I understand the desire for protection for our family and ourselves, but how many people on this forum have fired their weapon while camping at a campground? I am not talking about at work as a LEO or at a gun range. I' m talking sitting around your CG having a beer and a pickup full of bad...

If you were wondering about being able to use the SS Badger between Ludington, MI and Manitouwac, WI, this should help. http://www.ssbadger.com/images-videos/videos/ Make backing up an RV seem rather simple.

Have you put the MOR/ride rear leaf spring suspension on your tow vehicle? I saw this at the Good Sam Atlanta rally and was wondering if it would improve the ride on my GMC3500 when empty. What was the total cost? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I made this bumper stick to add some humor to someone's day. Maybe they will stop texting and start laughing.

On a hot sunny day, I looked into the cabinet on top of my refrigerator in my BH3055RL and saw daylight in the back of the cabinet. Also, with 105 degree heat outside, this panel was very warm. On a 3055, the refrigerator is in a cabinet that fits in a corner, with wedge shaped cabinets on...

The outside switch on my water heater is not functional. The rocker switch does not rock. It is stuck in the on position, but may not be functional. This is a Suburban SW12DE model. What is the easiest (best) way to replace this switch? 1. Remove the whole heater. 2. Access from the back and...

We had a problem that the electrical fuse for our bedroom would trip when slider was put out. This is the circuit under the bed and the adjacent wall sockets. Once out, the fuse could be reset and would function until the slider was moved again. Turns out that the 120 electrical wire was...

Two (2) light tan (a.k.a. cream or light mocha) leather (leatherette) recliners for sale. These are from our 2010 BH with Godiva interior. In very good condition with the exception of marks on the back panel from transport back to back. Two Flair plastic disks for under the chairs are...

Put our Big Horn into winter storage last week for a few months. I put it at the end of line as directed. Turns out that my location was next to a motorhome that was parked at an angle different than the other vehicles. Put down boards for under the tires. I parked parallel to him (or her)...

To take our minds off of our current problems, what if we were to start a humorous (maybe even educational) discussion of what problems travelers had in the 1800's with their new wagons they got for traveling westward. Sample topics might be: - Horses versus oxen (speed versus towing power) -...

After seeing the Attwood Edwin (Entry Door Window) at the national rally, I decided it was time to replace the yellowing window on my 2010 Bighorn 3055RL. I ordered the door from Attwood at noon on Wednesday and received my unit on Thursday. I think it helps that Michigan is next to Indiana...

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day, Bobbi my wife and I went into town and visited a shop. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and I said, 'Come on, man, how...

The past three winters we have left the frozen North when the temperatures have been in the 5 to 15 below zero (F) range. The following are some suggestions for people who will be taking their units out of storage and heading South: 1. Warm up your RV slowly. If you try to go from minus 10...

An actual law firm card, which reportedly won the Wall Street Journal Law Blog's "Best Law Firm Holiday Card of 2010" : http://www.manatt.com/holidaycards/2010/

If you use your campfire to cook, here are two tips in how to clean your pots and pans: Before using: Make a soapy paste and coat the outside of the pot or pan prior to use on the fire. The soot can be easily removed at cleanup time. After: If you forgot to use the soap method above, soak...

I have a 2008 GMC long box dually with a Reese 16 K hitch. TrailAir Service Center just did a great job of installing a Tri Glide Air Ride Pin Box on my 2010 BH3055RL. With the new pin box, I only have about 1/2 to 1 inch clearance between the back of the pin box and the side rail of my GMC...

I finally fixed the refrigerator door that was near impossible to open. This has been a problem from day one and the dealer was not able to fix it on two attempts. The doors would not unlatch easily. We broke one door handle trying to squeeze hard enough to open the door. The problem was that...

I bought a great little product for use in campgrounds that have limited range WiFi. This is a small antenna/amplifier that connects to your laptop or PC via a USB cable. I bought it because I have been in campgrounds where I had to go sit at some picnic table in the park because I couldn't...

We will be traveling to a warmer climate this winter from Michigan. No doubt we will be stopping at CG along the way that may have the water during the day or even have the site water turned off. We would like to use our fresh water holding tank at night, but are concerned with the fresh water...

My GMC Duramax has two batteries. One is for the diesel and the other is for the accessories. Since I just had the main battery replaced, could I have jump started the diesel from the accessories battery? The question is whether electrical damage to the computers would result? This is a...

We will be traveling from Michigan to Arizona in January. Even if we follow the warmer southern routes we will have a few nights below freezing. While we will be heating the BH 3055RL while traveling and at night, I am concerned about the fresh water drain valve hanging down below the...

This is what the new Duramaxs will use. The other diesels will probably use the same technology. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2009/08/first-look-2011-duramax-diesel-v8-engine.html

Has anyonhe had their Goodyears "regrooved"? Is this the same as "retreaded"? In the case of retreads, the amount of tire treads on the rad would seem to not make this a desirable operation. I would expect the flying rubber to do some damage to the RV when it separates. If it is a good...

Most campgrounds we have stayed at have a policy statement of "No Washing" of the RV. Where do you clean your RV when on the road for several weeks or months? It seems like most manufacturers do not recommend using power washers. Also it is sometimes hard to find commercial locations that will...

we just got our 2010 Bighorn 3055RL with the Samsung entertainment Center and Samsung TV. I learned that if you usea HDMI cable to connect two, you won't be able to listen to CDs if the TV isn't powered on. If you only watch DVDs this won't be a problem. I used a Red-Green-Blue cable instead...

My wife and I left our two bearded collies in the trailer when we went to the pool for a short time. When we came back, we could smell propane. It appears that one of the dogs had stood up on two legs to check to see if the breakfast rolls left on the range were reachable. In the process...
