OK, so we went 3300 miles in 14 days. I-90 out to Yellowstone by way of Custer SD and back by I-80 to home. On the way we looked at every RV we could see, we're new.
Well, the 5th wheel we saw the most of was the Montana. I mean not every other one , but close. It became a joke, you know "what else a Montana". Now I'm not making fun of them, but there were a lot of them.
So, are they one of the best, cheapest, easy to pull or just been around the longest?

We sure like our's and found that it was the best bang for the buck.

As Fire5er stated, the general consensus is best bang for the buck.

They have been the best selling 5th wheel for 8 consecutive years. So yes, you are likely to see more of them than any other. And with that record, they have to be doing something right.
We love ours. Virtually no problems after 97 nights and over 10,000 miles.

We had a Montana for about 3 years. Liked it for part time use. No serious problems. If Montana would have had a floor plan that would have worked for us for full time we would be traveling and living in a Montana. But found another brand that did have a floor plan that we liked.
Wanted the bathroom all in one room, also wanted the washer and dryer out of the bedroom and in the kitchen. Have this with this brand.
Montanaowners.com is a great forum and great people.

We really like our Flagstaff but thought we would go look at a Montana. With as many as we saw, they have to be doing something right. We even saw a few TT's. I'm assuming they are 30+ foot, our's is just a 28 footer but fits us fine for now. There is only the two of us.
Thanks for the info
Mick
