Only know from what I read and saw when checking them out. The main construction is basically what the old Montanas was. They had a 10 inch frame in the old days. I think the walls and roof are about the same as now. I think they skimp on the thickness of the flooring and wall material and use cheaper cupboards - veneer not solid wood. I have had Montana (and Mountaineer) since 2006 and 3-4 years ago the Montanas REALLY got big. You can't even find a Monty that is 31 or 33 feet (maybe one model) and they used to be about 38 feet for the longest - now , what, like 41 or 43 feet. Anyway the new ones weigh much more. In 2006 the max pin weight of any of them was 2400 lb (empty). Now they have them near 3000. The HC is back to the original size and weight, or close.
