Hey, all...........I've been a long time "watcher" of this post, so finally taking the dive to chat. If you guys were a bunch of nuts I probably wouldn't want to post, so here's to your credibility!:)
Welcome to the Forum. We sure fooled you, or you are just as nuts as we are. :R

My new wife and I are really getting into the TCamping lifestyle, in fact we are thinking of retiring and full-timing. (Yes, we've thought a lot about this.) However, the old issue of space and storage is an issue with TC's, as you all know. We just bought a 2005 Host with a slide out, so it has lost of room inside, but storage is worse that when we had our 1992 Lance! So, we are thinking of upgrading to a FW! Please talk me out of this craziness!!! (And, no, my wife is not pushing me towards the FW.) I know it is all about how we want to spend our time and how we want to use the FW, but I love my TC!! (sigh) Any thoughts?
A lot to be said for a FW, and a lot to be said for a TC. Full-timing in a TC with two people can be tough even with enough storage. It is doable.
My suggestion is to take a closer look at what you want to store. I think most of us want to store just too much stuff. How many pots and pans do you really need, how much food do you store, do you need more than two week of cloths, how many coffee cups, how many plates, and how many books do you really need to store? Each of these are small individually, but as a group require lots of storage. If you take a close look at what you are storing, and why, I bet you can almost double your storage areas.
A laundry mat every two week can do clothes, and a grocery store every two weeks can store lots of food. The type of clothes you store can also make a big difference.
