I tend to agree with Grodyman....I think the best overall option would be a smaller TC and a nice 5er! While we love our large Lance 1172 from a space perspective, it's so large and heavy that you can't really explore with it, where if you had a smaller TC and a nice 5er you'd have the best of both worlds. The other issue I have is that with the mods I made to my Ram 3500 to carry the TC it's pretty rough driving without the TC on it. With a smaller TC you could in turn have a much more relaxed and comfortable hauling/tow vehicle for a run around. Lastly, you could go with a SRW vice the DRW which I would prefer as well especially when you are talking about exploring around towns/cities....I'd hate parking that DRW in Boston or DC while trying to see the sites:)!
