Neither of the trailers mentioned have adequate cargo capacity for full time living.
That^ and barley enough closet space for a weeks worth of camping for just two adults. Neither of those units are rated any where near for full timing. Very low R values, small holding tanks, no storage space. If your going to be stationary for a year why not rent a house? The cost of renting an RV spot won't be cheap. They'll charge you for elec if you're staying long term. Factor in the cost of the trailer and I'm not sure that the TT wouldn't cost you more. Another thing to consider is almost every RV out there requires some work right out off the dealers lot. Some have to go back for warranty work. Are you handy enough to maintain one?
JMHO but if you're dead set on it then you need to either look for a better floor plan in a TT. Or get a TT toy hauler.
I wouldn't even want to take all 5 of my grandkids in one for a week. Small hot water heater, small fridge, hardly any counter space, very little space for food storage and where are you going to put clothes for 6 kids for just 2 weeks? You'll be at the laundromat every other day.
Neither of those TTs are built strong enough to with stand the rigors of 8 people living full time.
