We are full time and in a mh. We have also had 2 fives and another 40 ft MH both MHs were dps.
If I were you and Im not I would look hard at the fifth wheel. You will get high ceilings big kitchens etc. (I'm talking 36ft 3 slide type) these are not complex units, most systems are simple to maintain and repair. Add to that a 5 yrs old diesel truck 3/4.ton low miles you will miss the big depreciation hit. All of the big 3 have 100k drive train warranties and most shops can work on them. We move often and the MH is better for us, we can dry camp without getting out of the rig.
Just my ho pm if you need more.
