Full-timing in a camper + TT
Instead of asking small bits and pieces which could be taken with wrong contexts, I've decided to post our potential plan. Hopefully you guys can tell me if this will work or not. I'll get the budg...

Yes!!! Another Acei thread!! You're awesome dude! Totally making the day go by in this boring conference I'm in!
Glad you like these threads... lol.
So you got a half mil large in looneys (or $300kusd) and need to know how to spend it.
Listen to Bedlam. He's smart and won't steer you wrong.
I agree - much of his advices have been very useful. :)
Idk what your infatuation with the overland diesel powered micro mini survival camper is, but it sounds like throwing good $ after bad.
Regardless of what your dream of the day is, unless you got a lot more $ stashed away, I mean a lot, think about resale. Buncha custom stuff that no one else wants will just be expensive and not worth much when if you need to sell.
I thought about this too. But at the end of the day, my truck won't have much customization. My camper doesn't need much either if I can place the aux tank and the batteries in the bed. So the only customization is the TT and I think its worth it because we haven't found a single one that we like yet. We are looking for a TT with much of what Class A offers without the engine in a more compact package.
Get the DP and a toad, or Super C and a toad. You could actually get a super C toyhauler and put a little toad inside it. That would be cool and practical! And yo could launch it like Knighr Rider out th back!
This was our #1 choice until this... The problem with this approach (for us) is that my DW will want to camp inside national parks. That means driving only the toad and our backpack trip gear - tiny tents, cold nights, long distance to washrooms. Despite these inconveniences, she likes camp fires and the surrounding environments. A slightly compromised but compact setup like this (or a small Class B) works well here. We are only looking for a camper with a wet bath and small holding tanks. Should be quite light.
Or a dually and a big TC, or a pickup and fiver. Could do toy hauler with this combo too and have a 2nd vehicle.
Dually is no good. We need to come back to Ontario 5 months per year to keep our health care going and driving duallies in Toronto downtown is going to be awful, especially in long bed form. Our theme here is a small truck, small camper and a largish comfy TT.
