Just picked up our 2026 Montana 3100RL. Our names are Dan & Shirley Ibach from Lincoln, ND. So far loving the Montana even the smaller size. Dan retired from the military in 2001 after serving 21 years and retires next year from driving semi-truck. I retired last year when the winery I worked at closed their doors. We love camping and can't wait to travel south for the winter months and make new friends
 
Welcome aboard! I'll be curious to hear what you think of the 3100. It's a new generation with some nice upgrades.
 
This is a great place to get help. Also, a short trip for you to a Midwest rally in July at Nebraska City. I have never been there but may be worth the short trip for you.

Hello! We've had our 2026 3100RL 'Bison' color for about 2 months now. (We waited until a unit FINALLY arrived in CA.). We absolutely LOVE it. But... there are a dozen small warranty things that need to be addressed. Keystone has been S L O W to respond to out emails... Lippert has been awful. I hope it gets better. Anyway, I'd love to keep in touch with you about your experience! -RobM, Newhall, CA
 
Welcome.
We love our 2018 Montana High Country 345RL. At the end of 2025 we decided that we wanted to upgrade to a new 5th wheel. We were very close to buying a 2026 Alliance 310RL until we saw a new Montana 3100RL. Shorty, thereafter in April we ordered a 3100RL. Today we found out that it should be built mid-June as a 2027. Starting to get excited! The next 3-weeks are going to take a long time. We plan on having pre-purchase / delivery inspection done by Rob at Pro RVI before we sign the final papers and hand over the money to the dealership. Also found out today that the factory rep that takes care of this area no longer works for Keystone so now waiting for a new factory sales rep so that we can get correct updated info.

Welcome Dan and Shirley from a fellow North Dakotan! I'm a little further east than you, but I spent many years driving truck between Fargo and Bismarck (your neighborhood) so I know the area well.

I second what Scott said. We (retired) have gone south for 5 or 6 weeks the last 2 winters. Been to the Quartzite rally once and had a great time. Want to go back again, possibly in '27. Great people there and you will have a great time... Stay in the circle!

Thanks for your service to our country!

Hi.
We also have a few problems with ours,but Keystone has been fantastic to work with. Our biggest disappointment is the dealer in ND. But Keystone found another dealer to work with and so far so good. I love our camper and can't wait to get going to all the rallies but it will have to wait till next year because of didn't know if we would have a camper or not.

We have also had a few problems with ours, and like you a lot was due to the dealer. We wanted to purchase ours from the dealer 25 miles from us, but they don't deal in motor homes and we were trading in a Thor Super C, forcing us to a dealer close to 100 miles away. All future business will be with the closer dealer which so far have been great to work with.
