Montana 3100 RL

We have been looking at the new Montana 3100 RL. It has plenty of storage, basicaly everything that we need. One thing about it worries me. It has a portable or removable island. I know that it is engineered to withstand stop and go traffic, but I was afraid if I suddenly stopped, or panic stopped---what happens then? Will it go topsy turvy, destroying the other cabinets, televisons or whatever is in the way?

If anybody out there has an opinion or knows of pros and cons of this portable island, it would be appreciated.
  • You have more important things to be concerned about on a Montana than the portable Island.

    That could be said of any fifth wheel, but did your comment help answer his question, which was his concern about the portable island.

    To the op , I have to think the island stays where it belongs, but hopefully you will get the answer you need from owners of the 3100RL

    To use your own words..."My God man give it a rest"...please! You constant bashing is of no help.
  • Anyway you can move it to a better location - and bungee it to something more permanent....like the couch, or recliners.
  • The island rides between the chairs and against the rear wall for travel. Also has locking wheels. So far it has worked well for us.:)
