I have been talking to some truck guys around here and we are looking at
a 1500 Silverado four door with a 5.3...

Very doubtful that would be rated anywhere near high enough for a 36'
fifth wheel. You are going to need a 2500 or F-250 series truck at a
minimum.



Yeah, that's what it seems. We are heading out today to look at weights
and such, towing capacity etc... In the mean time we are considering
just getting the biggest trailer we can get for the Jeep and doing with
what we have. If I can take a 7x14 or an 8x16 Haulmark (tm) or similar,
I can do the inside nice for me and Jess anyway with two sleeping areas,
a porta potty, and a separate area for the bikes. The Jeep is within a
few months of being paid off and is still in mint condition even if it's
pretty much useless as a "truck"...
