If I believed half of what I read I'd need a 300k fiver and a highway tractor to tow it, the weight police won't permit pickups to haul fivers.
For fun times you can just go on any forum and ask if you can pull your new 18k fiver with an F150 Eco. LOL

The MOC forum is very good and balanced with a wealth of knowledge. It's one of the perks of owning a Montana, quite frankly. We love ours and the owners willing to share knowledge on the forum is outstanding.

I really appreciate the MOC forum. Lots of the problems we encounter with our rigs are not warranty issues and we just need a little help to get us going in the right direction. It is also a great place to stay informed about recalls. There have been several but I don't recall ever being notified by Keystone.

So here's where we're at right now -
23% off msrp and giving good money for trade.
They're showing me $3500 or so over value for trade taking out the negative equity.
So sorta boils down to 27% off msrp with actual trade value.
Good for local dealer in stock?

When we bought our Montana in 2011 we got about 32% off MSRP. However, we found out later that the owner was losing the dealership because he was $350k behind on his fed taxes. So we may have gotten a better deal. He lost the dealership and another local dealer has picked up Montana. About a year after we bought it, we were camping and a guy at the park had the exact same rig. He asked where we got it. When I told him he said he tried to buy it a few months before we bought it and the dealer would not come down. He paid 20K more than we did and had to travel 4 hours to get his. I think what matters is that you are happy with the deal and the rig. Just remember, even at 27% off MSRP it will depreciate pretty quick. You are spending a lot of money so I would make sure it is exactly what you want. I don't recall if the one you are looking at has 6 point auto leveling, but that is the one thing I would love to have. If it doesn't, try to get them to install the electric version.

That one is missing a few options that we would like to have.
I've searched the Internet for quite some time and have not been able to find another one fully loaded like the one local here

The legacy edition package is missing from every other one that I find on the Internet for sale. The local dealer told me it's a rather expensive option but it comes with a few things we would really like to have and there's no other way to get those options except in the legacy package.

It has a listed hitch weight of 2850lbs. If you add the washer/dryer to the front and then load the front storage and basement storage that will be really heavy. I would do the math and make real sure you aren't overloading the rear tires and axle of your truck. I have no idea what the SRW are rated for, just a thought. It is a really nice rig. I wish it was available when we upgraded. Good Luck.
