Letâs say youâre wanting a bigger vehicle to tow more trailer but your spouse wants a small sedan instead of a big truck. In the U.S., youâd have few options, but if you were in Brazil you might be able to find yourself a Tropiclassic conversion.
For some reason, Tropiclassic saw a need to take the Ford Super Duty and convert them to vehicles that looked like passenger cars complete with a trunk. Forget that useful pickup box â these have a trunk instead. The best part is that some of the trunk parts came directly from the tiny Ford Focus. So that big, brawny Super Duty now looks like a Focus. Neat.Â

I’ve done quite a few RV reviews of larger fifth wheels recently. Today I want to look at the new, smaller 2021 Keystone Montana High Country 280CK.
This is the newest and smallest member of Keystone’s Montana High Country family and comes in at an overall length of just 32’ 2”. Despite its small size, it still sports the various hallmarks of the Montana brand, including being warrantied for full-time living. Montana also is proud of their cold-weather certification, with the company testing their units down to 0°F for sustained periods of time.
But, more than that, this unit’s got it going on in the heater department. Of course, there’s the propane heater but, beyond that, the AC system includes a 16,500 BTU heat pump plus there’s an electric 5,000 BTU fireplace heater. This means you can use electricity to heat this trailer as long as it doesn’t get too awfully cold.
