We think we want to trade the 5'ver for a TC
I'm just starting to research this, and I know next to nothing. It would be best if hubby did the research, but I have the time and I'd like to at least narrow it down for him. We have a 2008 F450...

1. With your trailer and Gator, you are towing about 4000 lbs. Without a WDH you will have about 600 lbs of hitch weight and less than 400 lbs with a WDH. Take those numbers into consideration when looking at capacities.
2. The slides in current campers are reliable and can be deployed partially or fully. We never had problems deploying the slide at an angle where we felt comfortable climbing in the camper. I would be more worried about your fridge off level than the slide.
3. The more slides, the more weight. You will run into clearance issues with branches and limbs that hover 12' above the ground on forest roads more than the weight. Your truck will not have the flotation on soft sand due to the tires. You should be able to go over packed sand without issue.
