Newbie question: What SUV/truck - based on desired RV

While this is your first one, and it's not really "lite", but more mid size, I would imagine you could do it with a heavy duty 1/2 ton, but I bet you would feel better with a 3/4 ton truck.

Having a little extra truck to start out with gives you some wiggle room when you decide that the first RV can be upgraded, and there is room for different options.

You might decide that towing isn't working out the way you wanted, and instead put a light truck camper onto it.
