I have an 08 3400RL (Mfg'd 5/07) and the heat works as you described. Only when it has been 98 degrees and we set up around 2:30-3:00 p.m. did I have problem cooling down, but after sundown, and from there on, it would keep cool.

With the heater, it just keeps cycling and cycling. Finally bought a supplemental electric heater and it alleviated that problem. My next step would have been to redirect the heat from the duct to the bedroom. I'd roast in there and freeze in the LR.

Good luck.

Edited: They can say all they want about "Artic package," but when it is hot outside, you can put your hand on the wall and just feel the radiation of heat transferring into the unit. I have no idea of what type of insulation they use, but it's not good. They really need to invest in installing a good radiant barrier. There is a paint that can reduce radiant heat better than what is in the Montana.
