Ours is kind of sized between a truck camper and a full sized FW at 21'. We (2) manage a couple months with no problems but I think full timing would be out of the question. I do know of single folks who full time in one but no couples.

Of course the axle stays the same.
My main concern is turning around if I need to, hence I can't just blindly drive down any dirt road I see.
