Getting Divorced and potentially moving into a TT or RV. Need advice

I need advice from some reddit experts. I am getting divorced and will be selling my home. I cannot afford to buy a new house, nor can I rent affordably since I have two cats and two dogs. I am looking at getting either an RV or a toy hauler travel trailer. Whatever I choose would be set up in one space for long periods of time unless I move for work, which is usually every few years. I currently own a Ford F150. Below are some pros and cons I have come up with for each, but y'all can tell me the reality of some of this!

RV:

Pros: Will not need to move animals around when moving locations, set up more for living in full time

Cons: would need to be able to haul my truck/a small trailer, working on is expensive, fuel mileage sucks

TT/Toy Hauler

Pros: do not have to worry about fuel/motor on another vehicle, can store my bikes/kayak inside in the storage area

Cons: weight limit and length restriction for tow vehicle

I don't know the exact length of trailer I am looking for yet, but I want something that gives the animals, especially the cats, space, and has a slide out or two. I have taken the cats on leashed walks before, so that isn't new to them, and the dogs spend most of the time outdoors with me when I am not at work. I am also very handy and have driven large trucks and trailers through every manner of traffic, city, or part of the country you can imagine.

Please give me suggestions on 4 season RVs or TTs and what I should be looking for. Current location is the Eastern Shore of MD, so not super cold winters, but can get a lot of snow, as last year showed us!

Building Projects in a Humid Climate

I am wanting to start back up into woodworking after being out of the game since high school. I have a couple of machines and everything I need to get started, but I'm worried about moisture and storage. All of the shops I've used previously have been inside in climate controlled areas, or in an insulated shed. My current set up is an uninsulated garage that has a few leaks where the floor gets wet, and the humidity makes the walls and ceiling sweat. I'm worried about how to store my wood while I am working on projects so that the wood doesn't warp or the project doesn't get ruined. Any suggestions?

My current thought is plastic tarping up with a dehumidifier in the area to keep moisture from the air, but I'm not sure how well that will work.
