Graphics Missing
I was looking at RVT.com for 5th wheel prices and I was surprised to see many Montana's with the front graphics missing all together. All different years and models. It really stands out. It seems Keystone has the biggest problem. Maybe the company should take a peek to see how there units stand out when someone is looking and starts to question why.You think they would be a little embarrassed,but I doubt it.

It certainly isn't good advertising

If ours go bad you can bet something else is going to be painted on and it won't refer to Keystone.

Hopefully they have solved the problem on the newer units. But not uncommon to see peeled decals or blank white fronts on other brands also.

Montana graphics have always seemed to deteriorate quicker than most other brands.

My '04 Keystone Cougar never had any problems with the graphics. No cracking or fading, certainly no peeling. I didn't do anything special. I washed and waxed the camper as I do this one. I don't deliberately go over the graphics with wax, but I don't necessarily avoid them either. This 2010 is not looking good. I guess it's true what dieselguy says. The problems started in '05. I'm still not clear on what I'll do about them, because I'm getting no love from Keystone or my dealer and I sure as heck am not springing for more Keystone graphics. Probably paint something unrelated like Dick says.

Keystone has gone to a new graphics company and they are SUPPOSEDLY a better quality graphic. Time will tell.

In my resort right now their are 2 5th's with wasted graphics,a Hitchiker and a Wildcat, the Montana Graphics problem was fixed years ago ,this is an old issue in about 2012 or 2011 they changed vendors and are great, traded my 2012 and they were like brand new and on my 2015 they got even better if you look real close at them they are thousands of perforated holes in them to let them breath and that is why I do not wax the Graphics,Give Keystone a little credit for at least finally nipping that in the bud

Jimmy, I hope you are right but not sure you have had either unit long enough to know if the problem has been fixed. Mine didn't start peeling until year 8 but it was also stored inside for the first 6 years.

True,but have you looked at the new Graphics?? you can see and feel the difference,I had a 2004 Big Sky and sold it in 2011 and the front graphics were starting to peel but if you saw and felt the graphics like I have on 3 Monty's you can tell they are better Quality

My 2006 3400 graphics never under cover held up well through 2011 started to peal and shrink in year 2012 and literally began to fall off the unit in 2013. We had a mostly new set from Keystone but never installed them as we considered it putting bad after bad.
