I would avoid a HDT (semi tractor) at all costs unless you absolutely need the weight carrying capacity of one. Repairs on these are in the same price range as motor homes. Unless you can buy and convert a new one $$$$$, then your are looking at probably at least 300,000 miles on an affordable one. Yeah, yeah, there're suspossed to go a million miles. They will go a million miles on the engine, but you will have many 10's of thousands dollars in repairs to make that happen. Many of the ancillary components will fail along the way such as starters, radiators, air brake systems, transmissions ect. These repairs are not for the faint of heart. Even a simple oil change is several hundred dollars ( think 10 gallons of oil) regular fuel filter changes are required and there are two of them. They actually are not to bad to drive around town without a trailer (Bob tail) as long as the roads are smooth and dry. When the roads are wet, well, get ready for a white knuckle ride. Super stiff suspension an rock hard tires don't make for confidence inspiring stops. When there is packed snow or ice on the road you're just on a suicide mission. Want to go exploring down a dirt or even gravel road? Plan on going slow, jarring your teeth out, and fighting to keep the truck from bouncing off the road. You will however be the envy of the campground, at least from those who have never driven one!
