That truck may be a bit larger than necessary to tow a 30" (30 inch) trailer. You might want to consider a slightly larger 5th wheel for full time as that one won't even have room for the booze! :B
I'll disagree. Better to have TOO MUCH TV than not enough. Also, make sure your TV has the optional heavy duty trailer tow package.
Finding campsites ANYWHERE in southern Florida before April will be a challenge.
TT/5ers are NOT built as well as most yachts. A couple of times a year you need to climb up on the roof, inspect to cracks/tears, wash it and spray it with a UV protectant like 303. Watch for leaks around windows as well a wet floors (roof leaks that travel down the inside of the sire walls).
Also every time you stop on the road, do a quick check of the hubs. They can be warm, not HOT and no funny smells around the wheels. Check tire pressures every morning when traveling.
Get a electrical surge protector and probably a water pressure regulator. Decide up front if you are going to boondock or not. If yes, you either need a generator or a decent "house bank" of batteries and a good inverter.
