Cedar Creek 36CKTS vs Big Horn 3610RE
Looking at upgrading. I am leaning towards staying with Heartland, but wife wants to look around if we buy something new. Thoughts on the two models? Both are 2014. BH is 6k less
Some differences that I am thinking about
CC has 50amp twist lock in the middle of the camper. I do not like that. Needs to be in the rear. BH has power rewind power coord reel in the back
CC has a big resd type fridge that runs on an invertor when not plugged in. Very nice fridge.. BH has a norcold fridge, and the wife is saying she can't put a gallon of milk in there without removing a shelf. I have two friends with norcold fridges in slides that have issues with keeping them cool on hot days. Had to add fans to upper vent for fridge to work correctly.
Both have 6 point level system. :B
Basement layout is same on the BH as my BC so my outside fridge and all******will fit nice. the CC has a smaller access door but same size storage so I won't be able to put fridge on left hand side of storage due to smaller door.
CC has the newer style windows and BH has the frame windows. Not that big of a deal, since the newer windows don't open up very much.
CC has nice quiet air with returns up top instead of the typical air setup. Very quiet inside. BH has standard air units and is nosier inside.
CC has 66 fresh and BH has 72. I want at least 100gal fresh for long trips. Almost no core/state/county parks in IA have full hooks. That would prob have to be a factory upgrade and a custom order job.
