Full time rv and working. Any fiver recommendations?
Hello all, I've been full timing in my 2018 Aspen Trail 1930RDWE for 6 months now, not having a physical address is difficult, but the lifestyle is so rewarding. I've decided to make this permanent, so I'm looking for any recommendations for a 30' fiver with washer/dryer that would be suitable for winter living in Canada. Thank you all in advance for your advice!
Kyle

That's going to narrow down to a pretty small list, I think. 30' 5'ers with washer/dryer space is hard enough. Throw in a Canadian Winter and, well, it gets even harder.
A couple of the 30ish foot Arctic Fox and Outdoors RV floor plans have linen closets which may be a suitable place to stick a combo unit. Maybe.

Thanks for the info, I've been looking at the arctic fox 27-5, and I've already shoehorned a washer in my tt, so that might be the way I have to go with a new unit

I would suggest learning to get through winter where you are first. Freezing water and sewage lines inside and outside the RV can easily happen, causing big problems that will be difficult to deal with if the cold weather is raging outside.

Thanks for the advice, I did get insulated and heated water/sewage lines, insulated and heated skirting, window insulation, as well as electric and gas heating. The only thing I'm concerned about is refrigerator freeze up

My fridge was prepped for cold weather operation from the factory. It worked fine except for the days that never got out of the single digits, where the freezer warmed up a little, but still kept ice cubes frozen. I think the cold weather heating strip for the fridge only works when on shore power.

I sure wouldn't want to winter in Canada. I think it's a bad move.
