    Couple of good news things on antennas

    I just added the Winegard carryout to mine as well. It's also mounted on the ladder with the switch mounted inside. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I thought the ladder mount package was a bit expensive for no more than it is.

    Step lighting project.

    No, they are 110 volt. They are also halogen. I wanted LED as they run cooler and last much longer, but no one had the LED versions in two feet lengths around here.

    Step lighting project.

    I often get the midnight snack cravings and sometimes get up during the night for something to drink. Many times, I may have company sleeping down stairs on the blow up air sofa. I don't engage the bright overhead fluorescent light(s) to prevent waking them. So, after my near "wipe-out" late one...

    Second Air Conditioner

    I love our second AC. Not sure why it's getting colder in your bedroom. The one 15K unit alone in my BH wouldn't do the job when the temps climbed into the upper 80's, and 90's for sure. It was even warmer in the bedroom. I got the second AC and after doing so, I sealed the duct work off just...

    Air bed temporary repair solution

    I found my repair kit in the blue heartland zippered bag where all the manuals, paper work for everything that is installed on the coach are kept.

    Air bed temporary repair solution

    That's a great idea! I had a couple of holes in my air bed on its first use. So, I scrounged around the tool box and found some small Velcro strips and thought it would make a good temporary fix. It has been a couple of months and the sticky Velcro strips are still holding tight after much use...

    Halftime/Microwave Quits

    Same thing is happening to me. But when I used it today, it shut off and never came back on. The wife is having a fit because she can't pop her pocorn. Guess I'll see what I can do with Apollo come Monday. I've had a previous issue or two needing warranty before and can't get a thing done about...

    Switch recliners with couch

    I've tried switching mine, but couldn't leave them there as the slides won't clear the couch with it on the back wall. I personally like the recliners in front of the TV, but I no longer worry with moving them unless I'm going to be camped out for a while. I actually don't strap my chairs down...

    Will my Dodge 2500 Tow a 3010?

    I tow a BH 3670RL with no problem...not even any strain on take-off. Dry weight is 12,500 lbs. I read an article not long ago that stated the average camper carried about 2000 lbs worth of stuff, and the average full timer carried 3000 lbs worth of added weight. With this considered, I know I'm...

    Sofa Bed - Leak in Mattress caused by rough metal frame

    I'm adding myself to the ongoing list of having a leaking air mattress. I'm a new owner of a 3670 (2 months) and the first time use of the bed, didn't hold air, further inspection revealed two small punctures on the bottom corner. I've currently patched it, but not sure if it and how long it...

    Report: 6 months of BIGHORN ownership

    I've only had my rig two months and have begun to notice a few similar issues. I also have a cracked fender skirt, cracked caulking, toilet water issue, my bedroom door won't close (latch), a leaky air bed. I'm hoping the list stops there for now!

    Did I mess Up? (or not)

    I have the exact same camper and the exact same truck, and so does two other friends of mine who tow with a comparable model camper with trailer GVW over 12,500 lbs. We go everywhere! The trucks aren't even in a strain and I can actually pass folks on the highway running 80. We swear by them now...

    Want to upgrade

    NADA is what I use as well. I'd personally try selling private party if possible as you can probably get more for it. I sold my old travel trailer for several thousand more over what dealers wanted to allow me for a trade-in. As for the model with your specified needs, I know the BH-3670RL and...

    Replacing Recliners

    I've been contemplating making some type of change as well. They are VERY comfy, but do take up space and are a little too far out in the floor when pulled far enough from the wall to recline. I've tried moving the couch on the back wall, then putting the chairs where the couch was sitting. I...

    Bedroom Suite Floor Insulation???

    I realize this is an old thread, but as I stumbled across your post, my curiosity went through the roof as I'm a new owner of a 2010 Bighorn 3670RL. I have not winter camped, of course, as I just purchased the unit a month back, but was determined to find out as I don't won't COLD feet, either...
