Note: This is a personal blog, and the only use of any of this is for me to go, "huh, Cool." on the rare occasion I think to go look at any of this stuff and realize that (based on the analytics) about 3 people per month still care what the internal dimensions of a 10 year old MINI Cooper S Clubman are...

I would love to RV full time… Funny, I always think the opposite as far as that is rather have a trailers and truck separate. My thinking is that is the trick is in the shop, my house is still available to me…
I know the owners of Transwest. Too bad they don't give deals.
I have to admit I've been thinking about this too — I still want a patch of land to grow things on, though. I'm too much of a Hobbit.
My family just took theirs up to Alaska. They love it !!
+Laura Klein Stephens That's a tough call, and that's a pretty good reason to go with a "towed home". On the flip side, GoodSam offers and Extended Service Plan that is effectively "Breakdown Insurance". It covers a metric ton of items on the coach…

…and includes $100/day toward lodging and $60/day toward rental car if you're more than 100 miles from "home".
The secondary reason we're not super interested in a 5th wheel is the realization that we don't want to tour the country in a truck. I have yet to ride in or drive a truck that feels anything like the comfort (and driving position) of a car. Trucks are built for work, and any comforts they add (plush leather seats, bluetooth, upgraded speakers, etc.) are still just tacked on to the "work truck" ethic and underpinnings.
Our side business (which would become our primary business if we hit the road) is mostly tied to urban areas. If we're going to tour in a truck we might as well keep a fun, high MPG car like the MINI, and couchsurf and AirBnB it up.

The EarthBox sounds like a good fit. http://rvtravel.com/publish/gardeningonthego.shtml
Depending on what you wanted to grow, you could probably have 4 growing seasons…
* Travel north in the late Winter,
* Plant,
* Stick around for 90ish days,
* Harvest,
* Move to a new location.
* Plant/wait/harvest
* Drive back south, and repeat.
