Greetings folks! DW and I are thinking about buying a 2014 Heartland Bighorn 3875FB w/ Yeti package. It's not brand new, but close. The original owner bought and traded it within a year for a class A; they couldn't handle the towing. So this thing is awesome! Looks brand new. It has a lot of features that are pretty sweet. Has the Yeti Package too. What I don't understand is, how is the Yeti package different form the four season rating, whats the upgrade exactly?

DW and I are contemplating full time RV'ing for the next four years, in DAyton, OH. We are concerned about Rv'ing in winter here; we have no choice. So, is this a good 5'ver to get into?

Anyone have any pro's and con's to this brand/model for someone new to fifth wheeliin?
Also, we're going to have to upgrade our truck too. Dodge, Ford or Chevy diesel? I know, I know, but for this huge 5'ver we want to to be able to tow without straining, so which one. Dually or SRW, what do we really need?

Lastly, we have no clue on what price this thing goes for. MSRP new was $90xxx. We think $52,000, dealer of course wants more. What do you think?

Thanks!

The Yeti package adds additional insulation in the caps and slides, tank heaters and heated main water line. We fulltimed in a Bighorn for six years did great but stayed south mainly. We now have a Landmark and have experienced extreme temps this past winter...got down to -6 degrees and stayed close to zero for quite a while...had no problem at all...
