Its funny now, thinking back. We've had our Bighorn now for about 10 years now, way before you could get one at any Circle K. We were heading up interstate 5 north of LA somewhere, and in the south bound lane, we spotted a Bighorn, they spotted us, and we both waved. It gave me goosebumps...

Anybody have an opinion on whether or not it makes sense to replace my batteries in a Doran system vs buying a whole new system from this new TST outfit? From what I understand my cost is about the same either way, for 10 tires. I keep getting no sensor messages and warnings when I know the...

Has anybody replaced the fabric on their awnings with something quieter? Last time we were out, the wind and noise from the slide awnings was so bad, that I actually had to take off the fabric. To my surprise, the awning material was in ok shape, but it was noisy like a bag of chips. If...

Guys, I am considering offering my 05 3400rl for sale. I would appreciate a little input from somebody who has been poking around in the current market, who has a feel for whats going on with prices now. I really don't want to take the dealer hit, so I think I may have a go at selling it...

Some of you may not believe this, however....... I have read a thread or two about slide leaks, and frankly not paid much attention. After having our rig going on three years we finally had to drive in the rain. Oh the misery. Its an Arizona thing :). Of course we were in Oregon at the...

Our Dometic fridge has developed a new feature. It just comes off in your hand. It makes it real easy to see whats inside. Just wondering if anybody else has had this feature, and if so, was the Dometic warranty any good. Ours is 2.5 years old. TimK

I have a question for those of you who have upgraded from the factory supplied size of 235/80R16 to the Goodyear G614s 235/85R16. Other than the lump in you throat when you wrote the check, did you have any other issues, specifically side clearance to all the lil things that Lippert put in the...

Thought I would say something good, cause this often turns out to be a place to whine. This is an un-solicited endorsement. This past Thanksgiving our kids were having some tire problems. So they decided to get a pressure monitor system. The problem is they had to leave to go back to...

While doing some late spring cleaning, I ran across a door pull in my storage area, that I never noticed before. Opened it up, and now I got more places to stash junk. Its a good place to put stuff you don't need very often. Like my workout shoes, and my cleaning supplies. :D

Jim, I think I read somewhere that you had the Doran system. I was reading the manual at the link you provided, and its giving me a headache. (I'm not real good with instructions). Got a couple of questions if you don't mind. Or anyone else who has some experience. You have to remove the...

If your rig is like mine, you need at least a third tank to keep the pump happy when traveling, to allow for off angle parking. The other day I was thinking of ways to trim some weight and came up with an idea that worked out great. If you have a long drive, and don't want to carry a lot of...

Has anybody tried the 89.00 backup camera at costco? Saw one today, looked pretty simple. TimK

I was so amazed by this I had to tell someone. We just returned home from the mountains this past week. When I was in the rig tonight I discovered a cup of coffee in the microwave. Styrofoam cup narrow at the base about 3/4 full, still sitting there like the day I put it in and forgot it...

Scott, I had a chance to take a look at the 07 Bighorns recently. Very, very nice, I really liked the black slide seals. Our 06's are white and nearly impossible to keep clean, however they looked great when they were new. Our dealer has taken a dive, can you tell me how I might obtain the...

We have an early 06 3400rl. The ac put out some really cold air, but the ducts and ceiling venting air flow seemed a little lame. The one thing I did notice is the silly bathroom vent worked better than any. Scott has mentioned that its because its closest to the ac. And that makes sense...

Anyone in the Tucson area looking for a tripod, I got a deal for you. It is missing one foot, 25.00, you haul. Its brand new from Camping World, used it once. Upgraded to a Trailair hitch, so figured it wouldnt do much now. TimK

Can anyone inform me as to the type of automatic transmission fluid used in the Bighorn hydraulics? thanks for your time TimK

What I find a little frustrating is that I cant just look under the floor and see whats going on. In a previous thread I think Scott mentioned that the water tank vents are required by code. Well, perhaps big brother doesn't always know best. From reading the previous posts, it appears there...

Could anyone give me some insite on tightening up the fabric on the slide awnings. A couple of mine (factory installed) 3400rl are loose enough to sag a little bit. In the wind it sounds like the roof is going to blow off. Thanks in advance TimK

Anybody ever removed their underbelly material? Thinking about running some wires, and wondering what kind of job I would be getting into. Thanks TimK

Sorry, Couldnt stand the fact that there were no solar posts. If you havent looked into it, you should consider it. Free electricity, well sort of after you lay down a grand or two. (for a nice system) When you consider what we just paid for the rig, its not that much more money. No gasoline...

Coley, I was in the process of installing my solar system, snooping around under the floor, when I found a small circuit board, about 3x5 or so. Looks like it might be a thermostat of some kind. It looks like it was duct taped to the water heater and simply fell off and now its laying on the...

Could somone explain why the weight on the cabinet door is about 1000 lbs lighter than the scaled weight. Really like the rig but dont understand the weight system. Am concerned about my gcvwr. thanks in advance TimK
