See you guys at the show, the DW and I will most likely be there on Thursday checking out the new Montana's. Also we are very interested in the ARV's hope they will be there. I think it is time for us to upgrade.

There are usually Montana reps from Goshen there. This is a chance to meet and talk to them.

We will be there Thursday. We are only about one hour away so we go most every year. We have been to Rv shows all over the country and this is one of the very best. Montana has a good display and many Keystone/Montana reps are there.

Well we arrived on 301 at the gates around 9am, they didn't have any open off the 301, sat in a lineup on the 301 for an hour and a half and moved about 400 yards. They opened a gate off the 301 behind us around 10:30am, our line was still about 400 yards from Martin Luthier. I managed to turn around and about 10minutes later pulled into the site paid for parking then waited in line for another hour to pay to get in too the show. Organizers really need to get some gates opened to prevent the long waits in vehicles and the traffic mess. The show itself was great......

I guess I don't understand, we got there at just a few minutes after 9 this morning, pulled right in, parked, walked up and got tickets and right in, no line anywhere until you got inside the fairgrounds.

We left Riverview on the 301 at about 10;30. NO TRAFFIC PROBLEM AT ALL DROVE RIGHT IN PAID TO PARK AND TOOK A TRAM TO GATE 3 PAID AND WENT IN NICE AS CAN BE. FORGOT WHAT GATE WE WENT IN AND AND HAD TO RIDE A TRAM AROUND FOR OVER 2 TRIPS THROUGH THE PLACE TO FIND WHERE WE CAME IN. CAN'T BLAME THEM FOR MY STUPIDITY. DROOLED OVER SOME A RV'S AND THE dw liked the front living room Montana until I showed her the small basement. She liked the from living room Montana as well. We will go again tomorrow. Leaving the checkbook home though.

You likely got there right after they opened the gates on 301 for us that were they a little earlier we were sitting in a line on the right hand side stuck. If I had not turned around after noticing in the mirrors that the gate opened 200 yards behind us we would have been in the line another hour likely as nothing was moving on Martin L blvd,

Geez people, I keep coming back to this thread to view feedback on what you saw, models, what you thought of new features and opinions on other manufacturers and all I see is about various traffic situations????JMHO.

All the new Montana and High country models, Most had residential fridgs. I thought the prices were a bit lower than previous years.

Personally for us nothing stood out as Wow that would have us change trailers, there was a Cedar Creek that we liked that had the rear den, the bathroom was pretty awesome in that lots of room. The other standout for us was the Momentum that had full paint loaded up that has the smaller toy hauler option under the king bed. Other than that IMHO our current unit the 3790RD fits us best and I will say I like our 2015 model better than the new 2017 model in many ways. Bathroom door, sliding pantry shelving etc.... the only thing I liked better on the new model is the stair treads to the bathroom/bedroom area and living areas are not carpet.

I guess the other thing I could mention is we bought the new Wineguard WiFi Internet system as it was on sale for $499 and they threw in a Rayzar V1 TV antenna with it. Simple to hook up, I didn't want to drill holes in the roof so I made up a temporary removable mount and then I mounted the router in the front storage area beside the swingout Television & satellite receiver. I must say with the 3 antenna's it sees about 100 wifi signals however most are password protected. We now have 5 bars though on the RV Park signal where we only had 2 and sometimes none. Another nice feature is the dual firewalls for security when tied to an open public wifi.... overall will need to get a little more time in and move to another couple parks before providing a better review but for now seems to be working and ease of set up is a bonus. Pricey but may be well worth it over long run

Was at the show on Thursday arrived at 8:30am no line no waiting to get a entry ticket, just had to wait for the gates to open. Was at the Montana site, Rich our paths had to cross I didn't see you there but I wasn't really looking for you either. Was not impressed with the fare offered by Heartland or Forest River and the Redwoods...... they should be ashamed. The KZ products that the DW and I looked at I thought were real nice. The ARV Luxe nice but for the price??? I thought Spacecraft was awesome to bad I can't afford one JMO.
