We did a lot of soul searching on this question when we recently sold our 27' Award trailer.
After considering pretty much all options - including all classes of motorhomes, trailers, fifth wheels or getting out of RV-ing at this time, the decision seemed to be coming down to:
- new or recent Class A motorhome
- new SOB trailer
- recent model AS
All obviously have pros & cons.
We eventually rejected the motorhome approach because we mainly only use our RV for a 6 week winter trip and one or two short trips in summer, so it seemed a waste having so much $$ tied up.
Also, I cannot store an RV at our home, our storage spot is maybe 12 miles away. I figured that with a motorhome, I'd have to be going out to start it and give it a short run every couple of weeks and that woud become a pain.
We rejected the new SOB trailers because they just seemed so crummy inside and didn't seem to inspire any enthusiasm or pride of ownership.
So we bought the AS. Haven't used it yet - there than three nights when we brought it home, but really looking forward to this winter - I get enthused every time I look at it and all the more when I go inside, so it seems to have been the best choice in our case!
Obviously others would assess things quite differently.
