    Transporting Bicycles

    I want to carry two full size bicycles along when we travel and am thinking I might be able to stow them in the basement area. We don't full-time, so this area is not as loaded when travelling as some others. We have a 2014 Bighorn 3010RE and I don't have a rear bumper or trailer hitch on the...

    Question re: Long term Storage

    I have a one year old AGM battery in the trailer and have a question regarding long-term storage. The unit has been stored with the battery installed since mid-May, and we are not going to be able to get away now until early Sept. The battery was fully charged when stored, and I turned off the...

    New EMS PT50X

    Just took delivery of a new portable EMS from Progressive Industries, the EMS PT50X. After five years of electrical Russian Roulette, I broke down and bought one for the Bighorn. Looking forward to years of worry free (hopefully!) electrical hook-ups.

    In-Vehicle Long term Battery Charging

    I will be storing my diesel outdoors this winter and won't be driving it for a few months or so. I changed the oil, filled fuel tank and added conditioner to the tank, but am trying to decide what to do with the batteries. I want to leave the batteries in the truck and am planning on...

    Possible Phishing Scam?

    I recently placed an order with Amazon.com and following completion of the order, I received a confirmation from Amazon that my order had been received and would be shipped shortly. I (cheap that I am) elected the cheapest shipping, which would be USPS. At almost the same time as I received...

    Hello everybody. We are planning a trip to Eastern Canada and expect to be in the area of our nation's Capital around the end of May to mid-June or so. We have been that way a few times, but this is the first time with the Bighorn in tow. Can anyone recommend a good campground (either Quebec...

    Advice on New Slider Hitch

    I want to replace my fixed, 16K ProSeries hitch in my short box Ram with a slider hitch. There are many out there, and I am looking at the Curt 16K as it will handle my present BH 3010RE (just under 14000 loaded for the road). Does anyone out there have any negative experiences with this...

    Trailer Wiring Adapter

    I want to add an in-box plug to connect my Bighorn trailer wiring but still keep the existing 7 blade connector at the rear bumper area. I know there are a number of adapters out there, but does anyone have a recommendation. I am looking for something that will be "plug & play" and well made...

    Wheel Lug Nuts - Where to Buy?

    I'm having trouble finding lug nuts to fit the 16" wheels on my 2014 Bighorn 3010RE. The ones that came on it are 2" chromed 9/16" nuts that have a cheap chrome metal cap over the steel nut. The chrome caps are becoming stripped and I am worried that they will not be able to be removed if I...

    New Rubber on our BH3010RE

    Just had all five Towmax tires on our 2014 BH3010RE replaced with Sailun 637's yesterday. After almost 40,000 K, we have to say that we had no issues with the Towmax in that time. It would appear from earlier posts that we were among the lucky ones. The Sailun's look good and we are hoping...

    Recliner Removal - BH3010RE

    We are thinking about replacing the two faux leather recliners in our BH3010RE and I was wondering about the removal of the existing chairs. Does anyone know if the backs are designed for removal? I would like to save the chairs for other uses, but find them a bit too heavy for moving about...

    Wheel Balancing?

    I am ordering a set of Sailun tires for our BH and asked for prices including balancing and steel valve stems. One of the tire dealers said they never balance trailer tires, and the other was willing to do it, but also said that they didn't usually balance them. Any opinions either way on...

    Looking to Connect 30# Tanks to Portable BBQ

    We have a BH 3010RE and there is no external auxiliary gas line to connect to a portable BBQ. We currently travel with a Weber portable, and use a 20# tank with an extension hose to avoid using the one pound disposable cylinders. I was wondering if there is a safe and practical way to tee off...

    Do I Need New Wheels with Tire Upgrade?

    After reading numerous posts on this forum and other about the Towmax tires, I am replacing all five of the Towmax on my Bighorn with Sailun S637. The Towmax were rated for 80psi max, while the Sailuns are rated at 110psi max. I checked the wheels on the trailer, and the wheels from the...

    I have a 2014 BH3010RE with the original 6000lb axels, wheels and brakes (relined at about 10000 miles).

    Kitchen/Microwave Vent

    This probably comes under the heading of "dumb questions"...but here goes anyway. We recently picked up our BH 3010RE and brought it home. We are about 300 miles from the dealer, so don't want to go back for simple question. We have an exhaust fan from the under cabinet microwave to the...

    Just wanted to say "Thanks" to all who replied to my enquiry re: the purchase of the Bighorn 3010RE. We just put the down payment on the unit today and will finish up the paper work next week. The down side is that there is still a ton of snow outside and the temperatures here have been...

    New Member - Re: Purchase of 2014 3010RE

    My wife and I are retired and looking into semi-full time RV life for the next several years. We have researched a number of Fifth wheel units, and feel that the BH 3010RE would probably best suit our needs for the foreseeable future. I have seen comments by other posters regarding axle...
