Bill & Linda starting a new adventure

We have been boaters for many years and have many wonderful memories cruising the waters of Washington and British Columbia from our homeport of Lynden, WA. Having raised 4 daughters and a son, all married and living in Washington, Ohio, Missouri and Mississippi. Finally decided we would spend some of our retirement time traveling to the East and see our kids and grandkids. Our goal is to leave the PNW in September and return in March to prep the boat for another cruising season. Looking forward to learning what life is like living in our FW and seeing more of our beautiful country.

WELCOME ABOARD a new adventure and you have found a great place to learn more about this new adventure. If you have questions, ask away! If you can give some advice on a question asked here jump in there and do so. Since will be starting your adventure in September think about joining us at the National Fall Rally in Goshen, IN. It's a great place to learn more about your rig, ask questions there and meet folks that are also Montana owners. Just watch for more info on the Fall Rally here on the Forum over the next few months.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on picking up a Montana to help enrich your life style. I hope you have a wonderful time with your kids and grandkids. Arriving is so sweet, departing is so painful. But that's the way it just has to be.

Happy Camping! Welcome.

Happy Camping! Welcome.
When I went out to look for a large pickup camper with a slide out I located a couple that seemed ideal for "our" needs. One in particular was 11' and had 2 slide outs and weighed in at about 4400# which seemed ideal for my dually. While looking at the camper my wife was looking at FW's. From that point on pick up campers were "off the table" and FW's were on it. We started looking and asking questions, studied various forums and dealers websites trying to educate ourselves in what we wanted and the size needed to accomplish the goal. After spending about 3 months "in school" learning we stumbled onto a locally owned 2005 Keystone Montana that had been stored indoors it's whole life except when on a trip. The couple made about 9 trips with it and a couple of weekends camping locally. Pretty much been in storage for the past 6-7 years. Price was very fair and after the wife saw it I decided to buy it. He even thru in a FW hitch which I mounted in my truck and towed it to my shop to check all the systems out. Have until June it get my truck ready for towing it and have the FW all "tuned up" and ready for traveling. Looking forward to visiting all the kids (5) and grandkids (12) now. Truck should be up to it as it's spent many a trip towing my 15k boat & trailer.

Oh we have been there in the past for Thanksgiving or Christmas and we know the weather then and were glad to board our plane home too. With the Monty this time we'll stop for a few weeks in September then head for Nashville for a week and onto Missouri for 2-3 weeks before spending a month around the Gulfport area. I want to enjoy some warm weather before heading west and towards home. Figured we'll be home by February and start getting the boat ready for another cruising season.
