My DH just retired March 30. We have a 2013 Fleetwood 5th wheel ordered. We are going fulltime RVing! We camped for years when the kids were younger. They are all grown now, so we're hitting the road come June 1st. Right now we are looking for a Toad. We've been perusing this sight and have gotten a lot of great information about full time camping.

Jim and Cindy,
Welcome to the RV Dreams forums. You will find the folks here to be knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and encouraging. Feel free to ask any questions that come to mind and we'll all do our best to help you along.
When you say "Toad" are you planning on towing a second vehicle behind your trailer? If you are, be sure that the truck you buy is large enough with respect to weight capacities to be able to tow the fifth wheel and the "toad." The reason I mention this is because you said in your profile's biography that you were looking for a truck for towing.
If you are planning on towing both a fifth wheel and a second vehicle (referred to as double-towing or triple-towing) then this website might be helpful in seeing where you can tow in that fashion and how long your rig can be.
