Re: New Member and New Montana 3820FK
I have the 2016 3820K model and did a 4K trip this last September. My tow vehicle is a 2015 Chevy 2500 HD Duramax and I had airbags installed. It handled very well with the diesel jake brake through the Sierra Mountains on 6% grades. I am very aware that I am at the Max limits for this 40 foot trailer. The airbags are great for slowing down the bouncing affect. The biggest concern was the air pressure and heat on the single rear tires. PSI increased a minimum of 8 PSI but not more than 15 depending on heat factors in the desert. Montana switched the China Bomb tires (at the last RV show) to the #1 or #2 recommended Salium tires for 2017 and that's worth its weight in Gold for piece of mind. Frequently check the Air Pressure on the trailer/truck and maintain a speed of 60 mph and all should be good.
