Fulltiming (mostlytiming) in a XLR Thunderbolt AMP

So, anyone on the forums doing this?

Looking to get some feedback on this and your sense of the suitability a XLR would be for a trip up the Alaska Highway?

Are you going to get a different Tow Vehicle Than the F150?

Well I have seen some brave souls trying to tow with some small trucks I didn't think you were going to pull a Thunderbolt with an F150.
I have a Thunderbolt 425 and I pull it with an F350 crew cab Dually with 6.7 and it does great but I couldn't imagine using anything much smaller.

we most of the time in our 340x12 just wish we would have went with the 375 or 415 just for the extra room.
