We are snowbirding in a Montana High country, and considering going full time. Since the Keystone warranty excludes "residential" use, I am assuming I will void any warrnaty coverage by full timimg...Correct?If so, are there protection plans that can be purchased to cover such things as water heaters, power stabilizers, furnace etc? No complaints with the rig so far, but concerned it is not built to the task.Thanks for any advice.

Montana HC's are built to be a light version 5th wheel. Everything in them is made lighter and therefore won't hold up as well as a designated full time 5er would. JMO but any trailer that uses OSB in it is not considered to be built strong enough for FT'ing. If they're using OSB board then they're purposely cutting back on strength and longevity. Where else are they cutting corners?How long of a warranty do you have left? And how long do you plan to FT?There are many after market warranty ins plans you can buy. Make sure you read the fine print 1st.

just curious ,how are they going to know your a FT?

All of the appliances are covered under their own manufacturers warranty, which are only limited by commercial use.

Even the OP said he was"concerned it is not built to the task". So both the manufacturer and the OP know it won't last long full timing.
