    Shine on camper

    We drop the tailgate to the truck and back up to the nose cap to wash/wax our Bighorn. We use Liquid Glass. It is specially formulated for fiberglass. It shines very well and makes cleaning bug splashes easier than with a regular wax formulation. Warning, Liquid Glass isn't cheap. About $25...

    New 3610re ain't gonna happen

    One of the things I didn't mention that was clearly due to a customer with a heavy hand during a walk through. That was an overhead cabinet hanging by one hinge which clearly was from abuse. I'll even grant that the dings/finish issues in the dining area my have been from walk throughs. But...

    New 3610re ain't gonna happen

    My wife and I WERE seriously looking to swap our 2008 BH 3370RL for a 2011 BH 3610RE. It isn't gonna happen. I couldn't believe how poorly the coach we looked at was built. Granted, the features of the coach are exactly what Marcia is wishing for, but, and it is a very big but, how in the...

    RV Park Recommendations for Mount Rushmore

    My vote is for Custer State Park. No full hookups but it is a really nice place and very scenic....... Duh! That whole area is scenic! Joe

    Went to camping world

    We went with some friends to an RV show, Camping World only inventory on display, yesterday at the Lake County, IL fairgrounds. They had a nice BH3610RE on display which was getting quite a bit of attention. The salesman was feeding everyone who would listen how Heartland was doing poorly...

    Just bought a new truck

    39,600 miles on our '08 F250 6.4L. Pulls like a mule but the mileage flat out sucks. The BEST we've got was 14.0 mpg empty. And that seems to have been a one time deal. The mileage computer reads 12.4 avg mpg as I type..... That DPF and EGR really killed the mileage but oh boy does it...

    Tow-n-Stow

    The Tow-n-Stow would have to have some form of braking system to be legal behind the fifth wheel rv. Behind a TV alone wouldn't be a problem in most of the country unless over 3,000 lbs. jj

    MPG Change

    We have 38,000 miles, give or take a few, on our '08 6.4L and have yet to see any significant mileage gains. Since parking the BigHorn for the winter I am getting 11.6 mpg running around town and shorter trips. The best I've done without the BH in tow was just over 14 mpg on a 210 mile round...

    Sante Fe New Mexico

    We stayed there June '07. It got the job done. Nothing fancy but friendly people. On a side note, try to do dinner at La Casa Sena. Fabulous food. And I could die and go to heaven just perusing the shelves of the wine shop affiliated with the restaurant!! Joe

    Up on the Rooffffffff

    Just slightly off-topic, but how clean is clean enough before the rubber roof treatment is applied? We cleaned ours off last weekend but ran out of cleaner with a few feet not cleaned very well. Joe

    Broke Down in Tillamook, OR;Camping in Les Schwab

    Have you considered a product liability lawyer? Sometimes a letter from a lawyer threatening a lawsuit or class action suit will be enough the manufacturer to cut their losses and pay the claim. Look into it, as it seems to me you have a valid issue to litigate. Joe fyi, I am not a lawyer...

    Did I mess Up? (or not)

    We are towing a 3370RL with an F250 with 9800 lb. gvwr. We are slightly over the gvwr, but not over on either axle weights of the truck or trailer, nor are we over on the gcwr. Talked to our dealer before either unit was purchased and he said we'd be fine. Coming up on 36,000 miles since...

    Poor Digital Reception (Rural)

    we sometimes lose our digital signal when certain devices are turned on such as an exhaust fan. there must be some kind of electrical interference going on.
