New Owner in Arkansas
Hi everyone, we are Paul and Tracy Bridges in Fort Smith, Arkansas. We purchased our first 5th wheel in a 2004 Montana 3575RL. She really liked the layout and it seemed to be in excellent condition and a great value.
Although we are new to the 5er, we also have a 1958 Rainbow that my grandfather bought new. I've got a blog on the Rainbow at 1958rainbow.blogspot.com that chronicles the history.
The Rainbow is a little small for full-timing, and we are preparing for retirement by spending most of our time in the Montana.
The forum has already been a help trying to figure out how things work that we didn't get in orientation when we bought it. But it seems like a solid RV and hope we have many years in it. Grateful for the forum.

Welcome from Arazona, the Rainbow looks like the perfect weekend trailer. Be safe and enjoy your rig and retirement.

Welcome to the MOC. That rainbow looks really sweet! Do you have any pictures of the inside? On a side note, you might want to make the pictures a little smaller in pixel size.

Welcome from snowy (at least tonight) Colorado. Our first Montana was a 3400, nice floor plan. Good luck and may you have many trouble free miles.
