Hydrotherapy is healing, relaxing and necessary for those of us in back pain, or pain of any sort. Especially needed if living in one. Basically, camper showers suck. Someone got smart and place a full size soaking tub in this camper. Kudos to you!!!
Yeah this was a winner. The big boss let me stock one ONCE and everybody loved it But felt it was a fluke one-trick pony. I *KNOW* there's merit to this design. It's awesome for full timers or seasonals who stay put rather than tow around I think
We live in a 2013 Montana. Love the real wood, u kitchen affords more cabinets and happy with the upgraded systems, tires, etc. Still is in great shape living full time since we bought it brand new, 5 1/2 years ago.
Ione Evans my wife is one that prefers a bath over a shower and I am just the opposite. So this would be great for us both. Now how do I get the time off to enjoy it?
This is by far my favorite RV. I have a pain condition and soaking in a hot tub is a must. I have been looking at RVs just very recently and was always disappointed whenever I saw a shower only or a very small tub. Hated the idea that I’d have to rent a hotel room every two days just to get some bath time in. In a perfect world, I’d trade out that half bath for a laundry room. I would never need it. But definitely would need the laundry area more
Quick as info: Sadly the soaking tub feature was removed from Montana's lineup. I *loved* it and was sad to learn when it had been replaced by a more common front closet. Unfortunately there's no way to even custom order it any longer.
Just found out my husband is planning a 3+ week camping trip. Sure would be nice to have this RV then. I like baths. I hate the shower in our camper. It's really small and aggravating. Going to be a loooooong trip without my tub.
Josh, my husband and I are moving into an RV for full time living, you've helped me LEARN so so much about RVs. Because of you I know I definitely want a 5th wheel lol because of you I actually know what I'm talking about and I'm quite educated about RVs. I definitely don't know everything, you teach me new things all the time lol I appreciate the time you take to go through EVERYTHING in the RVs! I really do!
Omg, I HAVE to have this camper one day! I HATE showers! I am a bath person. I love the big bedroom too. And all of the receptacles! Too bad my husband is going to have to buy a bigger truck to pull it with.
First Holy Cow ... what a Camper. My wife is in Awe over this one. Yes it was longer but the fact that you take the time to show everything . You also cover all the Pro and Cons. Absolutely Great Review. Very Honest. Can’t beat that. Blessings from Gettysburg Pa
#1 Luxury Fifth Wheel for 17 straight years #1 Fifth Wheel PERIOD last 2-3 years #1 Fifth Wheel chosen by 1st timers... Sounds like you just have good taste ;)
I wish they still made this with the front soaking tub. Unfortunately it's no longer available. But the new version DOES have a giant front closet thankfully! Here's a look: bit.ly/3n4TqKA
Makes sense! Turns out they did it so you could more easily get to the plugs and stuff in the back. The "watch from the tub" thing was just a happy accident as Bob Ross would say :)
Can you even call this a TINY house? LOL I wish they still made this layout with the front soaking tub. Apparently it simply was not requested with enough frequency. Right now North Point seems to be dominating the front Bathroom designs with this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e2stp0kWQ_I.html
Good job on the video! I wonder how many floor plans have a soaking tub. Would be wonderful for my Arthritis. Enjoy your videos. Have a wonderful day Sir. 😉👍🏻
Love it! Thank you for taking the time for doing a detailed walk through 😊 we would love to full time soon! But we live on SD and we wonder how it would be to live in a rig for the winter? We would probably start out in ND to spend some time with our grandsons!
Perhaps this will get you started: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TwCMIkHANTc.html Also: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FhjRw-segNE.html
kristi tarnowski I lived in an RV through a winter ❄️ in Wisconsin. It’s not bad but during the winter they do shut off the water 💦 so the lines don’t freeze. So, you have to get BIG jugs of water and boil it for bathing 🧼 and doing dishes.
Just chilling on a Saturday watching your reviews, they are very informative and interesting don't think you miss anything. Much better reviews than some others have seen almost like they don't know the rv.
Nice rv and I do love the tub But I do have a problem with the windows. .even though you're sitting in tub looking up at the stars at some point you have to get up. .with lights on I do believe people can see you and I do not want to scare anyone. .lol Also enough with the island in kitchen. .to me islands were made for big roomy kitchens. .would be better to have L shape with counter or even try a U shape. .then it feels like you have a true kitchen and living area. .even if it's 2 people living full-time remember at some point you need and want your own space. ..I think a front living room with step down to kitchen then a nice laundry area and big bedroom with huge bathroom to accommodate a soaking tub. ..I can vision that. . Oh don't forget the fireplace..
