Can you share how you are using the camper? Are you full time living it? Are you mostly going to be on/off the grid?
The reason I ask is that I do have a 2016 Montana and I wish I would have got one with the thermopane windows. My unit does not have any DC outlets or an inverter, so that is a negative as well.
As far as construction goes, it seems nice, nothing broke so far, but I did spend 2 hours last weekend under the camper securing all the potential mice doorways (probably an issue with both campers). We mostly have the vinyl floor in the kitchen and living which is a big plus, but the steps going up the bedroom does not (we wish it did).
Also open up all the windows in the 2 coaches, See if you like how they open and how far they open. My Montana windows open up 4 different ways across the all the windows, drives me a bit crazy. Make sure you lay on both beds as well. I like the Montana, but I did not care for the Montana High Country bed so much.
I wanted an Artic Fox, but the Montana was 10K cheaper. But I am happy with the purchase so far.
