As far as making the move from a towable to a MH, the best way I've ever heard it said was...
"With a towable the vacation begins after you're set up. With a MH the vacation begins as soon as you turn the key".
A few years back we owned both - I would 100% agree with the above.
I don't disagree with that sentiment. However I just had a discussion with a camping neighbor who had a very new class A gasser.
His comments were everyone enjoyed the traveling portion except the driver.
He felt he was worn out from driving his class A gasser. The passengers enjoyed the trip but he was tired out.
However his dad had a big tandem axle DP that he felt was much more enjoyable/easy to drive.
Driving his dad's RV was a much more relaxing experience vs. his demanding gasser. He felt the DP was much less taxing/stessful to drive.
My point is the vacation always starts on departure for the passengers, however depending on how well the rig performs the driver may have to wait until they are set up at the CG to start their vacation!
All Class A's are not created equal. Driving a rig that does not handle well is not a vacation.
Granted we are comparing a $175K gasser to a $600K DP. Nevertheless they are both class A's. I'm sure the driving experience between the 2 is very different.
