    Big Country Vs Big Horn

    :confused: Is the Big Country and Big Horn comparable, in other words are they the same from a build, specs, features and quality perspective, or is one higher end than the other? Appreciate your feedback. Regards, David

    Question for owners that have the Hand Rubbed Antique Glazed Cherry and Fascia woodwork option.

    We saw a new 3185RL Bighorn on a dealers lot that has the Antique Glazed and Fascia woodwork option. On initial viewing the wood work look very rich and nice, however on further close up inspection we found the finish to be a bit disappointing. It appears that at the factory that wood work must...

    Bighorn purchase question - 3055RL versus 3185RL - hard decision

    We are planning on buying a Bighorn 5th wheel, but have fallen into the issue of buying a 3055RL versus a 3185RL. My wife really likes the 3185RL floorplan and decor, and I do as well, but I have concerns on how practical it is versus the 3055RL. One of my major concerns is the amount of closet...
