I think there's a "mode of use" issue too.
Is there room to park/store a Trailer 1. At Home, and 2. At Camping Destinations?
Is this frequent or intermittent use like 1. Moving North/South or East/West a time or two a year, or 2. Every week/weekend, or 3. A "tour" with stops every day or so?
Will there be a lot of 1. tight maneuvering, or 2. back-in sites, or 3. pull-through sites?
Correct that Trailer puts tongue weight onto the RV while Flat is about Zero and Dolly is Near Zero. Trailer can also shock load the rear of the RV with a bucking action. Trailer's the easiest on the car.
Hard to pick, if the players were Me and the DW. There's the technical/mechanical aspect, then the mode of use aspect, the personal preference aspect, and of course the financial aspect.
