Hi Valerie. That's a very good point. Thanks for sharing the point of view from a solo RVer's perspective!

Good point Mickster. Thanks for mentioning that!

That's one of the major reasons that a lot of people choose motorhomes instead of towables. Matching up a tow vehicle and the RV correctly takes more knowledge and effort than many folks are willing to put into it. So they get poor results while going down the highway. Thanks for leaving this comment Robert!

You are so right Lee. If the cost of a new RV is too much for your budget, just buy a few years older. It's amazing what you can find on the used market if you are willing to look around. Thanks for watching and commenting!

This is exactly the conclusion I have reached.

I've been looking into this and your perspective is great! Thank you!

That's a good point Evan. Thanks for mentioning it here!

Glad you enjoyed the video Debbie. Thanks for watching!

Hi Debbie. Having had both, I can say there are no perfect RV solutions for travel. I switched from a travel trailer to a Class A (most of what he covers with a Class C applies to a Class A). I want to stress that he really nailed it on using a Class C as inconvenient for in-town runs, vs using a tow vehicle. Also that you have to leave your campsite for those runs - which someone else may move into while you're gone. A travel trailer holds that space. So, you'd think that would mean I'm for a travel trailer. Nope: I'm happy with my motorhome. But it probably means I will find the right towable vehicle (aka a TOAD) so that I don't have to abandon the campsite at all. A Toad gets better mpg for in-town runs. If you go with a Class C, and you want to tow a small vehicle behind it - be sure you check the tow capacity of the Class C, so that it will tow the vehicle you have. Sadly, my current vehicle is too heavy for my motorhome to pull. I have found that even with a relatively small motorhome of 27' that I really want a smaller vehicle for in-town runs. We do this more often than we realize. Alternatively, you can just plan ahead so that such runs are fewer and far between. But life seldom cooperates that way. It also depends on how long you plan to stay in any one place. A few days? Two weeks? A few months? There is so much to consider in your decision. What kind of RV'ing do you plan to do? Weekends? Full time? Seasonal? Size matters too. Smaller is easier to park and drive, but you'll feel cramped in it if you're out for long periods of time. Will you be boondocking on BLM land for example, or going from one campground hookup to another? Smaller allows you more camping opportunities; you can fit in a lot more spaces. Larger gives you more comfort once you're there. National Parks for instance vary widely in how big a vehicle can come in for camping. He also nailed it on build quality. My motorhome was 13 years older than my travel trailer - but the build quality was so much better. I was amazed at the difference. Related to that was something he didn't mention: a trailer bounces down the road, which shortens its life: things just rattle apart. Less true of very large trailers - but still true. Liz Amazing covers this well in some of her videos. But a motorhome does this far less because your whole home is on a better suspension. How much your RV is going to sit while you're not using it matters. Travel trailers hold up much better to sitting than motorhomes do. If you're not going to be out a lot, or not full-timing, you're probably better off with a travel trailer. Motorhomes do not do well just sitting, just as cars and trucks don't do well if they sit for months at a time. Other things: a tow vehicle with a trailer is much longer than a motorhome with the same living size as the trailer. Therefore when in town on your way to your destination, it is usually easier to find parking spaces for the motorhome and park it than with the TT. But it varies. It matters as to how minimalist you can be happy with. Such things as a toilet/shower are deal-killers for a lot of people. Other people adapt. The range of what people do, and what they live in to do it - is astounding. If you haven't found Bob Wells's videos, go check him out. Also Liz Amazing: she tells it like it is, too. Bob interviews people in every conceivable platform, and you can decide better for yourself what you can live with by seeing what other people are doing. No matter what you get, short of truly monster RV's, water is going to be an issue. Unless you're using campground hookups all the time, you will be watching your water - and thinking about it - a lot. One final thing. No matter what you get - there's a good chance that after awhile, you'll get something different. So if you do - you're in good company. Many people start out with one RV platform only to find they're happier with a different one. There's no way to know for sure what works perfectly for you until you just go and do it. And don't beat yourself up if you don't get it perfect the first time. PS: Here's a video by Catherine Gregory who switched from a truck camper to a new TT and her thoughts on it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itZxnc550M7cj2g.html

Thanks for sharing your opinion on the subject here.

I'm looking into a class C rv because I have a small mitsubishi mirage, my work car. It will need to go with me regardless. I'll be solo and will need the class c instead

Glad you liked it and it was helpful for you. Thanks for leaving such nice feedback!

So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and have safe and happy travels!

I'm glad this video was helpful for you. Thanks for both watching and commenting!

Look at all fiberglass, Escape 5.0 or Oliver Elite II. Last longer then stick built.

Glad you enjoyed it William. Have safe and happy travels!

Ha! Ha! I think the towable you need is the Little Red Flyer Wagon. All the best Ron. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the positive feedback. It's much appreciated!

Sounds like a great solution for your needs. Thanks for watching the video George and sharing your RV setup with us.

I agree Mike. That's a good point. Thanks for watching and leaving a thoughtful comment!

Thanks for adding those thoughts and personal experiences Michael. I always appreciate hearing from RV owners who are willing to honestly share their opinion.

Those are all good reasons to choose a travel trailer. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on what works best for you with us!

Good point and thanks for sharing that here. And thanks for watching the video too!

Those are good points too. Thanks for mentioning them here!

Yes, it is for a lot of folks. Motorhomes make a lot of things like that very simple and easy. But as the video says, they have their drawbacks too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!

How about that for timing. I hope the video is helpful. Thanks for watching Jory!

Hi Mike. You have a point there. I try not to make too many absolute statements about RVing, And there are TT brands that build a good quality product. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the subject here.

Hi Joe. In the Class C category the decision is quite often already made for you as almost all Class Cs come with a Ford chassis. And the Ford chassis is very proven and reliable over the years. It's main Achilles heel is its handling and suspension can sometimes be a little rough. As for B+ RVs, I will be making a video soon on the comparison of a Sprinter vs ProMaster vs Transit chassis. So stay tuned for that. But I have already made a video has some information that may be useful on the Sprinter chassis alone. You can view that video at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/icuiorJmprLSmYk.html . I hope that helps.

Thank you so much!@@RVInspectionAndCare

Actually, the factors that have the greatest bearing on how well most any RV holds its value in only a year's time would be how low under the market value you were able to buy the RV, how well it was cared for before you bought it, and how well you cared for it while you owned it. I hope that helps.

Thanks for your support Ali.

Hi James. This video is about the entry level RVs for both towables and motorhomes. And that is travel trailers for towables and Class Cs for motorhomes. It's more fair to compare fifth wheels and Class As instead.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the subject here.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
