We purchased a new 2017 VanLeigh Vilano 365 RL back in September 2016 to go full time. We had the unit delivered to a campground in the Texas hill country and we moved in while we wait out the winter. The plan is to buy a new 2017 truck the first week of February. We plan to take some short shakedown trips to get comfortable with towing before we head out for a 3 month trip to Massachusetts. We have set aside up to $80k to buy the truck. It is our intention to travel the entire country full time so we want to be sure we have enough truck to accomplish this safely.
I find the various truck specs to be confusing and I don't want to rely on the dealer to tell me what we should buy. I'm hoping someone here would tell me what you would buy for this setup. I'm prepared to either order the truck or get it from a dealer out of the area if need be.
Vilano specs:
GVWR : 16,000
Dry Weight : 13000
Hitch Weight : 2800
Width : 101"
Height : 12'11"
Length : 38'11"
Thanks,
Todd
