frame flex
I am a do it yourself guy, and have been trying to find out just why my frame is flexing. I bought my 2003 3670RL Montana used, Have pulled it from Wisconsin to Texas twice now, and every trip the frame flex gets worse. I will not pull it another inch until I get it right. I looked at your factory pictures taken be a MOC member on a factory tour. I see you are shoving a piece of wood in the bottom of your aluminum frame to strengthen it. why not just use the right material the first time and put real bolts to tie everything together instead of those self tapping screws? The following post is what I put in another topic area. I like my Montana, but probably would not buy another one because of these ongoing problems Keystone is having.
I am going to put some grade 5 bolts up through the frame, through the Aluminum frame, and some steel plates on the top of the aluminum frame, and bolt it all together. I have removed the bottom front covering at least twice now, and have never found a broken weld. I see the 2007factory photos have a piece of wood stuck in the aluminum square tube to stiffen it. Must be very thin stock for them to do that. Too bad they can't get it RIGHT at some point and be done with all the complaints. They would sell more units, and all the bad mouthing would cease..maybe?
