Just returned from a trip to the Northwest with our BH. No complaints everything worked great. Was able to see a wonderful part of the country and able to stay in our 349 SF portable condo. Made it a point to use all of the components because the warranty period is almost up and they all worked as supposed. Did have some vey minor annoyance-type-stuff that is too minor to mention that we all have to deal with when owning one of these things.
My TV, 2007.5 2500 Duramax, handled the towing with no problems, we made it up and down some heavy duty passes in the Rockies, Cascades, Siskiyous, and the Sierras with ease. The fuel consumption averaged 12mpg for the trip. My hitch, Andersen Ultimate worked great; easy to hitch and unhitch and pulled real smooth.
My only disappointment was the RV Lock that I had put on our BH. As the trip progressed the lock became harder to unlock. I found if I pushed in the door just above the lock it would open, then when we finally pulled into home base (104 temp) the lock failed completely...even the key didn't work. Nothing like pulling in and wanting to start the unloading process and can't event get the door open. After about 20 min and wondering about getting a pry bar or finding a lock smith the door finally opened. I'm not sure if my door frame or strike plate was the problem, I did talk with RV Lock customer service, who was very helpful and sent out a replacement lock. The RV Lock system seems like a good idea but concerned about its fragility after my experience. I did put the original lock back on.
Anyway had a very good trip and experience with the BH 3010RE, looking forward to a trip to S.CA next month.
