What If's and Favorites

Looking for your; What If you had it to do again and your favorite picks for truck and trailer combinations. Probably not a new topic here but we've decided to down size.
We've been in our 40 ft Diesel pusher, towing a suv for 10 years and 86000 miles. We were spending 6 and 7 months out and loving it. We're still loving it but only the last year we were only out for 2-3 months for the year and that will probably continue with that length of time out. Decided we don't need this size of equipment and we're gonna sell both rv and suv when we get back from pacific northwest.

We originally started small, with a motorcycle and a trailer and later a 23 Class C , so we've done smaller before.

Gonna get a pickup and a trailer under 25 ft

We like........the Toyota Tundra 1/2 ton. We like the Keystone Cougar, Nash and Outback trailers all similar sizes of 22-24 feet.

Looking for your suggestions/favorites. Combinations. One slide. .....OR Two ?

I'm sure there is a lot of stuff our there to look into. Looking at both new/used.

Whatchagot?

  • We did a lot of miles towing a pop up behind the bike. If I wasn't so full of arthritis we wolud probably still be doing a trip or two a year.

    I I were doing it all over I would go to the 2014 Ram 2500 with the 6.4L Hemi and the Cougar 25' rear living.

    And purrs on a dime?
  • I have a Tundra 1/2 ton with the smaller V8, carrying a 15' box.

    Pulls fine, pulls idling. Still wish I'd gotten the larger v8 and a 4x4 though....

  • I always point out.... Get the size RV that will prevent cabin fever.

    It's a lot easier to ride out a week or two weeks of bad weather (the kind where you have to stay in the RV most of the day) in a 40 footer vs. a 25 footer.
