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.

I had a 2000 F-250 2WD that was totaled and it weighed in at 6500lbs meaning that truck could carry more, granted I need too weigh my 01 which is a 4X4 so I'm guessing it's probably over the 7000lb mark making it carry less
I'd love a new truck, and I'm not as in love with my 01 as I was my 2000 F-250. I've been kinda looking at a used GMC with a diesel I'm not touching Ford new diesel just yet, but my brother let me use his Chevy 2500HD because my truck was wrecked a week before camping, and I loved it!!! It was hard keeping it under 75mph towing my Laredo 284BH it was a beast too say the least.
I thank you guys for the imput, and keep it coming if anyone can shed some light on a light weight 5th wheel manufacture.
