Full Timing

[doglover44]

Hi im Jake I am 21 interested in being a full time any advice on getting started ? I dont want a motorized rv I am stuck between a travel trailer or a 5th wheel what are the pros and cons of each ?

There are many definitions of full-timing, but I'm guessing that you dont plan to travel, except when changing jobs, and that shouldnt be that often. A TT will likely be cheaper, or newer, lighter, and likely will need less truck/TV.

My other suggestion is to evaluate your situation carefully, establish a verified budget, and read all the rv forums you can.

As Rick said, step back and evaluate your budget and what you will do with your RV. Best bang for the buck is the 5er, easier to pull, easier to back up, etc.

We've owned three in the past.

Not a lot of info to go on. What's your budget for the rig? Do you own a tow vehicle? If so the towing capacity of it will determine the size/weight of what you'll be able to buy. Are you single? If so, a smaller rig will be usable.

Where are you planning on fulltiming? Weather does play an important part - keeping an RV warm in northern states is a real problem in the winter - not to mention the lack of RV Parks.

You really need to do a lot of reading and thinking before you just leap into something that sounds great.
