Again, thanks for the replies. The 5er will not sit 100% of the time so the TV is a must. We also plan to travel and taking the "house" along was what has drawn us to the 5th wheel. A little back story here, we started looking at a 16' Coleman to travel with so we could take weekend camping trips within the southeast. Once on the Camping World lot, the wife looked at her first fifth wheel and was hooked which set all of this in motion. We've always talked about relocating to Florida and with an RV, we can relocate without the expense of having to worry about "what if" when Mother Nature decides to send a major storm to the area. With the fifth wheel, we pack up and go if evacuated.
So back to the TV, I am ok with the Ram 3500 but if I decide to go up from there, I would switch to the F450. I don't want to spend the extra money for the larger trucks when it will be somewhat of a weekly driver, not so much of a daily driver. And having the extra feature of the "pucks" in the 2013 and newer Dodge 3500 as well as certain Ford F450's appeals to me as it would allow me to use the truck bed without the hitch in the bed and not having to worry about damaging the rails in the bed. Again, we have just started looking so buying is almost 6 months away but it never hurts to get a jump start on research. I am pretty much sold on the Ram 3500 so the only thing that may change my mind is if I find an inexpensive F450 with low miles. But hey, there's always room to hope, right??
