Cross Country Trip: RV or TT ?

Nothing wrong or hard about towing a TT across country. In 2014, we went from Richmond, VA area to the beach in LA and back, totaling over 7,900 miles. We had no problems what so ever. And it was great when we got to a point of interest. Drop the trailer in the campground, and then take the pickup out seeing the sights.

I pulled the trailer completely across LA from Cajon Pass to the beach at Dockweiler, then up to a campground at Van Huys.

You just have to remember when towing, to be extra aware of your surroundings.

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 trading the trailer for a class c Rv. (we had a class c for about 8 years previously).

I think the RV would be alot easier driving , etc than towing.

The big 'but' is that I know what condition my TT and truck are in and if we buy a new RV, we probably will have warranty issues right off the start so we'd have to take small shakedown trips before the scheduled big trip and then hopefully the RV dealers could get you in for repairs.
If we buy a late model used Rv (I usually buy used) you hope it will function ok.

We would probably run about 300 miles a day. With many multi-day stops at relatives towns along the way.

Anyones opinions will be greatly appreciated.
