I am thinking that you would need to double your budget to get a dependable rig. Personally I would stay away from Diesel powered truck in your situation. Diesels are wonderful but service is not always available or up to par at some dealers. With gasoline service will be available every where.
As others have said a class c would probably be a better choice. They would be easier to find than a truck n trailer set up. A class c would also allow you to stick closer to your budget.
Hi I'd definitely be interested in getting an idea of at what age/mileage it's thought that dependability for a truck (say an F350) and 5th wheel comes into play. It seems that a 10 year old well maintained 5th wheel and an F350 with under 150k should probably still be reasonably dependable - and fixable. Happy to hear other opinions though!
