Who's still towing?
We are the original owners of a 2006 3400RL and still putting on over 3K miles each year. We haven't been the oldest rig at the National Rally but we have been close. Who else is out there still towing their older rigs?

Still towing our 2006 3000RK which we are the original owner. Just over 6000 miles last year. Covid really slowed us down this spring but going out next week.

Hi Ted. Met you and Beth at 2013 rally in Pigeon Forge. My DW taught a little line dancing, name is Carole.
Other than maybe a little pealing graphics, bet both are great shape.

See my signature. 2003 3255rl. Barely used. New rubber last fall and zero miles as of yet. Campgrounds around here are mostly full and difficult to get reservations. I'm waiting till normal fall travel after the kids go back to zoom school or real school.

Our first 5th wheel was the 06 3400 that we actually purchased in 2005.It was a good Rv and we did over 70 K miles on that guy before going to the 13 3402 which is pretty much the same RV.

2007 3400RL that we bought in July of 2006. Very well cared for and many upgrades. Folks that see it cannot believer it's age. With all the problems with the new models I don't intend to replace any time soon.

I agree, we are not letting go of our 2011 unit. It is stored in a pole building and looks like new inside and out. Too many issues with the newer ones.

These campers will last a long time if it you take care of them especially if you keep them inside while not in use. The airstreams will last forever problem is I’m not going to last forever. I just need my camper to last as long as I do.

In my case that's somewhere around another 25-30 years. Lol. I don't see us camping in a 30 35 year old camper but who knows

Purchased our 2009 2955rl in late 2008. Rv prices were falling fast due to the BIG recession that we all experienced. Ordered it and 4 weeks later I went to pick it up. I keep it in a 41' x50' Garage that I built in 2006 with the 2955 in mind. Still looks like new keeping it inside when not in use.

Still towing our 05 Big Sky. Love the floorplan & all Hydraulic slides. Have had to replace or repair almost all 'Systems' over the years (except for the Hydraulics).

Great to see all these older units still being used. I don't build them like they used to.

Still towin 05 3650RK!
Hey everyone! haven't been here in awhile but I enjoy reading about our mighty Montanas. It is my belief that my older rig('05) will get to me to the end whenever that is as long as I keep taking care of it. Better the devil I know ! Looking forward to some rainbow fishing this fall at Denny's Dam in my Montana and visiting a few harvest hosts. If anyone hasn't heard of them yet Google it! You won't regret it.
I am also a Harvest Host here in Amherstburg southern ontario Canada. Looking forward to meeting some fellow Montana owners from Canada this year. Everyone stay safe! wear your masks, keep your distance, and wash your hands often.
We will all get through this together.
To my American friends and relatives be well!
Just put new brakes all around and topped up the fridge, water and fuels. I'm ready .....

Not the original owners, but still towing our 2004 3295RK. Love the layout and all systems work fine.
I'm big on mods, and have done many upgrades to the rig. No plans on changing anytime soon.
