Hi,
If you were to full time a Murphy bed might be a bit of a pain.
I'm not a fan of slides, because I cold weather camp.
I would buy a used RV over a brand new unit as there are often multiple problems direct from the factory (it's not a bug it's a feature). Five years old is ideal age.
Definitely not full-timing it - probably 30-40 nights a year.
Could you elaborate on the slides and cold weather? We've definitely talked about the downsides of slides with added weight and the potential for leaks, but I have not heard anything about limitations on cold weather camping. A friend of mine has a 5th wheel with a slide and uses it a lot in Central NY weather so it's not something I've considered. We don't get as cold as you, but our winters are nothing to scoff at.
