    I can support this. Putting on the driver hat... the KW and FL are about tied, but for me the KW is a bit ahead based on my perception of the higher build quality and slightly better ergonomics. FL has more service locations and my perception is they develop more electrical gremlins.

    Pete would stay 3rd choice, for me most of their dealerships are terrible service centers. So bad I would take my Pete to a KW dealer for service.

I get this first load out of the way and this old man can start turning @Cattleman84 type miles.

    I’d look at the layouts of the Trucks. Freightliners usually have more room. But a lot of the space isn’t practical. Look at legroom in the cab also. KW and Pete will be very similar, but depends on how they’re each set up in the bunk. More shelves the better. Everything needs a place to live. I need to make shelves for mine. No upper bunk, full size bed. No place for anything. Big Freightliner shelves are useless.

    Get a cabover. That way you will have a bunk for her and a doghouse for you!

    I forgot to mention the green/purple camo truck was in Joplin. Although that is pretty close to the nest.
