3rd time around

The wife just bought our 3rd trailer. She selected a '10 Rockwood 8317KDSS. Big enough to hold the grandkids and us, small enough for my truck. Looking forward to getting tips from the more experienced RVers.

Welcome to forum, great place to be. What type of vehicle do you have to pull trailer?

I have a '13 F150 SCrew Ecoboost, 6.5' bed, 4x4. I haven't pulled anything larger than a 14' utility trailer with it, but I'm sure it will handle the 8000 lb GVW of the new trailer. Our previous tow vehicle was a '01 Yukon XL 5.3L that struggled with our last trailer. I see you got the big V8 in yours. I considered the 6.2L in a F350, but opted for the smaller truck.
