Keystone Montana are great trailers?
I heard they are not, knew someone who bought one, nothing but trouble from brand new trailer.

I took it to elk camp this year and was more than happy with the trailer. Huge upgrade over the Coleman tent I have slept in the past three years! Haven't had it out since elk season as we just bought in September, but we have a few trips planned this spring. I have looked the trailer over top to bottom and have nothing but good to say about build quality. They do a good job on the Arctic Foxes.

We've have had three in the family over the years, two still own them. Other than general maintenance I've never heard of no real problems.Keystone Montana are great trailers?

They are a full fiberglass trailer with the top piece fitting down well over the bottom portion. A had a Bigfoot motor home and recently downsized to a 2008 25' Bigfoot travel trailer (picture below). Found one in northern California in October and jumped on it. There seem to be a good number that come up for sale in the Pacific Northwest as they are made in B.C. Not much on Craigslist at the moment, but with spring coming you see some come up.
There is also a dealer in Tacoma and Everitt...Apache RV that has new ones.

They are all junk. Buy used because your going to be fixing stuff anyways. I would say Airstream and Bigfoot are at top of the list quality wise but it still just a matter of time before all the stuff they put inside them starts to break. Keep whatever you buy stored under cover because it is only a matter of time before it starts leaking.
Haha, funny you say this because the more I read the more I lean towards the same sentiment.
Thanks all for the suggestions! I was originally thinking buy quality and keep for a while, but maybe I'll go cheaper and dump before it becomes a money pit... Got some stuff to figure out on my end. In this day and age I'm amazed that it's so hard to to construct a trailer that doesn't leak!

Let's be real.....It's like any other car, house, tent, etc etc etc. They all require maintenance and proper care to last. Doesn't matter what trailer you buy, if you are rough on it and don't keep up on maintenance it will be nothing but a nightmare. Don't buy a 26' trailer and think you are gonna bounce it up the Colockum without breaking something. Roofs and seals need regular maintenance.....esp. if you don't have a covered parking area. Sun is far worse for the roof than rain / snow. If you don't winterize you will have problems. Use proper chemicals in your toilet and dump it regularly. They are work.....But if you enjoy camping...They are worth it. Take care of them and they will last forever. I know people that have 30 year old trailers that still work great.

My wife and I shopped around and looked up countless reviews for about a year before pulling the trigger on this one. So far zero complaints. I would recommend the Montana line.Nice truck
2500 or 3500

Exactly........my Bigfoot pictured above is a 2008 model and for all intents and purposes shows exactly like new. Previous owner spent the time to maintain it properly. Of course quality holds up much better in the long run.

Thanks. 2500 Duramax. The 5th wheel is the high country version, so they are a little lighter then the normal Montana line. Dry weight is right around 12,000 lbs and GVWR is 15,000 I believe. It tows pretty good, just have to watch out for high winds.

Nice floorplans. A 25' trailer that turns into a 30' when the end queen bed manually pulls out. It also has an electric slide out where the sofa is and two bunks at other end.

We have a 2006 Komfort 26' that I absolutely love. We take it to some amazing places and holds up well on crappy mountain roads. It has the 4 seasons package on it and we've taken it during the late hunt, single digit temps with no problems (as long as you don't run out of propane for the heater!). There have been no water leak issues (stored outside on the East side of the state), and no issues with the fiberglass. It has an aluminum frame and before our F250 diesel, we towed it with a GMC half ton. I absolutely love the floorplan, one little slide makes a huge difference, and there's tons of storage. There's even a hatch in the back for tall items, tools, generator, etc., that is way easier to access than the pass through cargo areas. If this trailer ever bites the dust I'll have another one custom made exactly like it.
I have an 07 Komfort 253 with Thermal Max package Extremely well built. Aluminum framing etc. When we were looking I felt that these were built at least as well as the Artic Fox and Nashes!

I agree! The quality is really impressive.
Ive had a 23 ft comfort that's been awesome,I spent a winter in it on the east side and boy Im impressed
We've lived in ours for a time also while building a house. They are remarkable!

Just dropped ours off at the rv park. Moving out of the house on Tuesday and will be living in it until our house is finished in Colorado. I'm excited for the trip from California to Colorado.Let me know how it is to tow though the mountains of Colorado and or Utah. I'm doing it this summer and am interested to know if I my truck will struggle at 10k
