As you can see, I've only posted 22 times since 2009. We purchased a BC 3500RL and then got orders to be stationed in Hawaii. Our brand new BC has been in storage since 2010. We sold our F350 before coming to the island. We will be re-stationed on the mainland in the summer. Here is my question....Has anyone purchased too BIG of a trailer and then regretted it? Now that we have been without it for a few years, I'm rethinking my idea of camping. We had a 27' travel trailer that I loved pulling. Decided to try the fifth wheel. Went out and bought an F350 to drive as my daily vehicle. My husband does the hitching and set up...I do all the driving.
We only took out the BC a couple of times. Once we dropped it on the truck...OUCH! Anyway, I don't remember feeling super comfortable driving the rig. I hate to sell the BC because I know my husband won't consider a motor home. Should I talk him into down-sizing and staying with a fifth wheel? Will I notice a difference in the way a fifth wheel handles if I'm towing something smaller and or lighter? I want to be able to jump in and go for the weekend. I just feel like the BC3500RL isn't the toy I need. Thank you for any suggestions
