Travel Trailer or 5th Wheel? THIS OR THAT.

[@katrinabellofatto1246]

Great information as usual guys. Totally get thinking about selling the Lance. We hear those Alaska cruses are out of this world! Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Looking forward to catching up at the rally!

[@therealronaldmcronald]

Ha! A lot of time in the bedroom,. Cozy love shack, very good selling point.

A person has to sleep right? Haha.

We've had multiple RV's over 35 years, and just purchased a Rockwood 8263mbr. Its mostly just the two of us, and as we get older, less stairs are a plus. Thanks for your video.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Very Interesting Floorplan!! Congrats...it takes a while to find the right one for sure.

[@RetiredRoadTripping]

Hi guys! Thx for sharing, so many different perspectives on the two rigs! Excited to see what you do! Safe travels! ❤️~Lareka

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thanks...yup so many different ways to go. Safe Travels as well...Marry Christmas!!

[@N2it4Now]

Good deal, I've been looking forward to this video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I get the slide concerns. I cross my fingers every time we move the slides. But I think I cause my own worries by reading the FB slide problems on the Alliance page. We have not had any issues so far. 🤞🤞 I had forgotten that the 310 was your first rig. Incredible leap for a first rig. Oooohhhh, whatcha cooking? Another new rig? Enjoy that Florida Sun!! Snowing here. Rock on RoadSmiths!!

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thanks guys....both rigs have served their purpose and yes the 310 was a big leap but we knew when we were selling out house we needed comfort but as nimble as a 35 foot 5ver can be. We learned to like the simpleness of the Lance too...just would need more space if we had just one rig. Merry Christmas!!

[@robmcneill2967]

Great video guys! You had me thinkin pretty darn hard...lol. So right now we are renovating the Pete. 30 amp service, cook top, cupboards, work station, etc. With the deck on the back we should be able to load smart car, quad & kayaks. It would be micro living, (70 inches deep x 98 inches wide) but we could drop what ever trailer somewhere and for limited time have a " motorhome " per say. Its 33 ft long but that would fit state parks or those much smaller sites....(I was gonna follow your lead) but im pretty sure 1 Rig will do the trick. Merry Christmas & Happy New year...May the good Lord let our paths cross. We'll be watching in 2025 😊😊

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thanks Rob...excited to see your finished rig!. Its just so hard to find the perfect rig...but its fun looking! Happy Holiday and a Merry Christmas to you and Wendy!!

[@airstreamer]

Great comparison of the two sizes of campers. Very fair and showed the pros and cons of both. You say you may be looking at campers? 😮- Jim & Michelle

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thanks...they both have their place and have served us well....BUT...haha.

[@robertdoyen5434]

Great video and thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us all. We just did almost the same thing,we had a 5th wheel and now a bumper pull we only went down 1foot we dropped a lot of weight and height. I do miss the storage but did find we had more the we needed. Thanks From Wisconsin and Marry Christmas and a happy new year

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thanks....yes we all go through this gyration of finding the right combination of size, space weight, comfort and tow ability...not sure if we have found it quite yet. Haha.Thanks for watching and commenting

[@Midlifeglamping]

Brinkley is coming out with a new I series travel trailer you guys might like!

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

All the Brinkley stuff look good!! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@oneHL61]

Good comparison

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thanks and Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@matthawrysko]

Some good information and perspective here! Thanks for sharing. Debi and I talked about having a smaller rig for our Alaska adventure in a couple of years but we decided that our 310 would make the trip fine if we just take our time and be moderately prepared. We also are not full-timing though so if it breaks we have sticks and brick to return to ... at least for now. Take care and enjoy the Holidays! 😀

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thanks....yes I am sure many people take their 5vers up there..we have seen several other channels do that. The Hanks, Wild RV LIfe, Open Roading. etc. the group we were supposed to go with wanted to go Small...so we all did. Now we have 2 RVs haha...not great financial advice. :-)

[@matthawrysko]

@@TheRoadSMITHS You mean RV's aren't a good investment?🤣 Merry Christmas guys!!!

