Love the great replies from those who have experience. To answer some of the questions asked in previous posts...
- 6 would include 4 adults and 2 children. Normally it would just be myself, wife and 2 kids (ages 6 and 14). We want to be able to invite others along with us...would not ride in the vehicle but would stay in our trailer
- F250 is a bought and paid for 2014 Crew Cab short bed Diesel 4x4 Lariat
- I have not towed campers but I have towed my car trailer a lot...which is why I bought the truck to start with. Had I been thinking of buying a camper when I bought the truck...I might have gotten more truck.
- I would say the majority of our trips would be within 4 hours of our house...making weekend trips doable. We live in Harpers Ferry, WV. so we have plenty of places we can go that are not too far away.
- From what we have researched so far...I think if we bought a 5th Wheel it would have to be a variant of the bunk house type.
Additional question...is it possible to increase the towing capacity of the F250 by maybe adding some aftermarket components?
