We've been towing a travel trailer for a while, but are planning to buy a FW and tow vehicle and start full timing. What features should we look for in a FW, with a view toward full timing? I'd imagin...

We have been full timing for about 8 years and here are some of our must haves: 8K Moryde IS Suspension, 17.5 tires, hydraulic disc brakes, rooftop satellite, Onan 5500 LP generator, stackable washer and dryer, big kitchen, lots of storage, large holding tanks, and TV across from our recliners. These are our must haves. I would not be without some sort of washer and dryer. Have you seen the condition of public laundries? This means that you will have to find an RV rated for full time use and most of those manufacturers have gone out of business so you may have to look at the used market. (Think Carriage, NuWa, Teton, Travel Supreme, Excel). And I think Arctic Fox is also a good unit. A full timing unit will be heavy and require a big truck (think one ton dually). Just my opinion.
Thanks! Going on the used market brings up a "chicken and the egg situation." How do you take possession of a 5th wheel without a tow vehicle, and how do you purchase the right tow vehicle without knowing the numbers--eg weight--on the RV that you do not have?
