    That's a bit different kind of living in the truck than is common.

    All I can say new trucks are a gamble. The warranty is nice if you have the ability to wait out downtime which may be weeks at a clip, sometimes just waiting for them to look at it. They wont be in any hurry. Some guys luck out and some not so much.

    I would look for a 2014 or newer truck with a Apu installed for the life of the truck . Check out the Prime trucks , they are the nicest of the used trucks and can be found with lower mileage.
