    I've had good luck with Montana for all-weather 5th wheel RV's. You can get them with a heavy suspension and tires for taking them into the off-the-beaten path areas, and the one's my family has had were well insulated and designed for year-round use.

    Remember not to fire off any large caliber handguns while in the vehicle.

    I've owned a class-C type motor home for a few years and really enjoyed it. For full-time use go for a 5th wheel type, this will allow you to park the trailer and use the vehicle to get around and run errands and stuff, plus, it's easier to move around a 5th wheel compared to a travel trailer.

    Mostly, they have one bedroom and the kitchen table/dining area converts into a bed/sleeping quarters.


    If you're going to live in it full-time, I suggest you get the biggest rig you can afford.

    I suggest you join some RV forums and do some reading to find out which brand rig would best suit you.

    Oh....and start saving up your gas money.
