Since we are only about 20 minutes from Myrtle Beach (near Calabash, NC), I would LOVE to come and meet you. We ordered our 3685FL and have yet to take delivery (probably around July 23). I manage a golf course and can usually arrange my schedule to fit what would be most convenient for you. It would be be wonderful to speak to a Montana owner in person,,,,, and especially to one who already has the model we're getting.

Sorry I missed your post Janette. We left for Myrtle Beach on the 10th and I don't have internet capibility in the camper so I just read it today.
Only 20 minutes from Myrtle Beach!
My wife would love to live that close. She is a sun worshiper and loves the beach.
You'll really love the new Montana. It has a ton of room and is really comfortable to stay in if the weahter is inclement. Hope you get it on the date they said you should. We were 12 weeks waiting for ours to arrive. That was 4 weeks more than we were initially told.
We had a great time at Myrtle Beach Travel Park. Hardly any golf carts there to run you over! They don't allow transients to bring golf carts. Only the permanents are allowed to have them and they don't drive all over the park all day long.
At Ocean Lakes and Lakewood, we were nearly hit on several occasions trying to cross the street by teenagers driving along the beach drive. They just didn't want to stop to let you across. I got tired of dodging them. When we found the Travel Park didn't allow the carts we decided to try it.
We were only 4 sites from the beach so walking to it was not an issue.
Everything went well until Saturday morning. We planed to leave early Saturday morning so we packed everything Friday night. The only things left to do was to flush the sewage tank, bing in the slides, disconnect the electric, hook up the truck, and we would be on our way. I did leave two coolers on the seat of the picnic table because I didn't want my grandson to fall over them if he had gotten up in the night to use the bathroom. One cooler was full of bottled water and the other with beer. When I opened the door at 5am to go flush the black tank the first thing I noticed was the beer cooler was missing. I thought my brother-in-law had moved it as a joke but that wasn't the case. Someone stole the whole cooler.
It had to be more than one person because it was one of the Coleman 5 day 70 quart coolers filled with beer and ice. Guess I'll have to start chaining everything down no matter where we go. This was the second time someone has stolen some of my beverages. The last time was Memorial Day weekend 2003 at Virginia Beach. Someone took a couple of alcohol beverages out of the cooler there but I didn't notice it until I returned from the trip.
Outside of the cooler incident we had a fantastic time. We booked next year for same two weeks.
Sorry for such a long post. The cooler thing really buggs me!
