    Re-cover and replace window coverings

    I live in my Bighorn full time and I am sick of the "everything brown" interior. I want to recover the valances and replace or just remove the side curtains. We have Roller shades. Anyone removed the valances and recovered them? It looks complicated to remove them. Also want to paint the...

    Space under steps for shoes?

    Has anyone converted the space under the bottom step (going up to the bedroom) for storage or for a shoe cubby? The second step has a drawer and the first step is just empty space. We really need a place to put our shoes when we come inside. I can't see any reason why we couldn't do...

    Dimmer for LED lights in my Bighorn

    I would like to install dimmers on the LED lights in the slide that are over the dining room table and also on the ceiling in the bedroom. We have found dimmers but have not been able to find any information on whether the bulbs that are installed are dimmable. Has anyone installed dimmers...

    Things I would change about my Bighorn

    We live full-time in our 2015 Bighorn and for the most part I am very happy with it. There are, a few things that bother me; in order of how much they bother me: 1. It is so dark inside. With the tinted automotive windows, the dark carpet and flooring and our dark furniture, it is dark all...

    How to remove AC duct covers in the ceiling

    This is probably a dumb question but I need to remove the AC register covers (round covers with vent fins) in the ceiling and can't figure out how to get them off without breaking them. Some genius at the factory left pieces of styrofoam in the duct work nd it is blocking the airflow out of two...

    Replace lights over the dining table.

    We have two flush mounted LED lights over our dining room table and I'd like to replace them with a pair of pendant lights. Has anyone done this and if so what fixture did you use and what was involved in installing them?

    Dents in our vinyl flooring

    After only a week of living in our Bighorn we noticed dents in the flooring from using one of the dining chairs at the end of the table, and the feet of the chair apparently dented the flooring. I'm disappointed that the flooring can be so easily damaged. Our solution is to put a throw rug...

    Lighting suggestions for the 3570

    I would suggest that the designers of the BH add a light in the laundry closet. I realize this might present a problem with a ceiling fixture with stackables in place but the closet is really dark. We added an LED strip light kit from Ikea to the ceiling of the closet and it works great. We...

    3570RS Owners...how do you use the cabinet next to the dresser?

    I am looking for ideas for how to best use the space in the narrow but tall bottom cabinet next the the dresser drawers in the bedroom. We are living in our BH full-time so storage space is a big deal. I haven't figured out how to utilize this cabinet. It does have a shelf but the space is...

    Where to stash a toaster oven when traveling

    I have a Breville countertop toaster oven that I want to use when traveling. It fits perfectly on my counter to the left of the stove but I am wondering how to store it when we travel. I also have a Keurig on the counter and have the same issue. We've been parked for a month but are getting...

    Residential Refrigerator mini mod

    This isn't really a mod but I wanted to share how I organized my side-by-side residential refrigerator. If you have one, you know the shelves are narrow and deep and it's hard to get to items in the back. I purchased various sized clear refrigerator/freezer bins from Bed Bath and Beyond...

    Cabinet light

    After a week of living in the RV I became frustrated with having to turn on the entry light whenever I wanted to see the controls for the lights which are hidden behind the entry cabinet. We also hang our keys there and it's too dark to see which set I want. Solution: I put up a battery...

    Noisy Microwave (Highpoint) fan

    We've only used our Highpoint microwave a couple of times. The exhaust fan is very noisy; not just the noise of air moving but a rattling noise that is loud and annoying. Any suggestions? The microwave oven itself seems to work fine, it'a the vent fan that is noisy. I am not familiar with...

    Garbage Disposal

    While browising RV listings I saw that the new Mobile Suites have a garbage disposal as an option. WOW...that would be fantastic since we will soon be living in our Bighorn full-time. We are planning to add the new Splendid dishwasher and would love to have a garbage disposal too. I'm...

    Dishwasher in 3570 RS

    Has anyone added a dishwasher to your 3570? We would LOVE to put in either a Splendid or Fisher & Pyckel but they are both are 22-24" wide and the drawer bank to the right of the sink is 20". I know the newest rendition of the 3570 has an optional dishwasher. Anyone know what kind it is and...

    Single bowl kitchen sink

    I would love to have a single bowl sink instead of our two dinky double bowl sink. I know the newest models have a larger sink on one side which is a big improvement but I really like a single bowl. Designate a space on the island for a dishwasher. We want to install the new Splendide...

    Built in end tables

    Has anyone tried to remove the built in end tables that are in the rear bay of some Bighorns? If you were able to remove them, how did you do it and did the wall look OK afterward or was it obvious you had removed them? I would like to put an 84" sofa in the rear but I only have 80" between...

    Outlet in hall outside bathroom

    I wish there was an outlet to plug in a night light near the steps from the upper level to the kitchen. It is a safety hazard at night when going from the bedroom to the kitchen. Our solution is to leave the light on the microwave oven on.

    Where to hang a TP holder in BH 3570 RS

    We picked up our new 5th wheel on Friday, and I am in a quandary as to where to mount a TP holder in the bathroom. There is a sliding door to the right of the commode and a swinging door to the left. I thought about a standing one but I don't think there is room between the commode and the...

    Electrical outlets in kitchen of Bighorn 3570 RS

    I am a new owner of the Bighorn 3570 RS but haven't taken delivery yet. In looking at photos of this model online I can't see that there are any electrical outlets on the microwave side of the kitchen where I would be plugging in a toaster, coffeepot etc. Can anyone with this model tell me...
