Was looking for the same thing when I ran across your post on line. Am placing an order at Advanced Bedding as they will custom make your sheets to the width, length and depth you want. They are a little pricey but we are ordering the 600 thread count sheets which should be smoother. The site...

We've had our 3410RE for over 2 years without any problems. I added some HDMI cables for Satellite Receiver and Blu-Ray player and at that time, I secured all the wiring with cable ties (zip ties) to make sure nothing got caught in the lift drive. Love this layout. Good luck with your future...

Marty, We have a 3410RE which is no longer in production. We love the floorplan. As others have noted, watchinig TV from the recliners as shown in the factory layout would not be comfortable. We just move the recliners out for a better viewing angle and it works for us. See photo. Good luck with...

Re: Kinpin Stabilizer Dylan, We are by no means 5th wheel experts, and have never used the king pin stabilizer. Whether you "NEED" one is a matter of taste. Our Bighorn is pretty solid in the vertical direction, but when someone walks around, we get some fore/aft and side to side movement...

I have a Hunter 44260 from Walmart, about $26. Works fine. My trailer came with the El-Cheapo Dometic analog t-stat which was not very accurate.

My coach has a louvered vent in the kitchen wall which is a return air passage to the furnace which is in the basement. I think all Bighorns have this vent somewhere. I know there are lots of other areas which are not closed off to the basement, like my drawers under the steps. I think the...

Bill, Are you satisfied with the Air Wedge? I was thinking about getting one for our long slide. The water does tend to pool up on that one and a little noisy if the wind is from the right direction. The other shorter slides are fine. Back to Cliff, I'd vote yes to the slide toppers. There is...

We didn't like the overhead light, so I improvised with a pendant 120V light from Lowe's. Uses a 13W (60W equivalant) globe shaped CFL. Puts a nice light on the table without too much heat. With the plug, it is easily removed for travel. When I find a brown switch and plug, I think it will look...

Here is the photo of my Dish 1000.2 showing 3 LNB outputs. As I mentioned before, these give the ability to see the signal strength with a meter for each sat. Hope this will help. George

Bill, When I have had had similar problems, it has been a tree blocking one sat and the other 2 are good. Sometimes a little wind can move tree branches enough to cause problems which did not exist the day before. Using the reciever and its signal strength meter to align the dish is VERY...

That app sounds really useful, especially around trees. As others have noted, getting the mast plum is the first step. I have a Dish 1000.2 (3 LNB for 3 sat). After fighting with a Dish 500 and a cheap meter, I knew there had to be a better way with a 3 sat system. Dish recommends pointing the...

Another option (although not cheap) is the Bear Bed http://www.bearbeds.com/ We had one in our previous trailer in a short queen and really enjoyed it. We sleep on a Slect Comfort at home and really like the individual firmness control. We custom ordered a 70x80 king to fit our Bighorn (the...

Has anyone tried one of these ??https://ssl.perfora.net/www.awningairwedge.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154c90e1595f940/shopdata/index.shopscript Just looking for an easy way to keep the water from pooling up on the main slide awning as well as some of the flapping in the wind. Comments or other...

Re: Need ideas for taveling tools Plastic zip ties are handy for tying things up. They saved my bacon once on a camper when I suffered a broken awning support arm. I was able to tie it together until I got home. George

Erika, Yes, we were under warranty, but barely. The other owner was out of warranty, but I believe he had the problem documented while he was still in warranty. George
