We have a 3811MS with two of those fireplaces. We can only use one at a time. If we have one on and heating, I believe the second one will turn on but not heat.

We have a 2017 Montana 3811MS with a GVWR around 16,800. We are definitely packing too much and too heavy. The last time I weighed it, we were just over 17K loaded. We were on the road for 4+ months...

Actually, it's a 2019 F-350 Crew Cab Long Bed 4x4 Single Rear Wheel (SRW) 6.7 PowerStroke Diesel. It pulls the 17.5K very well even though the nose of the trailer rides just a little high.
