Congratulations and have a great time in your new camper. Oh, and Welcome to "The Best Darned Forum on the WWW!!!!
FWIW: When it comes time to buy that tow vehicle, remember, more is better.......

Congratulations! We picked ours up in September. Just visited the local RV show last weekend and re-confirmed that we are really happy with our choice.
All the best!

Another thing, on the new truck - have a look at my posting here - might give you some ideas to talk about in your truck search.

Iknow what you mean about the grapevine, I use to drive semi's down it.
I have my eye on a 07 F350 6.0 with 4:10;s extended cab with camper pkg and tow haul.
I am hoping that there will be many 08's on the market soon that will give me a choice.
I just need to keep an eye out for the right truck
Thanks for the info on the exhaust brakes for the 2011 Fords.

Congratulations on the new Montana. It sounds like you will be getting a really nice unit. I hope you get many years of enjoyment from it. I also wish you the best with your truck decision. Although ours seems to do a fine job of towing, I wish it had a higher tow rating for the combined gross weight. I understand that changed in 05 with higher ratings. With the information I have for ours, 20,000 lbs on the GCVWR just seems a little too restricting to suit me.

Congratulations on your choice of retirement lifestyles. Retirement is highly UNDERRATED! Our new 2955 will be here the end of this month and we are excited! I agree with exav8tr that more is better.

We, too, are a little prejudiced. You picked a great unit! Wish we had the conviction oven in ours. We also have the Mocha interior. Love it!

How exciting for you! We've had our 3455SA for about a year now and just LOVE it. FYI, we pull it with a 1 ton single axle Dodge 3500 longbed 4x and haven't had any issues.
