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 - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