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Haha...yeah those dang RV salespeople told me they were :-). Merry Christmas as well!!

[@justramblinaround]

Hey guys this was good comparison if we were to get something smaller a Lance is a great product. I laughed when you have us the original tour at the mirror in the bathroom height. For such a small trailer the storage was really good. Ooh intriguing on what you have in mind cant wait to see where this goes! Merry Christmas!! 😊

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Merry Christmas to you guys as well. Not sure where we are headed yet RV wise...lots of life changes going on.

[@Oldoregonnurse]

@@justramblinaround yes. The storage is good in the 2075. When we sold our small RPod we were astounded. If I were a “full timer” it might not be enough for us.

[@kathyjoslin1361]

Merry Christmas!🎄

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Merry Christmas to you as well!!

[@Oldoregonnurse]

I agree more length would be nice. We’ve been using our 2075 for 2 years and I’m finding a few feet more would be great. We rarely use our shower because by the time you get the water temp right the hot water was gone. I know we couldn’t live in it full time. Max time in it has been 5 weeks.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Agreed....we thought if they just added say 2 feet....the kitchen counter counter would be larger and more usable, they could put the shelf thats on the side of the dinette in the back window..make the dinette bigger and easier to get in and out of. We have made the Truma combi work....but yes Navy showers for sure.Thanks for watching and commenting

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

Hi guys! We have very similar experiences. Looking forward to meeting you at United Rally! Merry Christmas! ~ Rhonda and Stan

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Yes RVing Is all about compromises..haha...looking forward to meeting you s well!Thanks for watching and commenting

[@N2it4Now]

What is the United Rally?

[@OverTheHillAdventures]

@@N2it4Now it is a RV rally where several RV KZbinrs unite and bring their RV communities together.

[@N2it4Now]

@@OverTheHillAdventures Is there a site I can read more about this rally? Thx

[@cwtex59]

Just sold our 40’ New Horizons Majestic and 450 dually. Have on order a 25B25RT Bigfoot fiberglass travel trailer and a F350 gas . Looking forward to no slides and smaller easier maneuverable trailer . We will miss some of the space and amenities of the 5thwheel. You should check out Bigfoot trailers .

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Those Bigfoots look awesome for sure. Congrats.

[@sherriweber7105]

Hi Ken and Pam! Sorry glad you out a video! I missed you last week. So glad you dud this video on comparing the 2 Rvs. I wanted to know the difference. It’s cute the Lance. I’m sure that with it being small you snuggled close! 😂😂 just kidding. I love those facts it have a kitchen. Very nice for as small as it was. Glad you are going to get another one and keep the Alliance. I love the Alliance. Great video! And I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Tear with your family! 🎄🎁🎅🤶🎆🎊See you in 2025.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thank you, Sherri! It’s been so crazy lately, we just haven’t had a lot of time for editing. We’re glad you missed us 😉 Yes, the Lance was great, just found we needed a little more space. Stay tuned, we have some surprises ahead! 🤗 Merry Christmas to you! ❤️🎄🎅🏻🎁✝️

[@sherriweber7105]

Oh good can’t wait to see the surprises. I love surprises. Glad you are going to get rid of the Lance. I agree it’s small. Merry Christmas Eve! Enjoy your Christmas.

[@melodygrandinetti5016]

Hey guys great video. Just wondering when your in your condo where do you store the rv's

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

There are multiple covered RV/Boat storage places in North Texas...and they are reasonably priced.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Great pros and cons! But now my curiosity is peaked! What are you thinking for your next rig?? Are you keeping your condo in FL?

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Thanks so much, guys! Haha gotta stay tuned to find out! 😉 Actually, we have a contract on it now and keeping our fingers crossed all goes well for a December close! 🤞🏻 Merry Christmas to you both and sure hope we can connect this year!!

[@jonathanbell5561]

Best of both worlds is to have both for different trips. I wish we kept our Lance just for that reason. Great video

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

It does a great job for those shorter trips for sure.
