After giving consideration to my age, and how long I might use/do RV travel, we decided to go with a new engine Ford has to offer. The cost is 15k with a 3 yr unlimited milage. Even though the truck is an 04', has always been garaged, etc, it's in good condition. It's always hard to make a decision of this magnitude with a 10 year old vehicle. Thanks very much for your thoughts and suggestions and I pray none of you have to go through this, especially 2,000 miles away from home base. Take care.
