Excellent choice! You will be very happy with your decision. And the 5th wheel is actually easier pulling than a travel trailer. Enjoy!

You'll love the extra room, the way the 5er tows and the blue oval too.

A blue oval identifies the best truck, FORD, on the market! https://s.yimg.com/fz/api/res/1.2/7P...00173106_l.jpg
If you are planning on living in it for a year you will not regret the choice.

Congrat's. I always say Go Big or Go Home, although I don't agree on the blue oval. I thought it was Fix Or Repair Daily (Ford)

Good choices. We bought the Pinnacle this year as well. After a few bumps and a few to yet be fixed in a few weeks it's a nice camper. As far as Ford goes... It's: For Off Road Driving.
Enjoy your new set up.

Well that's a step up! But I'm sure you'll love it. We drooled over the pinnacle at a recent RV show. This was our second year with our 24FBS and while we used it quite a bit the first year, this last season was a bust as we retired and moved to a new province and our lives were taken up with the organization of all that.
Just not quite ready to make that kind of investment until we know more about how much we'll use it in our new locale. Congrats to you, 'tho. Beautiful unit.
PS: We love our blue oval. And GMC stands for "got (a) mechanic coming?" Sorry couldn't resist!
