In this particular case..I am going to toss somethng intersting into the mix.
If YOU HAVE THE ROOM........Where you park, or plan on Full timing ..You would do well to Seriously Think about a MD Medium Duty, or HD Heavy duty. Class 7..
Why in the world Would I suggest this , for your First Rig?????
Let me tell you.
I stop into the Dealers on a occasional period, and NEW Dually Diesels, all big three Are running..$50.000.00 to $60.000.00
Now, you need to go to the MD, HD Forums, some are on RV net I believe.,, but HD Forums are ou t there ..
and chat with the Guys.
You can get a Good Used Freightliner, Volvo , with 750,000 miles give or take...for some where around $20,000.00 to $30,000.00
about half the price of a New Big Three Dually.:W
The Forums will point you the way..there is a Great shop, that will help you find a Good used class 8, convert it to a class 7 Tandem axle to single axle.
Maybe a couple renewed AIR RIDE seats, some other stuff..you hav e WAY MORE truck, with a Margin of safety.
NOW this might not be the way FOR YOU...but Please do yourself a Favor, and think about it. I Personally Know 2 couples who went this way They Love it.:B
If that is the route that works best then one should go that way. I can tell you a big reason there are so many used MDT's out there is because the owners are tired of such a big rig and more expensive maintenance/repairs. I know some will disagree with me but I have talked to several that have gone to 350/3500 truck since the newer trucks are so much more capable then before.
