As you plan to full time check the OCCC (occupant and cargo carrying capacity). A guy in an RV park where we were staying had what I think was a ACE 30 footer and had very little CCC.
Here is a post I made some time back that be of interest to you.
"Something you need to be aware of.
Many full timers find that they need at least 1500 pounds of cargo carrying capacity (CCC) for each adult. The CCC or the newer designation OCCC will be on a sticker somewhere in the motor home - usually in a cabinet or closet.
You can see the definition of CCC HERE, and OCCC HERE.
Scroll down to "2009 New weight label" and download the pdf file.
To get CCC subtract the weight of water you will carry and the weight of the people you will carry from the OCCC.
It is common to see CCC numbers as low as a few hundred pounds (even on diesel pushers) which means it would be overloaded for weekend trips and unusable for full timing.
We have 2800 pounds of CCC and would like to have 3500. We started with a 30 footer with no slides and after a year traded it in on a new 35 footer with two slides."
