Anyone Done Extended (year or two) in a TM?

We have admired the Trailmanor for many years yet not had one. We have had 3 soft-sided pop-ups, 2 motorhomes, a 24 foot Lt TT and now a fifth-wheel. We find size very limiting and the fifth-wheel is just cumbersome and dull with lots of wasted space that hauling around with the cost of gas and tow vehicles does take away from the whole experience. We like "camping" not hibernating inside and RV. We would be doing an extended stay for a year or two anyway. Has anyone done this? We aren't real "thing" oriented and we gave away the microwave a few months ago because it didn't earn its space, big space too. All units have their good & bad points. We would tow with a large van which we carry a cooler and porta-potty so that would overcome not having access to the trailer while on the road. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Cathy
