The need for a roof vent can be misleading. My bighorn doesn't have a roof vent because the roof, like the walls are more or less laminated Styrofoam. The air conditioner vents are simply slots cut in the foam. I suppose if and when the foam starts decaying it will start snowing when I turn on the AC.
Thanks for the response, how do you like the Bighorn? This is one of the other models we like but have been wary of because of the roof vent issue? Pros Cons? do you Full time in it? I appreciate your help!
Love the floorplan, size a little bigger than I would like, perfect for the wife. Frame, some of the wiring leaves a little to be desired, but that applied to everything we looked at other than the arctic Fox, Outdoors RV line, and they didn't fit us in other ways. Mostly good quality components, fantastic furnace heats fast, very quiet but uses a fair bit of gas. Had to baffle the 18cf gas/elec fridge but works good now. About 5k miles being towed so far and not showing any signs of wear from that yet. We retire in May, and won't be full time but plan extended trips such as Alaska, east coast, Florida etc. Haven't decided what I think of the fully ducted AC yet. Much quieter than any other rig I've owned, but even with two 15k units it struggles a little more than I think it should. Temps were topping 100 when it was struggling though which is tough for any RV. Fair bit of early issues dealer took care of, but seems to be doing good now. Can't wait to get some trips in longer than two weeks at a time
