Most of the post are right on. It is what ever you like. The RVer that said you can buy a 5ver and PU for $70k is dreaming. My 5ver and PU close to quality of my MH was about $120k and that was approx price of my Mh and Jeep. You need to shop all of them. I have had a TT, 5ver and MH. I like MHs. Love running around in my Jeep. Just try finding a parking space for a PU Dually in a Walmart lot. Great for towing but terrible for running around town. Plus if you tow that 5ver all day you will be beat to death. Then you have to unhook. Pita. Unhook my jeep in minutes. Push a button and I am level. I'm on my 3rd martini while they are setting up the 5ver.
When we bought our truck & 5vr it was $85K set up ready to roll.
I & GF use truck for daily driving when not towing. Never have been in a parking lot/stall/garage that we didn't fit or have problem parking it.
Towing has never 'beat me to death' and I am unhooked in just a few minutes. You'll have to guzzle those martinis to make it to 3 if you're waiting on me setting up. Granted I don't have level up system but it's not that time consuming but it sure isn't a PITA either.
And I can/do use regular ole service stations.......not having to rely on trucker spots "Can I get in? Can I get out?"---got to unhook the toad so you can back up.
Sorry, just not buying it.
MHs & toads are fine......so are all the other types/styles of RVs.
Each has pros/cons.
