So I guess my choice is to go down in size to the "1/2 ton towable" 24' pull toyhauler (perhaps I'll try a Hensley arrow this time) or upgrade to a new F350 or 450. Unfortunately, I'm really mad at Ford right now and don't now if I can stomach buying another.

I was excited because my truck is almost paid for (no more $615/month payment ) I justified in mind that I would keep driving the truck as my daily driver with it's crappy 14 mpg until paid for, then buy a vehicle with better mpg and park the truck for use only when towing. The sales pitch was buy the diesel -- it's more money, but you get better mpg than the gasser, diesel is cheaper than gas (ha-ha) and when you finish paying for it it still has a whole lot of miles left on it and it's a Super Duty towing machine. All of which, apparently, are untrue. Shame on me.

Well, thanks for your insights. Want to buy a used truck?

Go back to the 29 to 30' tag toy hauler & get the hensley hitch. Its the cheapest solution and should work VERY well for you.

You're definately not the only one to listen to a truck or trailer sales pitch & hear sorta what you want to hear. There are many, many under trucked RVers out there.
