    Slides and cabinet doors!

    Dusty, you're right. We put up with trying to resolve this situation of that heavy pantry pulling out of the top until we had all the fun we could stand!! We had our dealer pull it out, put in the wire pantry which slides out very nicely, thank you very much, and NO MORE PROBLEMS!!!! It was...

    Colmans Country Campers

    We bought our 3400RL from Colmans last year, and have had numerous problems. Thank goodness we bought from a dealer who really cares about doing the right thing and making you happy. JD in parts and Brian in Service have been wonderful.....can't say enough nice things about them. We just had...

    A/C Temps

    Check all the posts under this section.....we have several regarding this problem. We had the same problem, put in a 2nd unit (factory told us this was the only solution last year), but the thing that did the trick was cutting 3 more vents, 1 in the kitchen, and 2 more in line with the back 2...

    So what are the....

    GQ, I completely forgot about the most important thing!!! We had to have new axles last month. There was a batch sent from Al-ko that didn't have enough camber in them along about that time. We were suspicious at the time we bought it because the distance between the tires on the left and right...

    So what are the....

    INSIST that they hook it up, put out all the slides, and turn the a/c on in the afternoon when it's nice and hot in there......lots of a/c problems in the time frame when we bought ours in May 2005, serial #455.....our dealer alone had 3 Big Horns with a/c not working correctly. Also check...

    Slide bottom covering ripping off

    Last weekend found that the covering on our big living room slide is tearing off in chunks on both ends right at the edge. The material looks like some kind of contact paper type material, covering a wood like substance which doesn't appear to be real wood, but is soft and tears off sticking...

    Bighorn 3055RL

    Wood Pantry Shelves Our 3400RL had the big, heavy wooden shelves in the pantry also. They would not stay closed, we added extra closures, etc, but it kept pulling out of the top. Soooo, we had our dealer order the wire basket and hardware, and changed it over to the new style. ABSOLUTELY...

    Insurance

    When we went full time last November, our Insurance Company, USAA, didn't cover us, so we got quotes from Good Sam and Progressive......both had same coverage, Progressive was $300 cheaper. Fortunately haven't had to test it yet, but figured since it was the same coverage, might as well save a...
