If you like it and if it will fit your needs, go for it. Everyone is different, so just enjoy, its just a place to sleep and not a life long commitment. You can always change to something different if you want.

I would not have anything smaller than a 36TK3. The extra 4 feet will make lots of difference. I live in my 38RL3 6 months out of the year (winter) and at times it gets pretty small just with wife and I.

We're going to be in it full time. I'm a combo welder and we travel all over the USA. Got sick and tired of hotels.

The 32TK3 is a nice unit for sure. If you do a side by side comparison (or at the min go see) with a 36, you will be able to figure it out pretty quick how you can manage full time. You mention "Mighty Small" in your initial evaluation, imagin how small it will become down the road.

There are several things that come to mind about the 32 to consider for full time use. Smaller storage bay, only one recliner chair, less overall interior storage, and less wt loading capacity.

You will have to consider a tow vehicle to handle a larger unit, so that may drive you to a smaller one that a pickup can handle, not sure what you have now.

Good luck in your search!

I have a 05 GMC 3500 dually, diesel. Only reason I have a truck like this is to pull rv although I use it as my only ride. Wife has her Civic. We're already committed to buying this unit and I probably should just accept it. DW loves the unit and she'll be in a lot more than I will. I generally work 6-7 days a week. Only between shutdowns am I in rv much. I'm just concerned she will regret getting a 33" later. Reckon I shouldn't asked if anyone is happy in a 33" rv full timing.

In our travels we have come in contact with a lot of full timers in smaller unit Than a 32' who were very happy and didn't want anything larger.
We are not full timers and have a 36'

Well congrates on the new unit! Since you have already pulled the trigger, and have a truck to pull it, then load it up and head on out! I'm sure you can make it home. You will work through the differences in size and like others have mentioned, some folks are very happy in smaller RV's.

Enjoy!

The 32' is actually 33'8" long anyway. If you want 2 recliners you can use a Lane or LazyBoy recliner that looks like a rocker....but it has narrower arms than the recliners in the Suite. The differences in a 32 and 36 TK is a queen size bed, no laundry hamper in the dresser, the dining slide is approx 18" shorter in lenght, the kitchen doesn't have the drawers to the right of the sink. But if you walk in and there are two recliners you don't even think about it being smaller than a 36' because the 3'3" is taken throughout the unit. I know several people who fulltime in a 32', but they're not on the forums.
Safe travels!

Went to do walk through/check out coach today. Technician said battery was so hot it would burn you. Changed out battery and lost all power to coach. Said inverter is bad and ordered new one. We'll be going back tomorrow. Not starting out to good.

Inverter or Converter? The converter is an easy fix. I've seen them go out at RV show's on brand new units. It's usually because of too low amps coming into the unit....which is the norm at a show.

It was the inverter.

DW and I are in our Mobile Suites now. DW hasn't hardly stopped singing. She does this when happy. Adjusting very well to size. Really impressed with quality of MS. It is actually better quality than the apartment were were staying in here (Houston). Thanks everyone for your help. God bless.
