Re: 2010 Montana 5th wheel frame problems

I have experianced many major problems with it since I purchased it. Now I found that the frame has a major problem. The wall on the side of the front closet has been broken by the movement of the frame. I would like to know how many others have had this problem. It probably is not a frame failure despite all the Lippert bashers. Montana decided to use a very thin piece of vertical paneling for the closet wall. They then installed it tight to the floor. There is always some flexing of the frame and this flimsy setup cannot handle it. A common problem in Montanas. The Montana Owners Club forum (www.montanaowners.com) for more than you ever wanted to know about Montanas. If it's a "common problem" with Montana's, which I find a little hard to believe that it's "common"...I'll steer clear of purchasing a Montana 5er...... I can almost guarantee it's a common problem. The side panel is not rigid enough to hold itself up let alone any shelving. On top of that it is installed with staples. Very poor engineering IMO.847Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tire Failure-Update IV
I used to run BFG's on my truck until the last couple sets had problems. Now I run Toyo's and it's an amazing difference in quality IMO. I could never keep the BFG's balanced but in contrast the Toyo's are so true that after the initial install I never need to balance them for the life of the tire.332Views0likes0CommentsOnan 5500
I recently installed an Onan 5500 gasoline generator and am on my first dry camping trip and it has quit working. It has 6 hours all from exercising. I am thinking fuel pump as I couldn't hear it when I primed it. I did check the voltage to the pump and it had 12 volts when hitting the prime button. Has anyone had similar trouble? Am I suppose to hear the fuel pump? I seem to remember hearing it prime in the past.608Views0likes1CommentRe: Goose Box

With the Goose Box mounted in the bottom holes I didn't have this issue. That's good to hear. How do you like yours?278Views0likes0CommentsRe: Goose Box
