What the ??
I am planning on downsizing my class A to a B+ rv under 25 foot, was also looking at new trucks and a camper as a 2nd option, so with the price of a new F-250 to F-350 and a new camper with a slideout...

Wow ... you guys are right-on about being amazed at today's truck prices!
I guess I'll keep our relatively small 24ft. Class C motorhome for a long time. It's built on a rugged Ford E450 chassis, has non-stock-size larger diameter M&S 10 ply tires on it for improved ground clearance and traction, 45 gal of FW, 39 gal of BW, 29 gal of GW, 18 gal of propane, 230AH of AGM batteries, and 4000W of built-in generator power - plus two permanent queen beds, one temporary full size bed, a dinette area, a lounge chair, an outside entertainment system, an outside shower, and a bunch of outside storage.
We don't tow, park it just about anywhere at attractions and in towns, can camp in older small campgrounds and drycamp sites, and we take it gently offroad to explore and boondock camp in complete roomy comfort.
We paid around $58K for it out the door (but oops -> that was in 2006). For hauling stuff I keep a good old GMC Z71 offroad 4X4 1/2 ton PU parked in the backyard.
