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....

Continuing the fun on this rainy day:
1. My MH generator is fed by a 55 gallon tank.
2. I've had many vehicle batteries fail over the years.
3. My coach area is always cool if the driving area is cool and my coach area is always warm if the driving area is warm ... no dog walking at first is required.
4. The person not driving can "go" anytime with no stops required.
5. We have our whole RV refrig available when going down the road.
6. We just traveled 3000 miles with friends who use a (small) TT RV pulled by a pickup truck. We can stop and set up camp way faster than they can ... or break camp and take off way faster than they can if they had their towing truck unhooked beforehand.
7. My coach batteries are kept charged very efficiently via 6 guage wiring from the engine alternator.
8. My TT battery bank is charged by either of our two generators.
9. We gas-up at the forward pump while leaving the rear end pump free for others ... and travel with a no toad no-slide pretty compact 24 foot Class C that can park in a whole bunch of standard parking spots.
10. Our little home is always with us ... no need to drive back to it before proceeding on to somewhere else.
