Here is one of those questions towhich there is no right answer. But the question was asked in a way that each of us can answer without reflecting negatively on the answers others give.

So in the interest of adding to the complete picture, my answer: We are not, and never will become, full timers. We like to take long trips with many stops. We prefer state parks and natural settings. We prefer to have a 3/4 ton pickup for other use as well as towing. So there is a limit to how big we want to go.

For example, we had the 2955 Montana, and felt it was an ideal size for us. We pulled it for five years and over 50,000 miles, spent 297 nights in it. When we traded we still felt good about the Montana. We did move up a couple of feet in length when we found a floor plan that we really liked (SOB), but were able to stay under 34' overall.

Just for the record!
