New to all of this - Montana Owners Club

dmorgan817 · 08-31-2006, 02:05 PM

Hello from eastern Oregon. We just purchased our first 5th wheel. Have alot to learn about it and a bulletin board like this. I hope with everyones help we will survive both.
Went from a 26ft Prowler TT to the 3650RK Montana. Bought online, had a heart attack when they were parked side by side. Have some issues, working with the dealership; and working, and working. I am still reading all your posts and if I don't find some answers I will post my self. Looking forward to talking to everyone and comparing notes.

Hello Debbie,

You picked a great RV there. And yup parking those two side by side could give you a heart attack all right.
We think our 2980RL looks large. I can just imagine what you feel.
Anyway's you are at the right place to learn about your 3650RK.

Hi Debbie and welcome to Montana - This is an excellent resource pool. I think even the manufacturer sneeks a few questions in here!

What the heck. You don't have to wait until you have read all the past posts. Just jump in with your concern. This forum is full of redundancy. If you need to be redirected to information already posted, someone will help you get there. I really doesn't hurt to re-ask a question. Who knows, we might get a better answer this round. By-the-way, welcome to the MOC. Happy RVing...

Welcome Debbie, just wanted to tell you I love your state. Of the last 4 years, I spent 1 and a half in Boardman. I made alot of good friends there and miss them terribly. Stiles is right, don't wait, just jump in and ask away.

No Mike, but one of our subcontractors did. He was really pleased with the place. The first 8 months there I rented a house in Boardman, then a year later I went back for another 8 months and rented a house in Hermiston. It was easier for me that way to house my crew.

Welcome, Debbie, and congratulations! Feel free to ask questions. That's how all of us learned and are continuing to learn. This is a great place.

See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!

Welcome to the Montana family and to the board. I am a newbie at all of this and they haven't kicked me off the boards yet. This is a great group of posters that love sharing points of views and knowledge.
