Our 2010 326RLT was our 3rd RV in the last 40 yrs and our 1st 5th wheel. We loved it when we bought it new and we still love it. We've had all of the usual issues - 4 tire issues in 4 years with $3800 skirt damage from the first one. Replaced 4 tires & rims with P215/75R-17.5 Goodyear G114 16 ply. Replaced roof tape on 2 of the 3 slides - not sealed down where it went over screws. Montanna sign pealed off front the first year - they wouldn't warranty it, so removed it, they don't need to know who made it. Both ends of pipe detached in middle of steps. Replaced awning motor 2 yrs ago. Staples in W/D closet came loose - shored up with a hickory 1 X 6 - stronger now than ever. Spare tire rack started to sag so removed and strengthened with 1 1/2" angle iron.

Also added some improvements like washer/dryer, keyless entry, motion porch light, TPM monitors, 3500W inverter, large dry cell batteries, water filters and water softner.

We've been shopping. We've seen bling in other brands but still like Montanna. We like some new Montannas but keep comparing to what we have. After 8 years of getting the bugs out of ours, it's going to have to be a good one to get me to trade. We like our floor plan but would like washer/dryer in center like the 3720 or the 3811. But we have to be able to get into the bathroom and fridge with the slides closed. And we don't want anything over 36-37 feet. Like a washer/dryer in the center of RV but only room for 1 combo, not 2 side/by side. And put a desk in with drawers and go back to the narrower fireplace to make room for the desk. The heat duct in the fireplace is only 1 foot wide X 5" high.
