We had a 2008 Bighorn 3370. We suffered spring failures on both sides of the axles. The street side failed and we lost the entire rear spring pack 9/12 causing the frame to collapse onto the tires. The curb side failed 6/13 which blew out a tire instantly, took out the brakes and electrical to the right side of the axle and major body damage. We believe the spring hangers wore out, failed and caused the springs to break. My wife no longer had confidence in the Bighorn and we traded for a new Excel 10/13. Full disclosure, we had at least 50K miles on the Bighorn, including an Alaska trip. The unit was never overloaded. Parts wore out and should have been repaired during normal maintenance.
