RV types for full timing

It all comes down to personal preferences.

I had a friend that full-timed in a 13ft Scamp.

Another in a 42ft DP Motorhome that pulled a large cargo trailer that contained his car and shop.

Talking with another friend, they once wintered next to a guy that needed a living space (Motorhome) and an office trailer (5er)

LOL I dont think workamps like you tenting it for the season though I am game for it! Thank you all for your comments, the RV show is next week so we will be looking at all the options.

Make it challenging, use a tent! :B

I agree with the personal preference. People do it in all of them.

-With a 5er or TT you use your truck as a daily driver after you get set up.
-With a MH, you can tow something smaller and use it as your daily driver.
-If you have a problem of some sort with a MH, you may lose you "home" while the MH is in the shop requiring you to temporarily house in a hotel. A major mechanical repair could put you there for an extended period.
-Same could be said for a 5er or TT, but the 5er or TT does not have another drive train to worry about.

We like our 5er. I like the idea of not losing my house if the TV breaks down and not losing our ride if the house has a problem. A mobile repair service can even come to most camp grounds. If I ran into health problems and couldn't drive, then I could put it where we want to be and the wife could drive the truck or get rid of it and get an suv or car. We have only winter traveled for 2 seasons and I'm already having some health issues and driving is one of the most aggravating activities for it.

One thing I dont miss about a TT is the WDH and the greasy bars going off and on all the time. Run your shin into that mess some time.

It's a personal choice. I like my fifth-wheel because I can set it up and use my truck for running around. The fifth-wheel is easier to hook-up when travelling by myself than a travel trailer.

It all comes down to personal preferences.

It is actually just personal preference. We started looking and were most attracted to class A motorhomes. Start looking. Check out floorplans - look at all types. One of them will be your favorite. Then start researching brands, build and model for that type of rv to find the best of that type for fulltiming.
