My wife gave birth to our first child last month, and we are currently full-timing. I have a stable job in the local area, and she's able to be a stay-at-home mom. We decided to go full time just after buying our trailer (a 2016 Grand Design Momentum 385TH). We were camping in it, and realized we could easily - at this point - live in it.
It reduced many of our expenses, and our baby doesn't need a lot of room right now. We have a ton of room inside, and as she gets older there is a loft ready for her, used as storage right now. We can trim things down as time goes on, and are already working on that.
We have an off-site storage unit with some belongings that we might use again if we get into another apartment or house in the future.
There is a lot to it - but we like the flexibility (can relocate if needed/desired, either locally to another park or to another state if required for work), easy to go on vacation and have what we need/want with us, and it has a real "prepper" element with a 5500 watt generator and 60 gallons of fuel storage on-board, and being designed for portability and operation of many systems with only 12VDC and propane.
And since we are planning to home school later, many educational opportunities can be leveraged.
