A few of the motorhome advantages disappear after a few trips with a truck and trailer.
- Easier to back up a single vehicle. Yes, I used to suck at it. And occasionally I still get into trouble and have to re-start. But after a while you get good at it. Last year we found a great "tenting" spot and because my trailer is smaller I was able to navigate the S curves backwards just fine.
- No vehicles to hitch and unhitch. See above. I can hook up my trailer pretty easily now. Especially since my SUV has a backup camera.
- Your wife will want one because she can relax better on long drives. OK, this doesn't go away; but like Diemenz said it should really only be a consideration if you are doing a lot of really long drives.
I just don't see a lot of advantages. The cost is about the same as buying both a truck and a trailer; without the benefits of owning a truck.
