Dear Happy, That's so simple! I believe I will try that once I take my camper out of storage. Darn groundhog got things wrong this year and I still have a foot and a half of snow in the yard. I do think it's a long shot from the excellent feedback I received so far but it's worth it to me to...

Thanks Scotty. I have seen a few examples of front mounted hitch carriers. Wasn't my first choice due to expense of second receiver but I thank you for reminding me of the option. I will have to investigate but perhaps we will get lucky and someone can chime in that is already smart on the topic.

Hmmm. Got me scratching my head now. Things are sounding tighter than I had hoped. Appreciate it!

I agree if you have the typical, off the shelf carrier. They are usually 48"-60" in width and ~20" deep. This is the reason I am looking to have one made that is 30" wide- to give me clearance in turns. Any recollection how much distance between bumper and fiver I might expect? Thank you for...

I posted under Tow Vehicles and have no responses. Wondering if anyone is using a Class 3 or 4 hitch carrier on their TV. I would like to a 19" x 30" built to carry my generator. My only concern is clearance between the carrier and the Bighorn. Mine is still in winter storage so I cannot...

Floridarvers...how's that for responsiveness? You get a reply from the program manager! I'm sure you'll enjoy your rig. I've been very impressed with how responsive and helpful the folks on this forum have been. I've picked up a ton of tips by reviewing postings here every week.

We ordered one and received it May 2012. We used it more than we planned because we were having fun. The kitchen and living room are quite comfortable and room for everything. The hall storage is very welcome. The bedroom is small but we were fine with the trade off since we wanted all the...

Sorry but I have not seen the 2013. We've been very pleased with our 2012. You should make sure you order the level up system for factory install. It is much more affordable than adding it later and it is really slick.

Ray is exactly correct. Different insurers use different data points to manage their risk. That's why you see such varying rates from different companies. Each one thinks they have the proprietary advantage to maximize profit, manage risk, and attract new premiums. Personally, I have...

I have the four point level up system as a factory option on my 2012 Bighorn 3185 purchased in May 2011. I really like it and it works very well. I guess if you only park at decent campgrounds you wouldn't have the opportunity to really appreciate it. I boondock at some music festivals and...

Just my two cents...I bet it won't raise the front to level because of the possibility the rear stabilizers are not first retracted. I can imagine it doing some damage if they have not been retracted and they sure do move sloooowly.

Very nice! Hope you made a template because I think you could make a nice living off your metal working talent. Sign me up and send me a quote!

I agree this appears horrendous at first blush. One possibility I did not see presented is your local dealer may be concerned about getting reimbursed for warranty work. They are already aware the CA dealership accomplished some repairs/assessments for leaks. I would assume they expect to get...

Rafter J has to be the one to beat. Very spacious and quiet. We stayed there over Labor Day and would definitely return.
