How Far Can You Go ??

Let's try a little pole here. How many miles have you got on your Montana???

We've got about 12,000 miles on a 03 3670RL.

Gruffy it is just hard to tell.

I bought my Montana used. I bought my truck used with 54000 and I now have 93000. The majority of the miles have been with Monty.

I can at leat remember at least 20000 on the Montana but it could be 30000. Sorry I can give you an exact figure. Have no idea what the other owners did since I bought it from a Montana dealer.

No odometers on Monty.

Gruffy

We have around 60,000 - 65,000 on ours. We bought it new. Several times to the West coast and up in the North East. We are on our second set of tires. Have had very little problems with ours. Just do the normal maintenance on the trailer. It should last you several years.

Our 03 3280RL has 14,039 as of last week. I keep a log of daily miles when we travel. Even if it's the 100 miles to the dealer for service/repairs.

Somewhere between 15,000 and 25,000, best guess. The Montana is 25 months old.

We also keep track of every mile the Montana covers--figure that it will be useful for something eventually. For now it is interesting to note that we have 7,812 miles from the time we took delivery in May. WOW! 12K in 8 weeks--we need to hear details of that one!! Quite an accomplishment.

Right in the same lot. Not our original plans, but sometimes plans change. We have moved into a different site though.

I figure 2250 from the factory to dealer, and we've logged 2146 since taking delivery for a total of 4396 miles. Not much considering its age. But we're fortunate to live in an area where we don't have to go far to enjoy it. My old truck only has 58,000 miles.
