    Big Horn Hydraulic Leaks

    Last May we upgraded our 2010 Bighorn to a 2015 Bighorn 3685 Rl (vin #5SBFBG3828FE285714). As soon as I took the unit home and was packing it I noticed a hydraulic line bubble in the front compartment. Since then, we have had two other lines replaced under warranty with similar bubbles near...

    thoughts on Big Horn 3685

    Got our 3685RL in May and we full-time and so far love it. We too were a little disappointed in the window not being behind the tv, but have gotten used to it. We have made a couple suggestions today that would help our situation a little and one that would probably help everyone. We found...

    2015 Big Horn 3685

    Just replaced our 2010 Big Horn 3670 with a 2015 Big Horn 3685 and have a couple suggestions from using it for two months. The first would be to extend the main bedroom closet to be even with the drawers and cabinet to the right. As it is, clothes hung on a regular hanger won't allow the doors...

    Black Tank Flush leak

    While flushing the black water tank, water started to pour out of the bottom of the rv. Upon checking the problem, I discovered that there is an anti-siphon valve behind the circular panel in the shower. Some bugs had gotten into the valve and was keeping it from functioning. If others have...

    Ford F350 4 WD Diesel fuel milage any info

    I agree that the mileage isn't the best at around 9 while towing and 15 mpg doing 70 on interstates. Pulls like crazy, but has limited range with the factory tank so I installed a 60 gallon auxillary in the bed that I got from Northern Tool. Works great and increased the range by adding...

    Outside Stair Problem

    The first three steps of our outside stairs tilt away from the fifth wheel and are loose. When you go to step from the third step to the last top step, the third step rotates and tries to throw you off. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

    It finally feels like Florida !!!!

    Was a good display for the Heartlands and was good for us to meet Jim B. too. Some features on the new models are really nice, but some things on the old models made them nice too. Wish we could pick and chose, but these aren't the custom models and what some of us like others might not. Keep...

    Aux Fuel Tank

    I have an 08 F250 and put a 60 gallon fuel/tool tank in the short bed that I bought from Northern Tool with their kit that ties into the existing fuel line and it was an easy install and I've had no problems in the year I have had it installed.

    No water too!

    Got the water back. Was something very simple, but difficult to find. The handle on the winterize valve was broken and wasn't moving the valve. It showed the valve in normal position, but was actually partially open to bypass and was sucking the air instead of water from the tank. Used...

    No water too!

    We too woke up to no water, but don't think that the tank is frozen. I drained the tank and the water ran out freely and I refilled it only to still have the pump run with no water coming from the tank. Put a heater in the area for two days plus it's been above freezing for over 24 hours so...

    How many of you are work campers?

    We are going to Custer, SD to work camp this summer. 25 hrs./ wk for each of us for full hookup site and $1000/month stipend. Site won't be reported as income as it is required to live on site as part of the security and the park owner gets to write that off as an expense.

    How good is fire place compared to portable heater?

    Have the fireplace in our 3670 & it has been great as a supplemental heat source the past few weeks. We've found that since the heat rises, it even helps in the bedroom when the door is left open. We also had a space heater, but found it was in the way alot and the fireplace more convenient.

    What Email Service do you use ?

    I use yahoo and hotmail both. Haven't had a problem with either. I use one for friends and the other for business as they seem to want to send you advertisments after you buy something from them the first time.
