How important is tire size to your selection?
Some motorhomes have 22.5 tires while others have 19.5. The style, meaning price point is the same. But as I said they have different size tires. How important is that in the big selection process?

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned is tire cost. There is a significant cost difference between 19.5"s and 22.5"s when the time comes (every 5 years). Yes, the 22.5"s carry more weight and typically will ride a bit better, but if the rig's GVWR can accommodate 19.5"s, I don't see a huge downside. I can also change a 19.5" flat on my own (although I certainly won't "enjoy" it); not sure I could do the same with 22"s.
Yes. The OP seems to be oblivious to that. IMO, they are comparing the purchase price of one used vehicle to another. (not the long term operating costs of either) Surprise, surprise, surprise . . . .
