That online pdf brochure has the new graphics on the cover FW and also is where I found the tested to zero information. I also downloaded it. If anyone wants to download it directly, here's the link.

Be aware this is 3.3mb so you may not want to download it if on dialup... or start it and have dinner while you wait.

See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!

Nice looking rigs...that rear kitchen bears a striking resemblance to our setup.
Maybe someday when we grow up and I don't need my truck for work we can look at a 5'er...

Like the way they use the extra wide angle lens to make them look twice as large as they really are.. Also the 3400 shrunk back down to 37.3 for 2007... Mine is bigger than yours....

Darn,
I was really hoping Keystone would have changed the bedroom around for 2007. I still like the full width closet, tv cabinets, and over head cabinets above the window in my 04 better.

Another thing I noticed in the brochure and in a coach on dealerships lot, the heading over the closet doors are not low enough. There is a gap between the top of the mirrored door and the tracks in which they slide. One would have thought that Keystone would have used a lower "valance" to cover up that gap. Just something I noticed while looking at the 07 model.

Is it just me, or do the tires on the new Montana's look cheap?? I noticed that as well while looking at a new 3400RL, they do not look as sturdy as the Tacoma tires on my coach. Not sure if it is the wheels that give that effect or if the tires just dont look like they are up for the job at hand??

I want one where I can take some of the new stuff and some of the old stuff. I like my bedroom better but I do notice a light in the closet. I like my gold shower. I like my graphics. But I wish I had the change in the furnace and the extra cupboard in the LR side of the island. I like change in the overhead cabinets over the rear window. I like the new sink covers. I also think they changed the pantry but couldn't tell from pictures, So, can I have one????

Shucks I have dial-up so I won't be looking at the brochure.

Sue,

If you can talk the parrot into it I bet you can have a 2007 model

Montana Sky · 08-04-2006, 07:27 AM

I also noticed the brochure has changed the weight of the hi-gloss. It now claims it adds approx. 200 lbs to the coach. Sure wish I had known that back in 2004. =)

Does anyone know what the new colors are going to be for 2007/8?? I am hoping to see something other than the brown exterior decals. Maybe a 2nd color option for carpet as well, I really like my dark merlot carpet. Helps keep those little spots hidden. Just a few thoughts.....

On the 3400 they moved the air return to under the stairs and then put a shallow cupboard on the LR side of the island. Actually this was a 2006 change.

Sue,
I am with you, I would like to have that extra cabinet where our furnace is located. Would make a great liquor cabinet. =)

Someone at the Shasta Rally uses it for just that. I also saw it used for the vacuum tools and hose. Anyway I would like to have it.
You guys who have the newer units gained on that one.

Thanks for the brochure link Steve. Oddly enough, I have dial up and didn't have time for dinner while it loaded!!! Pleasant surprise!

The new brochure had a good picture of the Venetian Gold couch, and I oohed and aahed at all the pix.

Here you go Sue. Hope this is what you were looking for.

LR side cupboard:

(BTW, these were almost ripped off as Cheryl was opening the slides after our 7 hr trip from the dealership. Fortunately, she heard something bad and stopped immediately. Door had come open during the trip. The only one. Minor wood damage - superglue will fix.

LR side cupboard - open:

Access panel for the HW heater on bottom. Top shelf goes 2/3 of the way though - access panel on kitchen side. I assume for the HW heater again?

Pantry (Lower): (Don't mind the laundry in the background)

Pantry (Upper):

Pantry (Open):

The very bottom shelf is only 3-4 inches deep (furnace behind). All the other shelves (one shelf in the middle of each cupboard) are approx 9 inches deep. Tons of storage.

Thanks Dave. Doesn't look like they changed the pantry unless you have some extra shelves in the middle and top one. BTW that narrow bottom shelf is great for bottles of wine or for cereal boxes. I think that access panel on the kitchen side is the access to the Freeze Guard winterizing system. Ours in on the LR side where your cupboard is. We sit plants in front of it as we will never use it. I wish Keystone made that an option.

They only have one cupboard right in the middle of each cupboard. Can't imagine it being to hard to put in extra shelving. Thanks for the heads up, Sue, on what's behind the access panels. We will never use our winterizing system either.

We were at our dealership today, and the salesman gave us a 2007 brochure. So they are available now. Yes, I like the Venetian Gold decor too!!!!

... And nickels, dimes, and quarters...

Actually with the wife being a waitress, it gives us a great opportunity to build up a savings in coins. One of those containers is used for each denomination of coin.