Love your videos, attention to details and sense of humor. Not sure if anyone has ever told you, but your voice sounds just like the actor Jon Cryer. You kind of look like a younger version of him as well. Instead of “RV Nerd”, you should dub yourself as “The Movie 🍿 🎥 Star 💫 “, lol 😁
Who doesn't love griddle country? I've never seen a griddle get busted out in the morning and been like "aw crap! here we go again!" I'm always like "AWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAH! PANCAKE OR SOMETHING GOOD IS ABOUT TO HIT THIS PLATE!"
Why not sell your house and use the equity to get a nice RV? Then you can at least boondock somewhere close and still go to work as normal? That's what I'm doing right now.
A more traditional front bathroom without the soaking tub will likely have what you seek. Models like our Pinnacle 36FBTS or Eagle 336FBOK for example. Here's a sample: bit.ly/2QRoZ7L
Hi Josh. We're thinking about full-timing in something like this which is a very impressive model. We're also thinking about a Northpoint. I know the Montana and other Keystone models mention having two attic vents. I haven't heard you comment about Jayco's having these attic vents. Do they?
Love your informative videos. I noticed the furniture in the LR are different than the furniture on the website in the same model. I think this furniture looks nicer. Is this the furniture available on the 2019 model?
Not fully following you here. What you see is the current generation at the time of filming. This is the furniture all current Montanas are using. It's a "late 2019" change. Earlier 2019's have slightly different furniture.
Thanks, I will clarify ... although I think you answered my question. While watching this video on the Montana I noticed some nice RV furniture, which I don't often see. The sleeper couch and the double theatre seats were light in color and had buttons or tucking on the backs. From your answer I'm to understand that if I were to order a Montana now, it would come with those two pieces? Even in the 3811MS? Also, am I able to get a different backsplash, or have none at all and I will add my own? I have not worked with Montana before so not sure how that works. Thanks for your time. P.S. I'm sure you've heard this before, but the reason your videos are so good is that you spend time answering the questions we are thinking, and you spend the time opening the cabinets, etc. Thanks for that.
@@carolcunningham Yes, the furniture you see in this model is the current style for any Montana produced at this time. It's an extremely recent update that began only around late August / Early Sept
Great videos!!! We are in the market to purchase a fifthwheel with a second bathroom. I was excited to see the new color and furniture package for 2019. But I'm VERY DISAPPOINTED to see that Keystone did away with the arch barrel ceilings... making the ceiling height much much shorter! I'm 6'4" and noticed it alot in the bedroom and bathroom.... do u know why they did this, was it to cut cost and is this the norm going forward with Montana?
You're right they did away with the barreled ceilings, but you're mistaken about the loss of interior height. Interior height was GAINED in the exchange. Instead of the ceiling curving down at the edges it's now the height of the previous "apex" of the curve all the way across. You picked up a significant amount of sidewalls height. This also allowed them to improve the ducting of their A/C systems to gain roughly 15% more airflow. It was an *excellent* upgrade.
We are not a Wildwood Dealer. That's not a floor plan unique to them by any means. You can see similar layouts including a VERY close counterpart called a Grey Wolf 29BH here: bit.ly/2s3d5PP
Unfortunately this soaking tub model was phased out & replaced with a more common front closet variety. We were sad to see it go as we enjoyed having this model among our lineup
Unfortunately this model is no longer in production so it's a bit of a moot point. Montana still builds a fantastic front bath, but now features a more common front closet.
Keep in mind you lose heating efficiency when you do that. We carry products built both ways & know the benefits and drawbacks of each system. If you're concerned with the idea that "dirt will get in the vents," then know $5 can overcome that challenge w/o losing the superior heating airflow of floor vented heating with these things here: amzn.to/2RXZMd8 We'd be happy to buy you a whole box of them lol
@@sandrajohnson6005 Quick correction for you: It requires 12v for ignition, but requires propane for heating. Electric sources are not powerful enough to heat on-demand in RV applications.
Hi Linda! Tankless water systems don't have a vessel they heat then pull from when you need hot water. There's a small channel thru the water heater that is quickly heated as water runs thru it in real time providing you hot water on the fly When you're boondocking the water comes from your fresh tank When hooked up to park facilities, then it's heating the water coming in from the hose on the fly!
I TOLD my husband to buy a bigger truck! I don't even have to look at another camper. I hate showers. I always take baths. If he wants to eventually be a full-timer, he's going to need a new truck because I'm not full-timing in any other camper! I NEED my bathtub.
