I have seen 5 Montanas with the common broken frame....all were torn metal NOT the welds. Just looking at the design if you know anything about welding and metal structure you can see its poor design and material choice.
Not disputing you, as that's an issue, too, but several of the ones posted here have =started= with a failed weld, that led to metal failure. There weren't weld failures when a bunch of the i-beam frames failed in the suspension area a few years ago. I'd be willing to bet that <100 lbs more steel in most frames would make them near-failure proof...PROVIDED, they're constructed well. I'd sure-as-hell sacrifice 100 lbs of CCC for a worry-free frame.
