What should the "full timer package" include that we don't have now?

That would be my question also. Most of us who fulltime bought the Montana for that reason. Now there are some Montana versions I've seen that are "Camping" Montana's with outside cooking etc. but ours was made to live in.

I think a good upgrade for a "Full Timer" unit would be the MorRyde Independent Suspension (IS),(www.morryde.com), superior water purification system, upgraded waste tanks, and a higher rated electrical system. The G series tires would be great also (American made, of course).

We had the MorRyde IS installed with the disc brakes and the rig pulled like it was not even there. Maybe a higher rated frame for extra payload, of course, one would need more than a one ton dually to haul it all, but I suspect they could lighten the entire unit a tad. We were always close to maximum weight .

Phil has some good points.We had the IS suspension installed on our 06 and we can definitely note the difference between that and this new 13.The 90 amp converter in this 13 seems to do the job over the 55 amp in the 06.The water system would be a good option most of use spend our own money for a system anyhow. G series tires are now a option as is the level up system.

Better quality furniture, better insulation especially in the slides, 2 stage residential furnace, better mattress, better surround sound system.
