Big County is a Heartland RV which has moved to being the 4th best selling 5er company even tho Heartland has only been around for 4 years! When they started, several guys from other RV companies canme over to Heartland and hit the ground running. Innovative floor plans and unique building technics made customers sit up and buy! And customer service was supurb! Thor owns Heartland...and usually screws up the companies they buy...but Heartland was allowed to run as a competely seperate division and is one of the best.
The Silverback is Forest River product, the 2nd largest RV manufacturer and owned by Billionare Warren Buffet. The tremendous buying power of Buffet means that quality is not cut back and name brand equipment is used, and shortcuts are not taken. Buffet even has his Forest River Managers meet once week in his factorys and pull an RV off the line..and do a random quality audit on it. Every inch!
You've got a good eye for great RV's...and I'm biased towards Jayco!
Both companies FR and Heartland build high quality, well equipped and well made RV's with a LOT for your money. :B
So it would boil down to interior decor you like, floor plans and amenities that you like best!
For example the FR Silver back has as standards...
