Not necessarily. But to the OP's questions, are you already experienced RVers? If not, I would highly recommend renting a Class A for about a month to see if you can all survive in it for extended periods. Do NOT treat it like a vacation, just plain old live and work in it.
Then think about how long you plan on fulltiming. Those pre-teens turn into teenagers and need more space and other teens to call friends.
Thanks everyone for the feedback. We have rented RVs before, but never for a long time. We have lived in the 30 travel trailer we used to have for 6 - 8 weeks at a time. Not being on vacation, but living and working (I was working M-F 8-5 from the trailer). We were fine, we're pretty close. You have a valid point about how long. We're thinking 2 years and reassessing it after that point.
We do not plan on living in one spot. I am thinking about travelling from place to place and staying at parks for a month in some cases to get the better rates. We'll be spending most of the summers in Alaska (which is where we are from) to start building our cabin on our property.
Thanks for the info on the Honda Accord. Ours is a 2005 Automatic sedan. I had looked into the info you provided, but I appreciate you posting it so I can always go back and take a look.
I understand there are challenges to living in the RV, but we've always been the adventurous type and have never hung our hat in one space for too long of a period. Thanks for the input.
I'll ask my RV type question in the Class A forum.
Thanks!
