Light vs standard 5ers. We have a 2014 Montana High Country which we bought new and have about 50,000 miles on and have used for month long trips several times. We really enjoy it and are very pleased with the construction and reliability. At the Montana Owners Club rallies I don't see HC owners having a lot more problems or complaints than the heavier Montanas. If you will take the time to get a Montana brochure and a Montana High Country brochure and compare the two you can easily see the differences in construction, appliances,etc. Yes, the HC has a smaller frame and a different floor construction but the wall thicknesses, cabinet materials, counter tops, bath fittings, furniture, roofing, insulation values, tank sizes, AC wiring for 2, ready for W/D, water htr. size,5er height and width, slide activation {HC all cable-Montana some cable), tank sizes, appliances, electronics, leveling systems, etc. are pretty much equivalent if not the same. I'm not saying that they are the same level for full time use but for 100 -150 nites a year use I don't believe the additional $20,000 would be worth it to me. I don't believe that you can do a visual inspection of my HC and the closest equivalent Montana and say that the regular Montana looks to be a much higher quality build. I think that a lot of the responses here are peoples suppositions not that they have really fairly compared "light" vs regular. I don't think a "highly elited" RV would make me any more elite.
