    Canadians in Mexico

    I live near Lake Chapala in Mexico and there are thousands of Canadians who come down here for 6 mos out of the year Oct to April about; some with RV's. I have a 3200RL 2006 w/Ford Diesel and am contemplating selling it at the border (need to transfer permits) to someone (possibly a Canadian.)...

    Main slide won't retract

    I'm down in Mexico and after a year of storage I went out to the Bighorn 3200RL and ran the slides out. The main living room slide would not retract back into the coach. I read the manual and all it said was that there was a restriction somewhere, but there were no restrictions anywhere...

    Stuck main slide

    The bedroom slide works fine but the main slide (living room) will not retract. After two hours (inch by inch) I eventually got the slide to retract. I referenced the owners manual and the only info I took in was that there was an obstruction between the slide and the body, but there was no...

    Cabinet repairs

    The upper cabinets along the living room slide of my 3200RL are sagging in the middle and the bolts seem to have stripped out due to vibration. I added some new sheet metal screws and coated them with an epoxy. I'll probably add a 1 x 4 wood brace under the middle section when I am traveling...

    After a recent breakdown in Mexico I discovered that the Ford dealers here have no clue on how to diagnose and repair the Ford diesel. Although it seems the motor (Intl TE-444) is manufactured in Monterrey and many of the other parts are manufactured in Mexico, all is for export only. Unlikely...

    fireplace fix

    To deal with the excessive heat coming off of the electric fireplace in the 3200RL, I'm going to put a strip of the air pocket foil covered solar insulation along the bottom of the front mantle to keep the heat off of the mantle trim. Then I'll add two 12v computer fans to the inside to the...

    3200RL repair issues

    We just purchased a used 06 3200RL. I figured the first owner probably worked out all of the bugs and thought he was overall pleased with the product since he bought another Bighorn. We've had furnace problems and are addressing those issues now. Not too concerned about heat since we stay...
