We think we want to trade the 5'ver for a TC
I'm just starting to research this, and I know next to nothing. It would be best if hubby did the research, but I have the time and I'd like to at least narrow it down for him. We have a 2008 F450...

Floor plans vary a lot. The Host McKinly is a relatively lightweight small camper that has a sofa and is side entry and accessible with slide in. There are lots of others. Look at both older and newer campers to get an idea of the possibilities.
Some nonslide campers are actually really, really heavy. I prefer a shorter camper with more slides for less overhang. Others, disagree. In practice, one slide adds 200-500 while 1 ft length adds 200-500 lbs.
You will level the truck before camping, so after level, the slides won't be an issue. I've set up mine on beaches more than once. Slides advanced a lot early in their history. I think you'll be good if it is 2005 and above for most brands.
Solar varies. I think most people would say the more efficient ones are doityourself.
