It's a semi-tailer RV....it must somehow fold up like a "reverse origami"!?

If the trailer has 22.5" rims and adequate tires, I see no problems with that 32,500 pound trailer going down the road at 55 MPH! It looks like it expands out to be 14' wide.

Yes I would tow it with a dually ford, as long as it came with the factory option 250 HP Cummings in it. Yes the F-650 does come with that engine as a option.

Ford never put a Cummings in anything. Probably never will.

I see Fords advertized all the time with Cummins engines. You just have to get one larger then an F550.

Oh sure, Ford uses Cummins. But you won't see a Cummings.

Sorry, just a pet peave. I'm not normally a spelling nazi.
