Warany Impact - Full Timing

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.

X2 what they don't know won't hurt them as they say!

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.

This was discussed ad nauseum last year. The consensus of those threads was that this statement is a lawyer-generated CYA statement and has absolutely nothing to do with the ability or legality of using the rig for full-timing.

Folks FULL TIME in just about every conceivable type of RV from motorcycle pull-alongs to Class As with 3 A/C Units

Warranty is rarely a deciding factor ---most are only for 1 to 2 yrs

If you go full time then get FULL TIMERS Insurance....same or upgraded policy like you have on the S&B.
That insurance coverage is more important then any rv mfg. limited warranty.

And learn to be self sufficient and do your own repairs. When you need help....call a mobile RV repair.

I don't think warranties last long enough to worry about it anyway. 90 days, 1 year, 2 years if you are lucky. I guess they would only know you are full-time and you can't leave the rv with them for months for minor repairs, or ask to stay in the rv while repairs are made.

I consider warranties on RVs to be a non-issue over the long term. 1-2 years, generally covering only "defects in materials and workmanship" a warranty is not going to cover whether the thing was designed to last a long time using it the way you want to use it.

If considering long term service plans, often billed as "extended warranties" pay careful attention to the details, what is included, what is excluded, a procedures necessary to getting something paid.

Helpful advice .Thank you all
