Hello -
I am exploring the possibility of getting a 5th wheeler. I need more space than my current Class C provides for my growing family.
I am wondering if it's generally better to find a 5th wheeler first then the pickup truck or the other way around. I don't have a pickup at this point.
I know it depends on a lot. What I can afford for a truck, etc. But if I went the truck route first what is the absolute minimum I should get in terms of power that would allow for a fairly good size 5th wheel (31+ feet)? Does it need to be 4WD? Does it need to be a dually? Obviously the more powerful the better. I don't intend to skimp on the truck. But I am just trying to get a sense so I can start pricing them and doing the math.
Also, does anyone know if there are any 6 passenger pickups? This is another factor I have to consider with getting a 5th wheel. If I can fit my family into the tow vehicle comfortably for what will likely be some long rides than it may not be a good choice.....
Any suggestions are appreciated.
