We are going to get our first RV after months of looking. We initially thought we would stay on the small size(rpod) but as we walked through realized we probably would be trading it in for something bigger in short order. So we decided on a 2017 Winnebago 2401rg.
Gvwr 7000 and and 27' 11"
I initially thought I was going to be able to use my 2003 Tahoe but with this bigger unit, after reading lots on the forum, I understand that it's not the best idea (despite what the salesperson said). Not only do we want to be safe, but I want to make sure wa are suited for longer distance trips. The issue is that my company provides me a vehicle and gas and she doesn't want a truck to drive to work. The Tahoe is the third vehicle and would be what I am replacing.
So I am trying to find some used trucks hopefully under $20,000 as it might get 5000 miles a year in it. I've been confused if the chevy 1500 z71 / ford 150off road would give me the pulling power or if I need to step up to the 2500. Or if you had $20000 what would you try to find... Any help/advice would be appreciated.
