Those Sprinter set-ups are beautiful!

I'm thinking of heading over to the show either later tomorrow or early on Sunday so the snow can cut down on the attendance. The kids are free so that makes it an easy decision!

I won't buy new but I do want to check some layouts just to get an idea of what would work best for us. While I've brought my wife tent camping and she enjoyed it, she's far less excited at that prospect now and with kids. I'm torn between trailer and driveable. If we get a trailer I need to buy a Suburban or full-size van to tow it, which I'm not necessarily opposed to doing. If we go class A/C you have the extra mechanical maintenance issues and no wheels for exploring once you get where you are going (unless it were big enough to tow our minivan as a toad), but a lot more room and child-separating ability during travel.
