On the other hand, isn't it illegal in many states to be riding inside a
towed RV?

On what other hand? Your question makes no sense in the context given.



Sure it does. In a motorhome, the passengers get to enjoy some of the
conveniences of the motorhome while it is underway. In a towed RV, in
most states, your conveniences while underway are limited to what's
available in the truck, because it is illegal to be inside the RV.

Got it?

Abstract thinking, Johnny. Give it a try. If you are able.

What was abstract? You're proud that you can ask a nonsensical question?

The enjoyment of 'some of the conveniences of the motorhome' has never been an issue with us.
Neither of us has ever said, "Wouldn't it be nice to go back and pee, cook, sleep, watch TV, etc." I
suppose you'd get a charge out of it, but those 'conveniences' aren't, to me, worth the hassle and
expense of a motorhome suitable for only one thing. I wouldn't want my wife back there cooking while
going down the road, and I can't see anything else that would make the motorhome all that practical.

Everybody is different... If we ever get our asses out of the situation
we are in now we plan to get a pickup truck with a slide on camper for
me, and tow a trailer with bikes and residence for Jess... In a pinch we
can tuck into either, or dump both and ride it out in the pickup.

One thing we have different that most of you (I suppose) is that when we
are heading for a race with bad weather expected, we don't re-route or
reschedule our trip so it happens we have found ourselves camping in
tornado warnings more than once... nothing worse than sitting in a tent
or a jeep on the top of a bald hill while tornadoes are touching down in
the area... Someone said one touched at the other end of the parade
field in one trip, it was nuts..
