    Opinion On The BH Shock System

    I have heard this before. If this is proven true why would the engineers not make changes to optimize the efficiency of the shock addition?

    Opinion On The BH Shock System

    I understand the shocks on the BH are not a IS. Is there a noticeable difference in ride with springs + shocks VS no shocks? Also is there a point that the trailer utilizes one (springs or shocks) over the other or are they both always working in tandem? So I guess I am asking if the trailer...

    Does Adding 8k Axels Change .....?

    We are still looking at options we may want to add IF we go ahead and bite the bullet on a new 5ver. By adding the 8k axels over the OEM: Does that change the rolling overall heigth of the rig? By adding does that change size of springs or shocks? Does it affect or change the ride of the RV...

    Stapled or Dove Tail

    You know the BH as a whole really seems to be a step above. It is hard to look at this price point and get excited, but HL BH has got it goin on with all their FPs. We are pricing out a 3160 and have our current rig for sale. Anyone looking for a nice Open Range?

    Are Disc Brakes A Option?

    I know that LM is available with disc brakes and I hear BH is made on the same line. Is it possible to get them on a BH from the factory? Now that would be great as many are talking about adding them after market.

    What All Is The Yetti Pkg?

    We finally got to check out the BH 3160, VERY NICE! I wanted to know what all is included in the Yetti pkg.? I have read that it includes some additional insulation in the front and rear caps. So would there be a benefit in the summer also? We will not be camping in extreme temps maybe...

    Need Help Figuring MSRP Of Unit??

    We looked at a BH today that we really liked. When I look at a pricing sheet what is figured into the base price and what are considered options? I see a base price and then there are mandatory packages the "King of the Road" and the "Bighorn Premier Package". Are these included in the base...

    Important Recommendations for New Purchase

    We have been considering buying a new fifth wheel (HL Bighorn). Nothing wrong with ours just thinking we may want to go a bit shorter and like the BH. Our objective is a bit shorter and not give up quality. Now that word QUALITY seems to be escaping the final product in the RV industry...

    Stapled or Dove Tail

    I am wagon master and just got back from SOB 5 day rally in Kerrville, TX. While there I saw a new unit (SOB) and noticed what use to be dove tail joints (our current rig) are now stapled. Stopped by a dealer and saw my first 2018 3270rs Bighorn. I see they also are using staples in place of...

    Anyone Buy From RV Wholesalers?

    Howdy Everyone, We have bought several RV's and have piled on with "YES" you need to support your local dealer. RV Wholesalers makes a good point on when you need service on the road your local dealer is not your help line plus RVW has very good pricing. They tout there 2500 servicing...

    Is The Quiet AC Issue Fixed?

    I read some have had problems with the new whisper quiet AC leaking into RV. I read that the new roof structure MAY have addressed this problem along with more flexibility for dealers to install 3rd AC and increased R value. Of course R values really cannot be proven to the end user, but is...

    Ordered a 2018 Big Country

    This is pretty standard in the industry. Actually there normally are 2 models in a given year. An early lets say 2017 and a late 2017. To find your units build date the sticker can many times be found under the BR slide near the front cap on the drivers side. Cheers!

    No more powdercoat on the frame. What?????

    Read HL Stop Powder Coating Frames? Howdy Folks, I thought I read somewhere that a Landmark owner made a comment and others concurred that on Landmark HL was no longer powder coating the frame? If LM I would think this would also include other HL brands. Did I dream this or am I mistaken and...

    Factory Build & Delivery ETA?

    Well talked to my local HL BH dealer. We are looking at the 3270rs or 3160el and have not yet seen or sat in one. Here is the good: He has both on order and start date is this week. WhooHoo! Bad: We will be attending a rally in Kerrville TX on 04/23 then planned some other stops getting...

    By 3270 2017 vs 2018?

    Thanks Tom, this type of response is what attracted us to HL. We would love to get a close up look at the 3270. Looks like not much stock in our area 75979. Closest I can find is at CW in Katy TX about 2.5 hour. If you know something closer or in transit please advise. Curtis

    New Here, Sorta?

    Opinion 3270rs? Me and DW seriously looking at '17 or '18 3270rs. Would appreciate impressions of this unit. May be delayed in purchase as we are 3 years running wagon masters for another brands rally. Kinda hard to explain rolling up in a HL that might anger the villagers. If I come over...

    New Here, Sorta?

    Howdy, Howdy We have been registered on the forum for some time, but wanted to reintroduce ourselves because we strayed. Yes we bought SOB. We are back not because we are unhappy, but because we are thinking of downsizing. With other brands it seems that if you want a RV in <35' arena you...

    By 3270 2017 vs 2018?

    Howdy Folks, Donna and I have been around the block and back, but currently own SOB. We are considering downsizing and really like the 3270. Does anyone have knowledge of what changes HL has in the works for the 2018 model? The MorRyde CRE 3000 and shocks is this a noticeable difference...

    Howdy, Howdy, We have been looking to buy a new RV for about 5 or 6 months. It looks to be between Open Range 349 rls and keep coming back to the Big Country 3251ts. The new lighter wood has really brought this unit back into the running, VERY NICE! Columbus was on the short list, but we do...

    Leveling

    I am old school and carry a 6" bubble level. I either open the door and place it on the floor or place it in the pass through storage. I already had several of these levels and I was too cheap to go buy new stick on levels. This also gives the DW something to do so she feels like I can't do...

    Timbren SES VS Traditional Air Bags??

    Howdy to all! I am looking to beef up my suspension and saw a post that mentioned the Timbren SES www.timbren.com by yport and no one really commented. Has any one else used this over what appears by most to be the traditional air bag system? Which ever one uses does not allow you to load...

    Newest 2014's Roller Shades VS Blinds??

    We saw one of the latest 2014's that just came in and were told that all new units will be delivered with the new pearl paint, roller blinds plus Broyhill furniture. For those that have not seen this it is actually 2 roller shades. One is more of a dark sun screen you can see out of and the...

    Difference between Big Country and Big Horn???

    I must concur and sent Bryan a PM with props to him and Heartland for their customer first approach. This is rare if not unheard of when upper level management go out of their way to be involved in issues good or bad when they really didn't have too. We have decided Heartland is the company we...

    Am I Fooling Myself?

    Yes, I did fail to mention I do have the exhaust brake and what a wonderful thing it is. I have pulled a much lighter 5ver 10k LBs in Kentucky, Tennessee & Arkansas on downhill grades very little need to apply brakes then once decent complete off we go.

    Am I Fooling Myself?

    We are looking at the Heartland product specifically the BC 3251TS or the BH 3260 Elite or 3070 RL. My TV is a 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 6.25' Bed, 6.7 TD , 6 speed AT, 2WD with 3.73 rear end. Now it shows towing capability 13,400 lbs. I know this can be misleading and much more has to go into...
