    Trading '14 Cyclone 4100 HD for '16 LM Charleston

    It sounds like a ventilation issue. Same can happen in a stick/brick home if attic isn't ventilated properly. I wonder if it's possible to ventilate the roof/attic area? I think I've heard that Montana brand ventilates their roof? Is it possible due to different construction ?

    Model differences

    Thought I'd give you all an update. After several days of weighing our "stuff", even if we add a washer dryer, we have a buffer of @800-1000 lbs!! I was sure we would have been close if not over our limit, but we are not. We have not accounted for food, water etc but those are adjustable...

    Diesel Aux and main tanks

    Traveling across Montana last year in our Honda, I was wondering what I would do pulling a fiver. There weren't any stations forever. And as mentioned earlier, it would be great to skip the "high dollar" stations altogether. I'm currently think a 40-50 gallon combo storage/tank unit may be in...

    Model differences

    Spent the day looking at Bighorn and Landmark. Wife ruled out the front bath Bighorn almost immediately. Then we saw the new 3760el. Very nice and open layout and accessibility to almost everything when closed. We both really liked it and decided it should be on our short list - until - I...

    Pulling a heavy fiver

    I really appreciate all the great responses and advice, more than I can say!! You're all terrific and I hope to meet as many of you as I can - down the road. Small change of topic, can you recommend a good dealer in the southeast region that carries Bighorn / Landmark? I would really prefer...

    Pulling a heavy fiver

    Curious how many have aux fuel tanks? Are they worth it? does the aux tank affect how the truck handles? I can think of a couple highways where extra fuel is almost a requirement.

    Model differences

    Jim / anyone is there an existing discussion on the differences between Bighorn and Landmark? If so can you insert a link? Or if someone has already created a spreadsheet with differences, can you post or send by pm? Not sure if this helps but we are between the front bath Bighorn and the...

    Pulling a heavy fiver

    The DW really likes the Silverado so this is great news (we have yet to actually drive the ford). Mind sharing your fuel mileage for the trip?

    Pulling a heavy fiver

    Curious as to your hitch weight when loaded to 17,500#. Looking in depth at the big 3: Chevy payload is 5200, Ram is 5,780 and Ford is 6,460!! Maybe that's why I see so many fords in the signature??

    Pulling a heavy fiver

    Really appreciate the great replies! We have no idea of scrimping on the tow vehicle. One ton diesel dually is our target. I see a lot of Ram and Ford in the signatures and not so many Chevy. Want to hear from all about their experiences, especially the later models as we will be purchasing...

    Pulling a heavy fiver

    Hey guys Wasn't sure where to post this so please move if nneeded. We are getting very close to a decision and is coming down to either the Bighorn 3875 front bath or possibly the Landmark Ashland / Keywest. As we will be full timing, whatever it is will end up near its CCC limit. :rolleyes...

    Bighorn Dometic 320

    It would have to be a pocket door (inside the wall), but might be limited by the shower plumbing. The bedroom slide is really close to the bedroom side of that wall, eliminating the possibility of using and external sliding door on the bedroom side (like they have on the other side of the...

    Bighorn Dometic 320

    Thanks for the detailed response (greatly appreciated). A couple of thoughts crossed my mind. First, are there any issues w installing the dometic 320 in the 1/2 bath? Maybe we could get by w single change. Second, the wall behind the toilet in front bath might be an ideal location...

    Bighorn Dometic 320

    Need some help/advice from bighorn owners or factory rep. Has anyone replaced their commode w the new Dometic 320 elongated bowl model? Specifically the 3875 front bath model? If so, did you run into any issues? Hole, frame, wall location/clearance. We we really need an elongated toilet...
