Hello to all. We are just getting ready to purchase a 5th wheel between 31 to 35 feet. IN addition, we want to purchase a Ford F250 6.7 Diesel 4x4 for our tow vehicle.

Our plan is to become fulltimers and travel around our great country.

We currently live in NC and our first summer we plan on hanging around our coastal area.

My concern is driving the F250 with a camper up to 35' long with a trailer weight around 12,000.

Any tips and suggestions about driving this setup. The full gamut like drive speeds, other vehicles, hours or milage you drive in a day. Backroads vs interstate roads. I am sure there are other items you will add that I have not mentioned.

I look forward to your input, suggestions, stories and ideas.

We Thank You in advance...
