The first thing is are you going to travel and how much. What type of campgrounds do you want to stay in. How much truck will you need for the rig you want. We are full timing since July. We have been rvin' for about 30 years and have snow birded and lived fulltime while building previous homes. We are in a resort in SW Fla. until the weather warms up then we are on the road. We like to stay one to two weeks in one place. We will return to winter in Fla. next winter. We like to stay at state parks and do so most of the time. We have a fiberglass roof. I am tired of patching the rubber roofs when they get torn from a very small branch. I may have a few scratches on my roof but no tears or leaks. We have a residential fridge with ice maker and water. A large walk in shower and private bathroom rather then walk through. Stacked washer and dryer and do use it. Two heat pumps and fire place. If you have a well insulated unit these are great keeping you warm into the high 30's. If you stay where electric is included you don't use much propane. King size 72&80 sleep number bed. Large closet. Our unit has a cook's kitchen and my wife who makes most of our meals from scratch loves it. Other things for me great storage. More Ryder 8000 IS Disc Brakes. High quality tires. We also have 4 6v batteries and 6500 KW gen. All we are missing is the solar panels, They will be coming. There is more but the point is when you full time you are living your life in your RV you are not vacationing for two or three weeks. So get what you want to make your life enjoyable for you not someone else. One last thing when you decide on your RV don't chinse on the tow veh.
