I think to many people worry about whether the 6,000 is strong enough compared to the 7,000 pound axle. Sure the 7,000 pounder is stronger but it also carry's more weight. I gross a little over 16,000 pounds on my Montana so I do need the 7,000 pound axle but if I were 2,000 pounds less like the HC then the 6,000 pound axle would suffice. This is the same with the frame. More weight demands more I-beam and less weight needs less. Just because a Montana has a stronger axle and frame doesn't make it a better rv. The HC has plenty of axle and frame for what it is rated to carry. If you stay within your weight specs and install 14 ply tires on the Montana and a very good quality tire such as the Michelin XPS RIBS on your HC then you should be ok.
