We will be full-timing by the time we purchase this unit.
We will most likely to look for places to stay for 2 - 4 weeks at a time, and look for scenic or trails to hike around frequently. This means lots of driving around the camping site, perhaps up to 100 miles radius or more during the stay. We will do this throughout the year, at least for the first couple of years.
So far, our thoughts is to get a diesel puckup (3500 series) dually and one of DRV, Excel or Lifestyle.
But I'm beginning to wonder if I'm better off with a Class A + a economy toad vehicle since we plan to move quite frequently?
What would be the pros and cons for each setup for our case?
I've own both and PT in both. I will tell you my vote would be for the 5'ver. Yes having a dully as a daily driver will be a pain at times, but the increase in living comfort will be worth it. The other reasons would be that the truck will be driven daily which is a good thing. Leaving a MH sit for a month or longer will create issues (especially around salt air.) Last but not least is the fact that having two parts mean you can upgrade each one if the need arises. Having a MH means you need to swap out the whole thing, just to get one half right.
