Coffee on the road; using the bathroom while traveling; pets with us in their home; easy access to everything; more storage; as mentioned easy setup (can't tell you the number of times I setup in bad weather from the driver's seat; making sandwiches; great views; warm/cool while driving same when setting up; grandkids love it; driving is cool; 12 volt/120 volt system assures us of comfort no matter where we are; Walmart parking with ease; my toad gets great mileage while traveling around seeing the sights when camped.

Where is there more storage, inside or out? I have lots of cabinets and a huge basement storage area. For passengers, going to the bathroom is easy, but still have to stop if it's the driver. We have easy setup, but I agree being out in bad weather isn't that fun. We make sandwiches ahead of time for our travel day and have them in the rear of the cab along with drinks.

Have you gotten gas at Walmart's Murphy USA stations (used them because of 10 cent savings with their gas card--why not save on fuel if you can so have more for other stuff?)? This last summer we went to several and I find it would have been harder for some longer Class A's to do. We are able to unhook and fill up the truck if needed.

Underneath storage is so convenient. All the stuff we don't use goes underneath, plus much more. I had difficulty storing some of the boxes and other storage items inside the trailer and truck. In the truck it was exposed to the elements, other people could get to it. Underneath it's locked away and heated. Sure we can make sandwiches ahead of time, we used to do that. But the comfort of the use of the refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker is just what the doctor ordered -- for us. Remember its all about the space you need + the layout + the setup/takedown that work for you. This works for us.

X2 MH vs tow able no contest in that area. I even added a 100 gallon fuel tank and canopy to my truck and with the twins it was hopeless. The trips in the MH have been night and day. 75% less futzing with tow equipment, generator, getting leveled. In the MH it is night and day. If my wife needs to change a diaper she can do while we are driving. Our daughter can watch TV while driving. She can get pop and snacks out of the fridge or cupboards.
