I am in the research mode and leaning towards a 5th wheel or TT. I like the idea of a 4 door cab so when I am out sightseeing I have the capability to overnight plus I can carry and store what I don't need in the trailer or want nearby. Sometimes I go wondering around an area and may wish to camp overnight verses driving all the way back. I would like to keep the length as short to help maneuvering and ride. We have some F250 with 4 door cab and full size bed at work and they look like a land yacht. If you park in a regular parking spot they stick out about 4 feet. As for the size of the trailer I am trying to keep it as short as possible but as I look they tend to grow to about 30 feet. So of my camping will be boondocking. Oh, right now it looks like I am the only one going on this adventure.
Some of the questions I have are.
1. Which is better long, short or flat bed.
2. I think I saw something about a 5th wheel hitch that has air ride and slides. What the heck is that, pros and cons?
3. Single or Dual rear wheels?
4. What size of truck. I would like great MPG but I want to make sure I don't have any problem pulling a trailer
5. If I go 5th wheel will I be still be able to carry things in the bed of the truck? What do you guys put in the bed.
6. It looks like the 5th wheel design is easier to hook up and go.
7. What options on the truck I should look for. What would you add.
8. Why don't I see SUV or cars towing TT anymore.
Just wanted to thank you all for the feedback.
