Lot of assumptions so I try to answer whatever I can.
-I live in the center of Bay Area, but in mountains on .6 acres of wooded land. Back in 1930's that property was vacation resort for people from Richmond. (freeways to Lake Tahoe did not exist, nor the tunnels)
-I think the campground I found on Duck Island is the best option in 300 miles radius. I don't want to stay on desert 150 miles from our friends and our favorite Sierra spots -200 miles away are closed for the season.
-It is not moving the camper to campground that is main problem as I can hold the truck for 3 weeks, but having confirmation for only 1 month, I might have to move the camper in February and that is big concern if I find truck buyer in January
-dualies have almost no demand in Bay Area. Not much of private business going on here that would want older Superduties, while trucks bought for recreation are mostly SRW crew cabs. Dealers offer me $4k for it, even BB gives it $9.3 trade-in value.
-6l is not the best engine to sell so I assume I might need all the time I can get to find private buyer for it.
-the whole idea of getting rid of old truck immediately after getting new one, or before is that we are waiting here just for new truck. Once I set camper on new truck, we are targeting Florida with +- 3 months to get there.
Make it BIG + and -
I am 62 coming from long-living family, so should not have a problem to spend next 20-30 years on traveling, meaning I can't plan on blowing money "the house made" in next 10 years.
