Teton Homes
With all the discussion on this Forum regarding the quality and/or lack thereof issue, I thought it would be interesting to share with you a little experience I had at the Tampa RV Show. On our way into the building where we were to meet the other MOCers was a gorgeous 40ft Teton Homes 5th wheel and, just for the heck of it, we went inside. It was just as gorgeous inside as out ... and well it should be for $156k! However, as we were nosing about, I opened one of the cabinet doors next to the entertainment center ... and it came off the top hinge!!!
Just something to consider.

Vicki, We went in the same unit and although it was a beautiful rig I was trying to figure out were the 156K was at. This rig was priced well over a 100 grand more than the Montanas but I would challenge anyone to show me that 100K plus.

I have owned Ford cars of different ilks and Lincoln Towncars there is a big difference in the price tags between the Towncar and say, a Falcon. There was a difference in the ride., but both got me from here to there in about the same amount of time. Both at some point needed a new muffler or a new water pump.
No matter how much you pay, something is going to need repairs on RV's as well as cars. The price tags and everything else is largely ego driven. Vicki, you just proved my point.

I could tell it was too rich for me so I didn't go in it. Besides my little Ford would have problems pulling it.

You should have seen Vicki's face when that door swung down in her hand. It was one of those "oh, no, I broke it, what do I do now?" looks.
Tom, I don't mind going in those rigs because I know there's no way I'd be tempted to buy it. Or I should say couldn't.
