What's been your BEST experience in your RV?
As a counter top to the thread about all our screwups, let's share our very favorite experience in our Montanas. Hands down, ours would have to be our trip to Alaska. It was beautiful, intimidating, educational, and generally awesome.

Any day in the Montana is great. Nothing will top the day we pulled her off the lot leaving the dealer when we first got her. You couldn't have blasted the smiles off our faces.
Happy camping.

I have to agree with Michael. The day we got the Monty and park it and made it ours. I felt very, very blessed.
Happy trails......................

Billy Ray, I'm looking forward to the day it is paid off. That might be our best day, too.

The greatest feeling was being 24 years old buying my 2nd Montana. My greatest experience is the time I have been able to spend with my family and friends using the Montana at the lake and on the road. I have been truly blessed!

Yep - I'll have to bet that just about every trip to Alaska is somewhat of an adventure  always more than planned
It's on our itinerary, but not for a couple years yet  . Spent two years in Anchorage as a wee lad (6yo), and can't wait to go back.
Seems like you asked something...
Oh yeh - best trip. Since we are still working and still NOT fulltiming, our best trip is every trip we can get away for a few days!! The rest, relaxation, solitude, quiet, and DARK skies (remember I am an amature astronomer) make these trips (about once a month) always memorable! We have a couple places in Colorado that are just awesome, and one is only an hour from town.

Our Montana is our home away from home...I truly feel at home when we hit the road and stay a week or so in our second home. All of our trips are the best , but I would have to say that the very "Best" is our trip last summer out West to see the National parks...Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Zion National park, and Mesa Verde...it was awesome!

Well we have not had any time in a Montana yet but will start buy ordering a 06 3400RL at the Toledo Rv show in Feb
and will start off in a positive manner by writing a check for it..paid in full. By way of 6 school years of school bus driving and charter bus driving. Paid for the TV also..it was worth it. Helen Retires November 11, I quit driving the bus November 12 and we will be in the RGV a few days later....

The day we bought our TV was a great day and the day we took delivery of our Monty was even better. BUT our greatest RV experience occured at 8:45AM October 20th, 2003. At that time and date we pulled our Monty out of our Briar Hill New York driveway for the last time and headed out on our full timing adventure.

Shirley, we were so impressed with Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon that we hope to return to the Southwest for a longer stay. It is sooooo beautiful there. Our new picture shows us standing by the north rim of the Grand Canyon. We hope to see the south rim some day.

As soon as we got ours we took a respite from winter and went to Florida for a few weeks. It was great to visit with the family and yet not be staying with them but have our own home to go to.

Judy, we also went to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We think that the North Rim is the most scenic. We visited the South rim years ago and it doesn't compare with the North Rim. I thought that I recognized the picture of you and Glen at the North Rim. David got some beautiful pictures there , and especially at sunset when the sun hit the canyon the colors were really vivid.

Our best and worst experience occured during the same trip a few years ago. An eight week trip through the inside passage, visiting BC, Alaska and returning through Jasper National Park. Claudia spent a few days in the hospital with a concussion after a bad fall in BC on the way up, but it didn't spoil my fishing! The next best experience was paying the rig off early two weeks ago and getting the clear title in the mail today.

Best experiences involve our MOC family. The Rally at Minden, meeting MOC members going through Bastrop and spending an evening with them,being able to go at any time (now we are retired). So now we are in the Valley and ready to meet more of our MOC family. We are just enjoying life in general.

My best experience was the 9 weeks I spent in the Mountaineer with Bill while he was recieving radiation and chemo in NYC. Bill has since passed on but I cherish those weeks I had with him out on the banks of the Hudson River.
