Driveable vs towable for x country trip
We are trying to weigh the pros and cons of the different types of rv for a 2 or 3 month cross country tour. We currently have a class a but have also owned a c and stayed in a 5th wheel on occasion....

We have done 3 x country trips in a tt/truck and two in a class a. The a wins easily.
The biggest advantage to an A with a toad is the ability to separate the two and still move them. It is difficult to drop a trailer without a campsite; you can drive the A to any visitor center or parking lot and tour for the day in the toad.
In tight spaces, we can unhook our toad to maneuver. If one gets in a tight spot with a tt, there isn't much to be done except keep trying. Our tt/truck combination was 53' long. While our A/toad combination is 51' long, we can drop the toad and the length down to 34'. There are roads and campgrounds we couldn't do with the tt/truck that we can with our class a.
After fulltiming in a trailer for 6 months we switched to our bus and will not even consider another pull behind unless we permanently park.
