I bought a new Montana Mountaineer this year and have already had more trouble than a person should. I know the Mountaineer is the lower line of the Montana, but I was assured by Mike Thompson RV that they were all built the same, just had less bells and whistles.
I gravitated to the Montana because a couple of people said they liked their model. Could it be Keystone isn't building quality anymore?
I haven't had enough experience with new 5th wheels to know if the poor workmanship is normal, or if I got a bad deal.
So far:
Black tank leaked because the gate was installed incorrectly.
Flush out valve was put in backwards and didn't work.
Spare tire almost fell off and was bouncing on the freeway.
Weight of the couch has broken the molding because the full wight of the couch rests on the molding.
Trim fell off the island.
Shower doors won't stay in the track (poor design)
Vanity door almost fell off because of loose screws.
Bedroom drawers didn't shut.
Bedroom door didn't latch.
Screen door plastic slider won't stay in track.
Toilet won't hold water.
At this point I'm wondering if it will stay together long enough to get rid of.
I expect a few things going wrong, but isn't this over the norm?
Keystone company has not been responsive to my complaints. Remains to be seen if they will pay for the repairs I have already made.
