You don’t need years to research but you do need a knowledgable friend to help you inspect a used any RV before purchase, and you need an adequate truck to carry the load. Rush and proceed without experienced help will waste your money. What is the total amount of funds you have available?
Ideally, we want to spend $15k between a truck & a camper. We want an all-season camper. We don't know about trucks to know what we need.
We've heard that F150s are excellent. Ideally, we want a setup where we can get more than 11 mpg.
Are there any particular trucks you recommend? We heard that diesel gets better mpg but that the cost of maintenance is so high that you might as well go with gas.
You will only find only the smallest of truck campers, that will work with a 1/2 ton truck. Using a 1/2 ton truck for carrying a truck camper to live full time in, isn't realistic.
Neither is 11mpg nor all season. All season truck campers weigh a lot and will require a minimum of a 3/4 ton.
With only a 15k budget, you need to do more research before jumping into this.
