I have also pondered the A versus C question.  Although we haven't pulled the trigger yet, several issues are the same as with a Trailer.  Floor plan and size matter--the rig has to meet your needs.  To be blunt, you are going to spend a lot per mile on gas/fuel so go for your comfort and...

Having towed our Bullet travel trailer over 16k miles, we have talked about a motor home many times.  I have appreciated the number of comments about the Triton V-10 as this was a question I had, as well.  Thanks for the information.

My wife and I are in our 4th year with a travel trailer.  We have already upgraded once, adding 10 feet and 2500 pounds, and are planning increasingly longer trips.  I am looking forward to sharing tips on where to go and how to keep things going smoothly.
