My Fleetwood camper had a 33 gallon FW tank. We could go for a 3 day weekend including 4 showers, rinsing off the kids, washing dishes, and drinking water and still have some left over.
I would not recommend an F150 or any other class 1 truck for a TC. Yes, a dually is necessary for the bigger campers, it's recommended for all but the smallest lightest campers. Truck's rated payload is a marketing game. They will say it has "up to" such and such a number. That usually means a stripped down 2wd model with no options. An actual truck's real payload is listed on the door sticker.
