We had a Cardinal for 11 years and it was a great trailer and floor plan. We could not find a new Cardinal that we liked that had a light enough pin weight for our 3500 SRW RAM. Cardinals smallest model is cheaply make to keep it light.
So we bought a 2017 Big Horn 3575el. We love this trailer still after 14 months with it, living in it most of that time. Support from Heartland Corp is great, the Heartland owners forum and club is great also. Most of the large Heartland trailers come OEM with Sailun LRG or LRH tires.
We feel that what we got for our money is a little above the average quality in an industry that is noted for quality issues.
The Landmark, Big Horn and Big Country all go down the same assembly line. Big Country lacks rear cap which was on our must have list.
We looked at just about all West Coast offerings. Montana, Cedar Creek, Cardinal, all Heartland lines, Open Range etc.
We bought the Big Horn with plans to snowbird in it, and now it turns out we are sunbirding in it, as last winter we built a new park model with Arizona room in Gold Canyon, Az after selling our B&S home last summer.
