What are you working on and trying to accomplish?
I lived in a RV full time for more than 25 years. The one I'm currently in is designed for travling, iirc it's a weekender. not really designed for full timing.
A better RV I lived in was made back in the 1950s, which was repaired and upgraded.
I have looked around at used RV's but haven't really found anything I would want for full timing. Most RV's are pretty much made the same with some differences.
A person who has sold RV's for 40+ years told me RVs most all are made cheaply using cheap parts unless you spend a little money such as e.g. 500k to over a million dollars.
If I were back on my own property I would probably build a cabin or house. However over the years since sold my property I've spent most of my savings on RVs and RV parks, which aren't cheap in comparsion owning your own property, even if your paying a parks monthly rate. Though a RV parks montly rate is likely to save you some money when compared to paying rent for an aparment or house.
Another possibility would be an older park model that could remodeled and replace all the appliances, plumbing, etc. Modern RV's are designed primarily for traveling and not full timing. I know quite a few full timers, most have fairly nice 5th wheels, which are ok but still primarily designed for traveling around.
For travling I'm fixing up an older B-class camper van.
