2014 303RK Montana High Country

[Outbackmel]

Considering moving up from Outback Sydney. All comments welcome on model specific OR rear kitchen relative on any Keystone.
Thanks

I have been thinking of moving up myself the next couple years to a Montana or HC. Based on what I have researched so far, with the HC is the gvwr. It appears that these units aee built on light frames and axles, thus limiting the payloads to ridiculously low amounts (cargo).
For instance, my Sydney 340fbh has 5200 lb axles giving me a cargo rating of 1800 lbs including what is in the tanks. I ran mine across the scales loaded for a week of camping and had only 100 lbs left before exceeding the gvwr with empty tanks. I am not happy with this.
In my opinion, any rv over 10k dry weight should be equippedwith 6000 lb axles . The HC I looked at recently had 5200 lb axles. This is worth looking into before you make the plunge.

==================

Our 2014 Cougar High Country 321RES trailer has 5200# axles on it. I think Keystone has done a very good job on the "High Country Series" of RV's.
Happy trails,

Going to look HARD at these at the Tampa Supershow mid January. Really love our 3/4 ton Dodge and have no room to park a dually in our driveway. We travel light. Everything we have seen adds up to making us happy for a few years.
Supershow will have a lot to choose from. We will be at the show on the opening day with a buyer 's frame of mind!! Already have RV psrking reservations at Sun Resorts; Tampa East , 7 miles from the fairgrounds. Lazydays already sold out.
