I do plan to live in my RV full time.
And which SUVs/trucks would you recommend, considering my budget is around 20k?
Sadly, I don't think you have a clue as to what you are planning.
A typical SUV is going to be very limited. It is not going to pull anything beyond a pop-up tent camper or a very small trailer. Certainly not an RV anyone would want to live in full time.
Your idea of buying a pickup truck to pull a 5th wheel is also naive. At a minimum you need to consider a heavy duty 3/4 or 1 ton truck for even a modest sized 5th wheel. You will not find anything in that class except a piece of junk for $20k. You need to consider spending twice that amount and then what are you planning as a budget to buy an RV?
