Mountaineer vs Dutchman

[Jconnon]

My wife and I are about to buy our first 5th wheel and there are a couple of layouts that we like from the Montana Mountaineers and the Dutchman Infinity's. My question is quality wise is one better than the other or are they pretty equal?

I went with the 3750fl from Infinity. After doing my research the Infinity was better in a few respects (higher quality touches) however I really liked the extra door on the Montana. We had a few minor problems so far but all RVs tend to have something wrong.

If you are considering the 345DBQ, look at the 346LBQ also. We looked at both and decided on the 346LBQ due to the kitchen penisula which increased the counter space and the enclosed bathroom. The 345 has 4 bunks, but, we got the optional sleeper sofa in the bunkroom and could still sleep 4 back there. The 345 has two slides in the bunkroom so it has more floorspace. The 346 has the kitchen slide and we liked that. As with anything there are personal preferences and this is just what we liked about it. Our previous 5er had the open shower and vanity and we just didn't like it with the access to the front bunk area in that 5er cutoff while someone was in the shower. Just a couple of things to think about.

We are looking at the following models. Mountaineers 345DBQ and 375FLF and for Dutchman Infinity 3870FK. We really liked the Dutchman layout but for practicality purposes we may go with the 345DBQ from Montana. We have spent a lot of time looking at fifth wheels but have not actually been in a Dutchman yet.

looked at infinity last year front livingroom model and Montana's a few weeks ago. if I had to choose it would be montana, seemed to be better built and after talking to a few people at fort wilderness last year that had the infinity would probably stay away from Dutchman.

Could you please list the model numbers you were looking at to be more specific?

Thanks
