WHAT TO BUY

B B 15... we need more info about your F250. What year and does it have the "Camper Package"? Having pulled a 34' 5er with a 02 F250 PSD with the extra F350 rear spring that comes with the Camper Package... it's plenty of truck. I often gross over 26K with this truck pulling an equipment goose neck trailer... usually in OD with a 3.73 axle. If it does not have the extra single rear helper spring like on a F350 you could add air bags to up the CC of your truck as that's the only difference in those years. I run 265/75/16 load range G tires good for 3415 lbs on the rear. Buy more camper than you think you need, one time. There are plenty of weight police on here and next we will hear the BS about voiding your insurance.

Weight police lol, dang right they are out in FULL force here dang,

It's a 2001, the truck has trailer brakes, air bags already set up. Not sure about the camper package, how would I find out? I bought it used and didn't ask that as all I wanted it for was to tow a boat. It has mud tires right now, but that's for us going down on the beach and hanging out. If we do buy something more than likely the camper store will tow it and set it up for us. So really wasn't even asking for all the towing info though it's nice to read other people opinions, it's not nice to be attacked for even thinking about it lol.

It will be in one spot for a very long time, we aren't moving anytime soon that I know of and want a place over there.
We have switched from campers, to condos, to houses, to buying land and doing what we want, so who knows where we fall. We are looking at land as of today, very fluid to what we do.

I bought this truck to tow my new boat we have ordered, will be ready soon and have to goto FL to pick it up and bring it back. So wasn't even planning on buying a fifth wheel and even if we do, won't be much towing involved as of now.

Thanks you have been helpful
