WTF would you be able to use as a 'tow car' for this?

Something a bit heavier like this.

Fit a flatbed with a fifth wheel and jobs a goodun! 

I don't know about the braking system on these trailers though, I'm guessing they're air braked, so you'd have to fit a compressor and tanks as well I suppose....

Yep! That might do it!  I saw a wide bodied F350 on a Disney Land car park parking lot a few years back ............. they're MASSIVE!

I've got to say there's a few Ford Rangers sprouting up round my way. I'm in love!

Brother in law had one of those in the Uk to live in for two years until last year. He used a Nissan diesel truck (like the one posted) to tow it.

The home was very nice. He has a smaller motorhome now.

Yes I like the big Yank pick ups too! The Chevy Silverado or Avalanche especially!! 

The MPG isn't as bad as you'd think and if you could get them in RHD I'd have one!    Maybe I'll have to move to the States.....

Never felt so small than in America, walking along one of them Ford F series, the bonnet was up to my chest. Massive things 

Those RV sizes must be huge?

and there's a F450 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-F-450-LARAIT-4-DOOR-2008-ford-f-450-larait-diesel-fully-loaded-must-see-mint-condition-/161250258007?forcerrptr=true&hash=item258b43ac57&item=161250258007&pt=US_Cars_Trucks and I've just realised there's a F550 too, but that's more of a truck

The RV 5th wheeler I originally linked to is 42' long

Caravans American style 

To be fair, they need them that wide

.....

To be fair, they need them that wide 

They do tend be generous around the waist line ........ but the UK is catching up
