The answer is. Get what you want. You are the only one you have to please.
Agree 100%. First I would not even make a decision based on costs. I would go with what you will want. You can get truck/5er cambos for the same price as Class A's. You can get some Class A's that are cheaper and more in line with teh truck/5er combo price.
5'er Pros- Normally larger inside
- If truck brakes down, you can how 5'er towed to campground and stay in it
- Truck serves as a toad
5'er Cons- When parking it at campsite, there is more to setting it up outside generally than a MH. Weather can be an issue
- Sit up higher, therefore more steps to get inside. Then once inside, even more steps.
- Have to go back outside to hook the truck back up.
MH Pros- Fully self contained. Pull in anywhere and all the controls are inside. Can turn on generator from inside
- Less steps over all in general.
- Easier to stop somewhere and rest.
MH Cons- If you want to get around, you wsill either need a toad, a rental or pack everything up and drive the MH (which can cause other issues).
- If you have a toad, then a second motor to care for.
- If MH breaks down, then your sleeping quarters are gone with it.Sometimes they will let you stat in it overnight at mechanic shop, but who really wants to do that?
