Call me picky, I'm pretty new here, an anorak of the first degree in several subjects, including M/Hs . Thick skinned and can do evasive action when attacked. Others may be more delicate until they evolve into a pi$$ taking fun loving don't give a damn M/H er
This thread sounds like a drunken brawl, someone is considering spending a not insignificant wedge on a motorhome, we are all converts and very subjective, this member would like an objective view, which we cannot do as do not know enough of their circumstances. I am terrible for pi$$ taking but wouldn't want to put off a potential M/H er off what is, we can all agree, a better way of life for us.
Don't buy and regret, (unless you're loaded!) think hard and answer the points put forward by the few sensible M/H ers! If you want hook up, sites, clubs, staying weeks in one place once or twice a year etc, stay with a caravan, if you want to go wherever, whenever, europe, making use of laybys, truck stops, cheap overnights, aires, without setting the awning up, chairs, bbqs out, no winding down legs, no aqua rolls, 2 mins set up,[HI] (turning on the gas, why can't they have a on switch inside? Then I wouldn't even have to go outside when I park up in the rain!)[/HI] A motorhome maybe for you! (sites are still ok by the way!)
To me they are a luxury after many a night out in a lorry and Brecon in a hole!, easier and more convenient and easier than a caravan, a perfect 'doss' machine and any disadvantages are outweighed by the many benefits they offer, that said it wouldn't have worked for me when the kids were home, for some it does. My last M/H at 21'3" was no problem to park in any town, tried a few. Can't say with the new one as not picked it up yet but suspect any place bar a few it will fit where the last did (3ft longer)
Only you can decide if it's for you and I suspect you will have more questions than answers, some which can be answered here!!

If you are looking to get a bit more adventurous I would put your bike on the back of a motorhome and get out there and explore so much to see and do.
If you just want to sit outside your van and watch the world go by then probably a caravan, its what you choose to do with it that counts.
