Hi All!
I just bought a 2013 22FBS today! I am selling my house and planning on moving in to my trailer full time. I'll be living as a solo female in my early 30's with my dogs. I'll either be moving out to Albuquerque area or south eastern WA and likely stationary there for a 2+ years. I am planning on starting out at an RV park, hoping I'll get a little more creative with boondocking a bit once I feel like I know what I am doing.
I have yet to buy a truck, have until the end of the week to find one. Would love to hear what others are using as tow vehicles (for similarly weighted trailers: Dry weight 4700, GWVR 6900) or any suggestions. I won't be towing very often, or for very great distances (except for my first move to either NM or WA). I am leaning towards a 1/2 ton truck, but am not sure if that will be pushing it. The truck will be my only vehicle and I anticipate living around 20-30 min highway drive from my work, so decent gas mileage is a big plus.
I am very happy to have found this forum; I have a lot to learn! I've never owned or even stayed in a "real" travel trailer before. I have a 1964 10 ft canned ham travel trailer (glorified tent with a heater ) which is what got me started on this whole adventure. May sound a little crazy, but I am planning on keeping my little trailer for weekend getaways.
