Aside from making sure your 2018 Keystone Montana is loaded properly (tongue weight should be about 20% of the weight of the loaded trailed) the one thing that I recommend upgrading is your pin box. The Rota-Flex pins boxes are an upgrade from OEM pin boxes but they are definitely not the best solution out there.
Although it is impossible to get rid of the feeling of a trailer behind your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 100% the Reese 5th Airborne Premium pin boxes to an excellent job. They will work with your B&W Companion # BWRVK3700 to make your towing experience as comfortable as possible. These pin boxes use both an air spring and a shock absorber as well as the built-in friction sway-control to make your ride smooth and reduce driver and passenger fatigue.
If your Rota-Flex box number is the common 1621 then you can use either the part # RP78FR.
If you have a different pin box number just let me know what that is and I can make a different recommendation.
