What would you pick and why

Now that we have Red and the S&S back and full retirement is looming closer, we've decided to get a bigger RV for the "world tour" when we first retire. We plan on going F/T for 2-3 years touring the US and Canada and want something bigger than the S&S. A larger TC with slides would fit the bill but I just can't justify buying a newer truck since Red has at least 100k or more left in her, and she can't handle a 5000+lb TC. We'll keep the S&S for after the tour, cause it works just fine for us...we just can't see us living out of it for 2-3 years.

Now to the choices, we plan on bringing a touring M/C along for the best sightseeing. That being said there's 2 ways to go, 5er or TT. With a 5er we can go T/H, but most of those are to "desert" oriented for our tastes. Or we can do a 26-30 foot 5er with a swivel wheel platform on the rear. Or we can put the bike in the back of Red and pull a TT. I want to stay in the 10K and under GVWR for whatever we get, and it will definitely be used and under 20K.

I just completed a major upgrade/rearrangement of my camping with a motorcycle.

Had: 2008 Fuzion 302 Toyhauler and 2005 GMC 2500 crewcab short bed diesel
Have now: 2018 Arctic Fox 25Y and 2018 Ford F250 Lariat Ultimate crewcab short bed diesel with Mountain Master MC loader.

The motorcycle is secured to the loader on level ground and then a winch pulls it into the bed of the truck. No more balancing a heavy bike on a ramp - truck or toyhauler.









Cheers,

I agree, you need a decoder ring to decipher the post.

Thanks for that, I thought I was the only one out of the loop.

Just a suggestion? How about the Outback TT with the front garage?
