My brain is about to explode! Me and my partner are going to buy a RV. I have a Ford F 350 Super Duty truck. We've decided to go with a Travel trailer. For the most part it will just be the 2 of us doing weekend/vacation travel. We are trying to find the right trailer, but there are just so many to choose from.
Our concerns are: Are some models easier to hitch and unhitch than others? Is this something two women will have much problem doing themselves?
We will for the most part travel just the two of us. I don't need a bunch of bunks, but I'd prefer some extra bathroom and kitchen space and comfortable seating .
We have a Harley we'd like to take a long. I see several different options for hauling motorcycles..what's the easiest and cheapest option?
Anyone have any recommendations or favorite brands you'd think would suit our needs? I had been looking at Keystone and Dutchmen? But seriously, we haven't got a clue in hell what we're doing. Any feedback would be appreciated.
May I suggest educating yourselves before even getting to a decision? Straight out of the box people saying fifth wheel, toyhauler, you got an F-350, it'll tow anything!
First thing to consider is your budget, as in how much do you want to spend on an RV? Yes you have a one ton truck, but it is possible to go "too big" on the RV. If you want to take your Harley along, a toyhauler would be the ideal way to do it. Keep in mind a fifth wheel toyhauler will run you more money than a travel trailer toyhauler.
Go to RV shows in your area. They are a good way to see product offerings and floorplans. Remember though, shows are also intended to sell product, so resist that urge until you have a good idea of what you want. I went to a lot of RV shows looking until I bought my first one (a fifth wheel) and now own a travel trailer because we just weren't using the fifth wheel like we envisioned; put another way, we had more trailer than we needed. But yeah, fifth wheel or bumper pull, you can do it! Happy hunting!
