Montana without graphics
Today on I 90 in the State of Minnesota at the exit for St. Charles (eastern side of I 90), we saw a Montana with most of the graphics gone. It said Montana on the door side, but either they were very light or "gone" on the hitch cap. Was it anyone on the forum and what happened to your graphics????

I passed a Holiday Rambler Presidential in Iowa on I-380 between Cedar Falls and Cedar Rapids that also had all the graphics removed, minus the nose cap graphic. Looks pretty funny seeing a solid white 5th wheel rolling down the road.

It looks better than having curled up MONTANA graphics on it.

Hi Folks, we will be receiving our new Big Sky early next week. It was delayed for several weeks by the individual that submits the orders at the factory in order to give us the chance to have PAINTED GRAPHICS. Our dealer called us just before it was to come off the line and asked us if we wanted painted or vinyl and we opted for the paint. As far as I know it was a no cost upgrade. I will post pics as soon as we bring it home. I used to work at a sign company in Va and I know how vinyl takes a hit from sun and weather, so it was a no brainer. Even the graphic on my Jayco had started to fail after only a year.. Dave and Betsy

I would love to see how the paint graphics hold up. Anywhere there is an edge is opportunity for lifting or curling with these vinyl models.
Our rig is three years old, and the front graphics are almost gone.
"Mountaineer" is so awful looking that a rep would cringe seeing it somewhere like a rally.
Pretty soon ours will be white on the front. I actually am looking forward to the day I can powerwash bugs off...

Here is a suggestion, power wash the bugs off now, Then go to the next Montana rally and take an erasable marker or several and do your own art work with "These are not original Keystone Graphics, the real ones blew off" displayed prominently across the front. Then park next to the sales Dept. Maybe that will get their attention. Just a thought.... Dave and Betsy

Ozzie, you got bugs all over your signature! I can imagine what the front of your Mounty looks like!

Brad,
I see you have been playing with the crayons again  .
I'm glad you posted that photo, it made me laugh remembering the look on Vanessa's face the first time I showed her our naked Montana.

A trip through the migration of the "love bugs" as we headed to FL (yep, we made Pensacola) does a number on embedding themselves (at 60 mph) into the graphics. Painting would be a good idea as these vinyl ones are very soft better than a naked Montana!
We are back home after 5 months and very little internet service. Lonnie, we came through Clovis on Saturday but the store looked closed up and no internet, stayed at the park out by the base.
Safe travels.
