We are thinking about a new Montana High Country. Keystone sent us the name of our local dealer, and he immediately tried to steer us to something by Forest River, because of the hung walls in the Montana. Here's what he said in his e-mail:
Yes the Crusader has the edge on construction over the High Country. All walls in the Crusader, including the slide-out sidewalls, are laminated. The High Country is what is known as a hung wall. To tell the difference push on the walls with your hands, the hung wall will move, the laminated one won’t budge even if you give it a thump. This tells you one thing, why the hung wall moves is because there is air behind it in front of the insulation and where there is air there will eventually be moisture and where moisture that cannot vapour off because it is trapped you inevitably get mould forming. The laminated wall is visibly stronger. In the High Country when we sold them both the rear wall and the slide-out sidewalls were all hung. On any RV you may look at in the future, check these walls. If hung, they will give quite easily.
Does he make a valid point, or is he just trying to sell his preferred line?
