01 What makes it unique

The 3781RL is the plan dealers move most. It is a four-slide rear-living Montana with a kitchen island, a floor-to-ceiling pantry, a private front bedroom with a king bed and a conventional rear lounge — the configuration the largest share of Montana buyers choose, which is why dealers stock it deepest and discount it hardest. An outside shower and dual power awnings round out the exterior.

It rides on the full Montana luxury build — the 12-inch I-beam z-frame chassis, the walkable Alpha TPO roof, the Four-Season Living package, hardwood cabinetry, solid-surface counters and the La-Z-Boy furniture package. The 14,290-pound dry weight places it just above the mid plans; the GVWR and payload shown are flagged because the 2026 structured payload was not separately published, so the figures carry the line’s 18,000-pound rating pending plan-specific confirmation. A single 15,000-BTU Coleman Mach heat-pump air conditioner is standard with a triple-15K package optional.

It is the Montana for a buyer who wants the most-shopped, easiest-to-resell rear-living layout in the line.

03 The Montana floorplan family

Montana is Keystone’s luxury fifth-wheel line. The line runs to fifteen floorplans for 2026; the six highest-demand layouts are profiled here in full, and the rest — along with the lighter, lower-profile Montana High Country sub-line — are catalogued on the line hub. The 3781RL on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page.

Montana is Keystone’s luxury fifth-wheel line. The full line runs to fifteen floorplans for 2026, plus the lighter, lower-profile Montana High Country sub-line catalogued separately on the hub. Body specifications (lengths, heights, payload, tanks, refrigerator, sleeping, slides and A/C) are RVUSA-verified against the 2026 structured spec records, each page matched to its RVUSA floorplan record by code and title; pin (hitch) weights are from the same records. Montana publishes a 18,000-pound GVWR across the luxury line; the lighter three-slide 3123RL entry carries a derived 16,580-pound GVWR, and the new widebody 3100RL has its dry weight and GVWR flagged as derived. Real loaded pin weights run higher — always weigh the loaded coach and confirm against your truck's payload and rear-axle ratings.

04 Notes on this floorplan

Montana’s rear-living plan

The rear-living layout in Montana’s four-slide range.

Four slides, kitchen island

A four-slide rear-living layout with a galley island and a floor-to-ceiling pantry — the most-shopped Montana configuration.

GVWR / payload flagged

Dry weight, length and slides are 2026-verified; the GVWR and payload are flagged pending plan-specific factory confirmation, and the dry pin was not separately published — weigh the loaded coach.

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 70-gallon fresh tank is about 584 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 16% of the 3781RL’s 3,710 lb cargo capacity, leaving 3,126 lb (782 lb per rated berth). Across 13 Montana floorplans the water share runs 15% to 28%, and 11 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Montana 3795FK at 15% and Montana 3123RL at 16%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).

No source publishes a dry pin weight for the 3781RL, so its hitch load has to come from a scale ticket taken with the trailer hitched.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 34 recall campaigns and 154 owner complaints against the Montana line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.

What to look at on a used one. Across the 154 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are tires (32%), structure (17%) and equipment (16%).

Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Montana line page.
