Gave 21k for my Freightliner, singled $1800, bed 4k, hitch 4kish, all less than 35k. But my truck is 29' long. Not a good daily drive. We tow a Smart on deck. Now you could get a shorter truck and single short. It can be length of cc lb dually. Won't carry a Smart, motorcycle, atvs, this length though. HDT not for everyone but is a comfortable ride, as good on fuel as a dually, some better. I can't stress the safety factor here. In a bad accident you are the big boy, not the camper. You rule. with the dually the camper rules. jfyi
