The thing we did to answer that question was to seriously consider how we would use the thing. If we were only going to camp within an hour to 2-hours drive from us or if we would cross the nation. Then we talked about frequency of use. i.e. if we were only going to camp within a couple of hours drive from us once a month, 3 times a summer, or every weekend. Then came duration of camping...2 day weekend trip, 1 week trip, 3 weeks at a time, 6 months at a time? Once we got down to really looking at how we would use it the decision became as clear as the mississippi river. We knew that we would probably camp in our state's CGs so the drive would not be long...Not a long drive equaled gas......we knew too that we would probably stay at least 4 days so not too many supplies meant not too much cargo carrying capacity so gas again. So for us a Gas MH was just the ticket.......So we bought a DP..go figure
