On the advice to buy the biggest truck you can afford, think of it this way: It's one thing to load up and head to the local campground for some sun and fun on Friday afternoon. It's a whole other thing to load up and hit the road for months/years/forever. With one you can get away with a barely adequate truck to haul the camper because you're not going far and not doing it very often. With the other you will quickly get sick of a barely adequate truck, if the barely adequate truck doesn't get sick of you first. You can pretty much figure out which goes where.
