The extra bit of comfort, which it provided, was not worth it.

With everything opening up this year, I am back to my pickup, cot and Coleman stove.

Each to their own though.
In 2012 I wanted a Class a Motorhome to pull my 24 ft enclosed.

One day I am at a tire shop and saw a class A being worked on. It was at that moment I realized I would need more tools to be able to work on one ( bigger floor jack etc. )
I then looked at costs other than the purchase price of the MH.

So, in early 2013 I decided to step back and go with a slide in camper. Plus my dually has the hide-away G.N. hitch under the bed and 5th wheel rails under the camper.

If I need to pull either type of those trailers, I can have the camper off the truck in less than 25 minutes. I can not pull that off with a MH.

It has been good to me so far even tho the dually only gets 8.5 mpg loaded with the 24 footer.
Probably what a large m.h. gets
