We shopped for 2 years and purchased a Heartland Bighorn. 16,000 gross weight is well within my SRW F 350. We bought the 3575. The fit and finished compare to the Landmark with less expensive fabrics and dental work on cabinets. The Riverstone is heavy, the one we saw was poorer on fit and finish than the Heartland. That seem to to be FR of late, bottom quality at expensive price point.

Just curious what the payload is on your SRW and the loaded pin weight of your BH?

If you want a true luxury 5th wheel then look at brands like New Horizons, Spacecraft etc. these are the upper end and you will spend from approx $175-250K. Luxury has a cost and this is it. All will need at least a 350 dually.
Forest River and the others mentioned are wannabe luxury 5th wheels.

I'd rather people have info and make a decision than not be able to make a decision.......hmmmm lack of consumer info......isn't that why the RV industry is where it is.

Thanks ace, if he doesn't want to answer that's fine. I like to think people on the road are safe and know there numbers but I know that's not always the case.

Don't forget to look at the GCWR of TV. I just purchased a Ram 5500 and a Dutchmen Voltage. All things spec out but slightly over on GCWR. Trailer weight is 19k and truck is 11k but have HD brakes, axles etc. good luck with choice.

Holy Moly, our Riverstone has a GWR of slightly over 19k and I still have 2k left before I hit the GCWR of ~30.5k on my 3500 Ram.
