Tom, I see no reason that truck wouldn't work for almost anything you need BUT since you will be trailer shopping and want a 5th wheel you need to watch the front weight. My Dad pulled a 32 foot Carrylite fifthwheel for many years with a Ford F150, but it was a rear kitchen which put much of the weight of trailer to the rear. It was quite a load, I know as I towed it a couple of times for him. Myself, I prefer a tongue pull RV for the simple reason I would miss the truck bed for carrying "stuff". When we used to camp in North Texas a minimum of once per month, we usually went somehwere with a small lake such as Cleburne State Park or Mineral Wells State Park (those were my favorite 2). In the picture below you will see the last rig I bought in 96 that we still have to this day. The topper has a rack that is a boat loader, unloader. Back up to the water, push the remote winch cable and the boat unloads into the water. Of course inside the bed I had to store the little 15 HP motor, trolling motor and battery, paddle, life jackets etc. Oh yea, don't forget the fishing poles! I couldn't have done that with a fifthwheel trailer although I have seen some tow a boat behind their trailer too. Imagine trying to back that up! I knew a guy that had a set up like this so he could have a fifthwheel and boat: He hated it, said whenever you were first in line at an intersection you couldn't see the traffic lights. Also said you couldn't see the gas station canopy to judge height. Anyway, here is our rig that we still have. Since our kids are gone I've considered selling or trading it in since it's bigger than two of us need but.........it's real comfortable and a joy to drive (no sway on the freeways). FYI, it's a front kitchen trailer so it has a heavy nose so it's great to pull with our F350.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
