Help me understand the difference?!?!
We are moving on from our travel trailer and looking to move into either a toy hauler or MotorHome. Seems like we are landing on the toy hauler. One of my must haves is auto level. I was originally...

just curious what made you guys go 5th vs TT or vice versa, and what made you go Toy hauler at all vs motorhome??
1) 5er vs TT - hands down the 5er will tow better, significantly less sway issues and generally more capacity for toys and other things like CCC, water, slides, etc. You have more floor plan options with the 5er too and they go longer lengths as well. I've had a couple TTs and 5er, if I were go back to a trailer it would be a 5er, just due to the towing handling.
2) Trailer vs motorhome. I have had a Raptor Toy Hauler and our Class A. As much as I liked our Raptor, there are several reason we have had our Class A for 11 years. Biggest reason I switched initially was I really needed to have a dually to tow that 39' toy hauler safely and that just wasn't an option for me. Had one near accident with it and I did not like having that much weight behind me, pushing me. With the motorhome I felt I was more in control.
The big payoff I found was driving. I could drive a lot longer and not get to camp feeling exhausted. Having made the exact same drive with both setups a few times I was very happy with the change. The the other plus? No as many stops, not for food or bathrooms!
But you need to know what type of toys and riding you are going to do. There are some places I wouldn't take a motorhome.
Finally the reason we've stayed with the Motorhome; we could haul our ATVs or our boat or now my jeep.
