What do you tow and how do you like it (RV)?
We have a Keystone Sprinter 300FKMS Travel Trailer and use a Reese Dual Cam hitch. The TT has 2 large slides and has a lot of room for a 33' TT. My only dislikes are the outside storage is a little skimpy and we would like to have had a diferent shower arangment.
We have had trouble with the bedroom slide and the dealer took about 6 weeks to fix it, but it is ok now. It is a little heavy for a TT at 10,000 acording to the CAT scales. The 2 slides really add the weight.
I have heard that fifth wheels are better to tow, but I like having the back of my truck to carry stuff in out of the weather with the shell on it. I really do not have any problems with sway or anything like that, the secret is to set your hitch up acording to the instructions that come with it and to have the right size truck for your trailer.

I pull a 36RLTS triple slide Cedar Creek by Forrest River.
I believe the Montana is a knockoff of the Cedar Creek.
No issues and an excellent Dealer - Which is as important as the brand name - IMO.
Have fun

Boy you guys tow big..
Here I was griping about getting a 27' Travellaire TT... Also looking at the Outback By Keystone and the Vanguard line.. I would like to go with some Canadian builds like the Travelaire (build about 20 miles from here) or the Vanguard (Saskatchewan build).
The Canadians use alot more real lumber than the Indiana stuff, but are more pricey...
Its a tough choice..
J-eh

I understand that some of the manufacturers that are going to/went to aluminum construction are going back to wood for the roofing trusses.
The dealer we visited stated that condensation was an issue with aluminum roofing structures.
I dont know the validity of this statement, but he had a fair amount of literature on it.

Add another Cougar 286 tothe list. I think that it is the best size for all the various campgrounds. The older state parks sometimes give trouble with the longer RVs and the best sites. Still dreaming about the big rear kitchen Montana but more than likely Not.
