I bought new Montana in 2010. I can't say everything because the old watchdogs get after me. The Montana is good if you buy it knowing it will never be any good unless you take it to Mor/yde and install the IS Suspension. Unfortunately you can't order even when you order a trailer new. If you ordered a Mobile Suite it could be ordered with IS Suspension, Disc Brakes and 17.5 tires. Montana's are heavy and like many others the are shipped just good enough to to skim by the DOT and get you over the one year warranty. Just look at the recent postings about bent axles from various manufacturers. Rebending bent axles doesn't make them stronger in my opinion. I don't believe for one minute that everyone who spends $80,000.00 looks for curbs to jump over. I was accused of being overweight and when Mor/yde weighed it before installing the IS Suspension and Disc Brakes it was 500 lbs. under it's factory weight limit and the fresh water and black water were full and somewhat grey . With those upgrades and the G614 Goodyear tires I am Quite satisfied. Without those upgrades I believe you will be in for some big disappointments as was I.
We too wanted to avoid suspension issues...worked with our dealer who picked up our Landmark at the factory and delivered it to Mor Ryde for IS and disc brakes PRIOR to being delivered to us! Went one step further and put on 17.5 inch, H load tires and rims...couldn't be happier!
OP...another option in the range you are looking is the Bighorn or possibly the Landmark by Heartland.
