As a general rule I think I'm looking for a wide gap between GVWR and GCWR?
Considering your intended used as a semi-full timer I would give serious consideration for a late model diesel pusher that can burn fuel available on both sides of the boarder. There are full timers out and about getting by and enjoying life in tents, pop up trailers, P/U bed slide in campers or even small gas class C's but you need to be a minimalist to make it happen successfully. A 36-40' diesel brings a lot of options with both the chassis and house that will make long term or even part time living a bit easier and more comfortable.
