2012 Keystone Montana Mountaineer 5th Wheel reviews

We loved our Montana Mountaineer and, for five years, it was truly “home” for us. Not only was it beautiful inside, it was easy to maneuver and tow. We have owned two other types of RVs (two pull-trailers and a motorhome) but they didn’t compare with our 5th wheel in comfort and livability. Some of my favorite things about the Montana were: DEDICATED OFFICE/DESK SPACE: I especially appreciated the dedicated area for my computer and files. With our other RVs, I had to either use the kitchen table or balance my computer on my lap, and my files had to be boxed up and packed into inconvenient places. When we first considered buying a 5th wheel, we discovered that when others said they had desk space, what they meant was a pullout directly under the TV. So much better with our Montana where I had an actual desk and two file drawers. What a convenience. EXTRA LARGE BATHROOM & SHOWER: Our Montana had one of the largest RV bathrooms I’d ever seen. The shower was large enough for a 6’+ person to shower comfortably and it even had a skylight! Another plus was, in addition to the medicine cabinet above the sink and the cupboard below, there was a floor-to-ceiling corner cabinet! KITCHEN COUNTER SPACE & STORAGE: With its “U shaped” layout and two peninsulas, my workspace was four times what I’d had in our motorhome. Lots of cabinets and storage below both peninsulas in addition to the wall cabinets. FIREPLACE: While it did provide heat and save on propane, my favorite thing about the fireplace was the coziness it gave to our evenings. EXTRA AIR CONDITIONER IN BEDROOM: This bedroom air conditioner was one of the best features we added to our rig and it was an absolute blessing when temperatures rose. HOLDING-TANK HEATING BLANKETS: Since we occasionally spent winters in cold climates, we had heating blankets installed for our holding tanks. Anyone who has ever had to deal with a frozen black-water tank knows what a wise move this was. EASE OF TOWING: 5th Wheels are far easier to tow than trailers. They track so well it’s almost like not having anything hitched to your truck. EXTERIOR STORAGE: We referred to our outside bins as “the basement” because that’s how we used them. They were large enough that we could keep a huge amount of items we didn’t use on a daily basis. Show less
