Selling the house and going fulltime was a good decision for us. We've been doing it 10 years now. We have a MS 38RL3 & we love it. It and a few other brands are good fulltimer trailers. Teton, Travel Supreme, come quickly to mind. With the MS you get a lot more bang for the buck. The only thing I will say in a negative vein is that if after a year or 2 you decide you don't like it you will lose a lot of money in depriciation on any new trailer. As for a tow vehicle, just make sure you get enough truck. All the fulltimer trailers are heavy. Think at least 19K pounds with a pin weight of 4K pounds. A used HDT will give you the most truck for the money, but they are not for everybody. What ever trailer you get, if you buy new, get disc brakes and the biggest, heaviest tires you can get. I'm a firm believer in air hitches.
