my wife & i have been looking at mh as well as 5th wheels when we discovered the montana. we have a few questions that would help us with our buying decision.
1) will the one air unit work suffiently in florida( ft. myers) in the winter months?
2) will we need a generator if we plan to stay pretty much in one place as we camp?
3) we are also looking at a chev. 2500hd diesel along with a 29rl montana, along with a pull-rite hitch.
we have driven mh's, however, never pulled anything with a truck or car, will we experience sway on the highway? any advice or info will be tremendously helpfull.
thanks in advance for your help

OK Let me take a shot at this.
Question #1--
YES
Question #2--
NO
Question #3--
YES
Now to qualify my answers.
#1--I only have 1 A/C and I am now in Largo Florida where the temps have been in the mid 80"s. The single A/C has kept the rig very comfortable. It will cool off as we get into Dec, Jan & Feb.
#2--No need for a generator unless you pick a site without electric.
#3--I am currently pulling a 2004 2955RL with a Chev 2500HD Duramax/Allison using a PullRite Superglide hitch.
Heavy cross winds can be felt in a motorhome or a 5th wheel but sway is rarely a factor in a 5th wheel.
With a MH you have 2 MOTOR vehicle registrations. With the 5er just 1 MOTOR vehicle and a trailer registration which is usually cheaper.
With a MH you have 2 engines, 2 transmissions, 2 drive trains, etc that can breakdown.
Forget the MH get the 5er and you will not be sorry, I promise.
