Newbie Montana Owner, what I have learned so far


As I have now owned my 3057RL for 4 days and have it safely at the storage yard; I thought I would pass along what I have learned so far.


1. Make wider turns! I ran over a curb on the right at the dealers and a curb on the left at the RV Park. No damage done. I have calculated that I have made 5 left turns and 9 right turns so far.

2. It really is much easier to hitch a 5th wheel than travel trailer. You can see the hitch to line it up and it closes on contact.

3. Trailer Saver hitches are really cool, easy to hookup, quiet in use and you don’t feel the 5ver hit potholes behind you (Thanks Orv).

4. Having the Montana and the dually the same width some how makes it easier to tow.

5. Chevy 3500 dually Silverado has tons of power, moves the 5ver down the road and up the hills without even thinking about it.

6. That 50 AMP power cord is heavy and it doesn’t roll neatly back up.

7. I CAN DO THIS!

Things to learn next:

I have not yet attempted to back up with the Montana attached to the truck. Nor have I driven any road than wasn’t four lanes wide. Only 100 days until the Spring Rally at Flying Flags! But then they only have pulls troughs so maybe I don't need to learn how to backup.
