As you guys might have notice from other posts, I am looking at trading my diesel pusher for a fifthwheel. I have had good luck with Montana's but the Bighorn's have also caught my eye. The local Bighorn dealer is a Campingworld. I have purchased accessories from them but don't know how they are with customer satisfaction as far as Rv sales and service after the fact.
I am looking at the Bighorn 3160EL and since there isn't one on the lot, they gave me a build sheet to spec one out the way I would want it ordered. Most of the options are self explanatory but some are not.
Is Goodyear G rated tires worth $2323 when it comes with G rated tires?
There is a 12.25X3.375 upgraded brakes with E-z lube axles for $1549. They are 8000# axles but do not change the GVWR
any input about both Bighorn's and camping world purchase experience would be appreciated.
I have a BigHorn 3070 34.5 long. 2012. Customer support has been outstanding, warranty work/service has been outstanding. I only dealt with the Heartland mfg. and/or my Heartland dealer in Oregon. I am not sure if I would buy a BigHorm from Camping World based on RV.net posts which have generally expressed concerns and compaints about Camping World's service. I bought my bigHorn from Guaranty RV in Junction city Oregon. There professional sales staff, (ask for Vance) service staff is just outstanding:) I drove 500 miles to buy my BH. They also took my 12 yr. old trailer as a trade in without ever seeing it and there were willing to drive half way to meet me and then tow it to Guaranty RV lot. Long story short, I am not real impressed with Camping World's sales or service.
1. GY "G" rated tires. My new trailer have Tow Master tires which I knew nothing about. I asked the sales associate if we could replace the tires with Good Years? Not a problem and the change was done at the Heartland Factory and no additional cost to me. I am paying about $250 in Ariz and calif. for the G rated tires. The price you quoted sounds sounds way out sack or some real profit for camping world. I have had great luck and no problems with these tires for the last 10 yrs..
2. I would call the Heartland customer service in Indiana and ask the price for the upgraded brakes and E-z lube axles from them.
