so many of you probably know as of our the big truck broke down most recent videos
so that has us wondering was a class a b c something drivable would that
have been a better option than a fifth wheel that requires a truck who knows
so that is the question that we always get asked
when we're out and about when's it when are you going to get a class a when you're going to get a
class b one of those driving units you guys drive a lot wouldn't it be easier to have a class a
or a b or c or even a super c because they're pretty sweet right
we've been back and forth many many times whether or not we were going to get a driving unit
we have looked at them at the shows and we've thought wouldn't it be nice to not have to stop
to go to the bathroom wouldn't it be nice to stop not have to stop to grab something to eat
like i could get up and fix this that's what i'm talking about right there that would be amazing
the give and take for us has always been our fifth wheel has more living space
i think than a lot of class a's and i could be wrong um but maybe the way we use it
but like a class a has tons of stories for full timing storage on a class a is unbelievable the
whole bottom is storage and somebody likes junk everywhere we go we got to collect more junk
they're treasures so just think we can have that she can have the junk treasures underneath but
then he likes to have a truck because we have something to drive but with a class a or any
drivable you could you could tow a small car um i don't know so it's kind of a mixture what
are your opinions i'm sure there's plenty of you out there that have fifth wheels why do you think
why do you think driving units are better in fifth wheels or for us fifth wheelers why do
you guys think fifth wheels are better than the driving units because we still have a
even after everything that's going on i still have a decision on which way i want to go
compare it i know what it is but you know everybody has their own thing so
we're anxious to hear from you all what your opinion is and why you have the rig you have and
you know like what was your reasoning behind it and and i do get that different people live
differently so they have different needs um and i used to say we wanted a toy hauler and they don't
make a class a toy hauler but they do now so that's even a thing um but yeah we're just kind
of torn and interested to hear your opinions on that so after having your truck in the shop for
two and a half weeks long two and a half weeks you changed your mind no why would i change my mind
there's no reason for me yet i don't mean yet because it's whatever but there's no reason
whether you want a class a or a b exactly i look at them i think they're beautiful and i think oh
they are they would be they would be really neat to be able to just try all the space for treasures
treasures yes but i think it'd be nice to be able to drive down the road and have everything
enclosed in you in there when you get to where you got to go just hit the button and level and
go out and hook everything up and be done with it yes i think that is nice but the thing that
i've told everybody over the last 15 years of us rving and being in travel trailers and fifth
wheels the reason i want something towable it's just like what happened right there
when we broke down our truck broke down our truck broke down we were able to stay in the camper
for three weeks so we had our home we didn't lose our home but if we had a drivable unit and
the the the motor went or something mechanical like what we had with the truck if if the um
the driving part of it failed and had to be in the shop then you don't have a home like your
home is in the shop and and i don't know because i'm not familiar perhaps there are shops that you
know you can live in it while they work on it i i don't know that because i'm not familiar with that
but that has always been his thing he said you know if there's another reason about it too was if
we've had a lot of friends break down and they've broke their trucks broke down we can go get you
i can come by i can come get you we've had friends just like we said the other day
that we're gonna drive from indiana they were gonna drive from ohio to come all the way to
colorado where we were having issues they could have picked us up and they could have picked our
rig up and we could have left the truck in a shop somewhere we could have flown back and forth if we
needed to but if your big rig is broke down i can't come get you i can come get you but
now even though but you so so you have if if you have a driving unit and you're towing a vehicle
you still have a vehicle to drive but your home you don't have your home so for us for now anyway
we're not bad-mouthing any drivable units because i think they're awesome and i think they're a
place for everything but for us i still think the towable is well we've been using it's been
a discussion for years with with lots of different people um you know and everybody has their thing
you know sure you could stay at a hotel or maybe like i said that the place where you would have
it worked on would let you stay there um i know some of the rv shops you can stay in your
rig and you just have to be out during the day while they work on it so that's a thing too but
anyway let us know what you're thinking i mean your opinions because we are still feeling pretty
good about our decision that we have a fifth wheel so that if our truck breaks down we still have a
home did this conversation make you guys go one way or the other did it make you go and think
oh i never want to be without a fifth wheel or oh i don't care what they're saying i need a class a
because or maybe you have thought of something that we haven't so we're just anxious to hear
your opinions and your thoughts it's been a weird last two weeks this whole two weeks without a
vehicle and we were fortunate enough that you know our vehicle was under warranty and i guess that
factored with that it was going to be an extended period of time to get it done they hooked us up
with a loaner a little loner i felt so good to get out of there it was a cute little car but
it was tiny um i felt so tall when we got back in our truck i could see people again it felt weird
and we were fortunate that where we're parked we were able to stay where we are so you know that
wasn't a problem because that could be a thing too what if you had a reservation at a campground and
your reservation was up and you didn't have any way to move your your rig so i get that that's
a thing too but after the whole two and a half weeks without a truck without a way to move this
and without having our our truck it made us think about it again and we still kind of have the same
opinion but we're open to your points of view and we'd like to hear what other people think
either in agreement or the other side of the coin so let us know what you think and until
the next time you find us camping and heading down the road in this chevy safe travels y'all
