    Camping World in Mission, Texas, closed

    I just called to see if the Camping World in Mission, Texas, had the Adapter Hose for my new Weber Q. The call was routed and answered at a different location. The man of the line said the Mission store was closed last week. He could not tell me why. I asked was it closed until fall when the...

    Your feedback is requested on a bathroom change "idea" for Landmark Key Largo and Rushmore

    We do not have one YET, but that looks like a great idea for the new models.

    Is this dealer kidding me?!!

    Here in Texas it is know that RV dealers charge whatever the traffic will bear. Texas prices seem to be higher, especially near large cities.

    2 Bighorns and a Landmark at Elkhart Campground

    The owner of Elkhart Campground gave me permanent ownership of Jim Belitti's site. :angel: Here at Elkhart Campground there are two Bighorns, actually three since one is stored here, and a Landmark. The other Bighorn is Tom and Carolyn who are from Texas also. Another one from Texas is...

    The Kitchen Sink

    The sink on our 2006 Big Horn is showing small spots that look like rust. The general condition of the sink leaves something to be desired as far as I am concerned. I realize that these are cheap sinks and wonder if we should explore replacing it or can it be resurfaced? Has anyone run...

    Road side assistance

    We have had Good Sam for quite a few years and have used them at least once each year. Only once there was a problem. That was this past May on the first day out on our summer trip. We were one hour from home when we had a blow out. We were still in "The Rio Grande Valley" of Texas. They...

    RV Capial Services, Elkhart, Indiana

    RV Capital Services, Elkhart, Indiana We just had some more work done at RV Capital in Elkhart last week. Again, they exceeded our expectations. Last May while on our way to the UP of Michigan for the summer we had an accident in Missouri and almost lost our entire rear end cap. We taped it...

    The Countdown has begun

    Congratulations......I retired in Oct 2004 and started full timing in December. It seems like last moth. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

    Not something you see every day!

    Last year in Michigan we saw a lot of people pulling a boat behind their 5th wheel.

    tires, shocks

    To me the main issues are that whatever tire you buy it is not made in China, it was manufactured within the past 3 to 6 months only. and you always keep the correct air pressure in them.

    At Holiday Trav-L-Park VA Beach

    We spent 5 days there in 2006. We really enjoyed it. We had to get use to the Naval jets taking off and landing nearby. At first we thought their landing strip was in the park. LOL Enjoy your stay. Joseph

    Fulltime with a Big Horn

    We have been full timing in our 2006 Bighorn 3500RL since October 2005 and it has been great. We do not have dual pane windows. It has not made any difference. We did add pull down awnings to the windows by the dinning room and living room areas. Afternoon sun coming in from the west in...

    Illinois Safety Test for "D" plated trucks? Requirement?

    Texas RV Inspection Not everyone in Texas is on the same page about stickers. We have one for our 2006 Bighorn, but did not have it for our 2003 Wildwood. (The dealer that sold us the Wildwood "did not know about inspection stickers.") Out of curiosity we have asked different law enforcement...

I went back to their web site and found out that from Oct 16 thru May 1 all reservation calls should be made to 1-810-523-7530. So please use this number and...

    Cheesee potatoes

    This s a great recipe. It is basically like ours, except ours calls for one pound of bacon chopped up and fried in advance. It is added in when all of the ingredients are mixed together. Joseph

    Virginia Beach campground

    In June 2006 We stayed at Best Holiday Trav-L-Park on General Booth. It was a nice park. It is fairly large, has a store, gas station, post office and a shuttle to Virginia Beach. The only thing I would advise you about in advance about either park on General Booth is that when the jet...

    Pin Box Fairing????

    I had one added to my 2006 Bighorn while in Elkhart last October. It fits perfectly with the lip of the pin box about a quarter of an inch below it.

    We are in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. We are about 10 minutes from Nueve Progresso, Mexico, where the Winter Texans eat, shop, drink, eat ship and drink. One can drive across the border or park in one of the large parking lots and walk across the bridge. (Great exercise to work off the...

    Big Horns,

    The old Air Force Base in Rantoul, Ill, was given by the U.S. Government to that city and they use part of it as an RV Park. We stopped in there on our way home to Texas over the weekend and we saw an interesting 8 X 10 picture of a Bighorn hanging on the wall in the office. It was surrounded by...

    Dodge Ram Towing

    We have a 2006 Dodge with 6 on the floor and 3.73. We get 13.5 to 16 pulling our Bighorn 3500RL. We could not be happier. I went in for an oil change in May before we left for the summer and the service manager ask if we still loved the truck, then he said they have had a lot of issues with...

    2008-August 5th Wheel Trailer Sales Ranking

    That is great news, but not surprising. Our '06 Bighorn will three years old next week and we still love it like the day we got it. There is nothing about it I would change. Heartland still makes the best rig on the road. Joseph
