Could anyone attempt this? Pros & Cons, benefits, reasons for and against, likes/dislikes, or really anything whatsoever. For ease of comparison, let's say they both would be pulled by the same 5 yr old 3/4 ton RAM Cummins diesel with usual necessary tow items/packages. Price wise they are in same ballpark I believe. http://northwoodmfg.com/arctic-fox-2/arctic-fox-27-5l/

Thanks all for the positive heartwarming comments and wishes. I should have said up front that I am a vampire. No sorry , that is not correct. I meant to say that it is the bigger Elite II with twin beds that I would want if I went that way. My first decision is if I want to go motorhome or travel trailer. That is a hard and big decision. I must say that I truly love simple and smallest I can feel comfy in. The less hassle the better for me. I am thinking that I will be setting up camp at an own your own lot RV park in AZ in winter for 7+ months a year and traveling throughout NE for most of a long summer. I might want to go to Alaska one summer. I am thinking too that I may want to buy a small lot in an Oregon RV Park as well and just have a semi-permanent place to spend part of summer if I dont want to move around much some years. I have spent a couple hours learning about tow weights and tow vehicles you all have discussed on here which is very clear to me now. I would definitely go p/u truck, most likely a low mileage used RAM cummins or competitors diesel for best mpg. The new Ford gas engines sound nice though also. I am not a p/u guy so dont have a preference really. I would have to learn the nuances of a tt and p/u configuration and the parking and hook up procedures for a person all alone, just like I would have to learn how to drive, park, and set up a 30' motorhome. I am supposing that if you are simply spending the night somewhere that there is no reason one would need to disconnect your truck from tt. No I have not seen an Oliver in person yet. Am looking forward to it though. Hopefully there is one just north of or near San Diego

Hi all. This is my first post here, so will start with something basic. I'm selling my home and ridding my life of most everything. 70 yrs old now and am the last of my kind. Only me and my 7 yr old mini-daschund. Been think mainly small motorhome under 30', but like what I see in the small twin bed Oliver model. Love the modern style and shape. I find the interiors of the small motorhomes rather boring and cheap looking in many ways. Boring, like if you seen one you've seen them all. The point can one be happy living out their remaining years moving about in one? Anyone else here downsized to making one of their home? And can one be equipped with enough of a modern solar/battery/inverter system to make one almost fully electric for a lot of boondocking? If not, how close could one come? With my home sold I will have enough to buy new vehicle/rv and a lot or two to stay for some longer periods in different parts of country, like maybe AZ and Oregon. I do want to do summer traveling which I suspect would include much isolated/wilderness boondocking. Any and all input, suggestions, and opinions welcomed.
