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. Wanting to stay with a gas TV. Residential fridge.
Recliners across from tv. Maybe in the 30' range. Top quality only.

Just don't forget that a TT involves all that unhooking and setting up etc. etc.

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.

If it were me I would just add a toad to the MH. So you would have a vehicle to drive when needed. And add a res fridge and that recliner your thinking about to the MH.

We have both a MH and TT that we recently acquired. We keep the MH stateside and the bought the TT to use in Alaska where the MH is too large for. I can tell you I would not give up the MH for a TT for traveling several months out of the year.

I say this due to the vast differences in storage space, living space, set up/take down time on the TT, leveling, and lots of other little things. The MH is just a lot more comfortable.

Check out any rear living room with opposing slides and you will fall in love,with the floor plan. Our Outback 298RE would make a great retirement RV. Check them out. Rear livingroom opposing slides, any brand.

You will get more bang for your buck with the TT, a good one. There are some junk TT's on the market. I have had both, I like the motor home for it convenience, but the TT has more room inside, less up keep. Just MHO.

Open Range Roamer and Grand Design Reflection TTs are designed and built like their line of 5ers, many floorplans to choose from. These are heavy TTs and will require at least a 3/4 ton for a decent towing comfort level. There are others, but these TTs offer the type of amenities one finds on Class A and fifth wheel RVs. Hope you find the perfect rig for your intended future use.
