We like the motorhome because we don't have to leave the rig to use the bathroom, hit the fridge or make lunch or even stop for the night. We can take a smaller, easier vehicle because we can tow it. Many times on the way to AZ we stop at Boulder Dam Lodge, push out the slide, make a cocktail and a little dinner, and that's all we have to do until the morning walk-around.
Ditto...We've had a pop up, TT and now a motorhome. I ujsed to argue that a towable with a truck was better than a motorhome. But then I woke up...lol Seriously. It's all preference. Here's our take.
We are not retired, but camping time is valuable to us, due to both of us working. And with that, I have to work weekends every other month. So keeping things simple works better for us. Thus why we prefer the motorhome. As samuraitowd mentioned, being able to move around is a plus. We also like the fact that when it's raining and get to our location, that we can pull in, set the emergency brake and do whatever we need to do. We don't have to worry about going outside the unit and getting wet. During normal good weather arrivals, it's actually easier to set up than with the TT. Having the bathroom quickly available is a big help too. Our motorhome doesn't have leveling jacks, but if you get one that does, even better.
Like I said, I would defend the towable up and down one side and back up the other. But I have realized the motorhome is easier, simpler and better for us.
However, you need to look at what you want. Do any of the things I mentioned appeal to you? Also, what will be your RV style? Are you gonna go and stay in one place a month or so at a time? If so, get a truck and big fifth wheel and have all the room in the world. If you plan to move around a good bit, not staying longer than a week or two in one place, then you might start looking more towards something simpler like a motorhome.
