Welcome. We have a Montana 3100 RL, which is about 4 feet shorter and nearly a ton lighter than the one you have your eye on. A one ton truck should serve you well. The only question I would have is to do with the Goldwing. We also have a Goldwing but have yet to figure out how to take it along. Keystone makes it clear that any modifications including adding a hitch will void the warranty. Also, if you were to add a hitch, at least on the 3100, you have to add substantial steel members between the frame i-beams. Towing a small trailer or the bike itself behind the Montana is doable but may not be allowed in some states. I doubt you could carry a big bike on the back of the Montana. If you are starting from scratch and buying both a truck and the fifth wheel, you may want to consider a small motor home instead because a lift to carry the bike can be added to the rear of most motor homes. Have fun and let us know if you figure out a way to take the Goldwing along.
