Newer pick up and a travel trailer.
Our new truck and FW rides just fine. What we miss are the advantages of a Class A while travelling. As we travel further and make plans for longer and longer trips, things like bathroom accessibility, travelling with pets, access to food etc etc, while on the road become more important.
When we bought our FW our plans were to travel shorter and stay longer. Now we are shifting to travelling longer and staying shorter.
And after having a FW for 2 years I can say that parking, driving etc are so much easier in a Class A - for me anyway. A towed car behind a MH tracks with the MH. FW is a whole different animal. And I would guess a truck and TT would be worse than a FW.
You stated the case very well, I've heard it said that if
you arrive and stay awhile a 5th wheel may be better suited but if
you tend to travel more, then a moho makes sense.
We are on our 2nd pusher and when moving from a gasser the quietness
sold us immediately, we didn't have to yell at each other, we could
hear the radio, & tv.
When stopping, there is no need to get out if it's raining or dark, etc.
My BILs with 5th used to say you have to drag a car around I said, you
have to drag a trailer around, and you have to stop for the DW to pee. Besides, I've got 2 vehicles in case something goes wrong, and having an extra vehicle has saved me a couple of times, I just unhooked and drove to get a part, another time was to go get fuel.
That said most RVs just sit unused or they are used very little which is a shame but life gets in the way.
Either one trailer, gasser, or diesel is great fun if you use it.
