Gone but not leaving

Well, last week I bought my "forever" 5th wheel. But, it was not a FR product. I bought a Keystone Montana.

Nice rig, and of course, I paid a lot for it. My Wildwood was nice, it's just that this is nicer

This is my 4th 5th, and I do hope it brings me lots of future comfort. Every time I bought another RV in the past, I had great times.

Yet, I don't want to leave these forums, so I shall stay here, reading your wonderful comments. Yes, I am camping in a Montana, but not joining the Montana forums yet. Still want to learn wisdom from all of you here!

Lot of people here that aren't FR owners. Congrats on the new 5th wheel. Enjoy.

When we were considering a 5th wheel for retirement, Montana High Country was at the top of our list.

Yes, this ^

But if you are determined to find a new forum we can help out...

These are sister sites to FRF and you find a similar vibe..:
Keystone RV Forums
Montana Owners Club - Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Forum

I've put a deposit down on a new Arctic Fox 5th wheel. Moving away from FR made me feel a bit like a traitor, but the responses here have eased my mind. Good to know I'll still be welcome. I hope everyone here has a happy holiday.

You are on your 4th, wow! I wish we had the variety of product available here in Oz as you guys up there do. When we started looking, with a bigger catalogue we might have made a different choice. Even so, and even after all the failures, bits that fall off, other bits that keep losing screws, etc, we still luv our 28RLT and we got it cheaper (new) than most others that are available down here..

We did the same thing as you did in July of this year. We had a 2016 Sunseeker and bought a Montana 3950BR when we started full timing. Have gotten some good tips from this site as well as from the Montana Owners Association. Many threads are good general tips.

I've owned 2-5er's & now own a Tiffin motorhome. I read Tiffin RV Network and then switch over to FR forums. I've learned a lot of info here, thanks for having me too!
