It seems the F250's are just a little bigger than the F150's these days... I think it depends on what you get 6-8 years from now. The F350 with duallys would be a great truck to have. I know you probably want a fifth wheel but the large TRUCK CAMPERS almost have the same amount of room a fifth wheel has You might fall in love with one of those... These are the large truck campers that has the entry door on the rear side...
The problem with the really big rigs is gas mileage and upkeep and where can you park one or stop for fuel... Can't be alot of fun man-handling the real big 40-foot plus rigs... I don't think there will be much slack time as far as keeping the big rigs up to par... Be prepared for that...
As for me I am over the hill now so it will be my off-road camper for here on out haha...
For what ever its worth WE can still drive through a McDonalds and order from the window with our setup. We have 90% of what you have appliances wise - just a tad short on floor space hehe... Well a lot short as it is. This makes us live more on the outside then the inside I reckon. The inside is for sleeping more or less... I have almost ZERO maintenance for all of this good stuff...
