Navy Geo Bach in need of advice
I am getting ready to move 200 miles from my family and we have decided the best thing would be for me to live out of an RV. I have a 2016 F150 EcoBoost with max tow package. What do y'all recommend I look at? Thanks in advance!

For a bachelor pad, you can get a comfortable travel trailer (TT) that won't overload your tow vehicle. I'd search hard for a TT with GVWR not more than 6,000 pounds, which can be towed by your pickup without worry about overloading the pickup. Yes, they are available, but most small TTs will have GVWR of 7,000 pounds or more, which probably overload your F-150.
Or buy the TT at your destination, and have the RV dealer deliver it to your RV site, then you can go for a bigger TT with any floorplan and options you desire without worrying about overloading your tow vehicle. But that means that when that gig is over, you shouldn't try to tow that too-heavy trailer to the next RV site.
