SOLD Big Sky Montana 5th wheel SOLD

Sold...Sold...Sold...Sold...Sold

 

2007 Big Sky Montana by Keystone.

The Big Sky shows "pride of ownership" by us. Maintaining and traveling with this rigs has been a pleasure for both of us, but it's time to change our lifestyle and go a different direction in our travels. That is if things go our way.


Hooked up and ready to go this morning.
Enjoying another day of relaxation with the awning out.


This is a copy of the original brochure (8 Pages) that showS better what the inside of our rig looks like than I could do taking my own pictures. I will be happy to send or post more pictures if needed. You can click on any picture to get it to it's maximum size and see all the details.



The pictures show 2 rocker recliners that came with the rig but we have removed them and added a LazyBoy dual reclining loveseat that is so much easier to move for closing the slides and it's a wall hugger so does not take up as much room. It is also so much more comfortable. The fireplace has an electric heater that you can turn on and off or just view the mock fire.


Note the 4 door refrigerator and the full size microwave/convection oven plus below the 3 burner stove top is a gas oven. And it's great for making cookies. The couch folds into a queen air bed, just push the button and in about 1 minute it's ready to make up.






The fan keeps air moving around for both heat and cooling; we have spent time camping in temperature as low as -10 degree F. without any problem.
The table pulls out and you can seat 4 for dinner or cards.


We have added the W/D with exterior venting and without putting a hole in the side of the rig.

The tires are all new Goodyear rated for 110 psi and installed last summer. They show no wear.




This is how Keystone puts the rigs together. We have been proud to own the Montana and feel they do an excellent job in manufacturing these units.



The last page of the brochure is a complete list of all standard and optional items that Keystone put into our Montana. The Big Sky Premium, Value package and Comfort and Convenience group are all "mandatory" options by Keystone. You can't purchase the rig without these items.


Remember just click on the picture and you should be able to read it.

on the road, finally...

May 1, 2008 and we are off to see the world. We left Ephrata and about 10:00 AM and headed toward Boardman, OR. We had perfect weather for our first day "on the road".
150 miles the first day at 10 mpg at $4.58/gallon. You do the math, I don't want to see the bottom number. We go lost in Pasco and turned onto a dead end street and had to back out and turn around. Very interesting but as you can tell we made it.

In Boardman we are camped with our back window facing the Columbia river. Here is the view. It is really spectacular. We watch the riverboats and barges ply the river, and closer to shore the geese out with their goslings.
Last night, 5/2, we had dinner outside with the sun setting in the background. We're camping with Kathy and Bryson Bailey, and here she is at the table with us. Prior to this, we had "cocktails" around the campfire with the Baileys and some new-found friends from Bend, OR. Then after dinner we moved inside to have a rousing game of Hand and Foot. (On the table in the background are the flowers I received from our girls and their families for my retirement.)




Today (5/3) Boardman is having a Cinco de Mayo celebration here in their park. We walked over to participate and have some mexican food. (Why are we always eating?!) They have games, a mariachi band, etc. It was fun. I love this hat on Jackie so had to get a picture and share it.



The weather has been cloudy with the sun peeking through at times today, but still quite warm.
I'm still not sure "retirement" has sunk in. It feels like a long weekend. Will let you know later.
Dick:
What a way to start, warm, sunny and a light wind. We will leave here Monday and head, and head, and head, well were not sure where we are going. We need to be back in Ephrata on the 13 so will leave the RV in Oregon and drive up to visit the Dentist and then will pick up the rig and head for Northern California.
Will keep you posted as WiFi permits.
