Montana web site - Dealer stock only?

On the Keystone Montana web site there a few models that show 'Dealer stock only'. Is this the indication that those models are being discontinued?

Well Dave it looks like we own orphans. Three existing models being dropped and two new models. Now we have to pick a new favorite model.

LOL Does this mean the value of our models will rise since they'll become rare

Remember the prototypes we were shown at the fall rally with some new inovations..These could be them. Check out the specs...

It's only an assumption. The Keystone Montana web site shows 'Dealer stock only' for the 2955RL, 3465SA and 3615RE. My original question was, are they being dropped. Two new models were added. The 3100RL and 3700RL.

Yes, the front 1/2 of the new 3700 looks like a pretty sweet layout to us. Can't wait to actually see one hopefully in Feb. Now if we could just add the living/dining rear 1/2 area of our 3455 to the front area of the 3700 we would have the perfect floor plan, maybe. We certainly would never buy the 3700 as it is because we always look for easy access the the fridge and we must have a desk area, perhaps Keystone needs our input?

I just notice the new 3625 as well although not indicated as a new model. Definately a nice little upgrade to the short lived 3615, IMHO.

Rich,

Al and I never saw the prototypes, guess they were not included in OUR tour this year. Not sure why. Were they IN the plant building?? Cause I sure looked at everything OUTSIDE in the parking lot.

Oh, well, at least someone saw them!

It looks like those of us with 2955's are orphans also.

It appears that the 2955 has run it's course, even though it was a very popular model for many years. Maybe it will become a collectors item,

Now I'm really happy I bought the 2955 this year. It fits our lifestyle perfectly and tows great with the F250.

Welcome to the ophans club. Our 3075RL was also orphaned some time back. When I did the informal survey a couple years ago, it was one of the more popular floorplans.

Those new prototypes were not outside.


They are not a secret anymore. They have a arched ceiling

We really love ours. If they are discontinued, I'm really glad we bought ours.

I think Keystone is making a mistake with the rise of fuel prices dropping the 2955RL the lightest model they made? Looks like we'll just have to keep upgrading the Mod's on our old beaters.

Been orphaned twice. Our first Monty was a 2955RL that we got in '02. We replaced it in '08 with a 3075RL. We liked both models but the additional room in the 3075 is REALLY nice...along with the washer/dryer, 2nd AC, built in 5.5K Onan, and solar system.
