Ugh! Well thanks guys. We're on our way home to Wisconsin from Virginia. Will do some calling to see where it can be done close to home (before the it snows again). Jay

I was on the roof yesterday and noticed a handful of U shaped staples coming loose - pushing up under the rubber roof material. Location was along the rear edge of the door-side slideout, by the ladder. Should I slit the rubber, hammer down the staples and reseal the roof, or schedule a drive...

We used to but not anymore. We retired from Langley AFB last year and now live in Wisconsin. Just down visiting our kids who stayed in the area. Jay

We have cracked Corian countertops that happened after the 1 yr warranty. The extended warranty doesn't cover countertops... No help from Heartland.

see a BigHorn? Sue and Tom Wharton, We have a 2007 3400RL at the Anvil CG in Williamsburg through the end of Oct. Do you want to stop by to inspect a BigHorn to see if one would work for you? The newer ones are a bit different, but this would give you a good idea. Call me at 757-660-2422. Jay

I attached it on the same place, but I know you're supposed to attach off the hitch in case the entire hitch comes off... but I shorten the cable vai a zig-zag overlap and use a small zip tie to clamp it together. I expect if the rig does separate, the ziptie will break and the cable will...

Oshkosh Mark, so sorry for the late reply, I've been off the net for a while. Sleepy Hollow had 30a and water only. We had to pay $25 to have the tanks pumped out. Luckily only had to do it once. Packed in so tight, I had to retract the bedroom slide so neighbors wouldn't bump their...

On our trip out East to see our new granddaughter, saw a BH leaving the Wisconsin Dells last Fri (Oct 2) and another near Warrenton, VA headed South to I95 on Sun the 4th. We're now spending a month in Williamsburg, VA.

It was tricky getting the 3400 maneuvered into the Sleepy Hollow CG for this year's airshow week. Tons of people and lots of flying!

Wine cooler Finally home! Gary, here's two pictures of the wine cooler we bought at Target Stores a few years ago. It's an 8 bottle Sunbeam cooler. Debbie thinks it made too much noise at night so we quit using it last year. We placed it on the upper shelf in the front wardrobe above the...

Near Williamsburg our favorite is American Heritage RV park. Sites have concrete pads. Many big rigs go there. www.americanheritagervpark.com

Thanks Jim! Fun seeing other HL owners on the road! Gerald, we're at American Heritage, just down the road from y'all.

Very nice rig pulled by matching Volvo tractor with black Smart car on the back. Haven't been able to stop by yet to say hi. We're in the Bighorn site 13.

Answering my own question, I called Tredit and they said all spare rims they provided for the Bighorns are G rated.

Yep, mine too. I wonder... how many of you that upgraded to the 614s, bought new rims also? Mine are the aluminum Series06 and say Made in China... Finally, how can you tell what the spare tire rim is rated to? Mine is a white steel rim. The only markings are stamped 1 12 6 (date made?)...

Thank you to everyone for bearing with me. I'm convinced and ready to upgrade tires while on our trip in Williamsburg, VA. After I post, I'm crawling under the rig to check the rims to see if they're G rated and then call for an appt! Safe travels! Jay

Super! Don't get frustrated going through the setup and menu. I didn't worry about setting up alerts for my specific county, I kept it general to make it easier for travel. The menu is in depth setting up the alerts for various weather threats (hurricane, tornado, flash flood, freeze warning...

We finally found a wx radio with a selectable alert tone, so you don't leap out of your skin when it goes off. With it set on Low siren, it's a resonable volume. Found on e-bay last year: Midland WR-300 all hazards alert radio. It has lots of options, good menu, selectable alerts (you...

I have money and time for neither option, but one outcome (better tires now) is much better. I'm trying to decipher the relative risk of Karrier brand to comments on the thread. I see notation of mission and china bomb - are these code words for Karrier or some other brand? I wonder what...

Tire risk Glad I found this thread! Our 07 BH 3400 came with Karrier Loadstars and we'll have about 6,200 miles on them now. What's the word on the street on the Karrier's? How risky are they? We're currently on a trip and am wondering if I can wait until we get home to change them - about...

I left it at home this trip, will have to send it when we get back end of the month!

I pulled the fireplace and found the speaker wires pushed too far into the speaker connectors - it was making contact with the plastic insulation. Pulled them back a bit to contact the wires and it works great!

Jim and Bob, thanks for the quick replies! I too will get a heat strip for the cold wx camping. Looking at the Carrier 13.5k btu low profile. Jay

Ditto on the Firestone Ride Right suspension. Also installed underhood air compressor and tank for very cool air horns as well!

Gents, how do you know if the coach is prewired and braced? My 2007 Bighorn 3400 RL came with a circuit breaker already installed for the optional front A/C. Now we're seriously considering adding the front unit but not sure if the ceiling is ready. Can I drop the vent and find the pigtail...

Concerning DD-214s, Wisconsin allows you to record them with your County Registrar of Deeds which make them certified. They are not for public viewing either but held in the private section - only you have access to them. Check with your County Veteran's Service Officer to see if this works in...

We're the Wisconsin folks staying here for 2 more weeks visiting our sons and Langley AFB where I retired last year after 27 yrs service. We really like the American Heritage RV park. Used to come here a lot when living in Yorktown, VA.

Just discovered our spare tire valve stem was installed wrong on our 07 3400RL. The steel rim has a large hole for the valve, but a smaller diameter stem (car type) was installed by the factory. Result was a bad seal at the rim and lateral pressure on the stem caused air to escape. Simple...

Thanks to all for your replies! Jay

Cracked Corian counters Thanks! Factory warranty cover the repair costs? Jay

On our first outing of the year (July) I found a crack in both the Lav top and kitchen extension Corian surfaces. The main kitchen top is ok. Any tips or help to fix these? Thanks, Jay Pearsall, 2007 3400RL jayboyf22@charter.net

After taking delivery last month, I modified a few items on our 07 3400: The bedroom light switch panel arrangement was a bit odd. The first switch was Shower, then Vanity and finally Overhead. When I first step into the bedroom and put my hand around the corner for the light switches, I'd...

In our old travel trailer, Jay used to run a rope light (the kind people use at Christmas or for kitchen lighting) under the foam insulation tube over the hose. In inexpensive heat source that worked great. The outdoor hose never froze again.

Thanks everyone for your input. I have the checklist now. You've been very helpful! Jay

Thanks Gents, we should be picking up our Bighorn 3400 just before Christmas! Jay & Deb

Does anyone have a good PDI checklist? We are picking up our new Bighorn 3400 next month. Thanks! Jay and Debbie

Does anyone have a good PDI checklist? We are picking up our new Bighorn 3400 next month. Thanks! Jay and Debbie

Marv, glad to hear most everything was good. We had noticed in your pictures where you put your towel bars. Our 3400 should be at the dealer any day now, but we won't be able to pick it up until Christmas. We can't wait! Jay and Debbie

We love the new layout and called the factory to make sure we were getting it on our 3400. There is much more room on the desk area for a printer and your papers. Take a look at Smokeybare's pictures.

I had heard you were picking up your new 3400. Ours has just been finished at the factory and we haven't seen it yet. I love the new desk configuration. Was everything OK with yours? The pictures are great. Enjoy yourself!
