We have it and love it! My wife and I get almost all our Meds thru mail order for $000! How many times can you say that? Plus $50 allowance per month for each of us for OTC Meds.

We bought a 5 cu.ft. Haier at WalMart this last summer. We also have a small ice maker and we keep a couple of 1 gal. bags of extra ice in the freezer too. So far so good and it's nice and quiet...You can't hardly hear it at all. We decided the smaller 3.5 cu.ft. would be too small. We also...

I use my iPhone as a "Hot Spot" with no gadget needed. I get 3 gigs of data for $40. I use wifi when I'm in a park that has it (which is most). Works well for us.....

baker1121..... I think that the floor is about 1" thick. I took the screws out long ago to move the table. I haven't put them back in and have had no problem with the table moving while we are traveling. Just my opinion... I don't know what the wall thickness has to do with securing the table...

Yes..You will find several on the Forum that have had this problem,including me. You can buy online several places like this. http://www.makariosrv.com/d-seal-for-ekd-base-black-018-312-ekd/ I bought mine at a local RV Dealer,a little cheaper plus I only had to buy the amount I needed. I wish...

I have a B&W Companion setting on my B&W Turnover Ball Hitch. But on my quick research the Flip-Over Model 288 is round. I don't think it will work with the B&W Companion which uses a square "turnover ball". I'm sure someone else will chime in... Take a Look...

"Lost Alaskan" RV Park in Alpine is nice.....

Ya Know.... My cables are really stiff to operate. I'm hoping that one day one of them doesn't break off. That scares me!! I read in a post above that someone lubes them with a dry lube. I'm wondering how that works and if you can get it down inside the cable very far. Chuck I will be curious...

We stayed at the Tall Texan RV Park just north of town back in Sept 2010. We loved it!! Wish we were there now instead of HOT East Texas!! You are right, skyguy... That is a SMALL Wal-Mart!!!

d_fergie....You are right. This is up between Chama & Dulce. But I had to stop and take a picture. I hadn't seen a road sign like this before. Down in Roswell they are "UFO Crazy". They even have a Alien Statue outside of a KFC.

Only In New Mexico...

Yea we love that area too.. Bought our Bighorn in Durango while we were staying with our daughter in Ridgway. I would NOT pull my Bighorn up Hwy 550!!!! (Million Dollar Highway). When we bought in January 08 we had them deliver it to us in Ridgway. They came up Hwy 145 over Lizard Head...

Well...We WERE going to the mountains in New Mexico and Colorado....(see post below) Now our Son is having back surgery in Knoxville TN. So.....we now are going to the Smokies instead of the Rockies.... Anyway.....Does anyone have any suggestions/experiences around the Knoxville area? He lives...

Thanks for the Tips guys... I think we are gonna try out the Cool Pines RV Park between Cloudcroft and Mayhill. .............Safe Travels To All..........

We are in East Texas right now visiting Kinfolk. Before long it will be too Hot and Humid for us here. We are looking for a Cool and Economical spot to spend the Summer in New Mexico. June or so we meet our Daughter,Son-in-law & Grandkids in South Fork Colorado for the 4th of July. Then we meet...

Thanks Ricky.. I will try the UV protectant...but... This is the bulb seal that came apart on mine,not the wiper seal. But I am sure the Protectant would help on both seals. So far the wiper seals that flip in and out with the slide are OK.

Mark,I am having to replace mine too. Mine started deteriorating about a year ago. It got real sticky and came apart when it stuck to the slide flange when the slide was in. We were not parked under any trees so I don't know exactly what caused it. I did find some seal at a local RV Dealer that...

We bought a 32" Vizio LED at WalMart. Our Olevia started getting dark streaks across the screen. I did have to drill new mounting holes in the mounting bracket. Then it worked just fine. They are held on by four 10mm bolts (standard). Boy did the new LED make a big difference!!! I got it on sale...

My seal is coming apart!! I'm not sure exactly why but my slide seal is sticky,only in the middle of the top "D" shape seal. It may have gotten some tree sap or something on it and when I put my slide in for a trip,it stuck to the flange on the slide. Then when I put the slide out it pulled...

We have been Fulltiming 5 years also. Fridge has stayed on fulltime. No Problems... On a related Fridge Subject.... How often do you folks have to defrost your fridge??

Has anyone stayed at Fun Valley Colorado?? It is in South Fork,just East of Wolf Creek Pass in Southern Colorado. I hear it can be pretty crowded,but I also have heard it is pretty nice. It has lots of people that go back every year,so that has to be a good thing. What do you'all think about it??

We Camphosted at this park for two seasons....good people.... Got Kids?? They are close to Six Flags.. http://www.eurekajellystone.com We have also stayed at these two parks in Fenton (right outside St.Louis,Southwest just outside the loop) http://www.bellevillemobilehome.com/...

Ray..I bought a truck that had a B&W turnover ball gooseneck hitch already in it. I bought the B&W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch and it works great. It is a well made hitch made right here in the good ole US of A. This site had the best price I could find and is where I bought mine,with free...

Here is our rig with the Colorado foothills in the background..Same as Signature...

Re: Heartland signtings.... Ken & Kim Gratton.....We like the Jellystone Park just fine.. They are really just getting started in the "Jellystone" deal.. Not at all like the one we hosted in in Eureka MO. last year. They have been a Jellystone for over 20 years and had it all down pat. The...

Re: Heartland signtings.... We are at Jellystone Park Camphosting just South of Montrose CO. on US 550. We saw a Bighorn in Centennial RV Park 2 miles South of us. Haven't made contact yet....

Well I'm glad nobody was hurt.... I hope your insurance treats you as well as ours did (Farmers). This last December my wife and I were coming back from Telluride,CO over Dallas Divide from our daughters house. We were in convoy of about 10 cars & trucks. Thank the Lord we were NOT pulling the...

We stayed at Rafter J Bar Ranch back in September. It is really nice...and Big. It is close to many attractions......Have Fun!!!

No Problems...... See Signature..... Howdy From SNOWY Ridgway,CO

Well to update I have made the deal on a 2007 F-350 Dually,automatic... Like you'all said..."You can't have too much truck!" Now heres is another question...(I know I'm full of questions) This truck has a gooseneck hitch so....... Have any of you folks used or had any experience with a B&W...

Thanks again for all the info... I am going to stay with the 350. I am looking at a couple of duallys. Dang...two more of those expensive tires to buy!!!

Thanks for all your input.... But you haven't answered my second question... "Also am I right about needing a one ton for my Bighorn??"

Hey guys.... I have to replace my Tow Vehicle..(Long Story) I had a 2005 F-350 6.0 and it did a wonderful job. I believe pulling my 2008 Bighorn 3055RL that I will have to stay with a F-350 one ton because of the weight. My main concern is two fold. What is you'alls opinion on automatic vs...

Jeff... Mine was doing the exact same thing.."Fan comes on for about 30 seconds then the unit shuts off" To make a long story short... We found that the wires going to the limit switch on the end of the heat exchanger were too tight and rubbing through the insulation and shorting out. After...

My furnace has just recently started doing this... My thermostat will click and the furnace fan will come on but after about a minute it will cut off because it wont light. I had this to happen before when I was out of propane. That's not the case this time as both bottles are full. What should...
