Light weight TTs: how do they hold up when boondocking?

I'm going to buy a 2015 Ford F150 with 3.5 eco boost and go full-time RVing, while towing a lightweight trailer of 30 ft. or so. I'm worried, though, that trailering in the boon docks will be too much...

If you are going with the 150, make sure you do wait for the 2015.
Ford is using composite body and reinforced frame. It should have a higher payload rating. As a matter of fact its payload will be close to the 3/4 ton Chevy and Dodge. Also, if you are going to do off the grid camping I would recommend to stay closer to 26' trailer.
