This is great feedback everyone, thanks to all who posted - i consider this input invaluable and I'm pretty sure that I will adjust my plan.
With regards to the Regular Cab vs Super Cab, I currently have a super cab and love that configuration. Here's my thinking on considering a regular cab. I'm not a full-timer. I drive my rig on the weekends with round trips being approx 250 miles. This truck is only used as my RV rig as i have a small car for getting around town. Based on these already established and continuing usage patterns, I was thinking that I could live with the regular cab. If i were a full timer or making long drives, I can see where the bigger cab really makes a difference... thoughts?
As for the engine, I've had both kinds and don't have anything against one or the other. Today, I live at elevation but I am moving next year to the great lakes area (for better fishing) so I'm thinking that a naturally aspirated engine will be ok at those altitudes. Staying in the Rockies, it would be a diesel without question.
Thanks again to the community as a whole!
