I get what your husband has in mind on the TT vs 5er debate, but I also think that 30' and up is long for a TT but not so much for a 5er with the front over the truck bed. This may keep you out of some nice back-in sites with the woods behind you and force you to use pull-through sites, depending on where you go. If you're going to be stationary and live in the trailer on your land this is a non-issue of course, and perhaps a Park Model could be your home until you build.

Im pretty sure they don't leave it uninsulated or anything. worst case scenario its 20-40lbs of extra propane a month. ($15-35)

Most take almost no space (the cubic wood stoves can even be mounted on a wall), can kick out some real heat (especially those with gassifier features), and fuel is readily available as well as can be obtained for almost free depending on planning and/or camping/boondocking preferences.

And toxicity to you in your home and immediate neighbors more so than general pollution issues.
Do what you like, I love woodfires myself too, just pointing out downsides IMO worth investigating before jumping in.
