Yeah, I think self absorbed and entitled definitely fits the bill on this one. It's absolutely mind numbing. I guess I shouldn't be surprised as courtesy and decorum seem to have left the norm a long time ago. That's a bit of a loaded question on the trailer, so settle in! :) My old truck had a towing capacity of 7700 pounds, it was a 1500 half ton. The trailer unloaded weighs about 6600 pounds, so by the time you add all your gear, plus all the stuff in the back of the truck plus ourselves, we were really pushing the limits of that 7700 pounds and you could feel it. It was a white knuckle experience towing with the old truck. My newer 2500 truck has a tow capacity of like 14,000 pounds, so it's a whole different experience. I still only get about 10 miles per gallon and the truck is an absolute tank which makes it a bit difficult to drive around busy tourist towns when you are traveling. A motor home isn't going to get you much better gas mileage, but you can also tow something fun behind it like a Jeep or another smaller vehicle. That makes going out on excursions easier, plus you don't have to pack up your motorhome and then re park it everytime you want to go out. Also take into account the maintenance. RV's require a lot of it whether it is tow behind or a motor home. Sitting out on the sun can lead to cracks in the caulk and cause water damage. I've already had to have a portion of my roof replaced. I now climb up and check the roof two to three times a season. I'd plan a couple thousand each year for maintenance alone. What you don't use you can bank for when you have a major issue like a leak or a engine problem or whatever.
