Outside of just a gigantic 5th wheeler with 4 slide outs I just have not seen a production camper that is built for full timing.....
It depends on how you live as a full timer. When my wife and I took off as full timers along with 2 cats, we lived in a truck camper without slides. It was perfect. Great for travel. Great to have with us at all times during the day. It had enough of everything for comfortable living: full queen sized bed, dinette, kitchen with double sink, 3 burner stove, microwave (hardly ever used), refrig/freezer, heat, A/C, solar panels and generator, wet bath, and plenty of storage.
I remember visiting the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone. The big rigs were parked many miles away. Those folks traveled in their little toads with a bag lunch and stopped to use the outhouses you could smell a mile away. If they were lucky they had Purell to use afterwards. We stopped at the side of the road watching the buffalo while we ate a decent lunch, then took a nap, used our own bathroom, and eventually travelled some more. By late afternoon the toaders were worn out and started the long drive back to their hook up campgrounds. We had dinner and stayed until after sunset watching all the animals start to move in the late afternoon and evening.
Yup, some rigs are just too big for enjoyable full time adventure.
