To TC'ers who have bought new trucks
I'm thinking.... ONLY in the thinking stage right now, of a new 2016 F-450 or F-550. They're awfully proud of those things. There's nothing what so ever wrong with mine, it hauls what I have fine...

I'm seriously jealous of the class 4/5 trucks you're talking about. I wanted to buy a class 5 C&C and add a truck camper body -- until I found out how my home jurisdiction of Ontario, Canada treats such rigs. A CDL is bad enough, but all the paperwork required such as pre-trip inspections, log books, commercial operator records, etc. just wasn't worth it for me. I bought a 3500 with pickup box and live with the limitations. I didn't really want slides anyway.
Since no one has mentioned any of this I presume you are lucky enough to have some sort of RV exemption.

It isn't that there's an exemption for RV use, an F450/F550 isn't considered a commercial vehicle, at least here in the US.
F650 is my understanding when you start to play with the big boys.
