I also have a bad heart. I had to sell our 27' Keystone 243RKS because it was too much for me to keep up. I have balance issues as well related to my heart attack so roof and ladders are not in my network anymore. You will need a power tongue jack and power stabilizers would also be a nice addition. My wife lifted the heavy anti sway bars off the hitch but that is also a consideration. Don't forget how heavy the receiver is for the hitch. I became able to do most of the other hookups myself but appreciated her assistance as it allowed me to not be worn out after setup or before driving home. Consider maintenance that will need to be done especially for winterization. My kids were helpful but I didn't want to be that dependent on them. My '99 F250 was a great truck and I found that the V10 was a very capable towing machine especially with the right gear set. I sold my truck as it was getting long in the tooth and deteriorating from just sitting around.
We have been looking for about a year now for replacement as we miss camping very much. For us a small class C seems to be the best replacement given my limitations. I have considered a smaller TT and truck but find it hard to live with downsizing that much. As of right now the best solution for us will be the new Minnie Winnie 25B. I just need to figure out how to pay for it without going into debt. Good luck in your search. I wish you many more years of breathing and enjoying nature.
