My Plans Have Been Wrecked

Sorry to hear about the accident, glad you did not sustain any substantial injuries. You can certainly go with a class A or C if that works for you, one thing to note is that a 350/3500 truck is not required to pull most travel trailers. In our couple of decades of RVing it's been rare to see a travel trailer being towed by a 1 ton truck, although we've seen a couple here or there from time to time. We need a truck for other reasons and don't see a future where we will ever get a motorized RV, that is just us, you need to find out what works best for your situation.

Some would say that a TT is not suited for full-timing, and that has some truth to it particularly with older TTs, but recent model TTs are flat, single level copies of their fifth wheel counterparts albeit without as much available storage. Many can be pulled with newer model 1/2 ton trucks that are equipped with the proper motor/tranny combination. Plenty of off-roading is available in the western states, NM is next door and opportunities for such activities are endless. We prefer boondocking and dry camping and do most of our RVing in the four corner states where we bring our ATVs along with us for exploring the area.
