    EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: OR, Redmond - 6/10/2020 to 6/17/2020

    Kelly and Rod: Received a call from Redmond RV park. They have no more sites for rigs over 25ft. Looks like we are in the dry camping area and on the wait list for a spot in the RV park. Can you let us know how many rigs are ahead of us on the wait list? Thanks, Bill and Joy Redding

    Hitch install to pull a Tote on BH 3575

    Bob, I am in the process of upgrading/replacing my class "C" license with a "non-commercial class A". As you probably know, most states allow towing up to 15,500 pounds or more with a regular drivers license so most fifth wheels are rated GVWR at 15,500 pounds. California always has to have...

    Hitch install to pull a Tote on BH 3575

    I am aware that Lippert will use the hitch as an excuse to void the frame warranty and could loose the rest of my 1 year, but I know the hitch and reinforced frame will be stronger than it is now and am willing to take the chance. The total overall length with tote is 60 feet. California...

    Hitch install to pull a Tote on BH 3575

    Re: ATF: Bighorn - Bighorn hitch install for 3575 Unfortunately no one that I can find makes a heavier hitch for the back of a trailer. It is probably due to the wide span between the frame rails. I plan on beefing this hitch up with steel welded across the frame rails under the hitch plus...

    Hitch install to pull a Tote on BH 3575

    I am going to pull a swivel two wheel tote behind my Bighorn 3575 and want to weld a class 3 hitch (Curt Hitch #13703) between the frame at the very end of the trailer and weld diagonal braces from the center of the hitch back to the bottom of the frame at 45 degree angles going forward about 3...

    Swivel Wheel Trailers

    I recently bought a Smart Trailer from Florida and am impressed with the quality, engineering, and finish. I have the SL200 Deluxe with upgraded tires. This has an 1800 lb load capacity and uses a single class 3 hitch. It has a swivel hitch with two hitch balls that allow side flex going over...

    Bighorn 3575 bathroom door to hallway

    The bathroom door to the hallway on my Bighorn 3575 is not useable without first opening the bedroom door and walking past the bathroom door in order to open it. This defeats the reason for a hall door since you now have no privacy in the bedroom. I cannot figure why they designed this door to...

    Dishwasher in 3570 RS

    I just took delivery of a new Big Horn 3575EL which is very similar to the 3570. I ordered it with a dishwasher and it was installed to the right of the sink cabinet in the space of the drawers leaving me with one shallow drawer above the dishwasher.
