Trailer or RV? Why we chose a class C 

Just started exploring the idea of living in an RV. I have family all over the country, I can do 90% of my job online and may be able to do that last 10% via Zoom. With rent prices ever increasing, and I don’t have a vehicle to haul a trailer. Now I’m just trying to figure out exactly what I need for the nomadic life I want. Glad to find your channel.

Just picked up a Thor ACE 30.2, appears to be the same layout as yours but with a class A front end. We spent a long time looking at different models and the layout just seemed right for several reasons you brought up in this video. Nice work on your videos!

Great job!

Thanks for a very informative video we are currently renting a 26 foot class c and are having a blast and researching purchasing one or a trailer..This was really helpful

You both are informative!!!

Great information. I have a small teardrop camper and considering a Class C in the future. Do y'all still recommend them after all this time?

Great video. We are looking right now and leaning heavily towards a 24-25 footer RV. 2 people. Wondering if it's practical to carry on back a large scooter to get around once we arrive to destination. The only negative we have come up with is not having a truck with us. Thoughts ?

Seat belts for 6 people???

THE RV IS EASIER WHEN IT COMES TO DRIVING & TRAVELING IN IT BUT WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH THE RV, WHICH WILL HAPPEN, YOU ARE OUT OF A HOUSE SINCE IT WILL HAVE TO BE LEFT WITH THE RV SERVICE CENTER. NOW YOU HAVE TO FIND A PLACE TO LIVE WHILE YOUR RV GETS WORKED ON.

I don't understand how people can happily tour without either a tow or towed vehicle. Not having a vehicle along that you can park in a standard-sized car parking space SEVERELY limits your options for full enjoyment of your touring.

Thanks for your review. My 78 year old mother and myself were thinking about the whole ABC class or trailer option. This video helps a lot. Thanks again. For 2 people, the C does seem like the way to go long term. We're not bells and whistles people.

Some excellent advice here, thank you!

great wisdom...thank you for sharing...

Thank you for the video. Do you still have the class c because I'm going to rent one and maybe purchase if I like it.

I purchased a really nice trailer in Feb of 2016 - Thought I knew what I wanted - then a few months later (May of 2016) traded it in for a Coachmen Freelander 29KS - so much more convenient when traveling. No regrets though, I loved the trailer when we were at camp on rainy days - but the Motorhome is plenty roomy and fits our needs and travel style much better. Thanks for the Video and great Info! God Bless you and your Family - Go Be Hive!

Get a bike or golf cart.

Thanks for the advice. We are just now considering the RV from our travel trailer. We have three girls and one boy, as well.

Thanks for sharing, great info!

Hey guys, thx for the informative video. I feel like your scenario fits for me and my family. We have two boys (8 & 3). I was originally leaning towards a trailer but as I was seconded guessing that I came across your video. Thanks for the insight.

Thank you very much for the informative video. Subscribed

What’s the exact model? Thank you for the video

All the best you and your family. Enjoy the journey.

Great info

Thank you for your experience, but I think you bought a small/cheap trailer and that skewed your views and your truck prices seemed inflated! Plus, if your van pulls 11,000 #, you could easily get TONS of trailer options that are DELUX for $25-30k that easily sleep 4-6 and more. IDEAL: Go to one of the nations LARGEST RV shows and spend at least 2 days walking through units so you can see what is available and TALK, TALK to the salespeople about the type of traveling you will be doing, THEN make your decision to buy. This is a massive purchase with years of payments ahead of you, doing a few months of research and visiting a show is well worth the time and effort.

Great advice guys, we're retired have a 30 foot motorhome, 3 old dogs.and.one young kitty, yes a motorhome is the best. We bought ours used $8,000. This was the best purchase ever. Retired folks could also consider volunteering as hosts or docents. Your life is not over because you aren't a computer wiz. We have learned how to fix old parts when broken and also added solar to insure we have.a.charged battery for water, heater and c_pap machine when off the.beaten track. Thank you for the advice.👍

More Pros and Cons of Class C RV Travel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mqbtxRWbr5g.html

I've had tow behind , 5th wheels , Class C and Class A units. To me the Class C is a good choice for many people. It's much easier to deal with than big Class A rigs , cheaper to maintain and easier to work on. Gets alot better milage . To me the tow behind and 5th wheels were just a pain to park , set up and tear down.

amazing that you slept in a tent while your teenagers and young ones slept in the trailer even though your small kids ended up in the tent. Wow !!

🙏🙏🙏

Trailers are RV’s! A class, C class, 5th wheel and travel trailers are all recreation vehicles. They are all rigs!

Hello, I just found your channel and subscribed.

I think you have glossed over the danger of having children unrestrained in a motorhome. While it sounds great to 'live' in your house going 65mph, if you have to slam on the brakes or get in accident, the kids go flying and WILL get injured or worse. But with a trailer, they are in seat belts and airbags. And really, you can't stop to use bathroom? We are not in big hurry and like to stop anyway. The length issue with a bumper tow is not such a big deal because it 'bends'. The fifth wheel setup shrinks it up a lot, so you can go big on the trailer. I do understand a F350 can be expensive, but when you need repairs, now your motorhome/sleeping quarters are in the shop.

We are regretting spending over $30k on a small TT- now looking at a small class a or c, under 26’. May be waiting a few more years though, since we will be taking a bath on a trade.

great video thank you

Covid fresks

Thank you for the info.

Love my Jayco 27N. No slides so Road Mode is great and I can tow my wifes car . Was too low so I got the 6" lift from WeldTec . Rides so much better.

Thanks

This was very helpful. Thanks so much!

I'm trying to make this choice but I think I would miss not having my truck to drive around once I unhook the trailer.

I definitely want a fifth wheel. I plan to be a full timer.

Thanks for the honest , enlightening experience between travel trailer & class C. By the way , why people have to take time in their day to comment on your audio , what the RV is supposed to be called is amazing ! You guys are not trying to win RU-vid awards ! Keep up the family togetherness. My wife & dog & me too, would love to move from our pop-up, to a travel trailer 23-28 ft or a Class C. I go camping in popup once or twice a year . Florida mainly. With popup it stays in garage. A trailer would have to be parked in driveway. Lots of big trees waiting to come down on our next hurricane! Can’t afford to store trailer 20mins away from house . Class C , don’t like the idea of not running & using engine . I would have to take it for a drive every week . I would love to travel together & have my family chilling on the bed while I’m yelling at the other drivers cutting me off on I-75. Read the comment about your kids not being safe while not belted in. I’m looking at a small Class C. Have any advice ? I’m sorry this is too long of a post ! I’m retiring soon & should get the RV that will be easier for newbies. I’m looking at taking the plunge on the more money Class C. I know if I get the trailer , I’ll always regret not getting my dream coach !!! Oh sorry , I called it a coach 😞 Look forward to more of your vids ! Thanks guys !
