This goes back to one of my original thoughts; where's the "prints". You never build anything without prints. Prints allows everyone to be on the same page. Everyone then knows where to go, what to look for, and finally how to fix it. When this last step is completed the prints then are updated. Keystone needs to step into to the real world on building. Drop the gimmick of "old world craftsman" and start making a better attempt of producing quality products.
I've not had any major problems as others. I did see a water line that may prove to need tightening before it becamoes a problem. But as I continue to dream about longer or extended trips I also look at other rvs. These rvs may be apples to oranges but I don't know if I would buy another Montana if I were to use it as others are. Full time or Long Time. I would want better, safer (frame flex), and no bull such as "we've never seen that or we've never heard that". Don't insult my knowledge. This attempt to pass the buck is going to cost Keystone their position in the RV market. State the facts fix the problems. Charge for your product. Make a profit. This seems to be my take on business as it should be. This is how we do business and we keep going.
The following is just one example of many posted here on the forum.

Lippert was going to talk to Keystone about placement....
Granted this may be all hype. It was on-the-spot engineering by those guys, but it does make some sense that if the strip does not have room to fold properly, it would put improper stress on the area that is cracking/breaking. The other side just lays against the frame when closed.
Every one of the broken/cracked strips I saw at the rally measured to indicate improper placement, i.e., too far forward. If this bears out to be true, then Keystone has an assembly problem rather than a design problem.
