Heartland have only been building RVs
since 2004; already they're in the top 10 fifth wheel
manufacturers and they tell RoTi that they expect to be in
the top 5 soon. Such rapid growth they must be good!
The Heartland Bighorn comes in 3 lengths
and 7 floorplans. The longest model is
33'7" long and the shortest 28'3". We show 3
floorplans below.
Heartland have advised RoTi that base
MSRPs are in the range $40,000 to $45,000.

patent-pending front cap design, which features a 30
percent increased turning radius, perfect for
short-bed trucks. |

Heartland says: "The stunning new Bighorn
is nothing short of spectacular - in both its luxurious
interior appointments and outstanding design concepts.
Featuring real hardwood cabinets, including stiles,
oil-rubbed bronze hardware and lighting, elegant furnishings,
flush-floor slideouts, and an abundance of interior and
exterior storage space, the BIGHORN is truly a fifth wheel
that is taking affordable luxury to the next level.

FLOORPLANS:
The 3670RL floorplan is shown
below. This has a length of about 38'3" and 4 slideouts
giving a very spacious arrangement. This floorplan
features a side aisle. The 3600RL arrangement (not shown) is
similar but with a center aisle. We show a picture of
the living area of this model further down.
The 3400RL floorplan with 3
slides is shown below
This is a mid length Bighorn with length about 37''.
This arrangement features a center aisle with a split
bathroom arrangement. 2 other floorplans are available
in this length, one featuring a side aisle and the other
featuring a rear entertainment center.
(These floorplans - to maximize the space and make them as
easy as possible to look at - are not shown to the same
scale of course ..)
The 3055RL floorplan with 3
slides is shown below
This is the shortest Bighorn; the length is only 33'7" but a
good arrangement makes the most of the available space.
The bedroom is shorter but the living room arrangement is
very spacious.

We have a 3385RL Bighorn 2009. We have had nothing but trouble with it especially the black tank. Heartland needs to give more in quality than in looks. Oh the dealer Ken Mitchell in La would not stand behind the unit or the promises the salesman made. would not recommend anything Heartland makes. They need to take their time and get it right. |
| tom and sandy | We have a 30LSTS cedar creek silverback. like it very much except we cannot stop along the road for lunch without extending one of the slides. Being new at 5ing we did not consider this. The bighorn 3055 remedies this situation well and would have some upgrades to our traveling. Any comments are welcome. tom and sandy |
| Grace | We have a 2008 3200 RL and we love it. I like the walk-in wardrobe and all the storage. It's all good quality and well thought out with lots of features. |
| Gene Sloan - Heartland Owners forum | Well, it finally happened. Our long awaited 2009, 3600 RL BH arrived. On May 20th, we took possession and pulled it home to put it on display during our 50th wedding celebration, May 24th. About a year ago we started thinking about what to get each other for this momentous occasion and it just all came together in a 3600 RL BH. We looked at park models, motor homes, 5th wheels and everything in between. We certainly didn't want to cheap out and not get the upgrades we had always dreamed of in 50 years of Rving. Grandma wanted a washer-dryer, a desk for her computer and lots of cupboard and closet space. Grandpa wanted a fireplace, a docking station, electric awning and lots of basement storage. Of course, there were other things that we both agreed were ncessary upgrades, such as stability, which we took care of with a set of strong arm stabilizers and an upgrade in 5th wheel hitch, which we took care of with the 20K Curt Q5. We also wanted a touch of luxury, which was taken care of with the BH woodworks, flat screen tvs, entertainment system and much, much more. We started working our way through the myriad of makes and models last Feb during a car trip to Az. We, at that point, had never heard of a BH. But as luck would have it, we stayed next door to a BH dealer in Mesa. Then our neighbor in the park, where we were renting, had a 2007 BH and volunteered to give us a tour. When we got back to ND we found a great BH dealer within 50 miles of where we live. We did a lot of comparing of prices and quality. No make or model came close to the 3600 RL BH. We also found the Heartland owners website to be a great service to prospective owners. The negative stuff is a little scary; however we have learned that nothing is perfect and some people handle our imperfect world by being positive and some by being negative. I thank Hearland for soliciting positive criticism. In my opinion it is helping to produce the best 5th wheel on the market today. Our new BH didn't come perfect, the dealer found a couple of minor defects and Grandma's keen eye found a couple. all being taken care of by a proud dealer.
Needless to say, our friends and relatives attending our 50th anniversary party were very impressed with our winter home on wheels. Meanwhile Grandma and Grandpa are looking forward to their 51st year of marriage and our first winter in our new BH in Salome, Az. It doesn't get much better than that. |
| dickie sundance | I just love that big old horn. |
| traveler | WE ARE LOOKING TO BUY A BIG HORN,AND WE TRAVEL A LOT.HAS ANYONE HAD A PROBLEM FINDING A DEALER THAT WORKS ON THEM? |
| Bob and Linda | We have a 2008 3670RL and love it. We are having trouble getting the satellite in the bedroom to work. We have a second receiver but still no luck. any idea? Also, anyone got the wiring schematic for this 5r? closest service is over 70 miles away. |
| Gil | We have had our '07 2995RK (31'-7") for a year now and are, overall, very pleased with the layout, materials quality, storage space and interior design. We are a little disapointed with some workmanship issues we have had, but all have been resolved and we still consider the Bighorn an outstanding value. |
| Lance | We are looking at buying a Big Horn 3670RL. Would like to know what kind of tow vehicle you have? |
| F & A | We love our 2008 3055 Big Horn. The comfort and feel of home away from home makes this 5th wheel the best. We have had the problem with the leak in the bedroom slide but our dealership took care of us and the leak. |
| big J | I have a 2008 3055 big horn and have only used it 3 times so far. When in rain I am getting two small leaks in the upper two corners of the bedroom slide. Has anyone had this problem? What can be done to resolve this problem? The dealership just put some cocking to solve problem, but I don't think that is a true fix to the problem. The 5er otherwise is a awesome choice. Great value for the price. |
| John and Rita | Sorry, Tommy K, but the 3055 is also listed (on our computer) as "33'7," and there is no "extended hitch pin." The hitch is at almost exactly the same point as the "nose." Still, either measurement is a far "approximation" from the actual 36 feet. Yes, we also thought the unit was "great." But, because of the "misinformation," our garage would not accommodate it. We were VERY disappointed to have to return it. But the salesman has taken responsibility (even if Heartland would not). We would not discourage anybody who does not have space limitation from considering this RV. But all would be advised to be wary of company info. We'd like to prevent others from making our "mistake." Just musing, but we wonder if "Tommy K" is a pseudonym of "Heartland." Thanks for your input. J&R |
| Tommy K | To John and Rita. It looks to me like YOU made a mistake here. I have a 2007 Bighorn 3055. (Very happy, great 5er.) On the Heartland website specification page it clearly says that for the 3055 the length is 34'7". The 33'7" you mention is for the 3100 model!! In addition there is an asterisk that says "Extended hitch pin adds 9" to overall length", so that brings the length to 35'4". It's obvious it wouldn't fit into your 34'7" garage. Check your facts again. It's a pity it doesn't fit because it's a great trailer. |
| Dan | I have a 2008 Bighorn 3670. The only problem was the satellite cable going to the entertainment slide. Could not get a signal thru. The dealer replaced coax and no problems. Really love this floorplan. Have you contacted Heartland directly? Some people have had a few problems and the factory has stepped up and taken care of the problem |
