Hey Rich-

Driving a medium with spring suspension and non-air seat(the way most mediums come) will beat you WAY more than a Class 8 with air suspension, air ride cab, and air suspension seat. They are both equal in shifting ease. Don't count out the big rigs. They are actually BETTER set up for comfort than most of the mediums. You feel "beat" with your work truck because of the loads you are pulling, that fatigue you through the day. The same truck will be a breeze to drive pulling an RV because it is WAY lighter than some commercial trailers are when nearly empty. Give this some thought.
