Hello everyone,
My name's Ed. My wife and I have been wanting to purchase a pickup and fifth wheel for camping around the UK ever since we RV'ed in California for our honeymoon (4 years ago!).
This year we've finally got to a position, financially and with our young daughter who is now 3, where we could actually make it happen and so I've been doing research and having a look around various places for what might be a good starter setup for us. My current thoughts are that a Kountrylite rig and a Ranger/Navara/Hilux would be a safe bet, but ideally I'd love to hear from people with first hand experience to impart some wisdom!
We're almost certainly looking to buy second hand, and were looking to spend somewhere in the region of £20,000 on the combination. As for how that is split between tow vehicle and rig I'm not quite sure, as I've heard conflicting advice!
Any pearls of wisdom?
Many thanks to all for reading,
-Ed
