We did the "break up test" also. We use Northern quilted. Dissolves in water easily, but no nasty "breakthroughs" when dry. 4 RVs over 25 years. Never had a clog (knock on wood). No reason (IMHO)...

FWIW, my galley tank leak was not the top seam. It was on the bottom, driver's side, back corner. 2 inch crack in the material. Fixed it with a resin I got at local RV dealer and it held until I...

Yes. Fluid was leaking (slowly) from the top of the front left leg of my Level Up system. Ended up having the entire leg replaced under warranty. It was the top seal that was bad. Not sure why...

Always strap them down in my SOB because of the fact that unlike the other furniture, these things rock like crazy when going down the road. They can damage each other, walls, windows, etc. During...

Like many have said before, a big part of the equation is the dealership. I had a 2003 and 2009 Montana and was generally happy with both rigs, though the latter had a lot of issues initially and...

Like jlb said, it's the difference that matters. While shopping for current rig, the dealer I eventually bought from offered me $5-7000 less for my 2009 3400RL than I believed it was worth. I told...

Sad to say things like this were a major factor in me not having a 3rd Montana. Loved our rigs, even with the issues (most of them minor, except for leaking tanks). However, when it came down to a...

Decent crowd at the Raleigh show, but only saw one sold sign! That was Saturday at 4 PM. Maybe more got sold today.

kilted - great point, though I really don't think MSRP is really anything more than an illusion created by the mfrs. Does anyone actually ever pay sticker? btw, I saw a 2009 3400RL on rvtrader -...

Are "local" RV shows a dying breed?

Went to a local RV show yesterday, first since we went to the same show back in 2009 where we bought our 3400RL. This is an annual event, attended by about 12 dealers, down from a few years ago.

We looked at one this month too and it was pretty impressive - especially the storage. Depending on what options it has, I'd say that's a pretty good deal. We looked at one for 69K, though the...

Departing MOC - thanks to all!
