This is what I posted in another thread on Gas or Diesel! An I am retired, I have been retired for 10 years now.
Why even buy a Class A RV?
My wife wanted a Class A/Super C when we went back to traveling and camping when the children left to be on their own. I said why? We still need to tow a toad if we have a motorhome. Why not invest in a 5er and pick-up truck, than I would not need to maintain three rolling chassis. An save some money in insurance, operating cost so forth and still have two very good vehicles. A diesel pick-up truck and a very good 5er plus your car.
Will I am glad she agreed with this decision since we have had three different 5er in the 13 years we have been traveling and camping now. I could not afford three different motorhomes in that time period. Plus I can run between 65 and 55 all day long with my trailer attached. I cross the continental divide doing 55mph on I70 in 5th gear with no issues at all pulling my Cedar Creek.
The only downside to this is we can't stay at class A resorts, but do I really want to!
