FULL TIMING IN A FIFTH WHEEL
I am planning on full timing it for a couple years starting next year. I have been looking at RV's vs. 5th wheels and am leaning towards a 5th wheel for the main reason I am still working at Freelance...

How much 'office' area do you need? If a lot maybe a toybox 5er is the way to go. Trouble is most toybox 5ers are spartan when it comes to human accommodation compared to a 5er intended for use by a couple in comfort for long periods of time. 'She who must be obeyed' is going to want a large galley if you want to spend time some distance away from restaurants.
You can't have it all in one. Compromises have to be made.
How long do you intend to sit in one place at a time? Most CGs have at least water & power. The sewer is only needed like once a week if you have decent tankage.
Running the AC off of an inverter is not going to happen. The battery bank would have to be massive. However having an inverter & as large a battery bank as space permits will mean that you are not chained to the grid. Even with a small genny much can be used, except the air, while the battery bank is being charged.
That is only scratching the surface in the decision making. Lots of research needs to be done before putting any money down. The last thing you want is a 'mistake' that will cost thousands more to replace with what should have been bought the first time.
