New 5ver
Well we finally did it! We saw the 3100RL while we were at Quartzite in January and felt it would be a great floorplan to replace our 03 2955RL. We have looked at a lot of other rigs, including the Montana High Country, Forest River Cedar Creek, but kept coming back to the Montana 3100RL. One of the major considerations was being able to tow the new rig with our current truck; a 1996 F-250 Power Stroke with less than 102K miles. After much hem haw and haggling, we placed an order for a 2013 Montana 3100RL today. We are really looking forward to getting our new Montana. Should be here around the end of June. Woo hoo!

A new rig is always exciting! Hope it's exceeds your expectations and you have many happy times in it. I'll bet you're like kids with Christmas coming ... counting the days.

We just got our Montana 2013 3100RL last week and took it out for a weekend trip. We absolutely love it! We got the mocha decor with the dark brown leather furniture, queen bed, and single refrigerator. We are having the bedroom air conditioner swapped out for a low profile unit so that it will fit in our shop. We've had 2 Laredos and really liked them but I think I'm keeping the Montana 3100RL. Enjoy!

Nothing like the smell of a new rig! Enjoy that new and roomy unit! Come on out to Nebraska for the MOC Central Plains Rally in July if you can work it into your travels. Nothing better than meeting the members of MOC at a Rally and also the experience of enjoying some of our well know Nebraska hospitality! Welcome aboard and many happy travels in that new rig!

Sorry guys. We won't be able to make it next year. The trip we were going to take to baja this year was cancelled. That's why we were able to make it this time. The trip has been rescheduled for next January. Hopefully, we can make it in 2014.

Woo hoo! We have our 2013 3100RL!! It's gorgeous. Love the auto leveling system. Needed to calibrate it though. I called the service manager and he talked me through the procedure. Very simple. Our '96 F-250 PowerStroke is pulling it just fine! I did get AirLift springs and compressor with wireless controller. Now we have to get it all loaded up and ready for our July MMAP project in Darrington, WA. I'll have to get pictures and update our profile. See you all down the road! :-)

We did get AirLift airbags and onboard air compressor with the wireless controller. Also got a new brake controller...Tekonsha Prodigy P3 proportional. Big difference from my old Voyager. Thanks.

Love that floor plan Jim&Fran, especially the functionality of the TV location.

Congrats on your new Montana. Wife and I just took delivery of a new 2012 Mountaineer 326RL two weeks ago. It's pulled by a 97 F350 Powerstroke. Trailer is great (so far)we really like the floor plan of the 326 as it's very similair to the 3150 Montana but about 700 lbs lighter. As far as the truck highly considering a 2013 F350 Dualie.
