Think I messed up
My wife and I finally decided to take the plunge and buy an RV. We visited a local major RV dealership, and the first question asked was what am I using as a TV. We had just purchased a 2012 F150 FX4 ...

My "SURE YOU CAN TOW THIS UNIT" still sits in my CAMP BACK YARD.
We went for the FLAGSTAFF 28-foot 5th wheel RESS8528 and had the 2004 F150 truck back then with 3:73 gears.
Got it home just fine and made a couple of short trips with no problem. Heading down I81 on a Gatlinburg trip got as far as the second long grade hills and found out it wasn't for us coming down on the other side of mtn roads.
Didn't have a good control feeling for sure. Turned around at the next exit and headed back for the house.
It makes a great second house situation for us - visiting grandkids love it...
Made a couple of close by trips to local state parks. Maybe have around 400 miles on since 2008... We got the OFF-ROAD POPUP TRAILER after that and have pulled it all over the southern states and as far west as OKLA and TEXAS...
Always though we would trade up with the truck but ended getting the same size newer truck after a few years.
I didn't even add the 5th wheel hitch in the newer truck bed.
Just can't go with what the RV SALES bunch says...
