Just wondering why this model was Discontinued. We absolutely love ours. Does anyone know why, and if so, was it a good reason or a bad one.

I often wonder the same about our 3585SA. It is absolutely perfect for our lifestyle, but was also discontinued for 2013. Glad we got ours when we did!

They discontinued our model also. If they make slight changes, it becomes a new model.

Same here now with our 3455SA model. But we guess the numbers must really drive their game plan!!!

If they didn't keep changing models they feel they couldn't sell as many new rigs. Just like the auto makers, something new every year.

Is it possible with all the Fram Flex going on that there is a design flaw in the models discontinued and is getting to expensive to do warranty repairs for Keystone to keep producing these units?

Just because they quit producing a certain model does not relieve them of warranty responsibilities. I would not think it would effect their decision in doing work beyond the warranty period as some have been successful in getting them to do. They are more warranting the Montana name then the model number. I think it more like others have said, numbers and enhancements drive the game. JMHO Jim

You can be assured if they were making money on a model it would not be discontinued.
