I don't want to fuel any type of debate on Montana vs High Country, or any other fiver brand comparison for full timing. Even though we used to full time in two different Montana fivers, now we "don't have any skin" in that game so to speak.

I think the first thing anyone considering a full time lifestyle has to consider is what type of full timers will they be? Will they travel on a regular basis and roll up 10,000 miles or more a year? Or will they spend 6 months up north and 6 months down south and put 3,000 miles or less on a year?

To me that should determine how much of an RV you should invest in and what type of TV should be pulling it. Obviously if you are in a heavier better insulated RV you will fair better but you would need the correct RV that can tow it and not always be maxed out to the limits. On the other side, if you don't plan on really traveling much and can keep your extra weight down as a full timer then maybe a lighter RV and a less tow vehicle can get the job done.
