We started with tent camping when the kids were little. Bought a lightweight Tent Trailer when is was just the two of us. Then followed the typical stages of TT and now a Class C. My main reasons for the Class C are ease of setup, room inside, and not having to drive a large pickup full-time whether we were traveling or not. We tow a Jeep to see the sites. None of this is inexpensive and without maintenance or headaches, but for us, our Class C is small enough to enjoy national parks but big enough to be on the road for months at a time. Mostly, it is all about enjoying the journey, As Gandalf said, "Not all who wander are lost."
