    Gray tank 2 valve stuck closed, need help

    You might get lucky like I did on our prior 3055RL. The crimp came loose right at the T handle end. You can take the nut off the cable where the mounts to the trailer. Pull it through a little then hold the cable housing and pull the handle. You can fix it permanently by getting to the back...

    Hauling a Kayak on the Back

    You might check into a rear ladder rack and use some tie downs to hold it on. Ladder rack

    I'm am SOB

    Thanks Jim, this forum is what inspired us to purchase two Bighorns. Would've liked to had another if I could have found one that fit into our double towing needs/floor plan etc. Wont be a stranger. PS. Still a Bighorn owner (3610 hasn't sold yet :eek:)

    I'm am SOB

    We have the LS. The lady that owned took super care of it. She invited to the roof and it looked like new. Spent two nights in it and everything worked perfect. I was surprised whow quiet the air and furnace were and how well both blew air. No tent in the vent needed on the a/c.

    I'm am SOB

    The 3610RE was getting to be a hand full. We had to take two pickups to AZ for the winter to bring all our toys (Harley, RZR and kayak) and to the WY mountains in the summer. Had to start double towing again as it was ridiculous to Pay for fuel and servicing two trucks. We ended up with an "08"...

    Muddling thru this winter is tough

    I don't have to put up with that garbage until Dec for 3 months. Until then I can enjoy my special blanky.

    Electric hot water issue-update

    My water heater quit working on electric a few days after we bought it. Found the wire nuts loose behind the wall switch and a wire out of place. Thought I had it fixed. Nope. Went to where the wire connects to the heater. Loose wire nut and wire out of place. Bingo, that did the trick. The guy...

    Shock Absorbers - necessary?

    Our "06" Bighorn didn't have 'em but the "11" has the horizontal mounted shocks that all the mounting ends of the piston rods are bent. I cant see much difference between the two years and have just kept an eye out for any broken ones. I am so tired of throwing money at RV's and all the "just...

    anode rod's no more in 2013's?

    The original rod in ours was worn out after the first season. I assume it was an OEM Suburban. I replaced it with an aluminum rod and it still looked relatively new after two years. I replaced it with another OEM and after a few months it was showing lots of wear. I guess we had better stick to...

    Sewer smell when draining kitchen sink

    We had a smell around out kitchen and when I went to find out about it I unscrewed that breather valve and it stunk so bad I thought I was going to vomit. Poured a bunch of bleach down the sink and the smell went away. We always put a couple of cups of bleach down it after dumping now.

    "Fixed" ding in refrigerator door

    Nice! We have one of those that we only can see in the right light that is annoying when we can. Might have to put a Jimmie Johnson 48 decal across it. Doubt that will go over though.

    Upgrade: Sundance 2900mk to Bighorn 3010re

    Good choice! We would have considered the 3010RE if it had the island kitchen when we where ordering out 3610RE. I like the shorter length. My backing skills are a little lacking for this long trailer plus I wouldn't have had to give up Double towing.

    Place a second water pump switch the bathroom.

    As long as you are fooling around with the switch I would also put one down by the docking station. I would probably use that a lot.

    3055RL Help

    We owned a 3055 and our biggest gripe was the cabinet over the kitchen sink. Before we traded we were going to have it cut down so it would be about a half cabinet. If I remember they want 3-$400. Could not see the TV from the dining table or kitchen so we also thought of re-doing the...

    New 3585

    I like the new 3585. Especially the Bed room bath room layout, lot more room around the bed. Not sure I would want an L shaped kitchen anymore. I get "trapped" in the back all the time because Renee seems to always want in there the same time I do.
