2 RVs?

We have a trailer and tow vehicle that we love and they work really well for us, but we've been yearning for a small drive-around RV - like a class B - for short 1 or 2 night trips.

We'll be retiring next spring and plan on taking longer trips out west and further south - and we feel we need the comfort and space of our current trailer. But, wouldn't a B be great for day trips and some overnights?

We're waffling about it as there would be more maintenance and obvious extra expenses... It's one of those opportunity cost questions... If we *can* do it, should we?

What do you think? Anyone have 2 RVs used for different situations?

  • We have a 39' fifth wheel and are looking for a Scamp 19 for weekend trips... It'll be towed behind our '16 Frontier Pro-4X instead of the Dmax, though.
  • Yes we do and we are fulltimers. We have a 37 ft 5th wheel that we use most of the time. We also have a motorcycle tent trailer and we are currently on a 6 week trip through the northeast with it. We would never have driven our big 5th wheel up that way. This way, we can get to those spots that are just too small for a big rig.
