Well I sold the BigHorn to some nice folks in Cordell OK. They own a business building fancy truck beds and related stuff. Hopefully, I can get them on this forum soon. Now I still have the truck available.

We bought a house and now we need to sell our BigHorn and tow vehicle. Any help from the forum will be appreciated. I am offering the whole package which includes all the goodies that I have added to the 5th wheel like the 32" flat screen TV, air bed, power monitoring system, central vac...

I have been watching the weather rather closely, when I moved from the L.A. California area to a park south of San Francisco and now that I plan on going back to L.A. and then over the mountains on 15. My primary concern is the wind, it has been terrible. I have noticed that with a motor...

I see OK - I see, you have to turn it back toward the off to reduce it. I should have seen that. Thanks.:cool:

Has anybody found a way to make the two back burners on the kitchen range, variable. My stove, and I think most RV stoves, have back burners with only two positions, full on or off. The front single burner is the only one that is variable. It should be easy to do, however, I would want it to...

Broke the strings :eek: I just broke the strings on both sides of one of my blinds on a smaller window. Has anybody done that kind of repair?

Karriers with 3 out 5 bubbles! Take a look at my post on the Karriers with 3 out of 5 tires with bubbles; //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php?t=3627

Under warranty!! I thought my Karrier tires only had a one year warranty. I was wrong, it is two years. They are sending me a check. It's great to see that Heartland negotiated a good warranty for these tires, but, I wish they had got better tires to begin with.

Now or when I bought my trailer?? When I purchased my BigHorn, I was trusting the manufacter with a lot of money, to deliver a quality product. Now that I have had 3 tires out of 5 with bubbles, my trust has been shaken. On the day I purchased the Bighorn, I probably would not have considered...

Mounting the TV I have a Toshiba and I was able to rotate the base and bolt it down. This leaves only about an inch overhand on the base. I then added some velcro strips at the top to eliminate the TV banging against the edge. I now don't need to do anything to the TV when it is time to go.

:confused: I currently have Direct TV satellite with the receiver box and a 32 inch flat screen in the livingroom. My current TV does not have a tuner, as this is taken care of by the Direct TV box. My wife wants a TV in the bedroom. What is the best way to do this? We would never need to...

Some things to think about; If you don't use it, when the bubbles show your warranty may have expired. If you get a blowout, your insurance will pay for damages minus the deductible. If you change them now, it is all out of your pocket, but, the piece of mind is probably worth it. Here is a...

Bubbles in tires The bubbles are on the sidewall near the tread. They are large enough to hold a golf ball inside and are easily seen. I suggest you look on the inside of your tires. Do some research before you consider the LTs instead of the STs. The LTs are truck tires and what I have...

What are the rules? What are the rules on how long a post can be? As you can see, I was cut off pretty quick.

:eek: I have had Karrier tires on my Big Horn, from the factory for about 2 years now. Well past warranty. I have put about 4000 miles on them and I run the full 90 pounds of air, keeping my speed below 65 as required by the information on the sidewalls and generally keeping an eye on them...

Got it at Wal Mart I bought ours at Wal Mart and installed it in the closet where the washer dryer would be installed. It's not fire proof and would only slow down a determined thief, but, I put it in primarly for the friendly folk that may be in the trailer.

Is this how it looks??? :) Is this how it looks? Please excuse the drawing. I am not good drawing with a mouse. Can't seem to get the picture to work on the page. Here is the link; http://bobsmart.com/drawings.html If this is it, I could direct all the flow to the drivers side and open...

I am having air flow problems with the air conditioning in my 3400RL, which I understand is not unusual. I noticed that I have more airflow coming from the outlet at the end in the bedroom then what comes out closer to the a/c unit. This probably shouldn't be unless the duct work is kind of...

Watch out for Ford I have a 2002 Ford F350 which is getting a new transmission. The cooler on this truck was the same as what they put on a F150. All of the weight data for this truck shows that I have the ability to pull my 7 ton trailer, but, I didn't. I will now, after my $3000 bill.

