Start at the beginning of this one. A few of us have used this in the decision making of what we wanted.

My retirement camper will look like this...so I can take a boat with me and basically be able to set up anywhere/anytime.

Appreciate it @giles !
16 pages,,, geez!
Well it definitely appears many of you are experts on the topic.
I'll venture through it and see what I'll learn, thanks!
Typical TOO thread. It has some good content, good laughs, some derailed content. Worth checking out. I know a few of us have used this while looking for campers.
Well, I made it through all of it and yeah,,, I have to agree, it's good one!
@5Cent , you definitely shared some excellent info along with a few others.
That outfit you have @giles is real nice.
We're going to look at another camper tonight and some more tomorrow.
As far as my pickup goes, it was originally configured for hauling and I've hauled for years a big tandem axle trailer w/ power brakes with heavy equipment on it, a pair of 60" zero-turn mowers w/ additional lawn-care equipment, hauled all kinds of stone, mulch, wood/trees/logs, etc, etc...
It's got the biggest transmission in it for that time, heavy duty brakes, power brake unit, E rated tires, extra leaf springs & heavy duty shocks.
I've hauled some serious weight behind it and perhaps more than what I should've at times.
I also installed a 'Power Edge' computer unit years ago that allows me to change the truck setup for tow, which gives me another 100 plus more horsepower and another 200 ft.lbs. of torque to the rear wheels.
So I have no real concerns in that department and I'm not necessarily looking to put the biggest camper behind it.
I'll share this though, a new truck will most likely be my next big purchase after this. Maybe next year sometime.
