Wow. I logged in this morning and am surprised at all the feedback. Thank you all.
For starters, I have access to a scale here at work and will do as many of you have suggested and load up and weigh it with the family and "stuff".
I do want to keep from being at the upper limits of what the truck can handle. In the back of my mind I have been thinking 25'-28' with a gross weight of about 6k-7k as some have mentioned. I'm thinking I might visit one of the local businesses that rent RV's and try to find one to rent close to what I'm looking for. Hopefully I can get an idea how the truck will perform from there.
I did have a F250 prior to purchasing the F150. problem was, it was an 2006 F250 with the 6.0 diesel. Need I say more... problem after problem
Anyway I guess it's time to revisit other threads to determine what TT mfgs to start looking at.
Thanks again to everyone for all the help!
