Buying A New Travel Trailer...Yikes!
Hi Everybody, After several awful apartment experiences and $$$ wasted we have finally said goodbye to apartment renting and have decided to buy and live in an RV, more particularly, a travel trail...

If I was going to go full-time, it would be in a fiver with a 1-ton PU as the TV. Most makers have lines of fivers aimed at full-timers, not many TT's are designed/built to the same goal. Separating the living quarters maintenance from the mobility maintenance is a major factor IMO.
I'm so glad I went with a pre-owned TT, I spent part of the money saved on outfitting it and upgrading it.
I'd highly recommend finding a local mobile RV tech who can help inspect anything you plan to purchase (I think ours charged $300 for a full PDI type effort).
If your apartment air issues were something other than "labs" I'd be sure to consider that most RV parks and campgrounds have no restrictions on smoking.
Don't worry so much about the black tank stuff (YouTube is your friend). In a few weeks you'll be a pro and not have any issues. Quick tip #1 is to turn off the bathroom fan before flushing the toilet to avoid pulling tank smells into your coach.
Also as far as location is concerned, some mobile home parks allow long-term RV parking in some spaces.
Good luck with the project.
