... snipped ... buy used combo truck and camper. A one ton with a good solid, serviceable camper
Totally agree ... that's what we did (a 3/4 ton though) and it's worked out great for us. We bought our setup separately as getting the right (multi-purpose use) truck was a priority for us. We spent CDN $37,000 for the two ($20k for the truck and $17k for the TC) with another $3,000 in post purchase upgrades. About 1/3 the price had we bought both units new.
There are some good deals out there from people who are selling their well maintained truck/TC setup as a combo set. If you can't find a used combo already put together, follow the advice of getting the TC you want first, then match the truck accordingly. I did this in reverse order and was limited in the size/weight of TC we could then purchase based on our truck's carrying/towing limits. Good Luck.
