I don't believe anyone is trying to scare them. They asked for opinions of course everyone has one. I am not a proponent for truck overkill however I have personally spent money unnecessarily by not thinking ahead a bit or being reluctant to spend a bit extra up front on an adequate vehicle...
As most are saying go with a diesel. When we had our first TT I traded an almost brand new Toyota 4 runner for a 1500 truck thinking it would be fine. It pulled fine in the flat areas where I live in Ohio but our first trip to TN it seemed the truck was "screaming" all the time in the hills...
We just bought a 3575el. When you have a great view the big windows are awesome.
For us the 2 blankets we stored in the cabinets of our prior coach was not a big deal to move to the rear cabinets. We ordered with the slide awning which helps reduce the heat issue.
These are wheel weights for our BH 3575 El as weighed at the national rally.
Off door:
Front 3400
Rear 2750
Door Side:
Front 2700
Rear 2600
Pin 2800
Trailer 14250
Nathan and Byrd keep the pictures coming we're enjoying following your adventure. Hoping one day we can do the same. Safe travels!

I ordered a 3575EL in March and took possession 3 weeks ago. Heartland is short 5 "props" that found their way to my coach.

Data mining is nothing new with retail companies. I guess time will tell with his strategy. I totally get pursuit of selling memberships, insurance and such. What makes me skeptical is the apparent disregard for the core retail businesses which he is wanting to leverage to gain additional...

I highly doubt your truck has an exhaust brake unless it was added after market. Your trailer will have electric brakes do you have a brake controller on your truck for electric brakes?
We recently used your PDI document it was great! Thank You for putting together and sharing. It was funny my wife and I split it up. She was into checking it in detail the tech helping us commented that your wife sure knows about RV's ....lol. We showed him the list and he started checking...
I just ordered and took delivery of a BigHorn from RV wholesalers. The process was easy their price was by far the best. When we did our PDI they assigned a tech to us Ray was his name he was awesome. We spent almost 5 hours on the PDI Ray stuck with us the entire time and fixed every little...
I have a set of towing mirrors from a 2000 Chevy not sure if they will fit your truck. They basically snap over the existing mirrors. If they would fit and you want I will give them to you.
I will be coming in on 33 from the south and plan on taking IN-13 off of 33 thru Millersburg and coming in on CR 34 to the fairgrounds. Will be able to avoid the construction and traffic thru Goshen which can be a pain depending on time of day.

Do you have this particular hitch? If so how do you like it? I was planning on getting the slider although I currently have a slider and have never used.

I am planning on ordering a B&W 18k Patriot this weekend as I am getting a new coach. I currently have a Reese hitch and my initial thought is to measure the current height of the Reese and set the B&W to the same height. I think this would at least be a good starting point then can adjust...
Glad you got her fixed up! The Commander gonna be chewin her some arse ! [emoji1] [emoji1] batten down the hatches!
Glad you found a great dealership. Kudos to the dealer for anticipating the need for RV hookups....must be a Ford thing! [emoji1]
Dang Steve hate to hear that. Looks like the Commander "called a guy " and at least got you off the highway. I don't know anything about the Ford dealer so can't help there. Sounds like you all are making the best of it at least. Let us know if we can help out in anyway.
