I was looking at $1100 U.S. or more to set up my F150 for a 5th wheel. It's okay. We're going to get a 21NE.

Jim, I have a tow vehicle now, a 2013 F150 with the big six and twin turbos. Can tow like 9500#s. Just need to finish my hot rod and sell it. Then we'll have cash for the 21NE we want.

Enjoy...

We plan on using the back seat of our crew cab (has a clothes bar in there now) for hanging clothes. Could also plastic bin folded stuff. Have done a lot of that travelling.

We bought a custom Calmark cover for our Parkliner. It lasted the 5 years we owned it, and I assume more with the new owners. High quality covers.
