Been looking to retirement travel as my age and medical issues are catching up and after so many friends and family dying this past year I have decided if I don't do it in the next 10 years I very probably won't do it at all. The maxim, "Here today, gone tomorrow" is definitely playing out in front of us all.
Anyway, projecting out with serious due dilligence into the RV community what makes sense to me as both a practical and doable with a minimum of fuss was either a trailer or Class C to take off for weeks to months at a time. Taking the problematic supply issue and RV warranty work into account I believe my most problem free way forward is neither the stressful trailer or Class C but with a Host or Eagle triple slide out 4000 lb truck camper and a F350/F450 long bed dual wheel PU that I can drop off and use the truck as a daily driver when I need to. Issues aside I can take the ford into any dealership, no so with a class C or A locally or drop the truck camper off If I can't fix it. Warranty issues play on my mind with all the problems germane to RV ownership now if timing were not an issue I would just pass.
**The shock of pricing is that a full size F350/450 is often LESS or not much more than the best selling F150! The camper is about 50-$60,000 New.
