We actually seem to get out of town quicker with the travel trailer. Not sure why exactly. Four tires and a spare to service, no generators, no oil changes, no tune up or drive train repairs. The difference between towing the trailer with a big suv or pulling the toad with the motorhome seems negligible. In fact, I get the trailer hooked up faster than it took me to hook up the toad, wire up the brake lights, hook up the surge brakes, etc.. The one and only thing that the motorhome gave us that we don't get towing is my wife using the bathroom while riding down the road. We have arrived in campgrounds in the pouring rain and it's nice to be in the motorhome and really not have to do anything till the rain stops. In a week I thought that it would be cheaper to drive the motorhome, park it, drive the CRV all week and then drive home. But, we spend less in gas pulling the trailer and driving the Suburban all week. The motorhome went through gasoline in a hurry. If I were crossing the country a lot I think I'd rather have the motorhome. But, that's not what we do.
