All ActivityMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsRe: Best 5ER for full timer?I am reading that they (park models) are not built for full-time living. I will do some more searching on that. I do like them! I will be living in my RV full time. I have only just begun researching full-time RV living. One of my clients purchased a brand new 5er and had some issues with it. They live in theirs full-time in a park in Manteca that sports a swimming pool, golf course, restaurant and convenience store. There are a number of parks here in the Central Valley that make the majority of their money from full-timers, and that has been my consideration from the start. I have another client that owns ten acres. There are hook-ups for at least three RVs there and she has graciously offered one of her spots to me. I have read that Tubular chassis with cross members less than 18" is the best (better) build, but when I go to sites no one even mentions the chassis. Freightliner and Lippert seem to be the big builders, but then I just read that Northwood builds theirs. Maybe it is truly a Lippert or Freightliner that has been modified? So many questions on my part!Re: Best 5ER for full timer?I have no tow vehicle. I plan to find a 5er and will pay someone to relocate my home. I can afford up to $40,000. My rig doesn't need to be brand new, just needs to last for a good long time. I live in California and I have been told that RV's are MUCH more expensive here than other states, so I am not adverse to finding one somewhere else and having it delivered.Best 5ER for full timer?I am divorcing, have no home, and absolutely love the idea of being able to take my "home" with me wherever I decide to relocate. I am getting close to 60, and have some back problems, and I really have no wish to work a yard or trying to keep clean a 1500 square foot home! I know this has been asked before, but for all you full-timers, what brand 5th wheel has served you best? Thanks in advance for all your sage advice!
