We went to the RV show in Pomona, California, just to look. After three trips we bought a 2011 Fleetwood Southwind 32VS. I called it Mongo as we were driving it home. However, my CEO/Navigator said it could not be called that because it is not a diesel. So now we have to come up with another...

The CEO/Navigator and I have traded in the Big Horn and Mongo for a motorhome. We had some great trips and many great memories in that rig. We are sad to see it go. I am going to miss this forum more than the Big Horn. I spent a lot of hours on here, learned a whole lot and got great advice...

We have been over Monarch Pass two, three, maybe four times in both directions and have never had a problem with our rig. I shouldn't say that because when we were westbound up the pass last month the passenger of a vehicle passing us made an opening motion at us with his hands. We quickly...

We have a Zenith in our 2007 Big Horn that is a combination AM/FM radio, CD and DVD player. It has the long coated wire antenna and gets very good radio reception. Ours is held in place inside the cabinet by a velcro strip. It can be easily removed to check the back and insure the antenna is...

In the last two or three months I recall watching a very informative video produced by a tire manufacturer, I think, which described how an rv driver should react to a tire blowout. I thought I learned about the video on this forum, but I did a Google search and could not find the post. That...

I don't know what year Big Horn you have, but when you mention plastic closet latches it brings back memories. I had the latches replaced at least twice before heeding advice from a sage member of this forum. Unfortunately, I don't remember who that was. I just could not believe that velcro...

I have been towing my Big Horn with a short bed Chrevolet and no sliding hitch for nearly four years without any problems.

We went through Loveland today on our way to Spruce Lake RV Park in Estes Park, CO. All kinds of activities going on here too. This beautiful mountain town was just packed with people today.

We spent the night in Rawlins, Wyoming, a few days ago. Beautiful country.

One of our favorite camping spots has electricity, but no water or sewer. We fill with fresh water just before we arrive and insure both grey tanks and the black tank are empty. We have no idea how much water we take on, we just fill until it starts coming out the intake port. We can go five...

Welcome home!

Thanks for your suggestions, I really appreciate the information. I got the jack-nuts and, with the help of a shade tree carpenter buddy, we got to work. The jack-nuts pulled out as the screw was tightened. We tried several times, but no luck. My buddy forced several broken wooden match...

A couple months ago the screws that fasten the pneumatic strut to the port side storage bin door came loose. I bought some slightly larger screws to refasten the bracket and had not used the door since. When I opened it today at least half of the screws had pulled loose. I think the inside of...

My Big Horn is a different year and different model than yours, but perhaps similarly set up. There are two valves in the universal docking center. A diagram decal next to the valves show their off position and drain position. Move the valves to the drain position, turn on the water pump...

I don't know why you haven't gotten a reply from a factory representative or a Big Country owner so I will jump in. My Big Horn does not have a bumper and is very similar to the Big Country. I'm guessing you don't have one either. If you will do a search on this site you will find that there...