Just a thought... Why have 2 toilets? The majority of the time will only be 2-4 people staying in a unit like this and it would be nice to have a bathroom that has no toilet at all in it. The half bathroom in the middle is more than ample to cater for anyone who is staying in there. Added to that is in the case of this unit if the front toilet was taken out of the bathroom it would allow for the layout in the bathroom to be altered in a way that gives you the same nice large bathroom but can move the bedroom along which in turn give you a larger kitchen/living area
In a floor plan like this the 2nd toilet eliminates the need for guests to walk through your bedroom (which is typically viewed as a very private area). Attempts have been made to remove that 1/2 bath from some brands. All of which proved immediately unpopular. If the idea of the 2nd bathroom doesn't do much for you, then flipping back to a conventional from bedroom / middle bath is the direct solution.
@@sv4851 Ah! Makes more sense lol. While it might work for some, it also introduces more steps at night which most FW owners dislike. The toilet isn't really "in the way" of much in the front master bath as it is. It's likely something that could VERY easily be done aftermarket in a literal matter of minutes.
@@JoshtheRVNerd My wife and I will be in contact with you guys at some stage. We are from New Zealand and planning a USA/Canada RV trip, then export the unit out to Japan for 1 year then on to Australia for 2 years and back to NZ. We like what you do and how you present your product.
for that montana what size pick up truck u will have to get to tow that camper with it a lot to haul but also it nice too with all that said and done how much the package deal
Susan Schexsnayder for that weight and profile, you could technically get away with a one ton single rear whee with air bags. But wouldn’t recommend it. One ton dually would be the way to go. F350/dodge 3500/Chevy 3500. Add bags for a better ride to the one ton as well.
We have done it before. We're not container shipping experts by any means, but are happy to help arrange delivery to the port of your choice here in the contiguous states from which you could make final arrangements.
Sadly... Montana just discontinued this model (like... JUST). They still offer a front bath with a full closet, but the soaking tub's time is done it seems. You can review other front baths here: bit.ly/2H6YSUN & Other Montanas Here: bit.ly/2L4zt3V
Axles come in plenty of weight categories. Quite a few fifth wheels this size and larger are tandem axles with appropriate chassis & running gear combinations. Like the entire Jayco Pinnacle series.
Apologies Brian - this is aged footage of a floor plan that has since been retired so I don't have specs availability. They still make a front bath model but it no longer has the soaking tub. Here's the current version of it: bit.ly/3n4TqKA
This vid being a "few years old" at this time, I have no idea if you'll get this message but hell.... This is a nice floor plan with the tub. I'm a guy but us guys could use a tub to kick back and rest the ol' back now and again. I'd probably think about this with regard of the lost closet. There are other areas to place the hanging stuff and still have the tub as well. Now, let's talk about the comment of the wife, the shower and the height phrasing to be used in todays society and to keep everything "politically correct" to not hurt those feelings of some weak folk out there. We prefer to be called VERTICALLY CALLENGED. No longer using the "gravity friendly" (or what ever you said) and cerainly never to use the word "short", especially around us "less heighted" folk out here in this world. Always remember to be happy and enjoy life to the fullest cause we don't get a second chance! Go Brandon!
Yep! Still see them :) Here’s some updated footage of this one m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MEBWMBOswGk.html No more soaking tub but man.. beast mode
This RV as seen with the soaking tub is no longer produced. A similar updated design will full front closet is still available however. Pricing will naturally vary based upon your options preferences. Here's a look at one really heavily loaded & painted: bit.ly/3n4TqKA Our team can send you a build sheet & assist with pricing any time at www.haylettautoandrv.com/contact/
While Montana still builds a similar front bath model they no longer offer this RV as shown with that soaking tub. I'm not really aware of any mainstream brand offering it at this point. Most of them are laid out similar to this now: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e2stp0kWQ_I.html
Currently sold out & some things have changed since this footage went live. Give our team a call at 800-256-5196 & they can provide a quick figure for one built to your preferences.
I tried to leave you links in the video description where you can always check current pricing and availability as opposed to now completely outdated and invalid pricing from several years ago in the city was posted on a mile that’s no longer produced. Hope that clarification helps. It’s always one click away never requires a call to anyone here That being said we’re actually reworking our website right now so it’s possible some links are broken temporarily
This model with the soaking tub is no longer in production (much to our chagrin). You can see currently available front bath models here as they come in and out of our inventory: bit.ly/33wMAke
Wait... Most people don't have first aid kits in their RV's? Well that's kinda silly. It's either your home or an extension of your home, and you keep a first aid kit in your home, right? I hope .... Lol
