Really not trying to be a smarta** but you're asking DRV owners if the MS is worth an upgrade from a Montana?? We think it is. My suggestion would be to look at any resale site for 5th wheels and see how few used DRV's are for sale compared to Montana. We are a pretty loyal bunch because we like our units, good floor plans, good factory support and many owners buying new ones. Sorry, gotta say it, you don't have enough truck. We have a 2005 Dodge 3500 long bed and it is just enough for our Select Suite that has a GVWR of 15,200. Our Dodge's gross tow rating is 23,000. An MS can weigh 18 or 19k loaded. Good luck & safe travels.
