In my original post I pointed out that the poster should consider the issue to be mostly vendor, not Keystone. I don't think Keystone is responsible for a coach that is a few years old and past the 1 year warranty. The vendor IS if they had a multi-year warranty.

Anyways as far as being a troll I'm not sure I would go that far. They did state some specific places that do exist. I know Lee's Family Trailer in Windam Maine. I have gone to their open house in the Spring for a few years now and tried to buy a RV from them (they always seemed less then interested in making a deal, they seem interested in first time buyers who will pay MSRP not knowing any better).

Good luck.

The OP has only one post. Has never posted before or since. That's why I'm skeptical. JMO


Activist skeptics, self-described "debunkers" are a subset of scientific skeptics who aim to expose in public what they see as the truth behind specific extraordinary claims. Debunkers may publish books, air TV programs, create websites, or use other means to advocate their message. In some cases they may challenge claimants outright or even stage elaborate hoaxes to prove their point
Because debunkers often challenge popular ideas, many are not strangers to controversy. Critics of debunkers sometimes accuse them of robbing others of hope. Debunkers frequently reply that it is the claimant, whom they many times accuse of exploiting public gullibility, who is guilty of abuse
Debunkers is good handle for a lot of the posters.

We had a Montana we bought new. A new 2004. Loved it and had no serious problems with it. The fridge was replaced under warranty and the main AC was replaced under warranty. No other problems.
We would have bought another Montana if they would have had a floor plan that worked for us.

I feel bad for you that you had so much trouble with your coach. I believe it is fixable.

If you read this forum long enough you are going to see these problems on almost any rv out there and you will read the same replys. This orginal post leaves lots of questions hanging? I have delt with keystone & they did everything they were supposed to do. when you pull out of your drive you have got to use your own experence & lady luck to get to your destination.The thing I like about this forum ,you will see more real problems than on a owners forum. Good Luck to everybody out there & check your rig good at every stop.

All manufacturers are going to have problems. This forum represents a minute number of the people actually RVing.

Example, at my work I know of six other guys that have either a fiver, tt and one has a Class A rig. None of them have ever heard of this forum and even after I’ve told them about it they have no interest in it.

You do see a lot of first time posters here complaining about their problems because until they have a problem they don't look for any place like this. Most people that are retired don't come to this forum as most don't know how or either don't care about the internet. And NO I’m not picking on the old guy. It’s just around the corner for me.

I agree that the OP could have chosen a better heading, but he probally didn't think anything about it cause it is his Monatana

If I were a newb looking to buy a 5th wheel and I read any of these RV forums looking to find a quality rig I think Id end up giving up and staying in hotels. The basic feeling you get is theyre all junk. Fact of the matter is one needs to guage their tolerance for build quality issues when compared to standards of the general non RVing public. If youre a picky person, odds are RVing is going to test your nerves.

Dear fellow rvers,

Thanks to all for reading and giving your advice. Misery does love company.

I plan to keep the Montana and, as soon as I return home, to take it to my dealer who received my post, along with Keystone, before any of you read it.

My intention was not to bash, because we do like the Montana. However, I respect your perception.

Since I am traveling, I do not stay posted to this website. I regret that a few felt that I dumped and ran.

This is a great website. I wish that I had discovered it earlier!

Happy Traveling to you all.

Glad to see you post again. I'm the skeptic. I hope you have all the problems fixed by now. What did you do to fix the wiring that pulled loose for the slide? I have a similar problem with wiring support on one of my slides. I'm not a bad person and sure not a debunker, just a skeptic. Welcome to the board.
