re: black-water/gray-water My 2010 Big Horn 5thwheel will be stationary for several months, maybe longer, what can I use to keep the black and gray water tanks from getting offensive odors. I would prefer not using a chemical product if possible. Thanks for your help. cheri

Our membership includes all of the Thousand Trail, Leisure Time and Naco campgrounds. We also can camp from location to location without having any "out-time". Ofcourse the time limit on each campground varies depending on the time of year and the location.

Our Thousand Trails membership was purchased back in 1976. At this time, there was only 1 campground which was located in Chehalis, WA. This is one of the few "orginal" memberships left. Our yearly fees are only $60.00 per year and cannot be raised. The membership also includes features...

There are several to check out. Thanks so much for your input. Always appreciated. Cheri/Draco

New members to the Ft. Worth, Texas area. Looking for a "home" for my Big Horn RV. Anyone know of a nice, quiet, RV park to "settle in"? OR, maybe how to find one? Cost is a big issue for right now. Thanks, cheri

Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and information. cheri

Since Ernie has already "passed", they don't consider this a medical emergency.

I do have the Good Sam Travel Assist. policy. Unfortunately, our trlr is licensed in Oregon, parked in California and I need it in Texas. Good Sam will only transport "back-home" to Oregon. It would be my responsibility to get the trailer to Texas. So---no help.

My husband of 35 years passed away last week. Ernie loved camping and RVing. We had been full-timers for 5 years. Then Ern contracted cancer and within a year he passed. MY QUESTON: We have a 38' Big Horn that we both love. The Big Horn is now in a CRA RV campground in Needles, CA. I...

We have been full-timers for 4 years now, but soon will need a "mail forwarding service". We live in Oregon and do not wish to change our residency. Does anyone have some ideas of who to contact for this service. Thanks.

I had hubby read your answers. Thank you so much for your help. The crack in the table is only about an inch long and just a hair-line crack, but wanted it taken care of b4 it got worse. Thanks again for your help. I'll write back when we get it taken care of .

WoW. Thanks for the info. I never would of guessed that the electric blankets and/or mattress pads as being seasonal. Guess cause I use mine almost every night. Thanks again.

We have a 2010 Big Horn 5th wheel. We are full-timers and I love the Big Horn. Problem: I have recently noticed that our kitchen table is beginning to split. It's only about an inch now, but I need help on what to do about this. Hopefully there is something I can coat the top of the table...

We bought our heated mattress pad @ Walmart.

We have a 2010 Big Horn 5th wheel. We have a heated mattress pad. We think they are so much better than an electric blanket. With the electric blanket, it's so easy to get the blanket all twisted up during the night. But with the heated mattress pad, the pad stays in one place. Always get...

I sure miss Alaska. We spent several years in that beautiful state. 3 years out of Sitka and 5 years out of Ketchikan. Working at logging camps. I always loved the float-plane rides. There is no state more perfect than Alaska.

Thanks for all your responses. As always, you and your information is totally awesome.

We are full-timers. Have a 3670 38' 2010 Big Horn. We love our 5th wheel. We are from Oregon and have never had to worry about having good water. But, being in southwest, Arizona mostly, good water is not always available. We have talked to many people and there is as many water filter...

We cross from Yuma to Algodones. My dental appointment is with Dr. Jose Valenzuela. We are not going into Mexico to buy liquor, prescription drugs or novelty items. I need extensive dental work done and cannot afford it in the USA. I never said that Mexico was a great country. And...

My original thread was 8 months ago. We went to Mexico and had a good time. We plan on going again next week. We do read the papers and occasionally watch TV. Thanks for your comments and concerns.

As always, you're the best. Not sure yet which smaller gun to choose, but you gave me several ideas. Thank you buckeyebob for your input. I would never choose a pink, blue, etc. color for a gun. I am so surprised that companies are allowed to manufacture guns in those colors. I can't...

I have a 38 hand gun. I like the gun, but it is too heavy and bulky to carry in my purse. Any suggestions on what I should purchase to carry in my purse. I want something large enough-----but also small enough to carry. I have a concealed weapons permit. Thanks for your help.

