Construction details question

I am not shopping for a new unit, but I can't find much detail information as to how the Big Horn is constructed. So I have some questions.

Does it use Adzel or luan for the sidewalls?
I have not heard that we're using Azdel in BH.

How is the flooring constructed?
Laminated and vacuum bonded.

How is the roof constructed and what materials are used?
How are the frame and walls constructed and what materials are used?
What type of insulation and vapor backing is used in the walls, flooring and roof?
Is MorRide 4000 or independent suspension available?
Do the suspension springs use brass and grease zerks?
Are heavy duty shackles used or available?

What pin box is used and what are the options and possible factory upgrades?
What brand of tires are available?
Sailun is standard. Unsure of upgrade to Goodyear.

Is solar pre-wired available?

Is satellite pre-wired and what quality of cabling is used?
Yes. Prewired for a roof-mount satellite dish with 2 coax cables and a data cable for a Winegard brand dish. Then, 2 coax input jacks in docking center for ground-mount/portable satellite dish. Cable is swept to at least 2 gHz.

Is there a water filter installed?

What type of appliances are installed and is there an upgrade to 2k watt inverter/100amp charger?
Furrion stove, oven and microwave. Insignia refer. (all subject to change). No inverter upgrades offered but easy dealer installed option.

Are the running lights and interior lighting LED?

Are there extra spare circuit breakers available for AC/DC future expansion?
Generally - no AC breakers open. Often, 1 to 3 DC fuse locations open. Most dealer can add an AC sub-panel if needed.

Is the wiring multiplexed?
Is the slide control separate for each slide?
What TV and sound options are available?

Thanks for any information that can be provided.

Dave - it was just pointed out to me that I made a mistake when replying to your post. I looked at your current rig, a Landmark and completely missed that you asked about Bighorn construction.

My initial replies in some cases were then, inaccurate and have now been corrected. I apologize. Please consider contacting Heartland on Monday to speak with the Bighorn team (877-262-8032) and they will answer all your questions.

Jim does that mean the landmark is constructed differently?

For the most part, construction is similar.
