Thank you all, since we store the RV in our back yard so feel pretty safe with the TV out there, I think the advice to let it warm up before turning it on will do for us!

no matter what TITLE I give this, it says it's too short. So I'll try here I guess. We store the Bighorn for the winter in freezing temps, should we remove the TV's for the season also?

We are getting ready to take off on Friday, and had our Bighorn's brakes and bearings checked. When they replaced the lugnuts, they ruined 16 of them. They are trying to replace all 32 of them as a courtesy to make amends, but so far can't find a match. Is there a model number you...

hmmmmmmmm, I lost my last post. lol Anyway, thanks for the comments. After reading the old posts on suspension problems, we might have partially lucked out. We have the Emco springs and they still have an arch, yet all four shocks were bent. The one was so loose it pushed the shock up...

We were supposed to leave this morning for a month's trip....... but discovered a tire unusually low. So hubby took it in and the tire had to be replaced. He found the problem was bent shocks, all four of them. Now he's double checking the other four tires on the inside as well. What's...

ahhhh, hubby says thanks, he'll try that!!

help... we just bought that Sears compressor. Primed it, can blow air out of it...... but it won't do anything once my hubby gets it on the tire. ?? It's silent!! Do you have to sit there awhile before it does it stuff? He can stick his nail in the hose thingie and it does blow air...

thank you! We appreciate the input! :)

Hey all... we've been RVing now for about six years, and never had a flat tire. Knock on wood. (hubby's head). My question is, he has grown tired of putting air in the tires for over an hour before a trip... are there faster air compressors out there that inflate to 110 pounds? We just...

Congrats on your new Bighorn... we have the 2009 3055 and LOVE it! We live in the Reno, NV area, but right now we're sitting backed up to Mission Bay in San Diego, CA... Beautiful, and super bike paths all around the bay and to the beach. This is our last trip this season, then it's home...

hey, let me vent too! I ride a lot, at least 20 miles every other day... and today was riding on a bike/walk way with signs EVERY WHERE saying to be courteous and to share the road... three people walking side by side would not budge, meaning I have to leave the path onto soft dirt...

there's a beautiful RV campground with hookups less than 1/2 hour from Crater Lake, you can't go wrong there! :) Check out Diamond Lake RV Park.

wow, that looks like you could get a ticket for obstructing your view? I'm glad you posted that, because that's what *I* wanted, and hubby wants the receiver hitch on the back of the trailer. The way I see it, there's no clear cut easy answer!!

he is ADORABLE!! I think I'm in love with yorkies! Don't tell Steve!!!!

how many bugs do they collect? We just got an estimate for a receiver to be installed and total price was ONE thousand bucks. We're not in THAT much of a hurry. Back to the thinking board.... so tell me again, how buggy do they get? My DH says we can't cover them in the front, as it...

we upgraded our tires about 3 months AFTER we picked up the new Bighorn.. looking back, we would have saved about $600 to have had them upgrade the tires before we took possession!! But we're happy because we feel ever so much safer! :)

thank you EVERYONE... and branson, a picture is worth 1000 words! Steve says he must be thick headed, because he didn't 'see' it until that picture. Thanks ..... it's FIXED!! :)

thank you all for your ideas and comments..... everyone here is just awesome! I think we can do it. If we fix the other problem with the converter or batteries, we'll do fix the shade, too. But if we have to take the Bighorn IN, we may as well let THEM fix it, right? LOL :)

I just noticed for the first time that the draw string on the BACK window shade is extremely frayed. This is not in an area that hits or rubs on anything, so I've no idea how it happened. My question is this, how hard is it to have that repaired/replaced? Is it a DEAR HUBBY job, or would...

thanks pull, Steve will be doing just as you suggest tomorrow!

thank you... hubby has a list of things to check and try tomorrow !:)

Thanks, JM...... I printed that out for Steve to read. And YES, Forest, I had already found your post from the past with the pictures of what you did, and Steve remembered, too. We enjoyed meeting and visiting with you and Karen, so you BET we'd love to see you when you pass this way...

I don't think you should see your lights going brighter. We noticed that on our way home from a month's vacation. Now we were gone 3 days and it seems our converter is out. Hubby tested the batteries and says they're fine, but we have no lights, etc. unless hooked up to shore power. Maybe...

thanks, pulltab... we have use of everything as long as we're connected to electric, but after it is unhooked, then nothing works.

We just got back from a short trip out, since our batteries were not working. Or was it the converter? How long is the warranty on those things? How do we tell which is the culprit? Thankssssss

We are on a month's 'vacation', met up with friends from another state. We were supposed to be together for the whole month, but they had a blow out a couple days ago. Did some damage to the fifth wheel, and really shook them up. Their Goodyear Marathons are only 2 years old, made in china...

thank you all, we're making calls now. The darned internet connection WOULDN'T last night, so I had no way to get back on here. We leave this morning after making the calls. No screw is missing or lose, and my hubby has temporary rigged it, but is not sure how long it will work being held...

We're trying to locate a dealer/repair place in Kingman, AZ

we are on the road, 2nd night out... and the landing gear motor is broken. We don't know why, but it is. Does anyone know where we go or where we can get a replacement? We're still under warranty, but no one is open today. We're in Pahrump, NV tonight, then to Kingman, AZ. Any ideas? Any...

We have them on our 2009 3055 and love them! So nice not to worry about those Mission tires anymore. We have NO problem with clearance.

well, if I was full timing I would have to iron. And wouldn't you know, one of my favorite tops needs ironing. GEEEEEEEZ I do not like to iron! I'd rather clean and do laundry or grocery shop or play in the yard or ride a bike! I'm fine. lol

Sorry, can't help you. I absolutely refuse to iron in the RV. Period, end of report. :)

Well, DH does the driving because he really enjoys it, and we never go more than 200 or 220 miles in a day. I have pulled it before, but I'm fine with him driving. However, *I* am the one that parks it. It just works better for us. Besides, have you EVER heard of a man who follows...

I guess Daisy is getting hormonal. She is trying to mate with several things these past few days. When your caique goes through this does she lose any of her white feathers? I have been warned that they can get very scary during this time. eeeks Donna :)

Oh, I forgot.... we now cut a large vinyl tablecloth into two pieces, one for under each bird's cage. It works wonder for easy cleanup!~ Donna :)

Daisy, our caique... is only 2 1/2 years old. How old is yours that has fits? She does do little 'blitzes' occasionally, but doesn't draw blood. She's never lunged as yet. Being she is female, I have been warned she will get hormonal and could get nasty for a couple months out of the...

Hey Bob, now you can teach us next time you're our way! I just re-read my original post and can't believe I said we meet the 'most nicest' people!! Too funny, such poor grammar. Anyway, we DO meet great people. This forum is a big help and ice breaker. Stay warm out there! Donna :)

That's sooooooooooo true, I have to show this to my DH, who used to work in Right of Way. He'll crack up! Thanks for sharing, Donna :)

uhhh, I think I'll stick to my stationary bike! Hope all is healed! Donna :)

Yeahhhh, we're in too! Don't know our number yet, but will be looking forward to our package! Donna :)
