Hi Josh been watching you for a couple years planning on getting me a fifth wheel one day I will call you before too long to ask a few questions keep up the good work my man you do a fine job
TY Steven! Quick note - I'm not in sales myself but our team is happy to assist you when you're ready! Here's some updated footage on this one btw: bit.ly/3PRzo2x
This Montana would be even more fabulous with the bed north/south _facing_ the big window so there's more room for a long sliding door wall closet. They can do it! I believe...
Thank you for the tour Allen.. Tell Charlie and Berta we said hi.... 🤣🤣🤣 All jokes aside, your tour was professional, informational and not boring.... Your sense of humor is spot on like Allen's...
Hey Josh! My husband and I love watching your videos. Here's a suggestion. When we buy our RV, I will need a desk. Why not have a convertible dresser/desk top? Dresser top could slide out to create more leg room and good access to an area for properly placed keyboard. Another idea would be to have the top of the dresser or counter area fold out. Every time I see a bedroom with a dresser, I think it's a waste to not have it convert to a "no knee knocker" desk with extra leg room.
@@JoshtheRVNerd I have a cougar. 2 months after buying new. The cables had enough slack that they wouldn't pull the slide in flush. They really shouldn't put them on the big slides. Just my .02 sir.
@@Sdconstruct That's extremely uncommon and I'm sorry to hear you had that experience. I certainly hope warranty processes were able to resolve this for you. Thankfully, we carry plenty of different brands here with different equipment & systems to help clients find the RVs that make them feel most comfortable
The 2020's have since found homes. We normally have pricing listed at bit.ly/2ORUq3M for whatever the current offering is, but I haven't yet been given figures from our management team. As I recall these typically clock into the very low 50's (with no hidden fees here of course) Our team at 800-256-5196 can verify I'm sure!
@@danrhoades6706 We sell further basically daily. This is what we do. ALL I ASK is for just a simple call/email saying something like "you get one shot. Make it a good one." That's it. Don't like what we have to offer? Then you've lost nothing!
@@JoshtheRVNerd So that's all across the whole Montana line? I tried looking for it on their website but it was kind of a daunting task. There are so many. We currently have a 38 foot 5th wheel (we left/leaving in FL for our winter spot) but wanted to see if we could add a shorter one to get in more places. And get in and out of places easier. But I have a long list of what I want it to be. Lol
@@ResQmomKim Yes. Montana is a large full-time RV Specialist. Understand there are only a small number of bed-slide fifth wheels even capable of being in the 34-36ft range. By the time you have a living slide, private bath, and bed slide she's about 35ft by default. Then they get bigger.
I've always felt every RV has one or two special points that make them stick out. However, there's no denying Montana is the single most popular luxury fifth wheel in history. Literally the #1 most popular for 17 consecutive years. You don't achieve and maintain that level of success by accident! I'd love the opportunity for our team to cover a few of the finer points of Montana RVs with you so you may be able to better understand why we've chosen to feature them over other brands here at our facility. You may contact our team at 800-256-5196 any time!
Love your videos only problem is I wish I knew about your dealership before I bought my new trailer last year your definitely be my 1st call when I'm ready to upgrade thanks
Josh, you are the only person I have seen that includes C.P.A.P. user features in your videos. Congrats on that. Either you or someone you love is a user. My wife uses one and she can't sleep without it or she might not wake up in the morning. Thank for your videos and thanks for pointing out that some manufactures are including C.P.A.P. friendly units. Finally getting the hint that a lot of people use these life saving devices.
Hey Josh, love your videos!!!! Here's a thought: I live in Texas and currently own a 2019 Alpine I call the "Beast". 42 footer and love it. Here's the but-how come manufacturers don't make a Summer capable version? Heating a unit is typically not an issue. Down here in Central Texas we have already hit 102 this year. Even with 2- 15k BTU AC units, it still struggles on hot days. Why not focus on the cooling issue vs heating? I'm seriously considering putting a third unit in the place in the kitchen where I currently have an exhaust fan. Love to hear your thoughts on this subject or a video. Keep up the good work!!!!
I cannot comment on Alpines. Cougar/Montana have always clocked in excellent ratings not just for cold camping, but hot as well. Cougars have been tested and proven to maintain comfortable cabin temps even in 110 conditions.
I also noticed that all the slides (I think) are cable driven. To me, that's not such a good thing especially on those super slides. Care to comment on that Josh???
I have a video on slide systems that might help here a bit: ruclips.net/video/JEN5gYf4lQ8/видео.html Quick note: Cable slides are the single most expensive on the market. if they were working *WELL*, then they wouldnt be used.
Completely varies by brand. To make building/shopping one of these easier to understand Montana made the booth standard in all "high country" models & table standard in full "Montana" models. Obviously table & chairs available as an option for the High Country series. Many brands choose the seating that "makes the most sense for that floor plan" to be standard & offers the others as options. The Common logic is usually "If it has bunks, then booth is standard. If no bunks, then table is standard" in those cases, but there are as many exceptions as examples to that line of thought.
We sell literally the same thing simple called "Open Range" instead of Autumn ridge. They make the same camper under 4 or 5 names. Not ALL starcrafts and open ranges are the same -- but their "stick and tins" are literally the same trailer with different decor/decals (otherwise identical). A ton of brands build that layout now. Passport was the first (called the 239ML). You can see a bunch of models with that layout or something similar here: bit.ly/2L5n2Vw
That's a difference between High Country and Full "Montana." High Country models are price/weight sensitive. They do what *matters* first and foremost. Surface hinges may not be as "pretty" as hidden hinges, but they function just as well. That's the logic behind a High Country. The multiple examples of those ideas around the RV are also what keeps them *significantly* lighter and less expensive vs. full "Montana" despite being equally functional.
I would rather see that vs. a resi-fridge. The challenge there is the added cost. Part of the reason the resi-fridges have found their way into the business is the simple fact that they're notably less expensive vs. a comparably sized gas/elec. You can get more cubic foot of cold storage per dollar with a resi-fridge vs. gas/elec. BUT... more doesn't mean better. The offset is you lose a measure of travel reliability with them, servicing them is an absolute nightmare (seriously), and no auto-changeover to propane if power is lost.
There are plenty of features present on this RV (including the bedroom TV Prep location) that aren't mentioned. It's not reasonable to expect something like this video to cover *EVERY* nut bolt and widget. Perhaps in the future you may find more benefit in phrasing your thought in the form of a respectful question rather than making an incorrect assumption.
@@JoshtheRVNerd If it's the plug below the window, that's not really practical. Maybe the "prep" was somewhere else and I just missed it, but I did go back. Why no pivot or pocket main bathroom door? Any other 3/4 ton 5th Wheels you'd recommend?
@@jeffrey8439 *Why the bath door change?* Either the pivot door didn't work with this revised bath design (likely), or they're testing to see if a swinging door is something more people would like since things seem to work cyclically. *TV Hookups Beside Window.* Our team at 800-256-5196 is always more than happy to answer little specifics like that or hop out to the RV and fire over a quick photo to clarify. Here's a link that should offer quite a few similar layouts with similar towability: bit.ly/2LmcQYS

