If your like me, having someone tell me I can't do something, is like waving a red flag in front of a bull. I'll show you what I can and can't do.
I think you should do some research on the construction and mechanical systems (heat, water system ventilation, etc).
Campers are a totally different kind of beast when it comes to full timing, can it be done, yes, can it be done successfully, yes, is it a lot of work, YES.
A wood burning stove would be nice, but in a 20-23' TT your not going to have much room to allow for clearances to the combustibles. You also have to consider that you will need to install a combustion air vent, so the stove doesn't use up all the oxygen. You may find that you will have to have the installation inspected and approved. You certainly don't want a building inspector knocking on your door and condemning your home.
If you do go ahead with the project I wish you luck and please keep us informed on your progress.
