Don't get too hung up on what manufacturers claim about their units being for "full time use".

Good luck with your search.
There are/were manufacturers that warranted there units for full time use and there are those that may void the warranty if RV is used full time.
All RV's are not created equal. Buyer Beware.
That could be true, it depends on how you look at it. To me being full time means I need a unit that has a better suspension, more insulation built into it, and correctly rated tires. What I don't need is RV double paned windows, which are just two thin pieces of glass without any argon gas in between, and some of the other stuff some manufacturers claim make a unit certified for "full time" use.
My 2014 Montana has all available packages but not all available options. We travel and use it as a full time residence but it takes a lot more maintenance and "tender loving care" than our stick built did.
