On the note of draining the hot water tank- I did the "idiot" test this weekend and didn't die, so we will call it a success. I just winterized the trailer after using it at the lake yesterday. I was getting ready to drain the hot water tank (and I know better!). I didn't vent the pressure off...

When we had water coming in the slide, I checked the slide seals and the seal on top of the slide wasn't flipped out. Could that be the problem? Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

I couldn't give the scientific answer- but boats generally don't need sway control. I've towed more boats than travel trailers and have never used nor seen sway control on a boat. Also- because the trailers go in the water all the time, electric brakes can be problematic. Most boat trailers use...

Yup- picture taken from my review mirror, so facing backwards. He was westbound on 120th and pulled over after construction at Federal. Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

So sad- I just drove home. He is still there putting new wheels and tires on the trailer. Four bolt wheels- I have a feeling the tires will blow again a mile down the road. Doesn't look like the police did anything to help him ☹️ Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

Hahaha! Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

Just had this guy pass by me today. Traffic just came to a stop in both directions in morning rush hour to watch him go. He blew both the trailer tires and had to pull off the road. I kinda feel bad because I think he is homeless and has problems other than his load. I did call dispatch and...

Thanks! I will post more pictures when it's done. Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

Here it is on Amazon too! I just ordered a second bottle. So far I really like how it's working. It can also be used right over the graphics without damaging them. I also bought several bonnets for the orbital because compound wax gums them up quick. Automotive wax doesn't work on fiberglass...

ProFlex makes black too. Here it is on Amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003VARIII/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1473724871&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=proflex+rv+sealant&dpPl=1&dpID=418vuqiunhL&ref=plSrch Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

I did scrape off the old caulk- at least down to good caulking. Most of it was chalky, flaking, goopy and just weathered. I used a plastic putty knife and rant it along the edges. The old caulk just turned to powder for the most part. In some areas like around the door, I removed as much as I...

After spending two 8 hour days caulking and waxing, I am nearly done re-finishing the outside of the trailer. We have the high-gloss fiberglass finish that has started to oxidize. I used the recommended ProFlex RV Sealant purchased from Amazon.com. I have about 90% of the caulking done. I still...

1000 mi since purchase in June :) Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

I love my iPhone 6s. Didn't do the plus, but think I should have. I also have the Lifeproof waterproof case with battery. Works great! I am not ready to upgrade yet, but will be excited when the time comes. Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

Porter Cable- works great! Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL
