2025 Bighorn Models Celebrate Heartland RV’s 20th Anniversary
A Special Report from our friends at Heartland RV
Elkhart, IN (September 17, 2024) – Heartland RV, a leading manufacturer of towable RVs, is excited to unveil the 20th anniversary edition of its iconic Bighorn fifth wheel at the Elkhart RV Dealer Open House, taking place from September 23-25, 2024, in Elkhart, Indiana.
As part of the introduction, Heartland will debut two brand-new floorplans: the double suite 392DS and the 391MFB with a front bath option, giving dealers an exclusive opportunity to tour and experience the remarkable floorplans and interior design, firsthand.
Known for delivering luxurious interiors and a wide range of features at an exceptional value,
the Bighorn brand has become a top choice for seasonal and full-time campers alike. The 20th Anniversary models will introduce refreshed designs and cutting-edge technology, while
maintaining the spacious comfort and affordability that have made Bighorn a favourite.
Launching with four distinctive floorplans this year, Heartland plans to expand the lineup to five by the 2025 model year. According to Tim Markel, Director of Sales for Heartland RV, “Bighorn has always been a favourite among those who love life on the road or escape south for the winter. After taking a brief break from production, we took the opportunity to completely redefine the Bighorn brand. Our focus was on elevating both quality and design, ensuring that each floorplan serves a wide range of lifestyles, seasons, and camping preferences. We’ve come back stronger than ever, and we’re confident that Bighorn will continue to meet the needs of adventurers everywhere.”
For comfort in all kinds of locales, Bighorn features a 35,000 BTU furnace, an LED fireplace
producing 5,000 BTUs of heat, an advanced airflow a/c system which provides cooler
temperatures, improved air flow and a quieter operation. A 380-watt solar package includes two 190-watt solar panels, a 30-amp charge controller, and a 2000-watt inverter to provide easily accessible, renewable energy. The tankless water heater can produce 144 gallons of hot water per hour for on-demand hot showers.
To create a smooth towing experience, Bighorn models include Goodyear Endurance tires, a
tire-pressure monitoring system, 7,000-lb axles, a high-performance rubberized suspension
system, and a Helux upgraded coil spring pin box. The Titan six-point hydraulic levelling system makes it easy to get set up at a campsite, and campers can access the docking and utility center inside the generous Stor-Mor storage compartment.
Each coach features a striking tinted black glass entry door and tinted frameless windows. Stepabove folding steps provide a secure entry, and a telescoping full-length grab handle offers assistance on the stairs for anyone who needs it. The aerodynamic front cap includes an LED light bar and the industry’s largest windshield, and underframe lighting gives the RV an inviting glow after the sun sets.
Inside, floor plans feature 76-inch tall slide ceilings, flush-floor slides, and pet-friendly ductless
floors. Hardwood cabinetry and slide fascia add a natural touch to the interior decor, and
dimmable LED strip lighting can create the right ambience for every mood. Premium furniture in the living areas gives campers a plush space to enjoy the 55-inch smart TVs and ceiling mounted Bluetooth speakers. Plus, campers hosting guests for dinner or working remotely will enjoy the combination bar, desk, and dinette.
“As one of Heartland RV’s most enduring brands, the all-new 20th anniversary Bighorn models have a legacy to uphold,” said Markel. “Our goal was to maintain the features campers have come to love while incorporating innovative touches. After 20 years, we’re excited than ever to unveil surprises that will excite the most devoted Bighorn enthusiasts.”
The upper deck’s staircase has been designed with functionality in mind, doubling as shoe
storage, and a lighted grab-handle adds an extra layer of security. In the bedroom, campers will find a king-sized bed, spacious wardrobe, washer/dryer prep in the closet, and a second smart TV. Dimmable LED strip lighting adds ambience, while the smart bed base includes bedside CPAP storage with 110V outlets. Beneath the bed, finished storage offers ample room for linens, blankets, or seasonal clothing.
In the bathroom, a residential mirror, sconce lighting, and solid surface countertops create a
luxurious feel. The one-piece fibreglass shower is enclosed by sliding glass doors, and a high-end residential shower head with body sprays offers a spa-like experience. Adding to the
premium feel, Bighorn models feature porcelain toilets and a linen closet with enough space for fresh towels to accommodate guests.
In the kitchen, a 16 cu. ft. 12V refrigerator and illuminated full-length pantry ensure plenty of
storage for longer adventures. A dedicated bar area is perfect for wine, coffee, or beverages,
and a pullout trash can is tucked neatly inside a cabinet. The oversized copper sink lends a
touch of richness, while a residential pullout faucet makes cleanup easier. Hidden undermounted cutlery storage is just one of the many thoughtful details that reflect the all-new Bighorn’s commitment to clever design and practical luxury.
