Never ever consider 2500 variant if your towing a fiver. Just not enough capacity. A 3500 series truck may in fact be cheaper to buy used. If you think the life style might be right for you get a 3500 find what you like in a used trailer and go. If your prudent shopper you might end up zero sum I'd you trade within a year to a larger unit. Our last fiver ended up as our last fiver. 10 years and we're still pleased with the floor plan. We're not full timers but do spend a month at a time out. Personally 36 feet is about right for two adults and our 85 pound rescue. But if DW was no longer around I would not go smaller.
