Just purchased ours this spring. We have used it twice, and have plans for a few more trips this summer. We LOVE it. Lots of room, great kitchen and a separate pc desk away from the noise of the tv. The bathroom is great....100% privacy having everything in its own area. Master bedroom has King bed and all preps. I can't say enough. So far no big issues, just new 5er learning curve. Any specific questions PM me. Good Luck

We traded our 08 3400 for a 2010 3455. Aside from some of the newer features, we much preferred the larger, single bath. The 3400 seems to have more storage (2nd closet in master) and hall closet. Since we're weekenders, this wasn't an issue for us.

We really like the double refer as well.

We have a 2010 3455 and we both like it. love the floor plan, haven't seen any we like better especially the galley kitchen and self contained bathroom. Great 40 in.flat screen TV, like the convection microwave and hickory interior. Really like the large rear picture window. Not happy with the Chinese marathon tires, but no issues there yet. Would really like a coat closet near the door, but that is a compromise of the SA. Yes I would buy the same model if I had to do it over again.

I'd have to add that the wife did want the coat closet by the door, but preferred to have the desk instead. I don't like the Chinese Goodyear tires I have, but hopefully will not have issues.

Like others, had to give up the closet at the door for the all enclosed, much larger bathroom. After one week we realized that the bathroom layout on the 3455 is far more important to us than the little closet. We too are enjoying the desk up front in the kitchen area rather than at the back side of the unit.

All of the Montana floor plans are great. We had a tough time deciding. You can't go wrong. Just look at several before the purchase for personal preference. We could have saved a little by buying a particular unit, but I felt if we were going to spend the money get exactly what we want.

When we were looking, we were pretty sure we wanted the 3455SA also. We had already looked at a 3665RE (with the nice double refrigerator), but our local Montanna dealer kept trying to lead us toward the 3400 (with the open bath) - kept talking about all the extra storage and the big entry closet (which would be nice). We were leaning toward the 3455 and actually inquired about ordering one. He told us about a new dealer (who was about 90 miles away) and said we should go look because they had a 3455SA on their lot and then we would see how much better the 3400 was. We ended up liking the 3665RE a little better because of the view to the rear while sitting. We are in a seasonal site backed up a few feet from the Mississippi, so while you are sitting you can see out the back from either the couch or chairs. The 3455SA was close, it's a nice layout.

Bought ours in November and while it's been a real learning experience for us, we are always commenting on how happy we are with the trailer . We've had no problems or issues with the fit, finish , equipment at all. Everything except the sewer boom seems to have been thought out.

just yell out if you need some help, this forum is absolutely the best part of owning a Montana. That and the wife is nice to me again......

We are on our third Montana and ordered each one. This was the first one the dw walked into and said, "Let's trade". We opted for the queen bed for a little more room around the mattress, queens are what we've always had.
We got ours last year and spent the winter in it, love the floor plan.

We have lived full time in ours since purchase in March 2009. Only negative is the depth of the bedroom closet. Larger hangers barely fit in. We chose not to get washer/dryer so use that space as a clothes closet. We added two more racks in the sliding pantry. As we had just purchased a good queen mattress for the Cedar Creek we traded in, we kept it and cut off 4.5 inches of each side of the bed platform. Gives surprisingly lots more room.

All over, we love the kitchen and feel of the unit. At one time we flipped sofa and recliners locations, but then put back as they were. I think I like it this way more. Some sofas do not allow slides to be retracted when flipped, however ours does.
