Just noticed a Bighorn with the Titanium cabover nose design here in the park where we are currently staying in Lake Havasu. When did that happen?

Just picked up a Jetpack 5510l - prepaid. That data is horribly expensive, $60 for 3GB that expires in 30 days - no rollover. But I thought it might be handy for those times when I can't get decent WiFi or need a more secure connection. I was willing to pay the high prepaid data rate because...

Thanks for all the suggestions for mounting the semiflexible panels. I ended up just using Eternabond tape around the edges. Heres some pics. Thats 450W of panels across the nose of the Bighorn - 90V @ 5A into the charge controller with remote panel in the rig.

Can you do this reliably? I see these adapters on EBay and was just wondering..

I have 10 24-led panels and 10 36-led panels with BA15s socket adapters. These are cool white and are brand new, never installed.. The boss wants warm white so I'm donating these to whomever can use them. Happy Trails Bob Krull

I need a TPMS system with an audible warning that I can actually hear. My high-frequency hearing is shot, and I just can't hear the squeaky high-pitched warning from my Doran TPMS system. Any recommendations?

Well, we are thinking about a larger trailer, and that means goodbye to my much-beloved Dodge 3500 SRW Megacab. It's already a bit over GVWR just pulling my current trailer. Been looking at new Fords, and assumed I would want an F450. Now that I've looked a little closer, it looks to me like...

I have a strip of Eternabond I've been carrying around for at least 4 years now. I recently cut off a small piece to patch a sprayer tank and it seemed to work just fine, but it made me wonder. Does this stuff have a shelf life?

How the heck did a family of squirrels get into my AC ducts? Can't get in through the unit on the roof, that's the first thing I checked.

Man oh man, Temperature shot up from mid seventies this morning to over 85 by noontime. Could get to be over 90 today... ;)

We're currently in Desert Hot Springs, CA at Caliente Springs Resort. We plan on pulling out in a couple of weeks and thought it would be nice to spend a few days in Joshua Tree. Can anyone recommend a campground? How about taking on water and dumping when we leave?

Getting ready to install generator. Installation instructions recommend sound insulation inside the sheet metal enclosure. Can anyone with a factory or professionally installed genset tell me if their compartment is insulated?

I've never been happy with the cheap ceiling-mounted speakers that came with our rig. One started sounding really distorted about 6 mos ago and I just disconnected it. Now a second one has started to buzz and rattle something awful. Time to replace all five of them with something better...

Later this month I'm going to be heading north from Walla Walla, Wa to Grand Coulee Dam. Gonna stay in the dam campground, take the dam tour, see the dam lightshow, explore the dam town. I'll be making my way back to Portland from there. Any suggestions for other sights to see or interesting...

Been meaning to change out these lousy springs. I was going to wait until fall when I inspect the brakes and pack the bearings, but I noticed severly uneven tire wear after our last trip. They weren't broken, but they were flat. A couple of them worse than flat. Here's pictures of old and new...

I'd really like to dump my satellite internet service and just use a Verizon data plan, but I'm not sure it will work at my house. If my buddy's blackberry can retrieve email at my location, or my kids' Verizon smart-phone can connect to the internet, is that sufficient proof that I'll be able...

Went to the Dometic website and searched for info on my RM3962 refer. Nothing - no parts list - no user manual - not a listed model number. What's up with that? All I really want is those stupid flimsy plastic spacers that hold the door ajar in storage.

Gray, dreary, rainy northwest weather has finally driven me bonkers. I've decided to head south to the desert for a couple of weeks. No reservations, no real plans, but would like to spend a couple of nights in Death Valley. Never been there before. Any advice on where to camp, what to see?

I'm finally thinking about adding a generator. In looking at the factory gen prep as delivered, I notice that the front compartment door does not have a louvered vent. Also, there is nothing stubbed out for a propane connection. I thought both of these were part of the factory gen prep. Am I...

We're going to find ourselves in the Las Vegas area in a couple of weeks, heading north back to Portland after a visit to the Grand Canyon. I'm trying to decide the best route to take from there to hook up with 395. North through the desert to Tonopah, or South on 15 to Barstow? Don't think I...

At Twin Rivers Vacation Park, Roseburg, OR. A great place to stop not too far off I-5. In the back they have some RV storage. There's a Bighorn parked there. Developing a nice green scum. Obviously not been used in a while. Very sad. Oh, it only has 2 slides. What model is that?

It looks like I have joined the spring chicken crowd. I don't like the looks of my leaf springs and I'm afraid to trust them for another trip. Especially after what just happened to Larry & Deb. We're still under warranty and when I called Heartland, they told me to deal directly with...

On our next trip south, I'd like to spend a couple of nights visiting friends near Walnut Creek, CA. Anybody know of a place to stay near there? A quick search of the internet only shows the county fairgrounds in Pleasanton (not very close) and something called "Sunny Acres Mobile Home and RV...

We have a Bighorn 3385 with 6000 lb axles and E-rated tires. I've recently installed a tpms and yesterday, on our trip home, the "high pressure" alarm went off. We started out in the morning in nice 70 degree weather with 80 psi in trailer tires and truck rear tires. By 3:00 in the afternoon...

I just picked up a hardwire Surge Guard off Ebay. Now I'm wondering where to mount it in my brand new Bighorn 3385. I can't see any place to put it except on the basement wall. Any suggestons or pics of your install appreciated.

Hello all, Been lurking all winter while we homed in on the appropriate Bighorn model. We're a few seconds away from finalizing our order for a 3370 and I have a question. Is the 10 CU FT refrigerator option available? How well does it fit in the corner? PS This forum was no small part...
