So DH and I are talking and really evaluating our needs now and in the future. Of the 4 dc who are still home full time 2 will be moving on (or at least most likely) as they become adults. When all dc are off DH and I are eyeing a sweet little micro type TT. We love the cozy feeling of those and we are drawn to them. However with 4 other people to house that's not practical. At this point our "perfect" TT is the Grand Touring 2670BHS we also like the 2400BH.

We are browsing the F250/F350 diesel market as the reality is we should have bought a Pick up years ago. We are always hauling something besides kids!  The Expedition has been a Wonderful vehicle and served us well. Never thought of a Van. I will pass this on to DH.
Thanks again,

IMO just keep browsing until you find a larger vehicle (truck) if you think there are other needs for it. Personally, we couldn't live without a truck because we are always loading up and hauling something somewhere for someone that doesn't have one - or for ourselves. The reasons I would suggest the truck are several (other than the above); you can carry "stuff" in them...lots of stuff, you can tow with them (large trailers), they are as comfortable as a car/van/SUV and they are more "stylish" than the aforementioned
(I know, a very subjective view
)
I know you are drawn to a micro trailer now, and they seem cool, but wait until you retire and try to spend a month in one. You may still love it but I suspect you will tire of it quickly. We spend months at a time in RV parks and I've seen maybe 1-2 (southern US). Buying the larger truck keeps your options open without having to go through all the hoops again; and as I said, I don't think you will be giving up a thing other than interior "people" room possibly. Good luck.
