Anyone go from a Motorhome back to a TT?

I agree. Our mini MH probably has only 16 cu ft of exterior storage, and we made it work just as well as when we took the fiver. There are compact versions of most camping items. There is a real good folding chair that takes up little space, for example.

We went from TT to MH & are in the process of going back to TT. Liked MH but had to tow toad which led to wear & tear on both vehicles. If you are a destination camper the MH is your best choice but if you like to have a "base" camp & run about like we do then the TT works best in our opinion.

We did and are much happier w/TT. No. of reasons.

We sold our motorhome about two weeks ago. There is a lot more maintenance expense with a motorhome. Plus, I felt uncomfortable driving it (too big), and my wife would not drive it at all so I had to do all the driving. She has no problem driving the pickup pulling TT.

Gaaa! Too many choices! We have the same discussions all the time.

I went through a bunch of TCs when I was younger. Easy to get into any place with. Went to MH while still working. Mistake for me because weekend boone docking was basically out. Went back to Small TC. loved it. Retired & went to 5ver and full timed then sold everything. bought a small TT couple of years ago. Still not a fit for us so now back in. MH. So far we're happy. There are pros and cons with any RV you buy depending on your life style at the time. Wait a couple of years. It will change.

We had a 32ft motorhome no slide about 6.5 mpg and now we have a 27ft tt with a slide and I think that there is more room and yes you do lose a lot of storage space but I did not know how much stuff I had and did not use it so now we think that we have only what we need and the other thing that we had to buy is tv to pull this tt but that was easy we traded our toad for this tv and now we get about 16 mpg, did we make the right decision, for us we think so and now we will be able to go more places.

MY first three RV's were motor homes. I sold the last one in 2010 because we thought we were finished traveling. Anyway, the motor home was gone but the RV itch never left. After a year without we purchased a 2011 33ft travel trailer and realized almost immediately it was not a good fit for our way of traveling as it only had one slide & very little storage space. Our current TT is much more suited to our needs with three slides & a lot of storage. Motor Homing in my opinion is the best way to go but like everything else it has it's downsides. Gas mileage is usually terrible & mine was a diesel getting just under 8 mpg. Maintenance & repairs unless you can do them yourself will be very expensive & as the coach gets older the expenses get higher. A trailer is easier on the wallet from all aspects & a motor home is a easier way of life when it comes to setting up & breaking down. So I guess you'll have to find out for yourself which is better. Good Luck!
