I'm an old guy (just 75, widower) and it is now time to spend a few years on the road. I'm thinking of buying a new Ford F350 DRW long bed and a new Northern Lite 10-2.
Questions:
Is a regular cab OK, or will the overhang block the view thru the windshield, All the pictures I've seen have the camper mounted on a crew cab.
Will the standard 6.2 V8 be acceptable or do I need the 7.3. I don't have any experience with diesel engines, and I'm in no hurry.
Any idea what kind of MPG I can expect? I'm not as concerned with cost, rather with maximum range on a 32 gallon tank.
I have these destinations in mind: Alaska, North Slope, Inuvik, Yellowknife, also the Atlantic Provinces. Home base is Northern California (Shasta Lake)
Thanks in advance.
