Bob, to give you some idea on size weight, I will give you info on mine. I have 2011 Jayco JayFlight 24RKS. It has about a 24ft box, and is actually 28ft long, tongue to bumper. It has a dry weight of 5035, which leaves me with just over 1900 lbs of carrying capacity. (Max gross weight is 7000lbs) That being said, I have a 86 gal freshwater tank, so I use nearly half of that if I have full freshwater tank. I don't usually carry more than a little bit of water in freshwater tanks, as most places I camp have water available.
My floorplan is one that I could live in fulltime or long term if I needed to. Now not everyone could, as many want much more space. I do intend to go to a slightly bigger RV when I do fulltime, but I also plan to change to a Class A. Nothing wrong with TT, just I feel more secure traveling to unknown places in MH than TT. (I travel aloe, so the secure feeling is important to me and my children.) Whether I go to MH immediately upon going fulltiming or staying in TT for a while will be wholly dependent on real estate market at the time. I can't pay for MH as long as I am making house payments and TT and PU will be paid for.
