I've been part-time vandwelling for the past year. I started full time around six months ago. Middle of January we had an issue with our Toyota Sienna that resulted in an RV Purchase. I'll be full timing in the a 2017 Pleasure Way XLMB now. It's been about two months so far. I absolutely LOVE it - but, if you want to read about some of the hiccups in this fella I've written about them here:

I lived in a forty foot Diesel Pusher about six years ago. I stayed in that fella for about a year. Everyone's experience is their own but I absolutely love having the smaller RV. These things are built very well - I believe the hype surrounding their build quality mentioned in their marketing videos is pretty accurate. The wood work in here is impressive.
