My wife and I bought this RV new, 7 long, long, long years ago.
On our first trip, in the boondocks of NE BC, a slide out cable snapped. Our dining and relaxing areas were now useless. The only good thing, is that a few stout lads were able to help me push it back into the house, so that we could continue our trip.
Turns out that the "factory technicians": had misaligned the mounting holes, so the awkward tension on the "brand new cable" was so great that it snapped.
We have ornamental trim in the unit. Big heavy, luxurious looking pieces. On the same trip, when we opened the door, one of the pieces had broken loose, and fallen onto the dining table (which we couldn't use, and the recliners, which we couldn't use).
So, I laid the piece on those two, and waited to get back home so that I could drill some holes, and use 2.5" wood screws to hold it in place.
Oh, yes, I forgot to mention, the "staples" that were supposed to hold it in place missed the mark by 50%, and they were only 1/2 inch long anyways.
The spare tire rack, under chassis - great idea. Except, the receiving nut was never welded to the carrier, so that when it came to change a tire, my wife had to grovel in the mud holding a wrench on the bolt, so that I could put a socket on said nut.
Not cool. Why: well because it's never a sun shiny day, when a fellow gets a flat.
Then the electrics went. 2 dealerships couldn't figure it out, my buddy an electrician was stymied, and then I found the GOD OF RV ELECTRICS, and $500 later, it was fixed.
Then, the other slide in the living area went askew.
Tore up a frame stud, tore up the sliding plate under the slide, so to make a long story short $6500 later, I got it back.
The dealership is fantastic.
The product?
I rue the day that I bought it.
One final thought, I only illustrated the highlights. There were many more.
Stay away from Montana.
