I was on a conference call with the general manager for Montana sales in the west this past Saturday. They know very little about the 357TH because there are no completed units. He even suggested the floorplan online is meerly a mock-up meaning the dinette and bunks were sort of "added." They are working to complete the first prototype unit in time for the dealers preview show in a few weeks. You'll note from my earlier email a number of options will be "mandatory" on the 357THT and the 357 is on a longer chassis than the 347THT. The twelve foot dinette is probably one of the mandatory options. The base price will be raised by about $5K with list prices coming in a bit north of $60K. They don't expect photos of the protype to be on the net for another 3-4 weeks with first deliveries to dealers toward the end of December.
On my other mission, I now have a deposit on a 2012 347THT constructed before the line shutdown in May! It was on a lot out of state and as it turns out, it was worth the wait and trouble as the dealer seemed very motivated to move it as well as outfit it the way we'd prefer at very reasonable cost. There will be the cost of moving it but nothing close to the usual transportation charge to the west from Keystone. Hallelujah!!
