RvSearch.com and look at a few more units. Ask on Rv.net about how good a certain manufacture is for full timing, and who might have one, if they recommend them to friends or only people they don't like anymore.
If you find a 10 year old Horizon RV, it is made for full timers, and probably will be in excellent shape even after 15 years of full time living in one. Others are not so well built. If you find a Horizons, look for a large truck to pull it, like a F-450 or F-550.
Before buying the truck, make sure the trailer weight will be compatible with the truck, or if you have one, you are limited by it's cargo rating. Many write here "I have a new 2500 Duramax rated to tow 14,000 pounds, however I can not find a fifth wheel that has less than 1,200 pounds on the pin, so I am WAY over my cargo rating if I take the wife and kids along." Many answers include get a dually. The highest weight rating for many years with single rear wheels was the 2005 and newer F-350. 2004 and earlier where only rated at 9,900 GVWR, while the diesel 4X4 crewcab weight was nearly 8,000 pounds, so towing capacity was very low, cargo rating dismal. Fine with the 460" gas engine, and regular cab, curb weight around 5,500 pounds and could carry 4,400 in the bed and cab.
One of the toy haulers that I found had dual 100 gallon fresh water tanks, and only a 60 gallon grey tank. This is fine if you are in a campground, or base housing campground. In the desert, most places it is fine to water the plants, if there are not any adjacent campers. Hoowever it is frowned on in National Parks, and will carry a stiff fine. This trailer also has washer dryer hookup, lots of storage, bunk beds in the back you can lower and then fill with cargo while moving from one base to another.
