I'll buy that, but a new fridge /disc brakes /more ride independent suspension /and a new RV armor roof is probably around 20 grand or less. Around one quarter of the price of a new unit.

Congrats guys! our 2007 3000Rk is getting long in the tooth and we hope to be purchasing a new 5er in the next year (got the truck upgrade last year). I had to laugh about the decals, ours our horrible and I still don't have them all off. I also have a box of new decals in my closet that will go to the next owner. Right now we are leaning toward Grand Design 390RK. Only thing close in the Montana line (where Lisa can be in the kitchen and see what is going on in the living room) is the Front kitchen model but the "cook" has her back to the living room most of the time. There are definitely some new "standard" feature on new model years rigs that will be nice. No real complaints on our Montana but it is getting old and from what I read on this forum, QA has slipped since the pandemic. Montana is not the only brand to be experiencing this issue.

I don't recall if it even has wet bolts but it has no other upgrade like Montanas. The pin box is basic. Those are just a few of the components that comes to mind. Most of the other issues that cropped up are similar to issues that our Montana has.

I suppose I got lucky on that one.
