I think there are certain main decisions to make regarding which RV is best for you:
Everything else comes down to preferences, but I think the above are those items that will really make your choice for you.
For example, when I was deciding, I knew I wanted maneuverability, more weight/size, basic camping, short stays, and basic amenities.
Those took me to either a class B, class C, TC or TT. Cost knocked out the B. The TC got knocked out because I didn't want a large truck for my daily driver and I couldn't justify having both my current SUV and a truck (nor buying both a truck and a commuter car). That left the C or TT.
The C gave me the 2nd vehicle if needed for a minimal additional cost over the TT. In addition, it gave me the ability to do day trips.
- large living space vs. maneuverability
- extra set up/take down vs. more weight/size
- dedicated motor for RV vs. 2nd vehicle (either toad or tow with separate daily driver) vs. 1 vehicle (either toad or tow used as daily driver)
- toad vs. tow vs. take it with you everywhere
- deep off-road vs. basic camping vs. fulltiming vs. sightseeing/travel
- long stays vs. short stays - extra consideration of day trips
- bed and breakfast vs. tent on steroids vs. basic amenities vs. home
- cost
