A momentum is in our future. Like the layout of the 395M, but likely a 349M or 351M for the shorter length and full pass-thru.

2014 Heartland Elkridge E26 and 2017 F-350 6.2l. Need to flip springs and/or lower AUH ball to get it more level though.

We upgraded our 2016 Glacier Peak to a 2020 Vanleigh Beacon 39FBB. Got the Beacon before everything hit the fan. Have a 2020 F450 currently on order as the F350 is pretty well maxed out pulling the new one.

I've been able to add quite a few upgrades while in the lockdown, including some Battleborn lithium batteries, Victron 3000W inverter, Victron Solar controller & battery monitor, AM Solar Smart Phase Selector (simulated shore power) and the MicroAir easy starts for two of the three AC units. That allows us to run everything when not plugged in (can even run the AC for a short period of time). Still plan on adding some additional solar panels to more quickly recharge the batteries.

That is going to be a head turning combo. Is the red in the trailer Rapid Red or just a very close match?

That's an awesome looking combination. I would've loved a custom unit from New Horizons, but the wallet said no lol ! I'm a bit jealous! Be sure to post more pics when it arrives (inside and out).
Looking forward to the F450, especially the wide track front end. It can't get here soon enough.
