Welcome to the MOC and congrats on your new Montana. Being from northern NY I can understand why you can't use it. But you gotta do like Lorraine and I did. Come to Florida. NO freezing cold, frost or snow down here.
Lorraine and I are from Black Lake. Just a bit further north than Oswego.
Keep an eye on the
North American MOC/Northeast Region thread as FredG is trying to get a late spring early summer rally going in your area. A rally is a great way to get to meet a lot of other MOCers up close and personal.
Just this past weekend Lorraine and I were looking at the 3685FL. It's is a beautiful rig and one that we will be considering if and when we decide to upgrade
As far as suggestions, you will get plenty from the MOC members. For me I have just one and it may well be the easiest one. Enjoy that new Montana.
