I know my combo is completely safe and rock solid but I can't say it's better or worse than a MDT.

The trend is changing since the DRW's are so much more capable these days like the F450 and RAM 3500 DRW's that are SAE certified to do what they claim.

Very happy for you!
Very nice!!!

Would spend a minimum of 2 weeks in one location and site see a 100 mile circle, see as much as possible in that area, then move about 250-300 miles and start over seeing that area. We saved a bit by staying longer than a day or two in the rv parks and could unwind and actually "SEE" the area as opposed to being in a hurry. There is so much to see in the USA and even staying for a few weeks in some areas I'm sure we missed a bunch. If you only have 1/2 as much fun as we did your going to really have a blast.
You will find full time living much more enjoyable if you slow down, we also have found that it's ok to sit around your RV and just do nothing...your not a tourist anymore!

No on pulling the Expedition behind the fifth wheel. Too much weight there for the DRV hitch system, and I don't think the Expedition would tow four-down.

When we retired and moved to Colorado, we had a Ford F150 pickup as our second vehicle, but Jo wanted 4WD while here in Colorado. (We'll be here perhaps another year or two.) We use our second vehicle as a scout vehicle and she follows me in it so she can keep an eye on things from behind. It's also our daily driver and has been invaluable for trips to Idaho and Oklahoma to see family. While the F450 is comfortable to ride in, I'd hate to pay that much in fuel for family trips.
