We towed a 22' - 5,600# TT for 4 years with our F-150 SCab before switching to a 24' Class C. The main reason for the change was that we wanted to do some long {cross country}, trips without the hassles of pulling a trailer.
For us the change has been great. Just turn the key and go and being only 24' our C goes/fits just about anywhere with exactly the same amenities as our 22' TT. If you are 6' or less and the first number when you get on the scale is a "1" look for a Ford chassis and opt for the power drivers seat. It is infinitely adjustable but the Ford Chassis' cabs are a little tight for the larger folks.
After 33,000 miles the original shocks were just about shot so I replaced with the Bilstein heavy duties {per their recommendation as we often tow my motorcycle and run close to our GVWR most of the time}. The ride was always good but it got much better with the Bilstein's. Passing truck are simply not an issue and it remains drivable even high winds {35 + - not much fun but doable}.
