Here's what you Ford drivers need.....
an F650! It's a little souped up and kinda a high hitch, but it should have plenty of power. We saw it in Demopolis, Alabama.

Now, see what happens when you spend all your money on your ride! You end up still shopping at Wally World! Nice truck. I'll bet they spent plenty of money on that one!

Nice set-up, I wonder how many gal of fuel it holds and does he have a match on the drivers side.

No matter how much we’d spend on a ride, (even like that,) with our Monty, we’d still be $$$ ahead of the folks who bought Class-A diesel pushers with maybe one or two slides. (And wouldn’t have to be without our HOUSE if we needed an oil change or new injectors.) 
And we already feel like we're going to the poor house filling up, (38 gallons will cost us over a C-Note soon,) now that the oil companies are allowed to use all manner of excuse to gouge us.
Nothing wrong with shopping at Wally World. Though at least having a Publix somewhere near would always be nice....
I wonder what it’s got for an engine. Unless it’s heftier than a 6.0, there’s not much gain, aside from weight limits.

My first impression also was "WOW" look at the fuel tanks and how much they carry.

Yeah, but now they probably can't afford a Monty!

Now you would really have to flip the axles on our 2980 to hook up to that truck.

It comes with your choice of a Cat, Cummins, or a Power Stroke engine with an Allison tranny. Max HP you can get is 300, and 780 pounds of torque. Couldn't use it as it doesn't have 4 wheel drive.

This one has the 5er hitch bed. Last time I looked (DREAMED) retail was $91K
http://www.ford-trucks.com/gallery/2...zer/index.html
Too bad ya can't get it in a 4X4 configuration.
With the CAT motor 3126 300HP 860ft/lb torque
Dual 65 Gal fuel tanks
Here's another link

Now I just need to hit the lottery for some large coinage and get a 4X4 suspension thrown under it.

Even at $91K, one of those, together with a Monty, would still be cheaper than an equivalent Class-A.
Pardon me while I make Homer Simpson's DROOLING sound....
