Thanks for the explanation - it helps knowing the mindset behind things to get a better idea on suggestions.
Being accustomed to a small space, and having a familiarity with conversion vans, you might be happy in a class C 21ft to 24ft. That could give you more flexibility (not having to maintain a toad, plus a car for your wife if she doesn't join you).
Since you have some time, it might be a good idea to visit an RV rally or two. That would get you some practical views of how things differ between RV types without a salesman making light of things to make a sale. Renting can help, but you won't be able to try out a TT or 5er if you don't have a truck.
Visiting folks at a rally, you can ask questions, and most folks will be happy to walk through their setup processes, etc. Then you can get a better idea of whether you want to tow (hitching and unhitching), get a big MH and tow a small car, get a small MH and not tow, or go with a TC, PUP or hybrid.
Appreciate the advice.
By reading here, I have noticed that as someone gets more into full-timing, better chances of getting into a MH / 5 rather than a TT. If so, if I was a half-year full-timer -- would a TT work better?
I am not too thrilled with having two drivetrains to maintain / insure / pay taxes on / storage.
What about road conditions, congestion, crowds -- is there a considerable drop in attendance at CGs / State Parks once school starts?
Or would most members here put up with the crowds for the sake of better weather?
