Hello! We are John and Pat Goetz, new members. We have been traveling full time in our 2002 2850RK and Ford F350
since the summer of 2002. John retired from a career in civil engineering, and Pat retired after 35 years as a high school/community college teacher. We've been up to Alaska twice and would love to go again. We spend the winters as assistant managers of Park Sierra, an Escapees co-op park near Yosemite, CA. Our son Jeff is handicapped and travels with us. We have had one problem with our Montana, that we understand is common with the 2002 models = a crack in the bottom corner where the front slide comes out. We took it to Goshen two years ago, and the factory farmed out the job to a local Montana dealer who tried to fix the problem with fiberglass - we were there 2 weeks and the crack re-developed as soon as we left. It hasn't enlarged, but we need to find out if it can be fixed permanently. Otherwise, we are loving life on the road and in our Montana and hope the price of diesel doesn't impact our lifestyle too much.
