My two cents....you mention going full time...whether you get a 40' or larger, get a tag axle. Better ride, better performance and better stability. Also, if you go larger than 40', make sure the tag can be lifted.
Also, if you're really going full time, you might want to consider changing your state of residency. We were in California when I decided to retire, which I put six months out. We began transferring our residency to South Dakota. By the time I retired AND purchased our current coach, we were residents of SD even though we still owned our California residence. South Dakota has no licensing requirements like California, no income tax and only a 3% sales tax. EVERY State will recognize and accept your DL from your residency state. Something to consider.....
Finally, from someone who went from a 40' to a 45' for full timing, the extra 5', CCC, towing capacity, generator size etc. was worth the extra price. YMMV....Dennis
