    Those that have recent model Ford DRW’s (Platinum models, in particular): how do you perceive your current resale value, if you were to sell now? We are possibly going to have to upgrade our current 2008, or consider going in another direction RV-wise. And we’re wondering what you think the...

    Sliding shower door handles/stoppers

    I’ve searched online for quite a while, trying to find a replacement source for these handles (and primarily, the set screws and plastic or nylon inserts that hold those screws in place). Anyone know of a supply source? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    MCD shade issues

    We have a Bighorn 3760 that has two very wide windows...one in the back and one on the dining side. Both the large shades have lost their ability to retract. We have re-wound the spring per the instructions in the manual, but they won’t hold for more than two or three times of raising and...

    Slide roller replacements

    Thank goodness we hadn’t yet replaced our damaged flooring after the first roller bracket broke, as we just had another one give way after a short trip. We want to replace all of them before we replace the flooring. I don’t really want to go back with the standard replacements, as they...

    LED under-trailer lighting

    Has anyone ever successfully used multi-color LED rope lights, rather than LED strips, for underbelly lighting while parked? I’ve seen these particular lights on sale at our local Costco yesterday. Thoughts? Ken Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mor/ryde SRE 4000 problems

    In doing a pre-trip inspection and lubrication, I noticed that our one-year-old heavier duty Mor/ryde suspension shackle is damaged. My first question is, 1) can we drive it from Bakersfield to the rally this week in Jackson (about 4 hours) in this condition? And 2): can the Mor/ryde rep at...

    Flooring replacement question

    Has anyone replaced their flooring with luxury vinyl planking? If so, how did you raise the slide up enough to get the flooring all the way to the edge beneath the slide? -Deidra Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Water heater anode rod

    Time to replace my rod. Received (2) 1-1/16” rods (wrench size) but they simply refuse to thread into the opening. Thread count and size appears to be the same, and I’ve struggled for nearly an hour trying to square up the threads and get them to ‘take,’ with no luck yet [emoji86] Am I missing...

    Norcold 2118SS cooling challenges

    We are aware of the many people who have posted previously regarding difficulties keeping RV-style fridges cool, especially in hot weather. In that regard, and armed with a new dual transmitter wireless thermometer, I thought I would check our rig before heading out on the road again next week...

    Heater tubing under floor of Bighorn 3760

    While roaming around behind basement walls searching for unused space, I noticed a loose pipe (pic #1) that may have been the cause of certain airflow issues. The question I have (pics #2 & 3) is whether anyone has this 1.5” piping running to any particular fitting to heat the basement - or...

    1” vinyl exterior screw cover trim stripping

    Anyone ever ordered this stuff in 50’ or 100’ rolls? Almost every foot of this on my Bighorn has sun-rotted and cracked, after 2+ years. Ideas on where to order? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SOLVED: Leveling system display failure

    Our leveling system display is experiencing intermittent failure. We’ll have a backlight, but no readout, although we do get some flashing indicator lights. Loss of display equals loss of functionality. It has happened twice so far. Any suggestions?

    Cooking and kitchen storage ideas!

    We have friends who attend rallies of FMCA who told us about the cooking workshops they held and how popular they are. With the Instant Pot becoming so popular, it would be fun and educational to have an Instant Pot demo/workshop/round table to share tips and recipes that work well on the road...

    Blowing fuses on rear wall sconces

    We have a Bighorn 3760 EL, and have started to blow 15 amp fuses on the interior rear cap. As far as I’ve found to this point, it only effects two 12-volt wall lights (sconces), but maybe more. No obvious source of shorting. The fuse panel identifies this fuse as “Rear wall/LP.” Any thoughts on...

    Suspension upgrades for tow vehicle

    Is anyone using or considering Torklift's StableLoad suspension kits? What I'm reading is interesting, suggesting these can do a better job than airbags, sway rods and other typical improvements to truck suspension under load.

    Reverse Osmosis water filtration for coach

    We love RO waters, but since our home and now coach don't have RO systems, we end up bringing bottled water from Aquafina or Desani. I've been considering putting in a small system such as https://www.pureblueh2o.com/product/4-stage-ro-system/ that typically sells at Costco for about $159...

    Slowly making mods and prepping for longer stays in our 18 month old Bighorn 3760EL.
