Beth and I bought our used 'B' size motor home this summer and have gone out a couple of times to test things out. We really have not used the systems much so far, although it is nice to have a secure roof and a toilet when necessary. The main purpose of this vehicle will be to travel for weeks at at time with the freedom to stop anywhere and sleep without the expense of hotel rooms. A larger motor home cannot be parked in a normal size parking space, and a trailer or tent would mean the hassle of finding a campground- restrictions on both freedom and expense. This vehicle(a 1997 Leisure Travel) has a toilet, stove, sink, heater, air conditioner, fridge, shower, microwave, generator, lights and one of the best sound systems I have ever heard in a vehicle. The Dodge 318 motor and other mechanical systems seem to have been well maintained. I cannot understand the "tiny house' phenomenon in which people spend tens of thousands of dollars for a static home when used motor homes or trailers can be had for less than $10,000-$20,000. At any rate, we look forward to many pleasurable miles exploring the country in the coming years and count our blessings that we may have the health and wealth to do so.
