Towing w/ Diesel motorhome

Who tows enclosed with a diesel motor home? Who tows with a toter and which is better? Motor home or Pusher?
I may tow 5-7 times per years.

Like you mine sees little use.A toter was too cramped I have a Funmover 35C on F650 super duty chassis 5.9 Cummins powered.
Sleeps 5 or 6 full bath ,one slide,there's a lift gate and 10" garage out back. Now I can load my Harley on out of town race trips and see new sights . Very nice on the road plus I added a Toad and you would never know there was a trailer behind it.

I bought a Holiday Rambler 38' Diesel Pusher in January.
It has a 330 CAT and pulls my 24 enclosed without a problem.
Towed to Richmond last month and ran 65 most of the way, lose a little on hills but not to much.
Just got back from Bowling Green, KY towing about 10K, down to 40 on 7% grades but I dought my dually would do much better, passed 18 wheelers on every hill! I don't know why I waited so long.

I have an 04 Fleetwood Discovery diesel pusher and tow a 28' cargomate trailer that is loaded with tools, spares and a golf cart. Lots of hills out here n the west and I have no complaints. More power would be nice but it does well. My advice is buy the most power and number of slides you can, we have four. The power is obvious the more slides make staying in it less cramped. Here is our rig. next up is a stacker.

I pulled a 49' goose with a TAD and 2 spare engines,2 spare trans and hundreds of clutch disc. Lot's of tools, 100 gals fresh water, engine changer and tons of other stuff. My dually would not do it, it messed with the computer on my dually it was so heavy.

300 HP is not enough imo for a big truck or RV to pull a trailer.

So I bought this used with 4400 miles on it in 2002.
FL112 cab which allows the big engines, It has a special order RV C-12 Cat with 505 HP and a double over drive full auto trans. It's a dream to drive with ton's of power and get's better fuel mileage than my dually got. 200 gals fuel =1700 miles.
It's a 16' box which is big enough for 2 of us. It has everything that a RV has including 125 gals of fresh water and 2 holding tanks to match.8KW diesel genset, the works. We have stayed in it for up to 2 weeks at a time.

I can take it anywhere, any parking lot, any campground with my open trailer. Can't do that with a large enclosed trailer.

If I was not going to pull a trailer then a diesel pusher would be my choice for sure, motor in the back for sure. Just I would hate to only have 330 HP, that ain't sh!t after your used to 505HP.

Although I sold mine when the economy went south I absolutely loved having it. It was a 2004 Fleetwood Expedition, hard to find 34' 2 slides and a 300hp Cummins. Pretty much a house on wheels. Nice having a stocked refridgerator, 8kw diesel generator, clean bathroom and all the comforts of home. My advice, buy as much M/H as you can afford. Keep in mind DOT is gonna start busting the Big "white" rigs, ie, toterhomes very soon. In fact, they already have. IMO, some guys are just pushing the limits a little too far.
