Which RV handles best in windy weather and 18 wheelers passing you and then pulling over in front of you Motorhome, Pull Trailer or 5th Wheel???
My Class A Motor Home (gas) experiences are a bit limited. Owned two over the years - no complaints - althouh I didn't keep either one very long.
Also two TTs (what you call "pull trailers"- are there push trailers..:@).
In spite of sway control, always had my hand on the brake controller lever when an 18 wheeler was passing ("drag" on the trailer -if needed- to counteract sway).........and yeah - you knew when you were being passed! You learn to live (deal with) it.
Towed the TTs with 2 different 3/4 ton vans, and a 1T SRW long bed crew cab, Ferd diesel pickup. All had a few 'white knuckle' events due to the passing big rigs.
34' fifth wheel, towed by a 1T SRW, short bed, QC, CTD. Night and day compared to the TTs..:C
You can almost forget it's back there!..:W
No "afterthoughts" as to whether a long bed *could* be any better!
(Wow factor prevails when towing -and parking- with my short bed)
BTW - *if* I ever feel the need for a dually -or another long bed-
it will be a singled (not tandem) HDT "dually".
Will tow whatever you can put behind it, with all the whistles and bells, with a std DL, registered as a MH in most states.
(Suggest visiting the Escapees HDT forum)
Roll on...:W
