I'm going to buy a 2015 Ford F150 with 3.5 eco boost and go full-time RVing, while towing a lightweight trailer of 30 ft. or so. I'm worried, though, that trailering in the boon docks will be too much for a light weight. What do you think?
Not at all. 99% of my rving/camping is done on gravel/wash boardy back country roads in my 30ft tongue to bumper trailer pulled with the F-150. No campgrounds/no hookups just pull over for totally free camping.
Long term needs extra water/propane and a means to dump although the use of a porta-potti takes care of the latter.I have two 25 gallon propane tanks that replace the two 7 lb bottles on the trailer and a 10 gallon I use strictly for my catalytic heater that requires know battery to run/I also have several water containers from 6 gallons to 50 gallons for the extra water and ofcourse generators (plural) for different needs of power and two extra batteries I use on an inverter separate of the trailer batteries.
Long term boondocking takes two trips/one with the travel trailer and the other with the ATV trailer loaded with the Rhino and all the extra water/gas and propane and sometimes a small freezer for really long stays without having to go to town for a long time.
I can easily go a month without ever needing to go back to town and then it's only to pay bills then return. My job required long stays off the grid far from a town or store for long periods of time. I loved it then and love it now.
