By the way, I had a 25' travel trailer with no slides and a F-150. Then I bought an F-250. Then I bought a 28' fifth wheel with one slide. And then a 3500 single wheel truck. Then we had to have the bigger trailer and bought a 35' triple slide rolling house. Yep, it was after several trips and a few uncomfortable moments that I made my 3500 into a dual wheel truck. I won't go back to a single wheel. 2500 or 3500 with or without airbags, single wheels is single tires. I like having the stability and security of the dual wheels on each side.
Yeah, it cost some money to do those upgrades and we started with the first truck and trailer in 2002 and bought the last trailer in 2010. That's eight years and quite a few checks written to learn what we really wanted and then what we needed to tow it safely and comfortably.
Go big with your TV from the start and you will save money and frustration.
