I'm the new owner of a 2016 Bighorn 3575EL. Great coach, I've very happy with this purchase (I've owned Montanas in the past) and making good progress learning all the systems, etc. But battery access is difficult. They are housed in a plastic box with external positive and negative cable connections at the top rear of the plastic box. Unless I'm missing something its necessary to disconnect those cables and then remove the four screws at each corner of the plastic box before you can remove the top and inspect the electrolyte levels in the batteries. Really? Cut power to the entire coach just to check the fluid levels? For someone living in Tucson (where we have to check batteries nearly every month due to the dry climate) this Bighorn battery check procedure is way too tedious. I'd love to meet the engineering genius who designed this system. Just my 2 cents.
