I borrowed my fil's lance camper with a slide out and it was sweet....but I could buy a dang nice trailer and a fishing boat for the price. The part I didn't like on my mh was more expensive to license here, another rig to insure for collision, the thing just always needs something because it doesn't get enough miles through the year and working on one is suck squared. I lost a alternator in Ely nv once and I sure did wish it was just a pickup. My diesel truck gets decent mileage towing our trailers, but my motor home with the big block was good for about 7-9mpg...and another set of filters and different tires to stock.
