Big Horn spotted near Hot Springs, AR at Lake Catherine State Park on 9/21/08. Was planning on saying "howdy" but they left the day after we got there. Great campgroud. Hope they enjoyed their stay! B.

Thought I would pass a "warning" along. Don't let go of the extension while your finger is in the hinge. Ours slipped out of my hand while I was trying to get it to stay up and almost chopped the end of my finger off. Had to find an ER and have stitches. Now DH puts the extension up and...

Forest, thanks for your reply. I guess you're right but we thought it was strange that it happened at two different camp sites in two different cities. I guess I am more concerned about the lights getting real bright (more so than usual) than them getting real dim. Will see what next trip...

Lights dimming We purchased a 50 amp surge protector from CW. We used it at one camp site for several weeks with no problems. (30 amp/adaptor) Then we used it at another camp site (30 amp) in a different park and all of our lights kept getting real dim and then real bright. We then used it at...

Sorry folks. l didn't know this link had already been posted and I can't find a way to delete this post. I hope this link works. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u90/snopesbinary/Accidents/?action=view&current=crushroof.flv

The instructions did say there would be two wires but there was only one. He even checked in the other speaker. It may have been meant for the roof but it is now plugged into either the back of the receiver or the tv(I don't know which) in the bedroom and it works great. The sat wire is...

Well, after a couple of hours of the satellite installer man searching for the bedroom satellite cable to hook up a receiver in the bedroom I went to HOOT and found Jim's great instructions. Who would have dreamed the end of the cable would have been hidden away in the ceiling speaker? (By...

Lambert's Yum!!! After looking at that menu....who could resist? You can add Russell and Barbara to the list.

Recliners GaryB, we ordered our extra large recliners from Cabela's. They don't have the cushions so are not as hot. They are very comfortable and condusive to lots of naps. We love them. They had them on sale 1/2 price.

I love the idea of covering the OSB with linoleum. Where do you get it done? At a dealer?

Ceegee, we replaced our door window with tinted glass. I love it because I can see out now and it really opened up that side of the camper.

We have one of the clamps for the awning. CW installed it for us. The awning is very secure when using it.

Congrats!!! Jim, we have learned so much from this forum and enjoy reading the posts. Congratulations on your new job! You will be an asset to Heartland. Looking forward to meeting you in Branson. :)

I would advise against using DCon if you have pets in your camper. I had a little dog get behind a heavy piece of furniture in the house and she ate some of it. She died and needless to say it broke my heart. I never would have dreamed she could get behind that big chest. That's why I put it...

Thanks, LK. I got it!!!! You just have to spell it out for me. B.

Dog bone LK, is this the same as a dog bone? We already have one we use. Do we need another one just for the surge protector or is the one enough? Thanks for you help. B.

Don and John, thanks for your response. That answered our question. Barb

What to buy? We want to get a surge protector but I have a question. At home and, so far, everywhere we have camped we use 30 amps. If we purchase a 50 amp surge protector can we still use it with 30 amp? We haven't been able to find anything in the description relating to this.

That was great. Brought back a lot of memories and enjoyed the music! B.

Hey All, we just got our registration in. This is our first rally too, so we are really looking forward to it.

Rally We just registered for the Branson Rally. We are looking forward to meeting everyone then..........if not before then.

Thanks Ray and Lin. We are going to try leaning the bikes on the couch next time and see how it works.

Pickuphunt, I just want to make sure we are talking about the same decals. I am talking about the outside decorating "striping" decals that run across a couple of the windows. I don't know what the actual words are for them. Is that what you are referring to? I read somewhere to use a hair...

I can't decide if I(we:)) want to remove the decals that are over the windows. Hubby just shakes his head. Has anyone removed theirs and if so, was it hard to do and does it still look good from the outside? I could use some input. Thanks

I am glad you mentioned that about leaning your chairs on the couch. I wondered if that might work. We purchased a cover for the bikes for when you mount them on the ladder. Since we couldn't use the rack we use the cover while they are parked outside. We got the cover at CW and it covers...

We purchased a ladder rack but could only get one bike on it. The other one wouldn't fit.

We know how excited you guys are. We got ours in Oct. and the excitement hasn't worn off yet. Russell belongs to a hunting club between Benton and Sheridan. He took the BH last season. It's a nice camp and we really enjoyed it. I'm not much for the boondocking though. Enjoy!:D

Welcome to the group bsummit. We are just now getting acquainted and are looking forward to meeting everyone at the mini-rally. Hope you enjoy your BH as much as we do ours.

Congrats!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!! WAY TO GO HEARTLAND!!!!! I don't have any trouble believing that. We wanted to go and would have but forgot all about it. Was it very crowded?

Ken & Kathy, thank you so much for answering my post. I just wanted to make sure we ordered the right thing.

Has anyone ordered, or do you have, the optional "high backed desk chair" for their Big Horn? I am curious as to whether this is the same as the dining chairs or different.

What a neat idea! We removed the frosted glass on the big door and had tinted glass cut and installed. I couldn't stand not being able to see out the door. I thought it would bother me at night but it doesn't because someone would have to get on the top step to look in and with the dogs we...

Sizing We are thinking of ordering some jackets. Do they run pretty true to size? I am sure with the logo you can't return them. I also would like to order a "bucket" tote bag but am unable to select a logo therefore, the order won't go through. Are they available?

Spam Well, I must say ole "Jeanette" really got around. I got one too and just deleted it. Glad Jim took care of it!

We sighted a Big Horn between Little Rock and Benton at 125 mile marker at 9:00a.m. this morning(1/21/08). They were headed West on I-30.

Jim, thanks for starting the Arkansas Chapter thread but where did everyone go? We had a little trouble finding it but here we are.

Arkansas Chapter Jim, thanks for the info. We have never even been to a rally so we have no idea about organizing one. It seems an early rally would be great. We will be at Lake Catherine State Park (if nothing slips or breaks) the first couple weeks of April. Then again a week in May, I think...

Thanks, JPMorgan for the link. Will put the rally on our calendar.

Russellville We were camping at Old Post Rd. Campgroun at Russellville in our BH the week of Sept. 9th. Thought that might have been us but checked the calendar and it wasn't.

Rally I am trying to get information about the Branson rally. Could someone tell me where I can find it? Still trying to get my feet on the ground with this forum. Thanks!
