Post this question in the Class A section and the majority will say Class A. By the time I need water (7-10 days) I'm ready to move on, resupply, and do laundry. Take a look at 10 year old 5ers and 10 year old DPs to see which are better built. Having two engines is nice if one stops working and my combined MPG is 14 as we put about the same miles on each. I have 9,000 lbs of CCC and there is not a 5er with anywhere near that amount of storage.
*Yes I still own a 5er that my kids get to use as I'm not going back to it... even spending three months in Fla. A DP is the nicest and most expensive way to go down the road and I worked hard and saved so I could. I see no reason why my 10 year old DP will not go another 10-15 years without major problems.
