    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: CA, Pala - 10/20/2021 to 10/24/2021

    Rod, yes, they will pay the $20 non-member fee. I emailed the completed guest information sheets for both RVs to Bill a few weeks ago. Do we need to do anything else at this time? Thank you, Mike

    Additional Windows

    We have a 2017 Bighorn 3160 but this comment would apply to many other models also. By utlizing a TV lift system for the Living Area TV, a large window could be placed behind the TV. When the TV is in the down position, this would greatly enhance the outside view to the off-door side, bring in...

    Yes, I agree with you that. We are in no hurry, just wanting to know what to expect as far as the timing goes. Excited but not in a hurry. Mike

    Bighorn MSRP

    Tom - Thank you for the update. Looking forward to hearing any additional details. Per our dealer, "it was on the way" when I spoke with them last Wednesday, March 8th. I just got off the telephone with our dealer and was told they are expecting it any day but did not know exactly which day...

    Bighorn MSRP

    Hello Tom! Concerning your comment from last week, I was hoping to hear back from you on when we could expect to get our ordered Bighorn 3160. As I noted previously, we purchased/ordered our Bighorn 3160 (with full body paint) from Happy Daze RV in Sacramento, CA on January 2nd. Any...

    Bighorn MSRP

    Tom - We went with Bighorn and specifically the 3160 model because of the perceived quality, livability, and appearance and are hoping our expectations are met by our real-life experiences. Can't wait go to get it and start using it. We purchased/ordered our Bighorn 3160 (with full body paint)...

    Bighorn MSRP

    The 12-week thing is not what I wanted to hear but thank you for your comment. As a rough idea only, we were told by our dealer that it usually takes six to eight weeks. We are about to close out our ninth week since it was ordered. Also, we have never been able to get a build date or shipped...

    Bighorn MSRP

    We ordered our 2017 Bighorn 3160 Elite the first week of January and were told by our dealer that the upgraded brakes (and axles) were no longer available. Same with everything else on the latest "Special Builds Sheet", not available. Hanging by a thread of hope, I pestered our dealer later in...

    Your thoughts on choice of seats

    On the 3010RE the TV is on the back wall. With theater seating, you will have to turn your head and/or set at an angle to view the TV. Ergonomically, the swivel recliners would be a better choice, giving you a healthier and more comfortable seating arrangement for watching TV. Mike

    Bighorn MSRP

    The forced "options" also allows the manufacture to post lower base dry weights and higher cargo carrying capacities than are real to the consumer. As an example, the Bighorn 3160 Elite is listed with a dry weight of 12,015 pounds and a gross weight of 15,500 pounds, giving it a perceived cargo...

    Bighorn gets a new GM - Tom Montague

    Hello and congratulations Tom on your Bighorn leadership role! As perspective Bighorn buyers (planning for a 2016 or 2017 3160 Elite), we are quite interested in your 8/20/2015 comment stating "I have some exciting news to announce in the near future about a project I am working on with...

    Trailer Dry Weight - Includes or Excludes Water and Propane?

    Lyle & Nancy - Thanks for the "yellow tag" photo. While a different model, this shows my issue. I don't foresee any time we would have all tanks full but certainly would go with full fresh water. In this instance, the payload/cargo carrying capacity (CCC) is 1,461#. Take the fresh water...

    Trailer Dry Weight - Includes or Excludes Water and Propane?

    Good idea. Late model 2015/2016 Bighorn 3160 Elite owners, help on weights requested. Am I close on my weight estimates on the following Bighorn options? 300# 5.5 KW LP Generator 200# 6 point Level Up auto leveling 200# Dual Pane Windows 200# Upgraded brakes (12.25" x 3.375" on 8,000#...

    Trailer Dry Weight - Includes or Excludes Water and Propane?

    Don & Kathy - I agree it does sound high but I listed the options and assigned actual or estimated weights to each then added them up. A short listing of the items I have down at 50 pound or more include: 5.5 KWLP Generator @ 300#, 6 point Level Up auto leveling @ 200#, Dual Pane Windows @...

    Trailer Dry Weight - Includes or Excludes Water and Propane?

    Well darn! I was thinking "Dry Weight" really was going to be dry weight but was holding on to a sliver of hope because full (fresh) water and propane tanks will account for about 900 pounds of the 1,200 pounds available. 300 pounds for food, clothing and gear is not reasonable. This will...

    Trailer Dry Weight - Includes or Excludes Water and Propane?

    As noted in the specifications, does the 12,015 pound "Dry Weight" of the Bighorn 3160 Elite include or exclude full water and propane tanks? We are planning to purchase a Bighorn 3160 Elite in early 2017. While reading through various trailer manufacturers information sources, I have found...

    Big Horn 3160 Elite Design Suggestions

    Jan & Bill - Thank you for your comments. You have not driven us away from the 3160 EL model. While we currently enjoy boondocking and expect to even more with the new 3160 EL. However, our time would likely be limited to shorter one and two week trips and certainly will not be the only way...

    Big Horn 3160 Elite Design Suggestions

    JanAndBill - Yeah, I hear you on getting away from the RV parks and off the beaten path with a large (and very nice) trailer. There are places I have seen that are not too far out and without obstructions, such as low hanging tree branches. The first example that comes to mind is on some BLM...