1000 Trails I think if you buy it through one of the resale places, you can expect to pay about $1000 for the membership plus $1500 transfer fee and about $600 a year in annual fees. Should you decide to do this, be careful to get only the "National membership". They sell the regionals which...

1000 Trails :D I am sure the price you were quoted was where the salesman started. The price for 1000 Trails membership is negotiable, just like buying a used car. I think you can get your best deal buying someones used membership, really cheap. You will still have the annual fees and about...

What about the Lange brake? :confused: How does the Lange brake http://www.exhaustbrake.com/langebrk.html compare with these expensive ones. I am considering it, but am a little nervous. Would like to hear some postive comments before installing one. Looking at their web site, they apparently...

:eek: I rubbed up against a wood pole with signs marking the streets in a park. The side is scratched a little and some of the paint from the signs is in the scratches. This damage is down along the bottom and I don't think it is fiberglass. How can I clean it it?

Internet Service I just ordered a satellite system from http://www.maxwellsatellite.com/ and the price including rebate is $1700 plus $60 a month. There is a 15 month contract. You can get coverage anywhere in the US, some in Canada and Mexico depending on which satellite you get. For...

This is a joke - right? Please tell me your kidding.:eek:

Smells like a SCAM I just received a package of information from Choice Camping which appears to be tied in with Cavern RV Resort, Huachuca City, AZ. I called and talked to them about their deal. Basicly it is too good to be true and without giving me any solid information, they want $600 up...

Trying to get it right! I am seeing some confusion concerning tires on this forum. Please correct me if I am wrong. I have a 3400RL with a GVWR of 14,000 lbs and KARRIER tires, load range E, Max load of 3500 lbs (4 wheels times 3500 each equals 14,000 lbs - looks like no cushion here). The...

The fix I just drilled additional holes in the plastic to match the hinge and one hole in the hinge to match their holes in the frame. Not too much trouble, one side done, still have to do the other side.

Backup camera install I installed one of Tim's cameras on my 3400RL. I put the details on my website http://bobsmart.com/rvcamera.html PM or email me if you have any questions.

When it comes to repairs, I understand that everybody has different abilities and what they are willing to tackle, but I would like to get some recommendations on what a good basic tool box for a fulltimer should have in it. When it comes to sockets and wrench's, I don't want to carry sizes I...

package deal I bought the camera, monitor and all cables as a package from Tim at http://www.rvcams.com/ I would suggest that you call him and get his recommendations, he was very helpful. The one he sold me is no longer in stock. What I got in the package was the camera, 60 foot cable that...

pictures of monitor added Go back to my web site. I added additional pictures on how I mounted the monitor.

need more pictures!! I put the mount on the top of the dash and the cables come up from under the dash. When I thought about it, I realized that the monitor is only working when I am hooked up, so I don't need it on the dash when I am just cruising around. I did add some sun shield to the...

I had it done at the dealers, but I was there the entire time. Keven removed the lights, using a screwdriver to pop them off and then remove the fixtures. This gave him access behind the fiberglass for mounting the camera and also running a straight piece of wire from the center to the side to...

Pictures camera install I have been trying to figure out what to do with my web site so I have posted some pictures and information on how I installed the camera. Go to http://bobsmart.com and click on RV Travel. Any comments or advice on how I am handling the web site is appreciated. Just...

No lock :eek: Most of these RV tailgates do not have locks. My first one was stolen. I now have added a couple of screws to make it harder to get off. Hopefully, the alarm will go off before they get the tailgate. :mad:

Now to change the couch! Well I have ordered the table and now I need to go shopping for a different couch. The couch we have is too short from front to back - too hard for me to slouch (I am 6' 2"). I understand that they had to keep it short so it would not hit the slideout when it was...

OK - I think? :eek: OK - I think I am now set to receive any changes on the forum!

I noticed the RSS feed icon light up when I am on the forum, however, I get the following error message when I try to access it; Internet Explorer does not support feeds with DTDs What is going on?:confused:
