Re: Buying a rig, help with truck choice pls.
Can't beat the 2015 F-350 DRW Diesel, quiet running, fast pick up, 440 HP, 860 ft lbs of torque. If you go to a heavier rig later you will be fine. They will pull anything you can hook them too.

Re: Diesel versus Gas
I've had three diesels, a 2001 F-250, a 2012 F-350, and now a 215 F-350. You won't have any problem with them setting. Make sure sure you derail the fuel separator. My truck will,pull anything you can hook it to. This especially important if you plan to travel out West in the Rockies. Make sure you have an engine exhaust brake( works in tow-haul in Fords. Happy Trails.

Re: Campground = low income housing???
I wonder how many of you are full timers? I got started RVing in 2004 when Hurricane Ivan destroyed my Beach House. There was no place to rent or buy because of the destruction. I bought a Safari DP to live in and moved into a military RV Park. I made friends of a lifetime there and return for a few months twice a year. We have two rigs there that belong to instructors at the Navy Flight School and the XO of the base living there full time. There is no trashy rigs and the area is always clean and nice. Of course, we are all either active Duty or Retired Military and that may have something to do with "good order and discipline" we are used to. The spots aren't cheap, not the 1200 a month I'm paying right now but enough to discourage those without a good income. When I am on the road I wait until time to get off for the day, around 4:00 for me, and check my "Exit" book to see what's available. Then call the nearest campground. I suggest you live your own life and let others live theirs. If you don't like a place, hitch up and move. That's what's great about our lifestyle, change. Happy Camping everyone!

Re: Campground = low income housing???
If you don't like a Campground, feel free to move. I'm sure no one will care. I'm a full timer and travel all over, meeting friends at one Military Campground (where you couldn't stay anyway) for up to three months. We all come and go, meeting there to share stories of the road, Dr. Appointments that are scheduled for that date and location. I assume your not a full timer.
