What got my attention was 'full timing' and 'still working'... as we just did that for 5 months between houses/states. (and for 3 months playing 'snowbirds' the prior two years before biting off the move).
Just some things to think about - no right/wrong, just need to figure what works for you.

I work remotely... between phone and internet connection I can work from 'anywhere'. Some travel - but not 'full time'... Of the 5 months, I was probably traveling for about 40% of the time. Previous years travel was much less.
My 'office' was the front passengers seat. It was winter - and we were in Central FL (so nice weather!) in a 33 foot Hurricane with 2 slides.

For me - it worked fine... lol...
DW might have a different opinion as time went on.
On days where she had to be inside (weather, etc) - 33' became small quickly - hard to get away from my phone calls, etc. with only a sliding door to the bedroom to close.

I know she was glad to get out of the RV after 5 months... and for me to be back in an office with a solid door (still in the house).
The key was my 'working'... Had I been retired, I think longer would have worked and space wouldn't have been an issue.
The RV is now back to vacation usage.

I'm sure 23' wouldn't have worked for us -
Still have too much 'stuff' I 'need' to consider full timing... My workshop won't fit. lol... But of course it is what works for you where you are in your life.

Best of luck on the adventure - whatever you decide to get!
