Toy Hauler Shopping: We're 100% New
We're newbies. Plain and simple. New ... Bees. ... and we're going from never to full time right out of the gates! My wife and I are motorcycle journalists who just started a new website, hence ...

We are on our second Keystone and have been happy overall. But, like others have said, every brand will have their issues. Since you plan on full timing and traveling around, I might go for a brand that has a good national presence, that way if you need service you can find a dealer that can do it.
As for the 35' max, with a garage, that's tight. I would agree with the others that you just need to get out there and start going through units to find what you like/don't like. Overall, we found many of the manufacturers all had pretty similar floor plans when it came to toyhaulers. Like, our basic floor plan was also available in a Dutchman Triton model, and a Forest River XLR model.
Ours is 38' with a 12'6" garage, and I would have a hard time full timing in it. The living space just isn't big enough, there's no room for a table/desk. I would also recommend a queen vs king size bed, to give you more room to walk around in the bedroom area. We have a king and it's nice and fine for us, but if we were full timing I'd want a bit more floor space. However, our neighbor has a Fuzion that's 39' with a smaller garage, and better living space. Still no space for a table (not counting the garage) though. They have a couple barstools. I guess you could set up an office in your garage? Would be a pain to break it down every time you hit the road though.
