Finding a well-built rig

When we purchased our first and second truck and 5th wheel we had in both cases purchased the biggest truck we could afford and we could only afford to buy a 5th wheel in a certain price range. What we could afford determined what we purchased both truck and RV. We would have liked to purchase a higher end 5th wheel at a higher quality level but could not afford to do that. We were also limited by what the truck could pull. IMO after touring most of the factories in Indiana all of the brand 5th wheel in our price range were pretty much the same in quality so we purchased the one that had the floor plan we liked and within our budget. We find in reading the forums of all brands including the so called high $$ high quality brands they all seem to have similar problems.

Don't know about most folks but what we purchased was determined by what we could reasonably afford. We did the best we could and have now purchased two Montana's. Problems with both of them yes. Our fix it list on our new 2013 Montana big sky is now up to 16 items the least being improperly labeled cable inputs and the worst being the strut on one of our compartment doors being improperly installed and pulling out of the door. We have seen that same strut problem on new Mobil suites. We are now 7 years and @ 70K+ miles on the road as long timers. We see and camp with all brands all price ranges and we share the same problems. This brand BS is just that.... BS. Buy what you can afford and the floor plan that meets your needs. And when you see a post on a forum that says "we have a XXXXX 5th wheel and have NEVER had a problem" Do not believe it.
