Has anyone had to adjust the hitch height due to the taller bed height in the 2017 F350's? My 2012 truck was 19-3/4" from the bed to the top rail of the bed, yet the 2017 F350 is 21" from the bed to...

We like our Alpine, especially the heat pump, however when I went to trade it in on a new one, I was shocked at how much it depreciated. I've been to three (3) different dealers all with the same...

Ford pro trailer back up assist
Any thoughts on Ford's new Pro Trailer Backup Assist? Youtube has a video with the system on an F-150 and a boat trailer. Is it available on a F-350 and would it work for a 5th wheel?

I really like the HP; it keeps the Alpine very comfortable when the termperatures are above about 32 degrees. Below that the furnace comes on. It has significantly reduced propane consumption. We...

Heat pump
Our Alpine only has the HP in the LR. The BR has a 13,000 btu AC unit. I really like the HP. I too was disapointed that the 2015 Montana does not have a heat pump as an option. The HP runs "some of...

We have had both. I'd give the edge to the Alpine. We have not had pealing decals on the Alpine although I assume Keystone has fixed that. The Alpine has a heat pump in addition to the gas furnace....

We don't do anything special with the slides, although I do exercise them once a month in the winter. I also check the battery to make sure it is charged.

Electric cost
I'd guess $20-$25 per month assuming you do not leave anything on except maybe the fridge on during the week. I'm also assuming the campground does not add a meter reading fee, etc.
