Best 5ER for full timer?

Sorry one more question that will help others answer your questions... are you planning on travelling around a lot, or parking it for a month or so at a time? Or, am I misreading that you want to buy a 5th wheel and just leave it parked somewhere, with no tow vehicle?

I ask because some places have length restrictions, especially since it sounds like you're on a budget, and may not be able to afford the fancy RV parks that usually can accomodate large rigs. State Parks, COE parks, etc., sometimes have size limitations.

Also, all that said, we've been happy with our Keystone travel trailer toy hauler. No major issues. Others' mileage may vary as there doesn't seem to be a lot of rhyme or reason to quality with RVs until you get up into the very pricey units.

I have no tow vehicle. I plan to find a 5er and will pay someone to relocate my home. I can afford up to $40,000. My rig doesn't need to be brand new, just needs to last for a good long time. I live in California and I have been told that RV's are MUCH more expensive here than other states, so I am not adverse to finding one somewhere else and having it delivered.

I'm not a full timer, but that's a really broad question! I would say to start, what is your price point, and what is your tow vehicle?
