I am reading that they (park models) are not built for full-time living. I will do some more searching on that. I do like them!
I will be living in my RV full time. I have only just begun researching full-time RV living. One of my clients purchased a brand new 5er and had some issues with it. They live in theirs full-time in a park in Manteca that sports a swimming pool, golf course, restaurant and convenience store. There are a number of parks here in the Central Valley that make the majority of their money from full-timers, and that has been my consideration from the start.
I have another client that owns ten acres. There are hook-ups for at least three RVs there and she has graciously offered one of her spots to me.
I have read that Tubular chassis with cross members less than 18" is the best (better) build, but when I go to sites no one even mentions the chassis.
Freightliner and Lippert seem to be the big builders, but then I just read that Northwood builds theirs. Maybe it is truly a Lippert or Freightliner that has been modified?
So many questions on my part!
