Lately I've had to tow several 32'-33' TTs that weigh just under 7k lbs, I would much rather hook up to my 40' 15k lb 5er, it just pulls so much nicer and feels more secure/stable.

The Jayco 27.5 RLTS you are looking at is a very nice unit. My parents have the 30.5 RLTS, really has a lot of room in it, love the open floor plan. I know you just recently bought your 01 F-250, IMO, when you are ready to pull the trigger, don't sacrifice on camper due to the limitations of the older trucks. Look at stepping up to a newer model truck, 2011 or newer with the exhaust brake. You will have the towing/payload capacity you need, the trailer you want, and a really nice setup you'll love.
