We are 50/50 for the below reasons Andre...
Pros to bikes:
1)More out there than in a vert.
2)Actually riding instead of more driving.
3)Fit easier in toyhauler garage.
4)Allow washer/dryer to stay in garage.
5)Cheaper reg/insurance/inspection.
Pros to Mini Vert:
1)When your out exploring outside the campground and it gets too hot starts to rain, top up/ac on. (Bad weather is famous for finding us while RVing...)
2)Fun for going to dinner when you don't want wind in your face or helmet hair/head.
3)Would allow me to have a DRW as next truck as it would act as 3rd vehicle at home AND allow the giant DRW to sit at the campground while we go exploring. (We don't stick around at campgrounds much. We like to explore...)
4)And most importantly to my wife (and me too really) is that we can bring our 3 year old with us in a Mini. She won't be able to come on the back of a Spyder for years which means no bringing Spyders camping for years.

This is the only reason that really matters. See the Spyders, get the Mini, enjoy camping until she is old enough to look at other options. No point in having the Spyders now if you can't use them.

Being parents is all about compromises. You can go for mid day rides at home in the Mini. I (Meaning the choices I made and value) decided a long time ago that it's not about the parent as much as it is the family. Based on what you have said, the Spyders are an option for Mom and Dad and not the family. That doesn't mean they are the wrong option for you or having them makes you bad parents. It just means that I'd chose the Mini based on that information. That's all it means. The question that remains is what about that awesome golf cart? Will it fit in the garage with the Spyders or the Mini? Or is that a wrinkle?
