    Re-cover and replace window coverings

    I live in my Bighorn full time and I am sick of the "everything brown" interior. I want to recover the valances and replace or just remove the side curtains. We have Roller shades. Anyone removed the valances and recovered them? It looks complicated to remove them. Also want to paint the...

    Splendide all in one vented 2100xc (not drying)

    We have had the same problem; the clothes take longer and longer to dry. I got the same error code and using the instructions for cleaning solved the problem. I have to repeat it every couple of months as we use our machine for all our laundry so it's at least one load every day. Other than...

    Space under steps for shoes?

    Sounds great Eric. Hubby wants to think about this before cutting something we can't replace. We did take out the drawer and take pictures of what is under the first step and it looks like it's just empty space. Can you post a picture of your completed project? Thanks so much.

    Space under steps for shoes?

    I really don't want a drawer. What I want is to open the front so that I have an open space to put one or two pairs of shoes out of the way when we come into the RV. We don't wear our shoes inside and right now we just kick them off under the dining room chairs.

    Space under steps for shoes?

    Has anyone converted the space under the bottom step (going up to the bedroom) for storage or for a shoe cubby? The second step has a drawer and the first step is just empty space. We really need a place to put our shoes when we come inside. I can't see any reason why we couldn't do...

    Heartland Shipped Wrong Color

    I had the very same issue. I called customer service and they sent me the correct item immediately. I love the J-Wrap for making repairs...it's invisible once in place.

    Dimmer for LED lights in my Bighorn

    I would like to install dimmers on the LED lights in the slide that are over the dining room table and also on the ceiling in the bedroom. We have found dimmers but have not been able to find any information on whether the bulbs that are installed are dimmable. Has anyone installed dimmers...

    New Big Horn 3575EL

    You're right. They use the same enclosure on all the models and some of them have the shower head at the other end. Ours is "backwards" with the bench under the shower head. It's not a big deal.

    By (Popular?) Demand - Our Ownership Story

    Re: By (Popular?) Demand - Our Ownership Story [Updated Defect List] Your experience is horrible xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx We we have had our share of issues with our Bighorn but not anything near the extent you have. I've noticed a lot of shoddy workmanship but most is easily dealt with. We did...

    Things I would change about my Bighorn

    Jim, that's great. I don't suppose you would care to write up a "how to" for those of us who aren't quite as talented as you. I would love to have the kitchen overhead and hanging fixture switches on the pantry wall.

    "Storm" door for screen door

    My husband did the same install. He went to Lowes and bought the Lexan. Had it cut to width, cut the radius with his Dremel tool and press fitted it into the groove. We initially tinted it with do it yourself window tint but it made the inside too dark (it's too dark already and this made it...

    Moveable Kitchen Island Ideas

    Beautiful cabinetry work on your island. I love the color...is it painted or stained? Did you get rid of your dining table since you now have the bar extension? Carol

    Things I would change about my Bighorn

    We do have the honey glazed cabinets but that doesn't make difference. Our previous 5th wheel had walnut cabinets but not the tinted windows and it was much lighter inside. Also, we too have the dining room light switch right next to the table on the wall but it is the light over the sink and...

    Things I would change about my Bighorn

    We live full-time in our 2015 Bighorn and for the most part I am very happy with it. There are, a few things that bother me; in order of how much they bother me: 1. It is so dark inside. With the tinted automotive windows, the dark carpet and flooring and our dark furniture, it is dark all...

    How to remove AC duct covers in the ceiling

    This is probably a dumb question but I need to remove the AC register covers (round covers with vent fins) in the ceiling and can't figure out how to get them off without breaking them. Some genius at the factory left pieces of styrofoam in the duct work nd it is blocking the airflow out of two...
