Previous rig: $4500 for 28' 5th wheel and $2500 for Diesel F250. Cross country and full time for 6 months at a time for about 8-9yrs. Truck looked rough (lots of rust) but ran perfect. Trailer was in great condition and stayed that way until we decided to upsize a bit.
Current rig: $14000 for 34' 5th wheel and $6000 for V10 F250. Both look and operate well (truck has a little rust around rear wheel wells but I cleaned that up). Not so many miles yet but just picked up the 5th wheel this summer and spent most of the summer in it (life hasn't allowed for long trips this summer).
How much do you have to spend and what are your expectations?
