3150FL w/BIG SKY FULL BODY PAINT
Wow! We looked at one yesterday in Lake Havasu City. (Drool...slobber) That was one attractive coach. Especially with the 6-point leveling system. Oh well, I just about have my 3075RL the way I want it so I had to pinch myself to wake up and go home.
Maybe next month when the Mega-Millions is due again....

Brad, you have a great looking trailer now! You don't want to go through the hassle of moving everything from one to the other anyway right?
Have a good weekend.

That's one problem Keystone hasn't figured out yet. By not allowing a lot of factory options we make a lot of mods. Once I get mine where I totally want it, I'm too old to start over again.

Wish I could get my wife to feel the same way.

Full body paint is not only very good looking, it is extremely durable and is not subject to the fiberglass fading we normally get.

O.K. Brad I am confused. The title of this topic is "3150FL w/BIG SKY FULL BODY PAINT". The 3150 is *NOT* a Front Living Room (FL) model. Did you meant to type "3750FL....."????

Guess I missed the reference to a Front Living Room. Re full body paint, saw several manufacturers with full body paint options. That sure solves aging graphics. Also saw several that looked full body, but were really just vinyl graphic. More vinyl than paint.

OK...OK...OK Another case of "CRS". That coach was a XXXXFL with the lounge in front and the bedroom in back. Sorry for the confusion.

Great floorplan. Really like ours but opted for the gel coated exterior rather than the full body paint. Waiting for time to go by and tell me which one is better.

Have full body paint on my 2011 Big Sky 3580RL and love it. Also love the 6 Point Lippert Leveling System and G Range tires that came with the package.

Fell in love with 3402 Big Sky last year at Goshen. Trying to shake off the fever. Beautiful and easy. Wow!

We could not resist the 3402 Big Sky and have one on order. Should get it by the end of April although we are in no hurry . Saw one at the rally and Helen said she had ti have the big fridge and I had to have the extra vanity and sink and the 6 point leveling syetem. The full body paint was a no brainer after all the graphic issues. Actually the full body paint did not cost much more than a new set of better graphics. It had better be all it is advertised to be...

Ok Montana folk, please unconfuse me. I was under the impression Keystone discontinued the Big Sky and made it an OPTION same as the "moving to montana and hickory edition" packages. Is there a Big Sky or are we calling a sexed up Montana a Big Sky.

They can call it what ever they want but there is night and day difference between the Big Sky and what they are calling the Big Sky package.

IMO. The big sky was always a dressed up Montana. For short awhile they built the Big Sky in a seperate plant down the road then they built them on the same line as the regular.Montana.Just like today every Montana started life as a "montana" and turned into a Big Sky. The difference now is the Big Sky is only built on order. When walking down the assembly line Montana # 5 on the line may be a 3400 Montana and Montana #6 right next to it may be a 3400 Big Sky. It was always that way.

we have had our 3402 Big Sky for 11 months now. It has the same issues of any of the Montana's. We are taking chips in the paint on the front of the unit. The paint is thin. We will be spending some bucks for some diamond shield to protect the paint. The 6 point leveling system is worth the money but you can get that on any Montana.G614 tires...yes. The struts are pulling out of the compartment doors. It is pretty tho we get plenty of Comments Most do not know it is a Montana as it looks like a higher $$ unit.

I looked at a number of alternatives to stop the rock chips. I decided to try mudflaps and they have solved the problem. Not the stock Ford (or other vendor) truck mounted flaps, but ones that mount in the rear hitch. They cover more area and you can mount them close to the ground to minimize the exposure angle. Much less expensive than diamond plate or Rhino spray on, lighter, and you can remove them when not towing.

Whatever you wish to call it, Big Sky or Big Sky "PACKAGE", we like our 3750FL, especially with the "SEXED UP" blue lights.
