    Manual to Electric Awning Replacement

    Have 2008 Bighorn 3400 RL. It came with the manual awning. I am now considering the electric option. I contacted Camping World interested in the Dometic 9100. However they are concerned about the front rail on the Bighorn, because it is shorter that the 9100 may not work. Here is the...

    Bad Experience with Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch by Cequent

    I understand, they only sent the center part of the hitch, not a whole new one, which had to be changed out. It bothered me I had to pay the shop to install the new part. I probably will have the old one welded properly as a spare, and keep a very close eye on the new part.

    Bad Experience with Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch by Cequent

    Your right, subject line is changed. But I do feel that this could cause a terrible accident. So my title probably expressed my frustration that they did not seem to care about the problem. If I were the manufacturer of something aas important as this piece, I would be very interested in...

    Tires - China bombs going off!!

    Thanks everyone for your input. I ended up with the Goodyear G 614, I took the blown China bomb and rim in first to the tire store, to make sure everything was going to be ok. They checked and compared, the slight difference had no effect on my rig. The rims are rated at 110 PSI. I still have...

    Camping World

    Just thought I would share poor service experience with Camping World. I should say no service. On a recent trip in Oregon, one of my China bombs decided to explode. This was on a Sunday. I went to the closest Camping World (Wilsonville) in hopes of replacing with the Goodyear G614. They had...

    Buying this year, Questions (Montana vs. Bighorn)

    We looked at both the Montana and the Bighorn. We thought the Bighorn was a better deal, I also liked the capacities of the Bighorn, It seemed that the Bighorn had larger tanks all around than Montana. I dealt with a local RV repair shop, they do not sell RV's they only work on them. I went...

    Mouse problem

    We dont like to use poison because if the little critter dies in the rig it smells for a long time. I finally settled on just old fashioned mouse traps, I keep two on each side of the basement. When we use the rig I just spring them and reset when the coach will be sitting for awhile. We also...

    Starting to change my mind on Heartland

    I have a 2008 Bighorn 3400 RL. I had a few issues with it when I bought it. Heartland was very responsive, even letting me take to the RV shop of my choice (not the dealer). Since then everything has worked great. We are very happy with our Bighorn, we dont plan on buying another because we...

    Mice wrecking havoc

    I have had 5th wheel for many years, Alfa and Heartland. The only sure way is to use traps. I have tried everything else. I always keep a couple of traps set in basement, and keep and electronic one in the coach. Recently stayed in an RV park on Oregon Coast, trapped mouse, so even when you...
