Keystone Montana

I would like to receive input as to the Pro's and Con's of the Keystone Montana 5th Wheel trailers. I have noticed that there are a large number of used Montana 5th wheels for sale at the Dealers. Is there a reason? Are they built well or do they not hold up well?

Thanks
Dale

  • Same quality as the rest. But great floor plans and good looks go a long way towards selling a 5'er.
  • You would think if they were bad people would stop buying them a long time ago 11+ years #1 and still going stronger than ever, NOT saying they are built better than anybody else they just make a nice 5th with a lots of value and you will get good money for them when it is time to move on to your next 5th Montana or some other Brand, Just Sold my 2012 for a 2015 Monty and I am not brand loyal when I am spending 70K But I could not find any brand that gives you so much for the money and I had great service from the 2012, I have been Fulltiming in my 5th's for 4 years in all kinds of weather and roads and I would know if something is cheaply built and Montana's are not cheaply built
  • Go look one over CLOSELY they offer a lot for the money but IMHO they are very cheaply built. My parents friends love theirs as do other friends of ours but I know several that hate theirs. So it's a mixed bag.

    I am a very picky person, finish carpenter/perfectionist. So i may be more critical than most. We really looked a 3400 over years ago but I could not get past the poor quality.

    All JMHO.
  • We bought our 2007 Montana new July '07, very happy with it and almost no problems.

    Actually Montana has been the best selling 5er for the last 11 years. So naturally you will see more used ones. There is a very active Montana Owners Club forum. Many members are on their 2nd, 3rd, or more Montanas.

  • We can't be happier with our Montana. This is the 2nd 5th wheel and 6th RV we have owned and is by far the nicest. The build quality is great and so far everything has held up nicely. I will say that Keystone skimps on the tires that they put on the Montana's. These are heavy rigs and they put "E" rated 10 ply tires on them instead of 14 ply tires. If you are considering buying a Montana I would highly suggest getting on the Montana Owners Club forum and ask questions. Very knowledgeable group of folks. Tim