Did I see and hear the news correct? Today, July 4th, there were several men and women in all branches of the service, being sworn in to become citizens of the United States. I was in the U. S. Navy and I thought you had to be a U. S. citizen prior to joining one of our branches of service...

We just purchased 2 camping chairs @ Camping World. One is a "Club Chair", paid $45 and I love it. I don't know how to describe it, but it is wonderful. The other chair is a "Wide Copper Rocker". paid $40 and hubby really likes it. We also paid $8 extra for each chair. This is for a 3-year...

Thanks to you all for your suggestions. We are still greenhorns at this "full-time rv ing" and sure appreciate any help you can give us. It sounds like the problem with the hot water tank will be one for an authorized dealer to handle. What you have all said regarding the outside...

We have been full-timers for one year and love it. We have a 3670RL Big Horn and love it. We have been in Arizona and Nevada for a couple of months now and are having problems with the hot water tank and the fridge. Wondering if they are hot-weather related. My hubby and I are from...

I love all these comments. I was in the U.S. Navy and hubby was in the U.S. Army. We both have CCW's. Even though there are several things I would like to change, I love my country and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Lovin' the USA.

We are retired and full-time RVr's. Sold our house and live in our trailer full-time. We are taking a class in the near future to obtain a Concealed Weapons Permit. I have a book that you might be interested in. It is titled, "Traveler's Guide to the Firearm Laws of the Fifty States". The...

I don't do much freezing for future meals, except maybe for things like spaghetti. But I do like my salads, and with lots of veggies in them. So I prepare about 7 salads in small bowls. I put a wet paper towel over the salad and then saran wrap tightly over the salad bowl and stick it in the...

We will be going into Mexico from Yuma to Los Algodones. I was given the name of a dentist there with high recommendations. I need dental work done. Actually all I need is a spare upper plate. The cost is so minimal compared to our USA. As you have advised, I will contact the campground...

Thanks for the tips. We'll head to Douglas to see what the latest "scoop" is. We were only planning on parking our vehicle on the U.S. side and taking a van to Mexico. We just want to cross the border, not actually go "into" Mexico. Interested in what we can purchase and also on the...

We will be traveling to Yuma, AZ in a month or so. We have never been to Mexico and would love to visit. We have our passports. We are just thinking to park on the US side and take a bus into Mexico? Is that what most people do? We want to only spend a few hours. Maybe, like so many...

We have a 3670 2010 Big Horn. Would like to purchase a "Big Horn" decal for the trailer and for the truck. Any suggestions on where I can get them at a reasonable price?

We purchased a small tv recently. We have it hooked up in our basement so we can watch tv outside. Is that terrible? We thought when the weather gets a little warmer, we can pop some pop corn and pretend we are at a drive-in-theater. Does it get any better??????

We have been in Arizona for several weeks now. We have a 3670 2010 Big Horn. We are currently camped @ St. David and in the next week or two will travel the 8 miles to Benson, AZ. The weather here was perfect today. In the low 70's. Went to Tombstone, AZ. A wonderful little...

We have a Big Horn. We were in Lake Havasu last month. Like the town very much. It is larger than we had anticipated. Enjoyed seeing London Bridge and traveling across the lake to have lunch in California. What fun. Lots of interesting shops to wonder thru.

Thank you all for your help. I never realized the name of the counter tops was "Hanex". I couldn't find info on the counter tops in my paperwork. I also dislike the creviced edges of the counter tops. They are also in the bathroom. I never put items such as my electric skillet directly...

We previously had a 2008 3670 Big Horn. We loved the 5th wheel; however, when the 2010 3670 Big Horn's arrived, we up-graded. We are still loving the Big Horn, but I am not very happy with the kitchen counters. I am very careful with the counters not to damage them. But I am seeing small...

Thank you all for your suggestions. So many to choose from. I think we might try the Little Red Camp Fire. If we can toast marshmellows, wienies, make smores and stay warm, I'll be a happy camper. We saw them in Camping World last week. We really prefer a "real" campfire, but that is...

I am so cold-blooded, but at the same time love to spend time outside. This time of the year, even in California, (where we are now), it gets chilly at night. I would be so happy to find something to make the night warmer (at least for a couple of hours after the sun has gone down). I want...
