A lot of good information here 4 x 4 and Mr has said the same thing about trying to find an old (lightly used, if that is possible) cab and chassis and have a custome aluminum bed made to suit our needs.You might find this useful:

Liberal slant, expect to be gas lighted or deleted in the comment section if you do not follow the narrative. To sum it up, all new RVs are junk. If you buy a new one, have this put in writing on the sales contract: “We warranty this RV to you for 3 days.”
Try Harvest Hosts too.
tow vehicle:
1 ton, DRW, 4x4, diesel, automatic, cruise control, AC, 8 foot bed. Lockers front and rear would not hurt. Same with front and rear winches.
Pull whatever RV trailer you want, carry one of these in the bed, especially if you buy a Ford F-450. A mini truck that is street legal, that you can take on local trails and down to the beaches. Use as a back up in case the tow vehicle dies on the side of the road. Take it from the camp ground to local stores so you do not have to leave your campsite, beats a toad.

Japanese mini trucks also known as, Kei trucks (Kei meaning tiny, small or mini) have been made in Japan for over fifty years. In Japan, these vehicles are mainly used for family farms. They are also used daily for personal and business purposes on their roads. These versatile little vehicles...mayberryminitrucks.com
Whatever you buy, invest in a good alarm and anti-thief system along with things such as a Tile (or air tag) stuffed into the truck, RV, and mini-truck. pacLocks for keyed locks and for combo locks Abus 190/60CS series 2.
Some camp grounds do not allow vehicles and RVs older then 10 years.
That being said, I would go old school and get a 1980s-1993.5 Ford F-250 or F-350 7.3L and invest my money into something easy and cheap to repair. But, any of the newer diesels will far outstrip it in both power, MPG, and payload. A loaded F-450 is likely to hit $100,000. A clean refurbished 1993 F-350 DRW, no so much.
We are new to the forum & need help with choosing tow vehicles, trailers & nudist campsites?
My husband and I just joined the forum and I didn't see an intro section so we will just start here and hope it is ok.
We are approaching our retirement (next year) and looking forward to hitting the road and starting a new project. We are also active nudists for over 25 years now and that plays a big part in our travel plans as you will read below.
Job #1 for you 4 x 4 members...Help us choose the best tow vehicle to best suit our needs and give us the move trouble free trail experiences. We hope to spend much of the spring, summer, and fall of 2024 on the road finding camp site that are acceptable to nudist and clothing optional camping, visiting both main road campgrounds and also find those (little known) back roads campsites.
Job #2...Help us choose a camping trailer to full our needs as we travel the USA and Canada. We hope to be in the area of 17'-20' / single axle, but need your help.
Job #3...Help us find those campsites that we can visit and record on our podcast to share with other nudist or anyone else who has interest.
Well this is a start and we will certainly post more information as this thread moves along but in the meantime feel free to ask us anything you would like to help you share your experiences with any of the above.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Happy Friday guys! Slowly getting warmer here in MN and I guess that say the is better to hold off the flooding later on however I am itching for the beach temps! The hotter the better as far as I am concerned.
Give me a thumbs up if you have had more than enough of winter and snow this year. I say think HOT sun!!

Busy and fun weekend for us and I would like to say a lot of our questions were answered by visiting dealer but seems we have more than we did on Friday. We love the size of the trailers with the slide outs but they seem to add a lot of weight and we could use for other things. For the most part it will just be the two of us and we could manage without the slides. It might be difficult to find a larger trailer that does not have the slides though. Even with our seasonal site 44' trailer we spend very little time inside.
We swung by to stop to see if our trailer made it through the winter. Still too much snow to get close enough to it. This is the way it looked last fall after closing. Wont' be long now (hopefully)

Hi everyone! Been a busy week here but finally Friday and a snow event moving into Minnesota. Seriously, I don't think winter will end this year. My husband got an early start to Iowa to look at the 2 attached trucks. Both have had the bodies removed so they are just cab and chassis now. With just the 2 of us traveling, do you think the standard cab will work so we can have a bed made that is longer? I am on the run right now to get some stuff done before the snow hits but I will check in later.
