Picking up new Montana 3811MS today
Joined the forum a few weeks ago, picking up our new unit today (early I hope). Came over from a DRV Tradition. This one needs to last about 10 years. DRV was a big disappointment. Beautiful unit, but craftsmanship looked like it was thrown together by a high school shop class ready to leave for the weekend.

We got the Montana last Wednesday so its been only 5 nights. So far all I've done is reset the ice maker, turn on the water to the washer, tighten the refrig freezer door. Nothing else seems wrong. The floor does have some creeks when you walk on it. Didn't have that in the DRV but it is not major (as far as I know).
Bought the unit through Holiday World in Alvarado. They are brand new (grand opening is not until April) so they went out of their way to make sure everything went very well. There was an extra day picking it up, when they were about to roll it out for our walk thru, the power reel mechanism broke down and they had to overnight a part. Since we live in the unit, they but us up in a local hotel. If you are looking to buy a brand Holiday World carries, right now I can't recommend them high enough. Everyone seemed to be very concerned that we were pleased. Gary was our salesman. He helped us move from the DRV to the Montana and several others volunteered.
