Cross Country Trip: RV or TT ?
We are thinking of a 8-9K mile trip this spring from California to the East Coast. We have a TT that has worked well for trips as long a 10 days and 2000 miles so far. We have been contemplating...

My vote is to stick with what you have. You're comfortable with it, it's in good shape, and you'll have more money to spend on the trip itself.
I think when you are visiting relatives, the truck will be handy. Remember not every neighborhood allows RV parking - so with a Class C, you might have to have your relatives come and get you because you can't park at their house for an afternoon visit. With the truck and trailer, you can leave your trailer at the campground and drive the truck to visit the relatives.
I also think that trying to get a new RV and getting it ready for a scheduled big trip is a recipe for disaster. Lots of posts from folks who had to cancel plans because warranty work was delayed, shop did a lousy job, unknown things went wrong at the last moment, etc.
