We do 2 big trips each year or at least big to me. We have one planned in the spring to Arizona and one to Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah in the fall. Outside of those trip, we stay within 2 hours of home. I have the dually now and would like something smaller if I can. But only if it works. We...

I haven't put the trailer on the scales yet,(planning to do that on our way back home on this trip) but I would guess we are around 14200-14500 lbs. We only tow twice a year for long distances(spring and fall trips). All of our other trips are local and no more than an hour or 2. The F-350 I'm...

Does anyone use a SRW F-350 to tow a Bighorn? I have a 3760 and I want to get rid of my dually if I can. Our Bighorn isn't much over dry weight, We never have water in the fresh water tank and I always try to have very little water in the gray or black tanks when traveling. It might have...

Which one did you use, where did you get it, and who did the install? I hate plumbing work.

Has anyone installed a dishwasher in a Bighorn? We have a 3760 and would like to install one. We understand that we would have to give up some drawers or a cabinet? Thanks in advance.

I have seen that some of the newer Bighorn models have an outside storage door in the entertainment slideout. What are folks using this area for?

Thanks, I have a buddy that will do some welding for a free lunch.

Did you buy that or have it made? If you bought it, may I ask where? And thanks.

We just purchased our second Bighorn fifth wheel. This is a new 2017 3760EL and it doesn't have a receiver for our bike rack in the back. Our used Bighorn had a rear receiver installed when we bought it. Camping world told us that if we put one on the rear or mounted on on the hitch, it will...

Thanks

Where can I find the factory MSRP on a Landmark Orlando? I have found the 2017 spring show brochure on the Heartland website that lists standard features and options. A dealership in Florida that has a unit we like has sent me the build sheet on a 2017 Orlando has pricing for some items listed...

Today we went to Dixie RV and looked at the Landmark Orlando. Its a floor plan that we really like. We would have a few things moved over from our Bighorn to the Landmark. We would have a dishwasher installed in the Orlando. That is about the only option that I can think of that we would...

Thanks to everyone that has replied so far. We haven't sold the home yet or bought the RV lot yet. We are still doing the research but hoped there might be a way to stay a Florida resident. I think that in 7-10 years will have one base house in Florida once the grand kids get older. Right...

Does anyone use a purchased RV lot as the address for your state of residence? I am a Florida resident now so will the RV lot qualify me to keep my Florida residency? How do full timers work that out?

We are booked 10/11 thru 10/18 for a premium pull thru site. I don't back up that well yet and we will hopefully have a new Bigger-horn by then.

I see all Rvs with the US map on them and the states that have been visited. We are having a family debate about our RV map and are seeking ideas from more experienced travelers. The wife says we have to see most of a state before we can place the state sticker on our map. We recently made a 3...

Thanks so much.

OK. Help me out guys and gals. This will be our first rally sign-up. Do we just call the campground and tell them we are part of the rally or do we email the contact person? This will be our first trip to the southern Florida, so we think we might go to the Everglades on the trip.

We have a 2014 3160EL and bought it this January. We have used it about 7 times with 3 weeks being our longest trip but we have decided to buy a 2017 3760EL. We like the king bed and the floor plan better than what we have. The 3760 has much more natural light than what we have, which we...

Does anyone have a backup camera installed on their fifth wheel? If so what brand did you get and are you happy with it? Did you install it yourself and was it simple? Thanks in advance for the information.

We would love to but we have something else scheduled that weekend. I want to get to a rally just to learn from all the other owners.

We finally had time and a place to take the Bighorn for our first practice trip. This was not only our first trip with the Bighorn but our first trip EVER in ANY kind of camper. We had only tent camped once in our 28 yrs of marriage. I had never hooked up the sewer or the water at a site. I...

We are planning our first big trip in our Bighorn for this June. We live near the Cincinnati area and will start there. We have had small couple day practice trips but nothing 2 weeks or longer. We thought we would work our way up to the longer trips. I hope that is a good way to do things...

Thanks from another newbie.

I am a new Heartland owner and I am trying to get things ready for a trip south for the fifth wheel for the winter. Let me be honest by saying I over prepare for everything. I put a toolbox on the front of my bumper pull BBQ trailer for tools and things I might need. I don't think I am going...

thanks for all the advice and input. I think I am going with the portable dish.

Thanks for the info.

Has anyone experienced non rv people stealing or messing with your dish when you have it on the ground? I wouldn't think that someone at the park would do anything but I wonder about locals. I can see kids messing around with it after dark or just someone taking it. I have to say I am new to...

I have a 2014 Bighorn 3160EL and my dealer says the trailer is wired for a SAT dish to be installed on the roof but he says they have no idea where the wiring is on the roof. Is that possible? I would have guessed the area would have been re-enforced for the sat on the roof and the wiring...

Re: New Owners We are planning on coming out west with the Bighorn. We have a competition BBQ team that competes in about 10 to 15 contests each year. We have all our gear stored in a 22' car hauler that we take to each contest. I think we should plan on taking some BBQ in the freezer each...

Re: New Owners Linda, We won't be at the rally in Navarre this year. We are scheduled to compete in a Florida BBQ contest in Dothan, AL that weekend. I did look at the schedule of rallies and think we are going to the one at Gulf Shores. We are looking forward to meeting folks and learning...

Re: New Owners Thanks for all the great advice and well wishes. I look at this site a few times each day reading and learning. We hope to attend a few rallies this spring/summer. We are doing our walk through on the December 14. We are having a few items added to the Bighorn before we take...

Yesterday we bought our first RV....ever. We have a bumper tow car hauler that has been converted into our competition BBQ rig and pull that often. We got a 2014 BigHorn 3160EL. I am sure that the fifth wheel is going to be very different towing than our BBQ trailer. We love it and look...
