Class C with a 20 ft enclosed trailer
We plan to start full timing in January. My plan is to get a 20 ft enclosed trailer for the SUV and to have some extra storage. The question I have is. How hard is it going to be to find campgroun...

It seems like all this hinges on full-timing for a year "to see if you like it". I can assure you that a year is not going to let you know. You'll probably be using the time to work any kinks out and to try and see as much as possible with short 'vacation-mode' stays. Full-timing is a new lifestyle and it takes more than a year to really work into it.
You're concerned of boredom. That's going to be a big issue for you. You'll want to move around continuously to fight it off. Many Type A's succeed in this lifestyle but you need to make changes....pick up a new hobby or activity....volunteer in parks so that you have something manually to do.
Also, with your planned RV/car/trailer set up it may stress you and you'll think it's the lifestyle rather than your equipment.
You mentioned desert toys so you might be working in some boondocking in your plans. If so, the Escapees RV Club (recommended) has two groups you might be interest in...the Boomers (but any age is welcome) and a new one for younger folks - X-Scapers (some still work from the road in various ways). They will both be meeting in Quartzsite mid-January so you might want to check them out - all are fun full-timers. They have many planned activities - 4-wheeling, ATVing, hiking, geocaching, happy hours and learning opportunities "how to do" & "where to go" around a campfire, eating.....
...just some things to think about. Best of luck!
