Forgot to add I'm retired as well. I use a F-250 pulling a 22 foot Toy Hauler all over the country. Ironically enough I load the BMW motorcycle in the back of the truck so the Collies and I have more room for overnights (except when using the Excursion). What I like about my TH is the open space when empty, Large water tank, built in generator, built in fuel tank with pump for bike ( I keep non-ethanol gas for the bike and generator), large carrying capacity.
Hope you find a combination that will work for you.
