Down size from a MH to a TT for full timing.
I know this will bring out the "Popcorn" but we are thinking about down sizing. Early stages of shopping. Getting to the stages of staying longer at one location. Not traveling that far at one time....

It was THE reason I went to a MH. Pull in, put it in park and open a cold one and sit and watch the RV'ers with TT's spending all the that time setting it all up! And the driving is different too you have to be on more when towing anything.
So you don't level your motor home or hook up the utility's? Only extra time involved with a trailer over a motor home would be unhooking the trailer from the tow vehicle but if you have a toad you would have to unhook that so where is the time savings? Sure you might have auto levelers but are we really talking about a whole lot of time difference?
Yes and no. We put the bus in park and hit a button. Coach levels itself. Then we push 2 more buttons and our slides are out. Total time, 3 minutes. We fulltimed in a tt before getting the bus. Regardless of the weather, in a tt we had to get out to unhook (spring bars and all), level front to back then side to side. Minimum 10 minutes. And, in the MH, we can level in many sites where a tt would need blocks on one side or the other adding even more time.
As for unhooking, in a back in spot, I usually unhook while DH checks us in, before we drive to our site. So, unhooking the toad takes no extra time.
Altogether, from backing into the site to sipping beer, utility hook ups included, 5 minutes, 10 if sewer is involved. And when it is raining, just the 3 minutes for the buttons. We have an inverter, a rooftop automatic sat dish, and carry 60 gallons of water; we don't have to 'hook up' anything.