I love the idea and a VERY small number of brands do provide provisions for a desk in the RV, but it's rare.
Could this be towed with a short box 1 ton truck? 6'4" F350 or RAM 3500
Potentially if it had the right payload
hate to see those cables on slides.
Why do you say that? It's statistically the most reliable system used at Keystone.

That kitchen is something! Deluxe
After losing our 2015 Cougar 333MKS in a tornado last month, we are going to be picking up our new Montana 295RL tomorrow. I can't wait!!!
Love It!! We're full times & I'm very interested!
Would you believe we're similarly interested in the opportunity to earn your business on your next RV? Lol :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd To be honest we're located in Central Alabama. Yall are little to far away from us but I wish yall were closer.

Love this 5th wheel!! It's got everything I want and then some♥️♥️
Is it set-up for a generator?
That's option on all Montanas.
Love that the bathroom door opens in. No shuffling on the steps. Ps we own 361rlw, love the winshield.
Nice beautiful
So what is the dry wieght of this unit
Listed for you right at the 00:05 near the beginning of every video!
Price
Looks like we’re sold out currently so I would have to refer you to our local stores who could get you figures for incoming models
Other brands need to take notes from the symmetrical kitchen space. So necessary and so satisfying.
What all models of Montana are between 34-36 ft?
Not very many. 294RL / 3120RL are about it. You can see a few here bit.ly/2MFW864

Love your videos only problem is I wish I knew about your dealership before I bought my new trailer last year your definitely be my 1st call when I'm ready to upgrade thanks
First time ever I've seen double bowl sink make sense ...
Not an accident Montana is the best selling fifth wheel out there. They're always on the details.

"Real wood... not Beaver Puke!" ... LOL!
Wish I could take credit for that one. It's solid gold.
Josh, is a booth standard on most if not all campers or just this brand?

Can you do a video on the Montana front kitchen? I like the way you do videos. Thanks
It's on the "eventually" list
We all know you know everything
My wife will confirm that to be an inaccurate statement.
I may like this 1 better than the 3120RL
Nice unit but can't understand why they are still using surface mount cabinet hinges.

Got to imagine it won't be too long and we'll see dual Everchill fridges instead of a residential fridge. What sayeth thee, RV Nerd?
I would rather see that vs. a resi-fridge. The challenge there is the added cost.

dont like the dark interior.
You'll likely be happy with the updated decors you can see at bit.ly/2ORUq3M
They have lightened and brightend up significantly.
I have the same pet peves
Hmmm, doesn't seem to be a spot for a bedroom tv, so let's just avoid mentioning anything....
