Hello all! My girlfriend and I are considering living in a FW FT. We are looking at the GD 350M but we are confused. We thought we could get an RV loan but that is not the case if we wind up livi...

Welcome to the RV lifestyle.
We've been fulltiming for 4 years and have spent much of it in one area because our youngest has been in college in the area. We've taken frequent shorter road trips but come back to spend a month (or 3) here regularly.
There are a lot of permanent residents at the park stay at there. Some of them just 'live' in a trailer in an RV park. Others are really enjoying the full time lifestyle even though they stay in one place permanently. I would say it's all in your perspective. And if you think you would like the lifestyle, then go for it! It can be great fun even without the extensive travel.
Also, if you are patient and keep looking, you can find a good quality, nice used RV for a lot less that will keep the loan amounts down. And if you do decide full timing isn't for you . . . you can keep the RV for travel only if you don't over spend.
We started 4 years ago in a well cared for 2008 Montana 3200RL and bought a used 1 ton Ford for a little over $60k total.
After a few years if you feel like it's what you want to do long term, you can trade up to a newer model.
Anyway . . . welcome aboard!
