What up, fam?
Okay, so we are looking at moving into either a motorhome or RV in the next year. My wife has remote work and the kids are young and we want to spend as much time with them as possible. I would quit my job and look for adjunct teaching online and part time so that I could homeschool the girls and take care of the day to day while the wife, bread winner, continues to do her job. The girls will be 8 & 6 and we also have a dog. So something that will sleep all of us in separate "rooms" would be great. A bunk bed situation for the girls would be ideal, thought they can share a bed and be happy. We also want something that is going to be able to store our bikes and internally. We have simply invested too much into our bikes to store them on the outside why the elements and thieves can get to them.
I have been looing extensively at what is available out there from toy haulers, to 5th wheels, to motorhomes. With the trailers we will likely need to buy a dually truck to tow the rig as our KIA Sorento doesn't have the towing capacity to do the job. Not a major issue for us as we don't mind buying a new vehicle. We also have a nice amount of equity in our current home which will next us six figures when we sell. So our budget for a trailer is pretty reasonable and we will continue to have a six figure plus income coming in annually.
Here are a couple of travel trailers I was looking at. But they don't seem to have space for the bikes.

Here is a toy hauler that has an electric bed that comes down that the kids could use. but that's not really a great living space for privacy.

For a dually truck we would probably just buy something used and are not brand loyal.
The motorhomes seem to have the least amount of storage space bet they would allow us to keep the current car and put it in tow. But they you have insurance on the car, the motorhome, and the car trailer. It seems to be the far more expensive option.
We are flexible people and we don't need perfection to be happy.
If you have any experience with this, and I know a lot of you at least have RV's as I see them at races all the time, I would love to hear your thoughts.
