Pros:
Cons:
Pros:
- I park it at a campsite and can use the tow vehicle to explore the area.
- The purchase price is lower than an RV.
- The tow vehicle can also be my daily commuter vehicle.
- The tow vehicle can be serviced or repaired almost anywhere.
- Repair costs and shop fees are typically lower for tow vehicle than for motorhome.
- Trailer does not lose living space to the drivers compartment.
Cons:
- I need a separate vehicle to tow the trailer.
- The trailer has no generator.
- If I'm parked somewhere and feel unsafe I need to exit the trailer and get in the tow vehicle to drive away. A motorhome I can just start up and move without ever going outside.
- A trailer typically has smaller fresh water and waste holding tanks.
