We don't full-time but we do spend 3-5 months every year in our RV (first a 27' Alpenlite 5th wheel and now our TM2619) and my answer to your question would depend on the % of time you'll spend on the road versus the time you'll be set-up in one place. The advantages of a TM while actually being used are greatest for maneuvering in tight places, frequent movement and highway travel. They diminish rapidly with extended stays. The fact that we can fold it up and put it in our garage when we return home is also a significant consideration.

While the TM remains our first choice for our current lifestyle it would be near the bottom as our only home (just above a stolen grocery cart :-)). The small fridge, lack of storage and "different" bathroom configuration are not things I would want to live with permantly. there is a place for big 5th-wheels and IMO full timing is one of them. That's just my $0.02 so YMMV.
