hello guys. please don't beat me up too bad with this question. my searching skills are not that good. what are some of the brands of travel trailers are rated for full time living? I pretty much have the fifth wheels figured out and have looked at many to this date. I have decided not to over look the travel trailer during my search for the perfect rv for me. any help would be appreciated terry t

You might want to contact the RV Consumer Group, www.rv.org. As I remember they recommend either Class A or 5ers for full timing depending on whether one travels a lot or just stays in place. They don't recommend TT for that severe service.If you spend a few cold/hot nights in my TT (one of the better ones I think) and listened to the furnace/A/C noise you would get a better idea of why you wouldn't want it for full timing. The RV Consumer Group has more info on this subject.You will now hear from TT owners who full time and love it. The difference is that those owners FT in their rig but their rig is not made for full timing.Keep in mind that some people live in their cars but they, also, are not made for that use.

Northwood MFG makes Arctic Fox that's a nice unit.

Arctic Fox would be at the top and you may want to check Open Range as well. Excel was making them in their Winslow line but don't see them up there any longer. They were a nice unit and even better built that the mentioned above. If they are not you may want to research and see if you can find a one of or a gently used one. Just make sure you have a beast to pull these as they are all heavy units.

Northwood's Arctic Fox and Outdoors Manufacturing would be good candidates.
