I don't miss the TT at all. hooking up and dealing with the WD hitch in the heat.

MH tires don't have the blowout record ST tires do plus they last a few years longer. the inside of the MH will be nice and cool when you get to your destination. the bathroom is right there for you, and again nice and cool. slide and roof maint are required on any type of RV. As far as the windshield freezing, not worried as I will never travel in the winter, but car/SUV windshields will do the same thing. TT tires and truck tires will cost you a bit less than 22.5" MH tires, but MH tires can last longer than ST tires and longer than a truck that's also your daily driver, you may go through 2 sets on a truck to one set on a MH. also you don't need to worry about cleaning and inspecting wheel bearings every couple of years on a MH.
Just a different perspective.
