We found a used Montego Bay and then.....

Years ago some friends parked their 5th Wheel on our Pastors property to be sold.....We bought it and then upgraded our truck from a 2002 2500HD w/6.0 gasser to our present 2002 2500HD w/8.1.
Well, on Patti's trip home from work yesterday she saw another 5th Wheel for sale parked on their property. Took a quick trip to look at it, NICE unit (from the outside driving by) and did some checking. It was as I figured, we would need to upgrade our present truck to a 3500 now. Not even sure which model the 5th Wheel is but it looks as if the smallest is probably 2500#+ hitch weight and over 15000#.
I was thinking of going by one of the Reno RV dealers and ask them if they thought our truck would tow it. We all probably know their answer.....Oh sure, you can pull that down the road. NO PROBLEM!
Oh well, we really wanted to check it out. I may just stop by to visit and do a quick and disappointed walk through.

    They are asking $32200.


    Its a shame your in CA.... I would let mine go for less than that.. and I would guess there is not nearly as many options on that one.....Either way , that's a good trailer to get into. Good Luck
  • We have an '08 with a kitchen island and 3 slides. We also tow with a '07 2500 HD duamax, and average 11.9 mpg. when I scaled our rig, the trailer weighed 14,100 lbs. The total weight was 21,400 lbs. Our only major problem with the trailer was china bombs. I do wish I had another A/C in the bed room. Wife REALLY loves the trailer and truck.

    PS I would be interested in knowing what they are asking for it.
  • I really like my Montego bay. Had it about two years now and it still looks brand new.

    I don't know the year but it is beautiful. Not sure of the size. It has a 30 on the lower left side of the door. It is about 35'+.
    It comes with the Vac system, Fireplace, 8 cu ft fridge, two tvs, a 5K generator, new tires, a new cover.
    The plate on the underside says 16000# so the darn thing is too big for us.
    Just found it. Model 30KSB-3.35 foot in length.....A 2008.


    Great year for that Montego Bay..... Go ahead... Get a 3500. :B
