There are a number of discussions on this throughout the forum. I have a Bighorn 3055 in the weight range you are interested in. On the road weight is about 12,700 lbs and I pull it with a Chevrolet 2500 diesel with a 3.73 rear. I usually pull around 60 mph and have varied from 8.5 mpg...

Marty, Bob, and Ray, thanks for the first hand information on that route. It takes a load off of my mind. We had stayed at Twentynine Palms in 2007 on another trip and found the area beautiful and very interesting. Amboy road near the town looked OK, but appreciate your assurances. Since we...

We are planning to travel to see the Joshua Tree NP and stay in Twentynine Palms, CA during the end of June then up to Las Vegas, NV. The TL Directory Campground Navigator (TLDCN) 2010 has us traveling north from Twentynine Palms over some non-numbered roads. Specifically from Twentynine Palms...

I ran my origional Mission "E" tires for two years, then at about 7000 miles one of the tires delaminated on my during a trip. I read up on the tires and listened to the forum members on line here, then decided to go with the Goodyear G614 for all five tires. They seemed to be the best of the...

After losing the tread on one of my origional tires, I followed the advise of several members here and bought a set of five Goodyear G614 tires. The rims are rated for G tire and they seem to come well recommended. Mine are working well so far.

We have many favorite places in the Northeast. In no particular order: A. Watkins Glen (walk the Glen, Wine trails, Corning glass museum); B. Acadia NP near Bar Harbor, ME. Beautiful scenery; C. Mystic, CT; D. Stowe, VT; E. Williamsburg, VA; F. St. Augustine, FL; G. Savannah, GA; H...

Our bracket sheared through near the top, simply stress of the weight of the shelf. I got a new one from Heartland for a reasonable cost, but am sure that it will do the same thing. The metal does not appear to be heavy enough to support the weight of the shelf during towing. Heartland should...

Well, I read all of the posts, but maybe I missed any description of Sea Pines OW resort. We were there last summer with three rigs, all 5W in the 32 - 36 foot length. Sea Pines was a nice CG, but did have the misfortune of having small narrow roads branching off of the two main lanes. Trees...

Just to add my two cents: The front bracket on my extension also broke through in such a way that it must be metal fatigue. Too much weight on the two brackets. I went to my dealer and he ordered one for me from Heartland. I think that it was about $15.00. Haven't installed it as yet as the...

We actually replaced our factory King bed with a California King (82"X72") rather that 80"X70". It is also much, much thicker than the origional so I stand and hold up on corner and place it on top of the sink while the wife brings the slide in. Works well so far. I had not realized that...

Just returned from our stay at Roamer's Retreat CG near Kinzer, PA. A Bighorn was parked when we first arrived, but pulled out a couple of days later. A Landmark Augusta and a Big Country 3250 pulledn toward the weekend. Both were brand new rigs. The Big Country was a 2011 model with jazzy...

Cheryl, Will be sorry to miss the PA rally in June, but our plans right now will have us in southern Utah in early June. Canyon de Chelly and Bryce, etc are calling and we feel the need to respond. Clak

Truknutt, thanks for the encouragement. ha I bought by BH from Reichart's RV, on PA 94 just south of Hanover, and thats a lot closer. Very good dealership. Got the propane tanks both topped off last week so we are ready for anything (not really, but sounds good). Clark

My wife and I plan to be at Roamers Retreat CG, Kinzer, PA (east of Lancaster in PA Dutch country) for Veterans Day weekend. We will be camping with our MD Good Sam Club, Foothill Campers and touring the country. Friday is Green Dragon (hughe Flea market) for browsing and wonderful fresh food...

John, this is new territory for most of us as LCD TV's in our RVs haven't been around too many years. This is my second year with an LCD. Unfortunately the first year found the BH in the RV dealers and the Television was stolen in January, so that one doesn't count. I found a number of...
