Bummer!
Give the Montana dealer your model and serial number of the trailer, they can tell which axles are under it. Good luck with the repairs.
If it is an '07, may I suggest having heavier springs installed when they do the work? I put 4,000# on my drivers side and 3500# on the other side.

Besides the adhesive sticker ... the info is usually(not always) stamped on the back side of the axle off center several inches. Unless you really look for it, it's hard to see sometimes. They're probably #6000 axles.
