I made it though without spending a dime.. Did talk to Charles Wade who is the western region rep for Montana for a little bit. Found him sitting in the living room of the 3750FL they had on display. Seem to be a nice fellow even if he called my 2002 3295rk a vintage Montana.......

We made it through as well with all our $$ intact.

We also went through the 3750 Big Sky. Nice unit. But what happened to the basement? It is tiny.

Bingo, what are you doing for storage?

Also went through the new 3625RE. New wallpaper. But the wife and I agreed we like our 2012 unit.

Did see some units that had the different shades. C something. We liked them and if someone can help me remember what brand they were I would appreciate it.

Had fun walking around and seeing the different makes. But we are glad we have our Montana.

The 3750 has the smallest basement of all the rigs (the new 3850 is a couple of inches taller and about five inches wider). The outside storage area beneath the bed holds a surprisingly good amount though. When we moved from our 3400 to the 3750, everything that was in the basement (the 2007 had the smaller basement compared to later models) went into these two storage areas. We actually gained a bit with the 3850, but both of these do not have the underneath storage of other models.

I agree not very much storage on that unit. But I guess I like the idea of not owing anybody anything because the wife did like the unit and I still made it out the door intact.

Hey Drifty1. If the Montana dude thinks your Monty is vintage maybe it means you deserve a very good price upon its trade-in. Get it in writing!

Being a Fulltimer we make many friends at the resorts with all kinds of brands and been thru most of them so it is kinda like our own RV show all the time, every brand has features we like and some we don't Although 2 brands I would like to do a walk thru and I have never seen in my travels is a New Horizons or a Excel but wait then I would need a bigger truck to haul them ARRGGG! it never ends I will just stick to my Montana

Went through and only bought another air dryer. Also spoke to Charles Wade and expressed some frustration with the new bathrooms and the swap of our planned bathroom for the new model with no communication to the buyer, me! Nice guy. Mostly looked for areas to improve our new RV, but all in all we like the Montana over just about every vehicle there and I really think the value can't be beat. He also explained why our rig will be delivered 2 weeks late... They had to shut down the factory for something like 8-11 days because they couldn't get the temp in the factory above 46 degrees with all the heater running full blast when it was -20 outside. Understandable, but hope it gets here before our 13 March annual camping kickoff this year. Doesn't leave a lot of time for a PDI, any fixes, packing, installing the power management system, etc.
