Welcome to the forum. You have undoubtedly found your best source of information regarding Montana 5th wheels on the internet. It sounds as though you have spent a lot of time researching and planning for your future. I'm sure I don't speak for everyone here, but I will say the majority of fulltimers, part-timers, and weekend warriors, like myself, don't get into this game considering the equity prospects. It's like owning a boat in that regard. In my opinion, it's not value-added in terms of dollars and cents (sense?). It's a lifestyle, one lots of us choose to live, regardless of the financial pitfalls. If buying a Montana to live in while you wait for your ship to come in is your intention, so be it, but I'm not sure I'd plan on walking away with more than I started with. Best wishes with your plans. I hope everything falls into place for you.
