    Lippert springs strike again

    I have about 22K miles on my Bighorn 3410RE and while on the East Coast, we had to replace the springs on our 2009 trailer. I upgraded the Lippert 4 leaf spring to a 6 leaf spring. The OEM springs were flat and the trailer became dangerous to pull. I am no expert in trailer suspension, but I...

    Lippert springs strike again

    We have experienced the exact same issues with our Springs. I agree, the Lippert springs are certainly under-engineered for the size of the trailer. I have changed out the springs on my Bighorn to a 6-leaf set of springs and replaced the tires as they had worn unevenly. I would never have...

    Slide Seals Leak When Towing

    I have a 2009 Bighorn 3410RE. My wife and I enjoy the trailer. When we tow for long days, we are finding that going inside after the day's travel, we find exhaust soot, or heavy dust, coating the carpets and counter tops in the rear of the trailer. Has anyone had similar issues?:confused:
