I think some RV manufacturers, have a low end line, mid, and upper end. After owning several TTs, I bought my first FW in 1995. I was looking at a used upper end 92, and a new 95 low end model, made by the same company. They were about the same price. I bought the used 92, from someone I knew, as the quality difference was very visible.
The new one was needing repair, just to get the door open! The sales guy needed to pry on it, before we could look at it. Once inside, a cupboard door came off, when he showed us all the storage space. Then we noticed the cheap kitchen sink was cracked open, about an 1/8 inch. We walked/ran away from that low end trailer, and bought the used upper end one.
Used that one for many years, with only a few small issues.
It seems the Montana, has a pretty good overall rep.

Makes you wonder why =any= dealer would even have that unit out for public inspection. :h We were at La Mesa here in Mesa 2-3 years ago to look at a FW. Opened the door and there was a 3" hole in the wall where the door that goes up to the bedroom had slammed open. That, and crooked cabinet doors, squeaks in the flooring, made me just run, both from (IIRC) Open Range and La Mesa. I literally turned to the salesman and just said "really?", then we got in the car and left.
