2012 3750FL Shake Down Cruise
Shake Down Cruise...this past weekend. New Montana 3750FL is all we thought it would be - Great. One small dark point - Grey is actually Black and Black is actually Grey thankfully the second Grey is really Grey! You'd think the people putting these things together would know that! Minor label change and its all good.

It is a great trailer! One word of advice ... get some "pool noodles" and cut them into about 12" pieces so that you can put them on the corners of the living room slides (one vertical and one horizontal) on each corner. This will undoubtably save your skull from the scars that I carry with me every day.

Thanks all. Good idea Moutard2 - already have one lump and don't want any more. The very best to you and yours. See you on the highway.

My labels were wrong, too. Mine is a 2011, so after a year, they still can't get it right. That's OK....everything else was great. Congrats and enjoy.

We have a question for the 3750 owners. The under belly storage seems quite a bit less than the other models. Did you have a problem with that and how did you compensate?
Thanks for your answers!

Yes I have a problem getting all my "stuff" into the storage areas on the 3750FL. Fortunately I have a crew cab so a lot goes into the truck (lawn chairs, tripod, etc.). I stack storage containers in the belly. You'll compensate one way or another. It is a bit of a pain though but the floorplan is what we wanted so we lost the huge storage that the other models have.

I have the same amount of "stuff" in the new rig that we carried in the 3400 other than the portable satellite dish. There is a large storage bay beneath the bedroom slide that holds a surprising amount of "stuff". I have two recliner type chairs, two folding rocking chairs, a dining canopy, a portable hammock, Bocce set, washers game, Baggo corn-hole game, Jim Fischer drying rack, folded 8x20 awning carpet, and a couple of folding side tables in that area. All of that was in the basement in the 3400, but since it has it's own storage area, I now have room for a fridge in the basement!! I think there is a little bit less cubic footage of storage, but we haven't missed it. Oh, and to the OP congrats on a good maiden voyage!! Ditto all on the mis-labeled tanks!!
