For those that are adding a beefed up hitch to their units, you might want to check with Keystone and Lippert if you can without voiding your frame warranty. The last I heard and that was last year at the MOC Fall Rally, if you have a hitch and want to add a heavier one you would void the frame warranty. In fact, even after the original warranty is expired on your unit the frame warranty continues.
I'll be checking this out again next month when we're at the Fall Rally because I would like to add one to my 2013 unit but previously were told that it could not be added and if I did it would void my warranty. We'll see what they say this year.

Our Montana did not come with a rear hitch and I wanted to put one on the year we purchased it (2014) and I asked about it at the Fall Rally that year. Some of the Montana's come with or came with a dinky small hitch (1 1/2")that was suppose to be for a bicycle rack and from what I've seen and have been told that hitch is worthless. I was told by Lippert (LCI) it could not be put on our unit and if I had someone manufacture one, like a welding shop, it would void my frame warranty. I wanted to put a two inch hitch in the middle on the unit with a smaller hitch coupler or even a piece of square tubing on each side for more stability I don't know the exact years of warranty from Lippert on the frame but I'm guessing it is around 10 years but it could be less. Like I said in my original post, I'm going to check with Lippert again next month at the Fall Rally and see what they say this time.

Extra bar on the screen door along with Lexan panels over the screen. Added outside receptacles to the front as well as moved the outdoor shower to the right front instead of the left storage compartment. Swivel wheel cart to the back for the Polaris Razor. Ordered New Sailun S637.

I think this is where they fasten a pvc corner post for a fence to the bumper for dump hose storage. We bought an actual hose storage thing which is attached to the bumper, but a lot of people swear by fence posts.

Frame Warranty
Last I heard was Lippert frame warranty is one year. Check the threads on frame cracks and Lippert denials both this forum and others. LCI makes almost all the frames for all manufacturers.

The fence post is for extra sewer hose but i have a 6'' pvc pipe about 7.5 feet long that i strapped underneath by rig held up to the frame with caps on both ends. I installed 4'' gutter inside the pipe to hold the hose and help the hose stay straight when stuffing it back in the pipe. My pipe was installed about 3 feet past the spare tire and you can retrieve the hose from either end.This is the hose i use everyday and i store my spare in the factory holder. Works great.

I installed:
-2 under kitchen sink H&C
-2 under bath sink H&C
-2 behind basement wall that go to the shower H&C
-2 behind basement wall that go to washer/dryer (permanently closed since I don't have a washer/dryer & so I don't have to winterize those lines any more)
-I also put a 90 in the line to the black tank flush line to eliminate the one way valve that many have had problems with (some flooding there camper)
-I also put a 90 on the fresh water drain line and ran it out to the camper edge to a valve so you can drain it without crawling under the camper.

I do not know exactly. Without measuring and from memory, they are about 4-5" long, white in color and the valve part you grasp onto to turn is around an 1-1 1/4" wide. I believe I got them at lowes. They weren't cheap, around $11 each.
