Class B vs. A 2.0 - Flexibility
An advantage our small RV’s have over big rigs is the flexibility to stay in a variety of different places. Over the years we have stayed in state/federal campgrounds (our first choice), both plugged...

Flexibility is the key, but thats not the sole domain of a Class B either.
For our family, flexibility has been choosing the right RV for the lifestyle at various stages of our lives. We’ve done them all, from backpacking in tent before kids, then travel trailers when we young kids, into a Class C as they got older, then a Class A w/slides when it was us, pets, kids, and their friends. They all suited us perfectly at those times in our lives.
Now, its a Class B which is form fitting for our traveling lifestyle. We aren’t going camping and staying in a campground for day or weeks at a time. Traveling today means taking a trip down the eastern seaboard, or inland, stopping at various places along the way on a day by day basis. Not lugging a residential refrigerator, 50” LCD, triple slides, and all the assorted things that used to follow us around is a blessing. Lean and mean, just what we use, and convenient and fast to deploy or pack up and move on. I’ve found it very freeing not having to deal with a 40’ RV pulling a trailer or vehicle.
Everybody’s needs, wants, and lifestyles are different and change over their lifespan. I can’t help but laugh at those that put down others for their RV choice based on their chosen lifestyle, overnighting at a Walmart over a campground, tenting vs RVing, Mac vs PC, etc, as their view of the world is skewed to suit their own ego, or just so shortsighted assuming everyone lives and travels like they do.
5 years from now, I’ll probably be in a 5th wheel or DP when we are full timing. But for now, I absolutely love the Class B over anything I’ve had in the past. I’ll probably keep it when we full time since its so handy even for day trips. In fact, if I could make it my toad I probably would ;)
