He laughed: "yeah, I started out just as you are. Don't want to drive a beast. Want a vehicle to drive when I get there. Lower cost."
"You'll come around" he said, but "welcome aboard, we are always looking for people to travel with."
My question is: What are pluses or minuses for motorhome versus travel trailer.
For example, having a driver when you get to destination. His response was: "well, you don't travel 80% of the time, so, when at home, you are stuck w/ a heavy-duty TV, e.g. a 3/4 ton truck." He preferred to tow a cheap vehicle behind his motorhome and keep a decent vehicle at home.
I'm sure it all comes down to different strokes for different folks, I would just like to hear what you all have to say?

Travel trailer owners, love travel trailers.
Motorhome owners love motorhomes.
The only person that can answer your question, is you.
As you said, different stokes for different folks.
It's near impossible to rent a large travel trailer, but you can rent a large motorhome.
Renting a motorhome, a size of your chosing, would allow you use it for a few days, which would help you come up with a better answer to your question.
The investment in either case is large, and to take a suggestion from others, could prove disappointing, since no one, but you, knows what will make you a "happy camper".
Keep in mind, unless you want to be on the constant "go", if you chose a motorhome, you should also tow a small car behind it.
When you have a travel trailer, you already have a means of transportation, without disturbing your RV.
