Just Grandma and Me---Does C make Sense?
Had a couple truck slide-in's and a 30 ft. fifth wheel. Then got old with arthritis and stopped camping for awhile. Now got the urge to take some 'casual' road trips again, staying at campgrounds as...

I didn't think much about a C until after we found the TT I mentioned. Rockhill and C21's post pretty much sum up why I started thinking in that direction. I know my 1/2T is marginal with a tow rating of 7100, but should be sufficient for the light weight TT we found. Replacing the truck AND buying the TT is not in the cards at our age and amount of use it will see.
I favor Ford and the V10 with a cost under $20M if we go the C route. Not too concerned about load capacities as it's just us and enough toys to keep us happy on a trip, but will definitely consider CCC. I like the idea of conveniently towing a 3200# pontoon once a year for a vacation. Need to check this out. Don't see us towing a toad. Don't see us driving an additional car except for convenience on short trips.
We like CofE and state campgrounds and don't remember being told "too big" when we had the fifth wheel, but will look again if we decide on a 30' C. I'm pretty sure we can manage in a 25-27' (preferably w/slide). Problem is we aren't seeing many and prices seem to be at a premium when we do. Looks like I need to research insurance costs as well.
Thanks for the feed back. The search continues.
