    The need for a second AC unit.

    We have a Big Horn 3670. With one A/C we could only cool to 13 deg below the outside temp. When it was 103 in Texas we could only cool to 90 inside. We added a second air in the bedroom.

    Pulled the plug

    Mine has come out about half a dozen times. Every time it was a sharp right turn. The cable catches on the lower part of the hitch. I shortened the cable before leaving for Florida and haven't had a problem since. (Knock on wood). I shortened it with a cable clamp and have not cut the end off yet.

    Lippert replaced the 7000# springs on my BH3670 with 8000# springs 1.5 years ago. I have not had a problem since then. It did raise the trailer about 1.5 inches. I lowered the front hitch to the next set of bolt holes to relevel the trailer.
