    And So it Begins! Caulking and Waxing Exterior of BH 3585RL

    After spending two 8 hour days caulking and waxing, I am nearly done re-finishing the outside of the trailer. We have the high-gloss fiberglass finish that has started to oxidize. I used the recommended ProFlex RV Sealant purchased from Amazon.com. I have about 90% of the caulking done. I still...

    Need Bedding Ideas

    Okay- so we have a 2011 BH with a King Bed. The comforter is like a bed spread that has quality fabric. We don't have the shams for the pillows. It is nice, but scratchy! It doesn't keep you warm and just doesn't work for me. I am used to a down comforter with a nice duvet. SO, the question I...

    To Patch or No To Patch

    Ugh- I picked up a screw washer and all yesterday. It's hard to tell, but I think it's in the shoulder. The tires have only 5k on them... I have road hazard so they can replace it. Given the reliability I need out of them towing the trailer- what are your thoughts?

    TireMinders Leaking!

    I thought it would be great to add a set of TireMinders to my trailer so I would know the pressure and temp during travel. Install went great. They read perfect and seemed to be working well. We left for the lake the following weekend. Tire pressure was at 110 psi all the way around and temps...

    Basement "Hatch" Modification for Plumbing/Utility Access

    After purchasing our 2011 BH last week, I was tasked with accessing behind the walls of the basement to track down a water leak. It turned out to be the vacuum breaker valve for the black tank flush. Once that was fixed via the port hole in the shower, it didn't make sense to just re-screw the...

    2011 Bighorn 3585RL TV Access

    I recently tried to watch the TV in the living area and found the sound out from the TV isn't going to the Jensen audio system. My last trailer had a swing arm so you could swing the TV out and manage the cables. I felt all around this TV and didn't see one. Also- the component and HDMI cables...

    The Division of Duties

    I travel in our Bighorn Fifth Wheel with my Lovely Mother :o. We RV together and have needed a system to delegate duties so we don't step on each other's toes. Keeping in mind, we are both A-type personalities, we both like to take control. Therefore, delegating duties before the trip makes life...

    Just brought it home! 2011 Bighorn 3585RL

    We (being my Mom and I) just purchased our first Fifth Wheel. Were both single mom's who love to go RVing, so we have made a pact to do it together since neither of us want to do it alone. I grew up with a tent trailer we had for 18 years. We recently upgraded to a 22' travel trailer with bunks...
