We lived full time in a 41' diesel motorhome. But we were mobile. With my DH's health issues we had to stay in warm weather all the time. He could not be in the cold. You don't say where you are going to be living. Weather issues could be a problem. Even coaches that are for all climates really aren't. Ours was supposed to be, but air infiltrated around the slides, windows, etc. In the winter you will have trouble with freezing pipes with sustained temps under freezing. Some people enclose their rigs with straw bales, etc. Full time living in a stationary spot makes more sense in a climate that is more mild, especially if you have pets, that can easily die from overheat in an RV that cannot stay cool enough. If there are other alternatives, like a regular mobile home would be better. One that is built to live in full time. We enjoyed our 15 years on the road, but we were retired and moved if the temps didn't cooperate. Renting an apartment would be a better solution. YOu will have constant upkeep and likely problems as RV's require due diligence to maintain.
