Who is a Full Timer with a Camper?

I have full timed in every type of RV out there except a truck camper..I have spent 9 months working in one in the mountains though for a couple seasons..

Full timing in an RV is a state of mind because everything is smaller and there isn't much room..My favorite full timing rig was a 24' Beaver Class C..It could go where my other larger RV's could not and it had the perfect floorplan for us..There was three of us and a dog and cat and we all loved it.

Could we full time in any of the big TC models including the Lance single slide 1172,yes..As I said,the floorplan is what you have to live with when you choose it,the floorplan is everything in my opinion for full timing.

We missed a larger stand alone freezer and the washer and dryer the most full timing..Most of our time was outside or scouting around in a small Mazda pickup we towed with us.

This makes a lot of sense. And I agree that the floorplan is a HUGE part of being comfortable in whatever you choose to RV in.

I am really still trying to wrap my head around this whole full timing idea. That funny part is that for the first 45 years of my life I never lived anywhere for longer than 3 years. I moved around as a kid and then in the military.
Then I moved to my current home in WA in 2005 and have been here since. I have been a single parent and raised my daughter in this home. She leaves for college next month and I am staying here to sit her dog until she is done with school. So over the next 2-3 years I have to weed down my processions' so that when she is done and takes her dog I will start to travel. My original thoughts were that I would travel for 8-9 months and then come back home during the summer but I am not sure anymore.


My plan is to build myself another RNTH with whatever camper I choose. If money wasn't a factor I would get a New Host Yukon model with their Extreme Off-Grid package.
Other options would be the washer/dryer unit.

I am figuring I will use a 35' GN trailer which will give me 30' of deck space. I will get a Rampage motorcycle ramp and load the Harley on the trailer sideways behind the camper.

Then I'll have the room to load my Jeep behind the Harley.
I have also thought about installing extra tanks under the trailer. Something like a 50 gallon fresh water, 40 gallon gray water & 30 gallon black water.
Then also mount a 40-50 gallon fuel tank so I can refill my Jeep or bike.

My only issues are I haven't figured out where to store all my tools yet.
