We will be full-timing by the time we purchase this unit.
We will most likely to look for places to stay for 2 - 4 weeks at a time, and look for scenic or trails to hike around frequently. This means lots of driving around the camping site, perhaps up to 100 miles radius or more during the stay. We will do this throughout the year, at least for the first couple of years.
So far, our thoughts is to get a diesel puckup (3500 series) dually and one of DRV, Excel or Lifestyle.
But I'm beginning to wonder if I'm better off with a Class A + a economy toad vehicle since we plan to move quite frequently?
What would be the pros and cons for each setup for our case?

Is that the same weather that the 5th wheel owner will be enjoying drinking his beer while you unhook your toad to go to the store because you need something from the store?
5th wheels have built in groceries that Class A's don't have?

If there was a perfect RV for everyone there would be no choices! Each type has its own pluses and minuses.
For Us that decision was based upon the following!
On a trip down the Baja while Listening to " Welcome to the Hotel California"
A new line was added to the lyrics!
I have to Pee!
Those of You who are over 60 and have driven this stretch of road will relate! There is nothing resembling a "Rest Area...No Pullouts..Steep inclines...narrow Road...Boulder Fields!!!
In short there. Is No Place to pull over with that 37 Foot Long 102 Inch wide Trailer and The Four Door Truck!
Nuff Said!
