We went from a DP class A to a TT because we don't travel like we used to and I'm a lot happier with a $35K trailer sitting in the drive than with a $250K DP sitting around doing nothing. That said, a motorhome is a lot more useful than a TT in my opinion. Here's what we've found.
1-we used to tow a Wrangler. Could hook and un-hook in about 60 seconds. The Wrangler was a lot more useful for touring than a large pick up. Try to take your hemi dually (or just about any pickup) up Imogene pass in Colorado.
2-when we stopped at Wally World (or anywhere else) we didn't even have to open the door to go to bed. And we didn't have to go out in the rain or snow or wind either.
3-the house is always at a good livable temperature. All the time.
4-every time we needed engine service we were always able to get hook ups at the service center and stayed in the unit except during working hours when the mechanics needed it. They simply use a fork truck to move it in the shop during the day and back to a parking spot at night. Cummins takes care of their RV customers.
5-want a sandwich? No problem. The wife just goes back and makes one. Don't have to bother stopping to eat in a hot or cold TT.
6-don't have to worry about weight. Pretty much, if it fits in the bays (and a lot of stuff fits in the bays) you can carry it. 100 gallons of water, no problem. I suppose if you wanted to haul lead bars you might need to pay attention.
7-every moho we've ever had could be fully used with the slides in. No need to extend them to get to the bathroom or refer.
8-what kind of generator do you need. Simple, the kind that is installed, quiet, runnable in the rain or while sleeping, can't be stolen and starts with the push of a button without even going outside.
9-with a DP you have to look at the tach to make sure the engine is running. Living room sound levels while going down the road at 60mph.
10-levelling jacks you can actually use to level.
11-Pets, no problem. Our dog just slept on the couch like at home.
Basically, I think a TT is probably a better solution for large families and for camping. A motorhome (with toad) is a better solution for travelling. Just my opinion.
