I'll probably get ripped to shreds for saying this, but towing a 33 foot TT with an F150, no matter what kind of hitch you put on, you're always going to feel the wind resistance, especially when the wind blows strong from the side. And you'll probably always experience the in-out suction when the big rig semi-trucks pass you on the interstates.
Well I won't rip you to shreds that is for sure. :) This is what I am afraid of. But I will start with a much better hitch. My parents are RV-ers with a 34' class A and tow vehicle and my dad was a professional driver for years. Despite all the "experts" telling us that our truck can tow the weight with no worries he is concerned about the length and skeptical about towing with the F150. So you are in good company as far as I'm concerned.
But this is the set up I have, so far I've not taken it more than an hour from home to Good Sam Samboree's and local campouts. However we are planning a trip from NY to SC in June. If I have to avoid interstates and take the scenic route I will but am hoping that with the better hitch and avoiding high speeds myself (I stick to 55-60 when towing on the interstate) I might be okay.
