From their opinion, the big increase in price, fuel, maintenance, and insurance was more for having a wonderful drive "on the road" vehicle, which for them was the smallest percentage of their use. Only one opinion of many.
A very sane approach, IMO. It's what Ed and I have said for a decade with our slideless Class C: for sightseeing (on the move every day) - you just can't beat a MH.
But now that we're thinking of escaping winters for a while (which means actually sitting still..LOL!!) we knew we needed something with a slideout to give us some "living" room. And as we looked at our options, 5ers quickly rose to the forefront of "condo on wheels". Since we already have a need for a hefty tow vehicle with our business and Ed's hobby of dragracing - a 5er became a "no-brainer".
Once we found out how easy (and QUIET!!!!) the 5th wheel is to tow and set up - we're looking at how much we'll really use the Class C, after our neighbor expressed interest in it for their kids to get started in camping.
Decisions, decisions.....
