PU Truck - which model?
I am not a motorhead and towing is large trailer is going to be new to me. I am planning on buying a 5th wheel about 32-34 feet long. It looks like the hitch weight could be in the 1400 - 1600 pound...

I just figured that this was typical. We have not done any serious looking yet as this RV idea just cropped up about a week ago or so.
Do to age and the admiral wanting to settle down 'somewhere', this idea has come up. We are going to list our boat in a few weeks.
Here is our plan: We are currently on the Tennessee River in NW Alabama. Our 'home port' is Dallas, Tx. but thinking of Galveston Bay area.
We are going to list boat while at the same time plan on one final HooRah - The Great Loop. That is where we start heading to the Mississippi River, go south to Gulf of Mex., make a left and follow the coast to florida, make another left and go up the east coast. When I get to NY, go up the Hudson River and near Albany area, make another Left onto the Erie Barge Canal to the Great lakes and then down the Mississippi River to our starting point and sell the boat then.
If however, we sell the boat before the start of our trip next fall, we will immediately jump into RVing.
Old people, go figya.
