Newbie looking for some assistance
I'm a travel nurse as well as my girlfriend. We decided we want to buy an RV to live out of for the next year as we travel the country (including alaska) to work. We have a brand new F150 v6 Ecoboos...
Forum Discussion
From your other post:
It says that cargo and passengers should never exceed 1352lbs
My girlfriend and i together weigh 400lbs (i account for more lbs of those than her!). My motorcycle weights 450lbs. and my dog weighs 50lbs. So that puts the total weight we add to the truck at 900.
And your other comment:
This sure was a fast learning experience. We plan to only do this for 1 year and we literally just bought this F150 like 2 weeks ago. But i just didn't plan on using it to tow a trailer at that time.
Both of these were in response to what which F150 you had.
And as one of the poster pointed out......after subtracting the 900# from your sticker payload of 1352# you would only have 452# of payload left.
Then you would also need to subtract anything you have inside truck with you..yes that means backpacks, coats, all that little stuff in console, truck door pockets, doggie stuff PLUS the weight of hitch and anything else you have in truck bed with motorcycle.
What's left over....not a whole heck of anything for trailer tongue weight.
Nice truck......enjoy it!
But hauling a motorcycle, towing a trailer and it being one 2 adults and dog live in...........not unless you completely ignore all weight/tow ratings.
And living in an RV FT is not cheaper than renting apt. etc. It is different lifestyle but not really cheaper.
Asking the same question in a different way will not get you the answer you were hoping for.
Same issues exists as pointed out in your other post on same subject.
