I've owned 3 popups, a full sized trailer, a motorhome, and a TrailManor. The motorhome was the most expensive and the nicest, in all ways. But 7mpg is pretty impractical these days for those 10000 mile trips you'd like to dream about. The full sized travel trailer was a nightmare on the road even with a truck to tow it, but the good news is that everything else is easier once you've done that for awhile.
The TrailManor has limited space in the bathroom, by comparison, but it still meets DW specs, which no popup ever did. It's a great compromise for an RV that lets you vacation economically using a tow vehicle you can reasonably enjoy every day. We found that the tow vehicle truck was a hassle going to work every day, and having that unnecessary motorhome engine/power train depreciating while it's stored somewhere was expensive even when you weren't feeding it.
