That's kind of where we were at when we originially decided on a Class A years ago.
We could either use our car to tow our house, or use our house to tow our car. Of course there was no way we could tow a 30 ft trailer with our 4 cyl Camry, and if we were going to buy a trailer, we would also need to buy a vehicle that could tow it.
I think the Class A is more convince for traveling, i.e. starting and stopping, but the trailer may offer more room at less cost if its mainly going to sit somewhere.

This was seriously why I picked the motorhome over a new travel trailer. I had a 24 foot corsair and i was wanting to upgrade to something a little more newer. My motorhome is still almost 20 years old, but I gained almost 20 years going from the camper to the motorhome. I hated the camper life. its was small and cramped everywhere. It just wasn't enough room for me. Dark and dingy, no generator, and it was just falling apart. I sold it for more money than I bought it for though so thats good lol.
But my truck that I used to pull the camper was also on its last leg so the thought of buying a new camper and truck was a waste to me since I didn't really use the truck much except for pulling the camper. So buying a motorhome works for me as I have less things cluttering up my driveway and having to maintain and the cost of my motorhome is much less than a truck payment let alone less than a truck and camper payment.
