Hi.  I am a 74 year old female who went from a 3/4 ton diesel Longhorn truck with a 38 foot 5th wheel, to a class A diesel pusher that is also 38 feet.  I have driven from Mid area of Alberta Canada to the Gulf Coast of Alabama and Florida, 3 times now, alone with my 2 French Bulldogs.  I did have a hard time getting use to the width on back roads, but got over that in record time.  It is so much more comfortable and easier to travel in the motorhome.  The dogs are so much happier as they feel like they are at home versus getting stuck in the back seat of the truck.  Best switch I ever made.  I still hate windy days and when trucks pass me, but most of the time, I am able to do the speed limit right along with them.

Best Review of fifth wheel versus class A I’ve ever heard. I can’t believe you all have five children! You don’t look old enough. Make memories!

Thank you for keeping this REAL!!! So many of these RV channels pump so much air - 100% lies -- Thank you for keeping it 100% REAL.

Great video! You speak from actual experience and did an excellent job of presenting your preferences in the various categories. What you miss about the 5th Wheel and what you couldn't give up in the motor home were particularly interesting and insightful topics. I also like the way you promoted getting out there no matter your chosen method or vehicle. Great job!

Just found your guys - GREAT video!  Y’all remind me of my husband and I .  We just went from a 33 foot gas coach to a 45 Ft diesel pusher.  Not exactly the same but similar changes. And HEATED FLOORSSSSSSSS.  THE BEST!!  Glad I found you.

Great comparison of the two!  We love our fifth wheel and I’m not sure we would ever go to a class a. I do love my gas cook stove tho….its a must for me for sure. “I already had a dishwasher!” 😂😂😂. See you soon friends!

"I like", "I feel". Always emotions.

I hope you enjoy your Holiday Rambler Endeavor. We had one for eight years and were very happy with it. We just traded up to a 45ft Newmar mostly for the emergency exit DOOR. At our age trying to climb up out of an emergency exit window just looked like a broken hip/leg waiting to happen.  The Endeavor is a great rig we found ours very comfortable and loved the amount of storage.

The cost of new trucks is way we ended up buying a low mileage used C. <br>I think you made the right choice for you.

Last August we traded our Riverstone 5th wheel that we started our full time journey for a 45' 2017 Tiffin Allegro Bus and honestly we wished we had done it sooner. We agree with everything you covered in this vlog.<br>Yes, maintenance costs are much higher at around $1200 for a full chassis service. We are home based just south of yall in Pataskala. Take care.
