Montana Fifth Wheel Purchase and Delivery
Our salesperson, Fred, was knowledgeable and helpful without pressure. The process of determining our choice of unit and making the deal on a Saturday was easy and fairly fast. We made arrangements to deliver our trade-in, handle the paperwork, and pick up the new unit the following Saturday. We had a set appointment time to handle the paperwork and the walk-through of the new unit. The salesperson asked us to arrive 30 minutes prior to the appointment with our trade-in so the inspection of the trade-in could take place prior to our appointment time. We dropped the trade-in exactly 30 minutes prior to the appointment time. The salesperson had us take a seat in the sales area during the time the trade-in was to be inspected. He returned to ask us a couple questions regarding the trade-in during that time. Our actual appointment time to handle the paperwork and walk-through of the new unit came and went. Our salesperson, Fred, returned a few times and indicated they were running behind in the shop on walk-throughs and deliveries. After more than an hour had past beyond our appointment time we expressed concern about the delay and asked the salesperson if we needed to make another appointment and come back, as we had other things we needed to accomplish. Our salesperson said he did not have any control over the service department walk-through process. Finally, nearly 1 & 1/2 hours after our appointment time we were called in to sign some paperwork and taken to the new unit for our walk-through. My wife had other pressing tasks, so she just stayed long enough to look at the washer-dryer pair we had installed in the unit and left. I remained for the balance of the walk-through. The unit was well cleaned for delivery. The technician that handled the walk-through seemed knowledgeable and pointed out the details of system operations. However, as we were approaching the end of the walk-through, the technician attempted to demonstrate the fireplace operation and was unable to get the fireplace to function. The technician called the technician that prepared the unit and he said the fireplace had been working. The walk-through technician finally concluded it was non-functional. I asked him to call our salesperson to the fifth wheel, which he did. It was agreed they would see if another Montana in stock had the same fireplace in functional condition and install it, or a new fireplace would be ordered and installed. I agreed to return to take delivery when a functioning fireplace was in the unit. I asked to check the installation of the goose-box we had Broadmoor install on the fifth wheel to make sure the clearances to the pickup would be correct. We made that check and determined the goose-box installation was as it should be. Also, the fifth wheel was winterized when we first looked at it and we told our salesperson we wanted it delivered winterized. The technician that prepared the fifth wheel for delivery dewinterized the trailer. So I asked the fifth wheel be rewinterized while the fireplace issue was being dealt with. I left, assuming it would be some number of days later I would receive a call saying a new functioning fireplace was installed and I could pick up the fifth wheel. I actually received a call later that day saying the unit was ready for pick-up. When I arrived, the same technician that earlier conducted our walk-through met me. He indicated there was actually nothing wrong with the fireplace and that he had simply not known the location of a power switch on the fireplace. He showed me the fireplace operation and I was able to depart with the fifth wheel. There is one cabinet piece in the interior that has a finish defect. Broadmoor said they ordered a replacement for the piece and would call when it arrived. I have not yet heard back regarding the replacement piece. Although some of the experience has been good, the delays on delivery day were significant.

All attempts are made to adhere to the schedules made but as issues arise the schedule may get out of sync causing delays. It sounds like despite the time constraints everything worked itself out. Please be assured that if you have any questions in the future you can contact Joe or Charles, our walk-thru technicians.
