It's under Montana - It is a an option package now that includes the body paint, leveling, remote, and a few other things. It hasn't been a separate model for quite some time.

When we purchased our Everest (2003) new in late 2002 there was only one Keystone luxury model, it was the just called “Big Sky“. Below it were two premium models, the Everest and the Montana. Later on Keystone dropped the Big Sky and introduced the Cambridge. It was very heavy and was not on the market for more than two or three years. Then Keystone reintroduced the Montana with a Big Sky package that soon became the Montana Big Sky. Now that is gone and the Alpine and Montana are the top of the line luxury models. They say the Alpine is manufactured on what used to be the Everest production line.

Cambridge! That was a while ago

But when I checked out Montana vs Alpine a little while back, I remember their insulation factors were a little different.

As you now know the Everest is no longer made. IMO there was little difference between the Everest and Montana. We have the Montana. Believe the Everest is now named the Alpine. The Everest name just never caught on. The Alpine is built on the same line that the Everest was built on.

I believe that the Montana was higher than the Everest but were still considered mid level along with the Challenger. I own a Challenger which was basically the sister of the Everest. They both had the same floor plans but the Everest had a little more bells and whistles than the Challenger. The Montana had a higher price tag than the Everest and the Challenger. I bought mine in Dec. of 2004 and it had a sticker price of 42000.00 and got it for 37000.00 out the door including taxes and warranty. The Montana's were quite a bit more in price.

None of the above are high end. They are good mid quality and price.

Thanks for all the input...greatly appreciated.....

If looking for a used Montana, look at the Montana owners web site for graphics issues. A good source for all things Montana RV related.

Owned and Everest and a Montana - Everest discontinued and Montana still being made. Everest was our first fifth wheel after owning a motor home for 14 years. No issues with the Everest and the Montana was a good unit - just wanted different layout from what we had.
