Switched gears and started looking for full size queen in addition to vaulted ceilings. I think I have fallen in love with the Laredo 299BH. Might be pushin the F150 ecoboost but I should be within payload and tow ratings.
Forget about tow rating, you'll run out of payload before you get there.
Check your payload very closely. You're looking at an RV that advertises sleeping capacity for ten people. That indicates you will have passengers and cargo in your tow vehicle. The weight of those passengers and cargo, count against your payload. You'll need at least 1200 lbs left over, just to be at max weight with that trailer.
Not all F150's are created equal. There are versions with payload as low as 750 lbs, some with 3200 lbs, and several variations in between.
Towing near (or over) your max on any rating, can be quite unpleasant.
