Thank you again, Bob & Christine (and all others working behind the scenes) for putting together such a great Rally. Jon and I had a super time in Niagara attending our second Ontario event. The pot luck was a highlight for us (some great cooks in the group) and the Canada Eh show was...

Hi Don & Joyce, I feel your PAIN!!! We have had such a hard time with our Big Country (ours is a 2011, so I'm sure both our rigs are very similar). BELIEVE ME, I was so ready to trade the Heartland when we returned from our trip this past winter. Between water leaks, landing gear problems...

This past year we have experienced so many water problems with our 2011 Big Country 3510RL model. It has been a very unfortunate experience especially when you are out on the road travelling. Not being in a home location makes it difficult to do lengthy repairs and if you take it into a shop...

Are we the special ones to have experienced many different issues with our Big Country? After being an owner of a 2006 Titanium 5th wheel trailer, I have come to the realization that our Big Country does not possess the same quality we were previously used to. (The reason we traded our...

We are experiencing the exact same problem with our 2011 3510BC. Especially to the kitchen cabinets near the heaviest use area (lower kitchen cabinets & bathroom vanity). Our hardware 'finish' is also wearing off of any of the 'more used' cupboards (ie the cupboard where we store our cups...

We've had a very busy week regarding our dilemma here in Texas. I am so sorry that I haven't kept up with this thread and answered questions.... I didn't KNOW alot of the technical 'stuff' you fellows are talking about. After a couple of days dealing with a very difficult insurance adjuster...

We were in the the Hammocks the first time we visited the park but wanted to be where we could get a clear point to the sky for our satellite. We were 'out and about' alot during the month of February but we did walk the park alot (with Monty, our Bichon). Looking forward to seeing you next...

We are the BIGGEST supporters of the Passport America program. Oh yes, we have this program as well. Love it and our first choice to to find a PA park and if nothing is in the area, we resort to the other programs.

Do you know there is another camping program out there? We just found out this one this past winter. It's called Ready Camp Go. http://readycampgo.com/ For as little as $99/year you can receive 30 nights camping at $20/night + resort fee at ANY Encore Resort in the United States. There are...

We purchased the Zone camping pass this past year (Sept 2013) as we knew we'd be doing alot of travelling through the States this winter. We paid $525 for 2 zones. They usually run 'specials' and you can get 2 zones for the price of 1. We picked the Midwest and the Southeast (which included...

I know that many of the Snowbirds have flown back home for the summer season, but if you are looking for a super RV park along the Space Coast in Florida, be sure to check out Seasons in the Sun RV Resort. Last March we visited the park for 3 nights (with Passport America). We immediately fell...

Re: New Axel needed - urgently Oh... we have been pleading! I think we may be on our way (not literally) but by 3:30pm today we did have some answers. (It's been a long day for sure). A fellow in Shreveport, TX will be able to make an axle for us. We can give him the 'okay' once we hear from...

Re: New Axel needed - urgently I now know how to crawl under the rig and find the information we need to get a new axle (the Dexter Axel #). Not an easy feat, but this lady did it! :) My poor hubby is not moving too quickly because of the injured ribs. Now if only we would get a phone...

Re: New Axel needed - urgently Answers: a) Our rig is has 2 single axles (4 wheels). It's a Big Country 3510 - 38' in length. b) Yes... needs to be replaced. The threads on the spindle are stripped. The spindle was bent on impact and the repair place won't repair it (because of...

Re: New Axel needed - urgently Dexter was no help at all, Jim. They sent us on to find a distributor. We asked 'where'. They said 'look it up online'. Thanks... for nothing. :(
