"You sound like me. Had a truck, bought a camper. Not enough truck so I bought a new truck. Then upgraded and bought a new camper, not enough truck again. Bought a new truck. Upgraded the camper again, not enough truck all over again. Now I'm searching for a new truck. I told my better half that this is it. Love it, Like it or hate it. We're done going down this spiral. When I get a new truck, that will be it barring a catastrophe of some sort. We did everything back asswords and have payed dearly because of it."

And this is why newbies should come to this forum before buying anything! A lot buy a half ton then come asking what camper; or they buy a heavy camper asking what half ton they should get. Many don't want to hear us recommend a one ton for a TT because WE know they will be upgrading after a year or two.

I agree with you but in my defense, I didn't know this forum existed before I bought my first RV (Travel Trailer). Then we decided to snowbird so I bought a 5th Wheel and needed a 1 ton truck. After doing that, we learned we needed a different 5th Wheel floor plan to make living in an RV better. Found what we liked and although our 1 ton pulls it fine, it's a gas engine. I'm looking for a new truck that's a diesel. So my point is we had no idea we would be going South in the winter when we started RVing. At the time, we just wanted to go on weekend jaunts. So part of what we did was because we were ignorant and part was because our life plans changed.
