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...

As a retired RV traveller, I'd also suggest looking at a short-ish Class A. We started out with a 26' Class C to "see if we liked the lifestyle". We loved the lifestyle, but soon came to hate that turkey Class C with a passion. It was fairly old (an '85 with 10K miles on it). We bought it in early 2000.
It had the Ford 460 engine, with enough anti-smog gear for a small town and it only got 6 mpg. That dropped to 4.5 mpg above 2000 ft.It was much more cramped than we first realised, with a corner bed in the passenger-side rear, alongside the bathroom. We off-loaded it after a half season.
Four years later, we bought a 32' Georgetown Class A, a 2000 model with the V-10 and 4-speed transmission. 8 mpg with no drop at altitude and so much more room inside. We kept it for 4 years before realised we were dipping into our IRAs to fund the lifestyle, so we retired from the hobby.
