LOL, well hopefully we would not take that much with us, the most would be clothes and such, no kayaks or bikes.
That woman is lucky I love her. Two trucks for one, just kinda hurts.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that if you have a few kids along for the excursion, some of them can bunk in a tent. Usually, they like that (away from Mom and Dad) and are off from under foot in the RV.
Take your time truck shopping, as was mentioned. The price difference between 3/4 and 1 ton is getting closer but you also have to factor in licensing and insurance. In my State, 1 ton falls under commercial plates and that gets you cheaper renewal for the first few years but more expensive after that. Also, with commercial plates, you fall under DOT regulations with inspection and the safety equipment having to be carried and DOT driver's licensing. Just some things to check in your State.
