Well we had 4 Rv's before the two Montana's all different brands and the only difference was that we used the two Montana's far more then the previous 4. we have traveled over 80K miles between these two Montana's and have lived in them 6 months steady in the winter and at least two months in the summer attending rallies and other travel. I doubt that we put 10K miles on the previous 4 rv's combined over 15 years and never spent more than 2 weeks at a time in any of them. We only used the previous 4 during the warm months usually got them out of storage in March or April and returned them back to storage by Mid September or early October. Or use was weekend camping with our local camping group and if lucky maybe a two week vacation during the summer . We never traveled more than 300 miles to a vacation destination usually less. We had bent axles on a Coachman and a window leak on a Fleetwood.
in 15 years. That we would have such bad luck on two straight Montana's is stretching the odds.

Anyhow on this day December 18, 2014 at 1:54PM everything is working properly on this Montana . Of course we have not moved it and we check under
the camper every time we exit for water running out of the under belly. Helen installed the new door lock yesterday so we have a front door that locks. We are hoping for a trip to Yellowstone this summer not a lot of confidence that we will make it. Our last summer trip was cancelled due to the Montana spending 9 weeks at the dealership.
