I ordered a Big Country 3596RE and I picked it up last Monday. The model I ordered from had a dry weight at 11,900 which was perfect. The brochure had it listed at 12,200 which would have been ok. When I went to pick my BC up, the sticker had the dry weight at 13,078. It had the very same things from frame to furniture (no upgrades) as the show room model. The deanship said there shouldn't have been that much of a difference but couldn't tell me why. Does anyone here know why there would be that much difference? I knew there coud be a couple hundred pounds plus or minus but not over a 1,000 pounds. I emailed heartland to ask the but I haven't received anything back yet. I was just wondering because it did put a damper on what I wanted to carry with me. Thanks for any information.
