I also like the Keystone Outback's, the model with the side load area for four wheelers etc, is really cool.
Currently we have a 1979 Mallard 18 foot travel trailer that will sleep 6 if need be. I paid $2200 for it 4 years ago. I have real heartburn making payments on something like a camper. We usually only have 4 of us in it, and our two dogs. We don't go to any actual campgrounds, but prefer to camp with friends out alone. I have replaced the heater for safety, and wired in a new few blcok and inverter, but otherwise it has been great.
I have a hitch on the back of the Mallard and I pull a 5x8 small trailer with a 4 wheeler and two dirt bikes on it behind. It works great. I can tell at some of the higher elevations that my Tahoe with the 5.3 is laboring, but it has done it for years.
I second the comment on the Airstreams. They are really nice, no slide outs obvisously, and you can find them restored. Just make sure they have grey an black tanks, since a lot of the models were designed to be used at campgrounds.
Like others have said, don't buy a new one. There are WAAAY to many good deals on used ones out there. Also, with an F150, I don't think I'd want to pull anything over about 25 feet.
