Vehicle for Pennsylvania to Arizona and back

Don't know if this is the right forum listing but here goes. My wife and I have a 2019 40' 5vr from Cedar Creek, pulled by a 2006 Dodge dually Cummins with 95,000 miles. We are looking to downsize from this 40' to something more manageable where she can drive also. This trip, Pa to Arizona, then to Dodge City Kansas, then back to PA is 67 driving hours totaling 3,705 miles. We can stay in motels from time to time if we want. I am thinking either a small class A (-35') or a Class C. I do not want to tow anything.
Any experienced thoughts out here? Thank You very much :)
  • To my mind, it all depends on what you're planning to do while you're traveling. Doing any kind of sightseeing is made more problematical by not having a vehicle other than the RV you're traveling in.

    If you're traveling to get somewhere and do something other than sightseeing, and wouldn't need to travel much after stopping, then the RV by itself would not be such an issue.

    Personally, not having a vehicle other than the RV would be a major drawback for me. YMMV.
