We had thought about motor homes. but we always went back to the fiver, because of having to drag a toad around and getting 5-8 miles to a gallon no matter what with the MH. Our duramax gives us 19-20 when not towing and 11-13 with our 30 foot Chaperral behind it, the combined weight is just under 18.000lbs.Plus in about 10 minutes I'm out from under it and the bed cover is folded down and we now have a truck to run around in wherever we are.Good Luck with your new home. be safe out there.
