1 year Montana ownership anniversary

Well, we hit the one year anniversary mark. In the last year, we have logged 6,000 miles on the rig and have loved every minute of it. We have done a bunch of upgrades, but as for anything breaking or needing replacing, the only items that required replacing were the passenger side propane regulator, the water pump, and (1) new Sailun tire. I want to thank everyone who contributes to helping others on this site for advice, recommendations, and how to diagnose repairs on these rigs. Taking it tomorrow down to San Clemente Beach for the weekend.

Congrats on your anniversary and the success with your Montana. Our first year was full of problems. Some were small, others were somewhat major. But after the first year, everything finally got worked out. The second year was really spent in making self-adjustments for ease, comfort, and "just because". I will say, the second year was more fun than the first. We are in our 3rd year now, and it seems everything, just everything needs a really, really good cleaning. The problem is, we are using the camper (almost) full time, and there's just no opportunity to give it a really, really good bath! Oh the challenges!

Again, congrats!

We got ours and it was 6 months old, but was never used other than for 2 weeks. (That is a fun story..........upset wife thinking she was leaving her husband went out and bought the trailer, put it on a relatives property for 2 weeks, and then got back with her husband....lol and we fell into the deal of a lifetime) From what we were told, one of the rear hydraulic levelers were replaced under warranty. Other than that, it's been very reliable.

Congrats on the anniversary! I've been fulltiming in mine for about 14 months now and love it. We're 9 states into our journey, and have replaced the hydraulic pump, vacuum, sail switch on furnace, ceiling fan motor, stereo, some screws holding various trim both inside and out due to failures. Some DIY, some under warranty with mobile repair folks. Did have to have a bit of metal replaced due to an interaction with a fence post, and I'm eyeing replacing/repairing one of the levelers at some point as it has a weepy seal. Hoping our second year is less fixing, more customizing.

Congrats on the anniversary. When we hit our 1 year mark, I was shocked to find we had put over 25,000 miles on it. I thought the truck odometer had to be off. After reviewing our trips, it calculated out just about right. We've enjoyed ours too. Unfortunately, it's been in the shop for the last 4 weeks, but I'm getting it back tomorrow for a 10 day trip starting this weekend. Can't wait.
We had our last trailer for 6 years and I don't think I ever put that many miles on it the whole time.
