Does my full-time TC plan seem reasonable?

This is very much a lifestyle question, possibly too broad for this forum. My apologies if so.

I am a single guy in my 30's. I work from home. My dream is to have an off-grid homestead in the Pacific Northwest. Although somewhat familiar, I don't know the landscape well enough to ascertain where the right location is for me.

My plan is to sell my car, get a gas dually + Arctic Fox, and hit the road. When I find the right land (6 months? A year? Longer? doesn't really matter) I will build a cabin at my own pace while living in the TC.

My questions:

- Is it reasonable to expect a new Arctic Fox to withstand full-time living for 3-5 years?

- I doubt I'll have much use for the TC once the cabin is complete. I would be happy to buy a cabin/tiny house/ etc right away instead of building. Should I scrap the TC and rent an apartment for (X) months, then buy a home? I've never purchased property before so I guess I'm asking...is it reasonable to expect living in a TC will give me a more intimate feel for such a rural area?

Thank you in advance for any reassurances. This is the biggest decision of my life...I don't want to screw it up hehhe.
