While not actually full timers we almost qualify as we spend 8 or 9 months a year in our motor home. We are part of the Amazon Camperforce that travels to new facilities to help train their workers. This means we stay in one place for at least three months. We also have adapted our travel style to take advantage of the lower weekly and monthly rates when we are not working. All that being said I have found we put miles on the toad (Pontiac Vibe, new toad Honda CRV) at the rate of about 10 to 1. Having a toad that is comfortable, easy on the gas mileage, and big enough to take a couple of friends with you is essential to our lifestyle. It factored in heavily when we were choosing between a motor home and a fifth wheel. I just couldn't see myself using the big truck as my daily vehicle.
