Sad Day - Montana Owners Club

Bill and Lisa · 03-19-2023, 02:31 PM

We dropped our beloved 2007 Montana 3000RK at a dealership yesterday as part of a trade in on a new rig. Unfortunately, it will not be a montana. Couldn't find one that we could tow that met our needs (really liked the HC 381TB but hitch weight was too high for our TV).

We will still check in from time to time as the folks here are great.

Happy Travels

I have the same truck as you. Curious what trailer you went with?

Bill & Lisa what are you getting?

Congrats on your new camper. We traded our Keystone Outback travel trailer for our current MHC more than 4 years ago. I used the Outbackers.com forum a lot when we had the Outback. When we got the Montana, I stopped using that forum and drifted more over to the Keystone and Montana forums sponsored by Life Pro. But, I do occasionally go back and catch up on that forum. Pretty much the same discussions occur over there on that forum as they do here. So, don't disappear completely. We all have too much in common.

I plan on coming back because there is a lot of good information that is applicable no matter what type of rig you have. Thanks for the congrats!

I pull a 40' 3750FL with my 2006 GMC 2500HD Duramax Allison Trans and have no problem!

Darn.. I'm looking to replace my 3000RK
Mine is used heavily..
Looking for a lightly used 3000RK to remodel..
My alternative at this point is a northwoods 29-5K

We have a 2007 3500RL that we are looking at parting with this year.
Medical issues with my wife has caused us to make new traveling adjustments.
Everything works and has new axles and tires recently installed and a lot of interior upgrades.
We are located in Monterey, California area.

We too have traded in our 2015 Montana in for a new Alpine fifth wheel. Our Montana got rearended by some young people that feel asleep at one in the afternoon. At one point I had sworn I would not buy another Keystone product because of the problems that we had had with our Montana and the way Keystone treated us. I should have listened to myself, but we didn't and have had even more problems with the new fiver. We are squared away for now and hope we will be lucky from here on out. I have learned alot being a member here and thank everyone for their input. We will continue to monitor the Forum for the good and useful information. Thank you again.

I had the same problem. I wanted a new 285rld Montana Mountaineer no longer made. I don’t know why Montana is making such large rigs. There is a market for the smaller rigs. We travel a lot a national parks in like the smaller size. What an arctic fox.
