    Is height a concern with the Bighorns?

    On that third one, I wondered if he was still kicking in order to tell the insurance company anything! Those kind of photos give me the willies - have to stop looking at them or I won't go anywhere in anything bigger than a Honda Civic. At some point, I'll take some photos of the low bridges...

    Is height a concern with the Bighorns?

    The trees are so low in my neighborhood (southern Connecticut) that I would probably have a dozen holes in my air conditioner (if it didn't get knocked off) just going a few miles. If I do decide on a fifth wheel when I retire, I plan to sell the house and travel to another state to buy the...

    Is height a concern with the Bighorns?

    Still looking and researching this issue. Looks like most mid-profile fifth wheels are only about a foot lower than full profile models; I'm not sure that's enough to make much of a difference. Maybe a few more tree limbs that would get missed? It looks like even shorter height fifths would...

    Is height a concern with the Bighorns?

    Jan and Bill - I've been looking at wires and tree limbs in my area and I know I would hit a few limbs (many on the right side of the fifth wheel up high) and some of the wires look really close. I do live in an area that takes pride in a lot of trees and I have never seen a place like this...

    Is height a concern with the Bighorns?

    Thanks Marc and Carol. I spent yesterday giving it a lot of thought and researching travel trailers (primarily Airstream) and I ended up right back at the same place for me and full timing - a Big Horn. As you (and others have said), I'll just have to use the proper discretion and tools that...

    Is height a concern with the Bighorns?

    Thanks Paul and Martha - I do think I'll be much happier with a Big Horn. If your kids and grandkids at up to 6'5" don't have problems, then I should be happy. Tim

    Is height a concern with the Bighorns?

    Thanks everyone! I figured I was worrying too much about it, but I'd rather know now than later. If I were only using it on weekends, I might go with a mid profile model (maybe a Sundance), but since it will be my full time home for several years, I want something that I feel comfortable in...

    Is height a concern with the Bighorns?

    Hi, I'm slowly closing in on retirement and one possibility I'm considering is going fulltime in an RV for ~5 years or so. There's many areas out west that I've never seen and would really like to take some time and see that part of the country. Here's my question: I really like the Bighorn...
