I called customer service & talked with Kara Parish a pleasant friendly lady. I told here what I was looking for and with the Vin# she pulled up the Monty. It is a list of everything the Monty left the factory with and weights???.
Our Monty left the factory with the Moving to Montana Package, the Value Package & the Artic Insulation Package. She said the Monty has a GVWR of 13960-- exactly what it say on the sticker.
Now the info sheets states that the shipping weight is 11580 which is 200lb more than what the 05 Montana broucher lists 11380lb before options. Here is what I recieved

With all these options I can see why before I'm loaded (not me ) the camper is already close to the GVWR
I thought alot of this was added after the fact but was instead at the factory.
I do have the 4 slide awnings, 2nd air and probably a few extra things not mentioned here
This has been very challenging trying to figure all these weights. More just out of curiosity than anything.
thanks again
