We have had both, but not to “live’ in.  I did however live in two of my travel trailers over time.  Back in 1979 I lived in an 18 ft one<\/strong> for 3 months.  That was ok until it got real cold and I was way out on the Colorado plains and a cold northern wind came though one<\/strong> weekend ( i had gone home).  I blew out the heat pilots and froze up my water lines, busted the how water heater and when I got back and thawed it out, it was a mess.  Forced me to a rent house.  Then again in 1992 I had to live in my 24 ft travel trailer<\/strong> (through winter again) but this time I was much further south and a little better prepared so made it ok.  Not the greatest thing to live in but it worked out fine while I was struggling to sell a house so I could move the family to the new work location.  We made it but again, it was not comfortable.  At present we have our second motor<\/strong> home<\/strong> and it is substantially nicer, better equipped and I am confident I could live in it extended.  <\/p>\n

My preference is the motorhome with a dinghy now, having had both.  But there are a lot of positives for a trailer<\/strong> (especially a nice 5th wheel<\/strong>.  The draw back is the huge truck you need<\/strong> to adequately pull those liveable trailers.  Then you don’t have anything small to get around in.  A big truck is not good when you need<\/strong> to run to town and find a place to park.  On the other hand a motor<\/strong> home<\/strong> with dinghy means you  have to sets of vehicles that need<\/strong> engine, and other maintenance.  the motorhome needs all the truck maintenance as well as all the “home” maintenance that a trailer<\/strong> would need, it is just all on one<\/strong> frame then you have to add the tow vehicle for fuel and maintenance.   A lot of people that live in trailers end up with two vehicles anyway so what have you gained?  <\/p>\n

In the final analysis, it depends on what you like, what you can afford, what you want to have, how you want to live and, most important, what strickes your fancy.  The following may help with some of your thinking and decision.  – WD0AJG<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So you entered your local RV<\/strong> dealership with a crystal clear picture in your mind of what your first motorhome would look like. Two hours later, however, you walked out confused, trying to sort out all the new terms you’ve heard. What’s the difference between a Class<\/strong> A motorhome and a Class<\/strong> C? And how are they different from travel trailers? More importantly, which one<\/strong> is best for you?<\/p>\n

This article has been designed to break down each type of RV<\/strong> to help you determine which best fits your lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Class<\/strong> A
\n Imagine your house. Now put a steering wheel<\/strong> in it. You’re looking at a Class<\/strong> A motorhome. Class<\/strong> A motorhomes are built on a bus chassis, and therefore can be more than 40 feet long, include any imaginable amenity, and tow a small car, or a “toad,” behind them. Once the motorhome is parked, the driver and passenger seats can be turned around and used for living room furniture. Class<\/strong> A motorhomes are the largest and therefore most expensive RV<\/strong> options.<\/p>\n

Class<\/strong> B
\n Because Class<\/strong> B motorhomes are built on a van chassis, they are extremely easy to handle on the road. While Class<\/strong> Bs are the shortest motorhomes on the road, they feature a raised roof for larger living quarters and get great gas mileage.<\/p>\n

Class<\/strong> C
\n Class<\/strong> C motorhomes are built on a truck chassis. These motorhomes feature an extra sleeping area over the driver’s cab, making Class<\/strong> Cs attractive for large families. If you are looking for a less-expensive motorhome with the ability to tow a boat or car, a Class<\/strong> C may be the best fit for you.<\/p>\n

Fifth Wheel\/Travel Trailer
\n A fifth wheel<\/strong> and a travel trailer<\/strong> similar, yet serve two different types of audiences. Fifth wheels hitch in the bed of a truck and can be as large and luxurious as a traditional motorhome. Travel trailers, on the other hand, can be towed by trucks, vans or sometimes even heavy cars. Fifth wheels are generally more expensive than travel trailers but more affordable than motorhomes. For families who already own a large truck or are looking for more luxurious travel accommodations, a fifth wheel<\/strong> may work better. For families who require less living space or want to use their own car<\/strong> or van for travel and storage, on the other hand, a travel trailer<\/strong> may best fit their lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Camper\/Pop-up Trailers
\n Pop ups and campers<\/strong> are smaller and cheaper than most other travel options. Pop up trailers can be towed flat, then expanded at a campsite. Campers are so small that they can be slid into the bed of a pickup truck. Both campers<\/strong> and pop-up trailers make excellent startup trailers for small families of one<\/strong> to three people who happen to be weekend warriors rather than full-time campers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
