Newbie looking for some assistance
I'm a travel nurse as well as my girlfriend. We decided we want to buy an RV to live out of for the next year as we travel the country (including alaska) to work. We have a brand new F150 v6 Ecoboos...

She doesn't love the idea of being the full time driver of the truck. And we want to spend time together while driving. I have put quite a few miles on the bike already this year (25K) which included a 12,000 mile round trip ride from San Francisco to the Arctic Ocean.

We are planning to live/work in San Diego until April and then we are going to take our time driving up to Alaska and do some work in either Homer or Anchorage.
I'm headed tomorrow to look at V8 Ford F250 Super Duty with payload of 2506lbs (that's what the yellow sticker on the door stated)

What does your girlfriend think about driving a truck and trailer? You can ride the bike and you just freed up some payload. By taking your weight and the weight of the bike out of the truck you may have enough for a 5000 lb (wet weight, fully loaded) trailer. Might be cozy, but you get along well, right?
I have driven across Montana and through the Rockies with my motorcycle in a trailer and riding it. Riding it was much more fun.
As mentioned above a used truck may be a good idea given the size of trailers you are looking at. There are some good rigs out there that folks are letting go of due to milage and age, yet they still have a lot of pull left.
Good luck,
