I would recommend the Big Country. They are well made and have many features that are found only on higher end models. They have great insulation values and ours pulls as well as it looks.I would also mention the heartland forum that is monitored by the factory reps. They have by far the best customer service out there.

Georgel,
Rumors and hersay doesnn't belong on this site. We just priced a Sunnybrook and their brouchre states 2 year warranty. I wasn't overly impressed but that has nothing to do with your "warranty knowledge".

I read that SB had shortened their warranty on one of the RV forums, that's why I told the OP to check and see.They quit selling Sunnybrooks here in Oregon 4 to 5 years ago.

The Big Country is very nice - we came very close to getting one recently. It would be one of our top choices given the 3 you are looking at. The new ones have added a lot of standard features that are similar to what we ended up purchasing. For weight, the Big Country is not light at all .... that is why we have what is in our signature now. It is 11,400 lbs dry (for a 39', 5 slide camper that is not too bad  The similar Big Country would have been ~ 1500 lbs heavier.

Not anymore, they're back in limited production. Believe it was Navistar that now owns them. Anything you buy from them now,(check to make sure) has a 1-2 year warranty..believe a new Savoy would be 1 yr., but I'd call to make sure of all this before purchasing one. I believe the Heartland might be the best way to go.
Rmcgraph53 mentioned a MS for "right at" $50,000...better have the truck to tow that one with...they are heavy...great units...but original poster would probably need a dually to tow a MS with.

Gotta love all the experts, With the exception of mobile suite no one offers a frame and superstructure as strong as Sunnybrooks higher end models.
These things are built to last a long time with minimal flex.

Don't recollect anyone calling themselves an expert in here. Only three models were asked about, I believe if you do a little research, you'll find that almost every manufacturer has had some good ones and has also produced an occasional "bad" one, including Sunnybrook. In reality all three aren't bad. Guess you love yourself, because you too apparently are a self proclaimed expert on the suject, as least you came off as one...Most stated in here are opinions, or opinions based on experience............

Heartland offers Big Country customers the most structural integrity. Check out www.heartlandrvs.com and click on "YOUR LAMINATED WORLD" video. Big Country offers UNIBODY construction with laminated roof, floor, and sidewalls.
Also, Big Country is PROUD to be a little heavier. Did you think about why competitor's products are lighter? What did they leave out?
Big Country offers proven hydraulic slide room systems, 10" and 12" I beam frames, plus the laminated floor and roof systems. Big Country is money well spent!
