    2012 Bighorn TI-35

    This is probably a long shot, a really long shot, but, we are looking for leads to a 2012 Bighorn TI-35 that is for sale. We had one of these new in 2012 and let it go for something "bigger and better" and now realize this was the one floor plan we really liked. I talked with a factory rep...

    Disc brakes for 2015 Bigkhorn

    I ordered my kit from Performance. In the kit you get everything needed except for the brake fluid. I did mine myself, took me two days. It went very smoothly. One advantage with performance is there is a phone number to call if you have questions or problems. You will not regret your...

    Full time state declaration

    Check with America's Mailbox in Box Elder S.D. next to Rapid City. They have done an excellent job for us. FYI, Eastern S.D. has a "wheel tax" for some RV's, Western S.D. does not. Something else to check into. Good Luck in your search and your full timing adventures.

    DIC Message

    What a coincidence. We were pulling our camper home from the mountains last Sunday and got the same message and check engine light on, and reduced power. Luckily our friend was behind us and towed the camper home. Went to dealer Monday, exact same code and diagnosis. He also replaced the air...

    Big country rear hitch

    Sure looks like it hangs down a long ways. Seems pretty easy to be torn off on a minor dip or incline.

    Window weatherstripping

    Greetings, I am curious about the frameless windows in our 2017 BC 3560ss. Every one of the frameless crank out windows have two pieces of weatherstripping about 1/2 inch each missing from the bottom edge of the window seal. Is there a specific reason for this? I am considering getting some...

    New York to Rapid City, Devils Tower, Cody, Yellowstone, Colorado Springs, Santa Fe, then on to our winter RV resor

    We just did that trip about 3 weeks ago. Beautiful scenery and good roads. Just take your time on the western slope and you will be fine. The exhaust brake gets good work out, but that is what it is supposed to do. Enjoy your trip. We sure did.

    Greetings, This is kind of directed at NYSUPstater but hopefully others will respond also. We also have a new 3560SS and are wondering if you operate both fireplaces at the same time. When we do that the circuit breaker trips. Can't believe both units are wired together. Our seal under the...

    Big Country MSRP

    We were entering a parking lot to Discount Tires in El Paso Texas, the entrance was inclined up and as the trailer crested the incline and entered the level parking lot the front two leveling legs on the off door side contacted the pavement which bent the cylinder mounts and also bent the left...

    Big Country MSRP

    Well, we had a little mishap with our new 2017 BC4010RD and it looks like the insurance company is going to total it. If so we will be ordering another new 4010RD. The current BC was purchased off the lot. My question is; if we order another one is the 8k axle option still available? I don't see...

    How to add water when boondocking?

    We use a 30 gallon bladder, a separate 12v pump with the necessary hoses and fittings, and I installed 12v (cigarette lighter) socket in the UDC and the matching plug on the pump wires with an on/off switch near the pump.

    Dream floor plan

    Greetings, This post is for traveltiger, since you have had the opportunity to compare the BC4010RD and the BH3970RD side by side maybe you can tell us where the additional two feet of length are in the BH? We have studied the two floor plans on paper and cannot see it. Thanks

    ATF: Bighorn - BH 3970 RD

    We are very interested in this BH 3970 RD floor plan and are wondering when this will go into production and when pictures will be available so we can see the interior and the interior color options. Our dealer tells us if we want to see this unit and actually "lay hands on" we should just...

    Lippert under chassis storage bins

    We ordered ours from Amazon, installed in under our Bighorn and love the extra storage. Only problem was UPS said it was too large for home delivery so we had to pick it up at the UPS dock. Took about 30 minutes to install after I fabricated a locking device for the drawers.

    Not prospective any longer....I did it.

    Congratulations on your new rig. We were looking at the Montana 3790RD and just about to pull the trigger when we just happened to see the floor plan for the new BC4010RD. What are your impressions of the new BC after a few days of ownership ? We are currently in our third Heartland and would...

    Shower Valve Mounting Box

    I had to replace the shower faucet in our Bighorn. I cut an access hole in the closet wall behind the shower, saved the piece of paneling I removed and used it to fabricate an access panel for any future repair. I don't know if this idea will work for you, but maybe it will. Good Luck. Hope you...

    Is a Landmark Newport that much better than a Bighorn 3875FB

    Greetings, Since this thread started out comparing the Bighorns with the Landmarks we thought this would be the place to ask our questions. We spent yesterday at the Good Sam rally in Phoenix Az, and spent quite a bit of time comparing the Landmark and BH. We feel the quality in both brands...

    Question for you full timers out there

    2007 Duramax won't start

    First: Just a quick update on the 2007 Duramax not starting. Finally got it into a local shop and found all 8 injectors are bad, rust in the fuel rails, caused by water in the fuel and my step son not changing the fuel filter. He learned the hard ( expensive ) way that a $50.00 fuel filter or...

    New Pinbox

    I went to Home Depot and purchased a home garage door weather strip to fill in the gap when I installed my Mor-Ryde. The weather strip is a white vinyl "board" about 1/2" thick by @2" wide with a 1" wide rubber strip attached to it. I mitered the corners, used self tapping screws to install...

    Shower Door Handles Have Come Off

    Ours fell off too. I went to a local auto glass shop and got some of the same glue that is used to install windshields in vehicles. I eliminated the thin rubber strips the factory uses to attach the handles to the glass. Trailer has been moved and used several times and no problems so far.

    2007 Duramax won't start

    My step son has a 2007 Chev 2500 Duramax with 85000 miles on it. To get it started he has to use starting fluid. Doesn't matter if the engine is hot or cold. Doesn't matter if it has been running recently, or has been shut off for weeks. I don't remember the code number, but the fault is "low...
