Thanks, Montana

Really. In mid-June, we hit a terrible piece of highway coming out of Louisville, Kentucky. Heavy traffic, going speed limit, it felt like the truck lifted in the air and slammed back to the ground. There were car and truck parts spread over several lanes, and vehicles stopped on the sides of the road looking at their damage. I'm trying to say "It was bad". Went through same area the other way the next day, the state of Kentucky had lane or lanes closed with men working.

Yes, of course it was concrete.

We made it to our stop a few miles down the road. There was some minor damage on the sides of the front closet where it had been pushed up towards the roof. Latches holding the closet closed were broke, edges of the mirrored doors were slightly bent. A few other small things but nothing to end the trip- I hoped.

When we hooked up and left, it was obvious the 5er was damaged. The roads were OK, but any bumps would make the 5er "porpoise". Got on the phone with Montana, the next dealer was in Mayfield, KY.

Long story short, Montana stepped up and paid for all parts, and 1/2 the repair labor. This is a 3400rl we bought new in November, 2005.

The dealer( Youngbloods) handled all communication with Montana.

This was the first major problem (besides tires) we've had in 30,000 towing miles. This week, I'm going to crawl underneath and look at the spring shackles.
