    Couple of good news things on antennas

    I bought the little wing that Winegard offers to improve HD reception on the OEM vhf/uhf crank-up. It didn't fit, because the OEM antenna is not Winegard, it's "System Commander." Winegard insists that no parts are compatible. But I returned the wing and bought the new Winegard System 4...

    Announcing the Fall 2009 Virginia Chapter Rally

    Patty O'Room for sale Hey folks -- we'll be at the rally and have a A&E Patty O'Room for sale. It has barely been used. A friend bought it for his tagalong and then bought a motorhome with power awning. I bought the room from him and put it on my tagalong. Then we bought a Bighorn 3670...

    Announcing the Fall 2009 Virginia Chapter Rally

    We're coming to Rodanthe Hi, folks. We are "lurkers" from Annapolis, MD who own a 2008 Bighorn 3670. Gus has us on the mailing list so we can catch up with you when we can. We haven't "joined" because we already do a monthly thing with our GS group and also travel away from the area at least...

    Toting along a scooter

    We are tired of using $5 diesel for a run to the store! We want to carry a 50cc scooter with us, but Heartland and Lippert don't want us to hang it on the back of our Bighorn 3670. We have a longbed 2008 Dodge dually with plenty of room in front of the hitch, but the scooter is wider than the...

    New owner ISO right truck!

    Thanks to everyone for support. We bought a 2008 Dodge 3500 Cummins dually 4x2. GVW is 15,850 -- thought that was close enough to 16k. We splurged on a Hensley air ride hitch (traded in our Arrow which we loved) and a Hensley Tru-Control. The controller is worth the money. We have taken one trip...

    New owner ISO right truck!

    What are people towing the Bighorn 3670 with? We just put a deposit on one and have to trade our Titan up for something that will work with the new rig (currently have a 30 foot TT 7500#). We plan to full time for a year or more, and we really don't want a dually if we can avoid it. Thanks...
