Now retired: Pulling a camper, or, driving a motorhome????

I don't think a pickup is a bad idea, but I know for my dad, he was unable to pull himself up, and like you with the cadillac, having to get low to the ground was difficult. And he only had the one "automobile", so he didn't have options as to what he could drive under what circumstances. If you have multiple autos, then that issue is likely moot.
