    ATF: Bighorn - Roof Question

    Yes, that's what I read in the manual but when I talked to customer service at Heartland they told me to call the manufacturer, Dicor, which I did. They suggested a "Roof-Gard" after cleaning. But my question is about the "thing" we swept off the roof. Is there a small plastic tube about 2 -...

    ATF: Bighorn - Roof Question

    We cleaned and treated the roof of our 3570RS for the first time yesterday (picked up unit end of March). We noticed a small "bubble" of the roofing material about the size of a fingernail with a hole on the side. My husband was sweeping off the roof and thought he swept off a stick by this...

    Waxing new 3570rs

    Since we're newbies I want to make sure I understand the lingo. When you say "graphics" are you including decals? If so that means you wax the unit without waxing the decal then use the 303 on the decals? And you wax the front cap with the Meguair's like the sides? And thanks for the correct...

    Waxing new 3570rs

    Love, love, love our new 3570rs and we want to protect it and keep it looking as nice as it does right now. I've heard many people use marine wax such as McGuiers (probably spelled incorrectly). Some have said to use 303 to protect decals then wax. We're newbies and want to do it right...

    Options? Suggestions welcomed

    The ice maker is no longer available with the fridge because so many people were having issues with them. I was tickled by my DH is still upset. He believes that every beverage should be served at 32.2 degrees. In fact frozen would be even better.

    Options? Suggestions welcomed

    Use E tires then upgrade?

    We are looking at a BH 3570rs. Upgrading to G614 during build is no cheaper than getting them installed by a tire company a few months down the road. We thought about using the Chinese bombs until we have about 4000 miles on the unit. Since I've never pulled anything this long I can bump the...

    Bring back lighter countertops

    I can't understand why Bighorn decided to replace the lighter countertop with darker ones mid season. We're planning to purchase a new 3455rl in late winter but hate the dark countertops. 1). It's harder to see because the light doesn't reflect as well off a darker surface as it does a lighter...

    Pin boxes - air or Mor/Ryde.?

    CeeCee, so you have a regular factory installed pin box with a B&W companion with air bags? Sounds like it's working we'll for you. It's good to hear you're happy with the B&W / Ford combo. sounds like we'll be in good shape whichever way we go as long as we stay off Michigan interstate!
