Perfect example of why we need the OP to define what their idea of "full timing" is.

We rarely dry camp for more than a few days, so tank capacity is way down on our priority list but if the OP is going to dry camp for a few weeks at a time, it's very important.

Few people seem to consider freshwater capacity. How many TVs, fabric colours, dimmer lights & other blingy stuff is much more important than little things like, is there 'flow through' for the galley sink area or how much useful galley counter space there is.

The first time you go to a music festival or similar where you need to be self contained for more than a couple of nights you will wish you had much more than that piddly 60gal water tank.

That is like asking "How high is up?"

(And, why are you yelling?)

I'l look at the Kz line of 5th wheels, they give you more $$ for your money and have a number of different options, they are one of the few warrantied for full time living :)

Safe Travels

We have a 31 ft. Cameo. Built very well but just a few ft. too short. We find bedroom and bathroom just inconvenient.

Anything under 30 seems small, but OK for some. A quick look at Arctic Fox shows the 32-5M to be quite practical in most of the important features. The only grumble is the smallish freshwater capacity. Having a large water tank is very handy for doing longer time dry camping without worrying about running out.

What is your idea of full timing?
What is your truck?
How often will you tow?
How heavy are you willing to go?
What campsites will you stay at?
How many slides?
What amenities?
etc....

Not enough information to give you a good answer. Reality is until you get into the really high end custom stuff, they all use the same appliances and building methods. Some just put more lipstick on the pig...

30 feet is plenty big enough to full time in, if it matches your expectations. Likewise a "non-full time" rig can do just fine, especially if you are following the weather seasonally.

One of the issues with full time living in an RV is whether the unit is made for occasional recreational use or full time living. Often the full time living units have much greater CCC, better insulation, bigger tanks, ability to deal with condensation, better insulated windows, bigger tires/axles, and in some cases hydraulic brakes. Arctic Fox as mentioned above meets most of these criteria. If interested in an Arctic Fox, expect the fifth to be heavy.

Loaded question I know. Im looking for a 5th wheel to go full timing,I also need it 30 feet or under.Its just me and my wife.

Easy just google 5th wheel rvs 25-30 ft. You'll find a place to start. Then when you find one or two that you like come back and ask about quality from those that own that model or brand.

It all depends on what exactly you need. Give us an idea of your needs.
