We spent three years on the road while DW did the travel nurse thing. 13 weeks at a location, then move to another and 13 weeks there.
We started out with a 27 foot Class a gasser. LOUSY floor plan!
then we traded up to a 32 foot rear bedroom Class A gasser. It was very nice.
Then, after about a year of that, we had an opportunity to live in a 32 foot triple slide fifth wheel with a built in washer/dryer.
How wonderful it was! Plenty of room, warm in the snow and cool in the heat. I strongly recommend a fifth wheel!
I got a Dodge Ram 3500 CTD to tow it, and for the last two years it was great. The one ton dually wasn't all that difficult to use as a daily driver.
DW was licensed in MT, WA, and CA, and we circulated between those states.
EDIT: Note that if you accept contracts in CA, the hospital will deduct CA income tax, and you WILL have to file a CA tax return to get your money back. The same goes for MT. I don't know about ID.
