RE: I need a little Guidance
The quality of workmanship that you observed will be the same on any camper, any brand. Going to Elkhat, Ind and touring the different plants to observe how they are constructed is a real education.

RE: Maxxair and Rain Sensing Fan-Tastic Fan
Our fantastic fan with the rain sensor has worked perfectly for over 2 years. Note that you will have to get a cover that will allow the fan lid to open completly. The whole idea of the sensor was to allow the lid to close when it rains and it works. There are other vents to leave open when you are traveling.

RE: Which is better?....Jayco Eagle or Montana (qualitywise)
The Jayco Designer and the Montana line are very compairable and as far as quality goes there is no such thing in the RV industry. We have the Montana 3400 but would as well have purchased the Jayco designer. It was a personal choice.

RE: Diesel performance
Your MPG is nominal for your truck. Just about everyone on these forums down right lie about fuel milage. Agree that the pin weight may not be right.

RE: Merging traffic
Yield is the most misunderstood and ignored word in the English language. There is no solution to the problem other than to drive defensively or to have a LEO stationed at every get on.I have seen LEO's at get on's arresting folks who refused to yield..It is a sure money maker.

RE: dual pane windows
"Are the dual pane windows in an RV gas filled like those on a site built home or are they just two panes of glass sandwiched together with a dead air space in the middle?"
this is exactly what they are.

RE: What would you have done?
I would have done it if I felt comfortable. Recently we had to ask our insurance company if we could pull anothers 5th wheel due to them having a emergency situation and needing to have the camper returned to their home. I was advised I was covered.

RE: Release handle for black tank Montana 5th wheel
Greypops.There are many models and years of Montana's you do not mention what year/model you have. On my 06 3400 the black handle is inside the convenience center. I would have to drop the underbelly directly under that handle and re attach the handle that probably has come loose. You will no doubt have to do the same with your year/model. You should be able to see the handle by removing several of the screws on that side.

RE: Problems with Montana RV
"This article is for your information. It has been sent to Keystone and Suncoast"
Vulcaneer said it right. actually he was asking Keystone and Suncoast..what should he do next.None of us should have said anything.
I would like to hear a update from the OP..It could help others..

RE: Problems with Montana RV
This is not the auto industry..it is the RV industry..If the Rv industry was anything like the auto industry we would not have all the problems we do. It has been my experience that dealing directly with the vendor can be very helpful. It has been my experience that looking at www.montanaowners.com can be very helpful. It has been my experience that calling Keystone, team Montana can be very helpful and we suggested that the OP try that.
We did note that the OP's dealings were with a dealer yet he seemed to put the blame on Keystone. There is a real good chance that Keystone does not even know about his problems. I would strongly suggest. that the OP contact Keystone himself..do not depend on the dealer ...

RE: Problems with Montana RV
Gruffy.. I have no problems with Montana.. I have had 5 other brand Rv' and the quality was about the same. We had problems with the 3400 but Keystone corrected them without a problem. Quality at Keystone is no better no worse that any other manufacturer. Look at the post on this forum..all brands..similar problems..WTTCS does not work at the factory..nor do I. I am not happy with the quality of my Montana or any other of the brands we have owned..We have been to several of the plants..they all look alike and they all turn out a product that could be of better quality.. It is unfortunate that you had so much trouble with yours but there are far more satisfied customers and that would go for any brand.

RE: Problems with Montana RV
"Well I flat out don't like a Keystone and if your out of warranty only if it’s by a few months don't look for Keystone to be any help. Been there, done that!"
Out of warranty is out of warranty.. do you think your truck manufacturer would replace your blown transmission if it was only a few months out of Warranty..
I can not believe some folks. Gee Ford..I blew my transmission and it is only a few months out of warranty..you will replace it under the warranty won't you..I mean its only a few months////

RE: Problems with Montana RV
Gruffy..wondered where you have been..Actually those are problems of the appliance makers. Keystone/Montana did not make them. The wiring harness bracket that breaks in some units is part of the Lipperts frame assembly and breaks in other units as well. Now Keystone did place them in their units but if you look at any brand you will see mostly the same vendor provided appliances. Montana backs everything within their 1 year warranty period same as My Fords 3 year warranty period, In addition many of the vendor provided appliances have more than a 1 year warranty and they do stand behind the product. You just gotta know these things..

RE: Problems with Montana RV
I Have had many of those same problems with our 06 3400 Montana although not all at the same time on the same trip. Go to www. Montanaowwners.com and you will note that many have had similar problems..Many of those problems are also common throughout the rv industry. Quality is NOT job 1 in the RV industry. Although many of your problems were with vendor provided items they are in a Keystone product therefore Keystone is responsible. If you think about it Everything in a RV is vendor provided. What does Keystone or any other manufacturer do but assemble a RV out of vendor provided materials. Thor is the parent company for several RV companies and has owned Keystone for a long time.
Unfortunately what you are experiencing is fairly common with most any RV. I think you would get some really good help and advise over on the www.montanaowners.com site.
