Last weekend we parked next to a Bighorn and the owner had a nice Ford PU dually to pull it with. He was telling me that Ford installed the trailer brake controller and that it worked in conjunction with the trailer. So far so good. But, then he tells me that the anti-lock brakes on the Pick-up...

--------------------- We ordered our trailer without the ugly border wallpaper. The walls look so much better without it. Bill B. (Michigan))None

------------------- If that's the case then why did Weyerhaeuser Corp reduce their 25 year warranty on RV products to one year? Look around the other forums and you'll find people who are very disapointed with OSB Board (flooring and roof).:confused:

-------------- No doubt you'll be over weight by the time you add gas, water, food stuffs, clothing, tools, etc...... You don't say if your Ram is a Quad Cab, 4 x 4, long/short bed, or rear end gear ratio ( 3.73 is standard & 4.10 is for towing). These features add weight to your overall...

--------------------- Post this in the "Ask the factory" section. If you don't get an answer then post it in every section that has "Ask the factory" Your trailer should be returned to the factory for a complete overhaul.

------------------ Wouldn't surprise me a bit. It's very heavy stuff. You still have to wash/wax your rig..

For those that have been asking for more interior photos of all the Heartland units I've found the following website to be beneficial: http://www.heartlandrvs.com/BH/gallery/index.html Happy trails, Bill B. (Michigan)None

-------------------- Well, don't feel too bad. That Gel-Coat (all around) will help you out on the resale too. It's nice to sell a shiney looking trailer. Buyers like that look... None Bill B. (Michigan)

------------------------- If you're going to wait then consider the new Cummins 6.7 liter Turbo Diesel for that RAM. That's coming out too........... :o) Bill B. (Michigan)

---------------------------------- You bought a trailer without first being inside of one? How do you know you'll actually like the floorplan without walking/sitting in one?:rolleyes:

----------------------- Tell him to quit smoking. He will enjoy RVing more and live longer.:o

--------------------- Birk, I was also at the Detroit Show (Twice). Talked with the Mor-Ryde guy (they had their own booth) he said if the trailer came with shocks then they would not be removed. Bighorn no longer provides shocks on the 5th's. So I go over to the Jayco display and they have...

---------------------- In regard to "condensation on windows" wouldn't it be of great benefit to have roof vents, to exhaust the excess moisture? Just a thought. Bill B.

------------------------------------------ I guess that depends on which 2006 brochure you want to look at. I have both brochures. So when in doubt I take the higher number... o) Plus get this: 1st brochure says: length= 38' 11" GVWR = 18000 lbs Dry wt. = 12300 Hitch wt. 2400 2nd...

------------------------------------------ Chuck, You're over weight with that Dodge. Your 7680 (truck) plus the 12,300 (trailer) = 19980. That only leaves you with 1020 lbs. Figure the 12,300 does not include any extras you had put on by the factory or dealer. Everything I've read says add...

------------------------- Tom, Thanks. Yes, I will be at the trailer show next week. In fact I'm going on Wednesday by myself (Seniors day $5) and then again with the wife on Saturday. I will check out any Bighorns. Also will check out the Jayco Designer series 5ths. Have plenty of time...

--------------------------- Hmmm, there's something strange going on here. I went to the Mor Ryde website http://www.morryde.com/php/products/suspensions/towables/index.php and both their IS and RE trailer system show shocks are still on the trailer?? Any explanation?? Many thanks...

Checked out Weyerhauser's website on "Structurwood" and it is a OSB board. OSB board doesn't seem to be regarded highly by RV users. Read: http://www.campingworld.com/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/17022250.cfm I'm a little concerned about this. Any comments?? Thanks, Bill B...

Scott, Thanks for the update. So then the front & back trailer caps are not Gel Coated ? just the sidewalls? Thanks, Bill B. (Michigan)

On the Bighorn, is there a Gel Coat on the front & back caps as standard or must we order a Gel Coat Option? I don't understand the brochure statement, "High Gloss Gel Coat Exterior Glass". I wouldn't think you would put Gel Coat actually over the glass.. :o) Many thanks, Bill B. (Michigan)

Scott, Appreciate your quick response. Could I have (2 or 4 ??) shocks mounted on the suspension after delivery then? Just wondering. Thanks, Bill B. (Michigan)

THe new brochure (dated 1/06) says the Bighorns come with the Mor-Ryde Suspension System. Does this system includes shocks? How many ? 2 or 4?? Happy trails, Bill B. (Michigan)

On the new Bighorn Brochure (dated 1/06) it still says the main A.C. Unit come with a remote. I thought due to problems with the remotes that Hearland was discontinuing them? Happy trails, Bill B. (Michigan)

Just received the latest literature on the Bighorn ( Dated 1/06) and I don't see it mentioned anywhere if the bedroom is A.C. Prep'd. In case we buy one instead of special order I'm wondering if we can add a A.C. unit later?? MHappy trails, Bill B. (Michigan)

Anyone know if the Dual Pane Windows are tinted ? UV coated?? Happy trails, Bill B. (Michigan)

============================= Scott, Can't ask for anything more than being honest and trying your best. Hope a suitable answer can be found. Bill B. (Michigan)

=================================== Okay, looked over your website and saw where someone was using a drill to manually operate the hydraulic pump. Just one question. Where is this pump located? Is it under the slide? Many thanks, Bill B. (Michigan)

So basically what your saying is, the hydraulic system works on all slides simultaneously unless you manually turn a valve to bypass a slide. This also means that if the hydraulic pump fails than all slides are inoperative. And one is forced into a "manual mode". Whereas with electric motors...

New Cummins Diesel for Dodge next year (2007). 6.7 Litre instead of 5.9. Here's the story on it. http://www.everytime.cummins.com/every/pdf/4103902.pdf Happy trails, Bill B. (Michigan)

Bighorn publishes that they use "hydraulics" others use motors (rack & pinion?)on their slide mechanisms. Just wondering which is best and why. Many thanks, Bill B. (Michigan)

---------------------- Tim, Thanks again for the quick reply. I just couldn't tell with the literature I received. I'm glad to know they open up. I like lots of windows and lots of ventilation. The 3400RL you have, does it have the sink next to the shower ? The new ones have been moved...

................. ---------------------------------- Tim, Thanks much. One more question. Noticed you're driving a Dodge 3500 4x4. Is is a quad cab and how do you like towing it? Do you have the Cummins diesel? Bill

Please excuse my ignorance but when ordering a Bighorn with the Mor-Ryde suspension system are shocks included? Four? Happy trails, Bill B. (Michigan)

Do the Bighorn FW have a "manual water drain"?? Happy trails, Bill B. (Michigan)

Again I apologize if I'm posting this to the wrong area. Noticed on Bighorn's literature that the rear and rear side windows don't open at all. No cross ventilation. First 5th I've seen with this. Are you owners happy with that layout?? Many thanks, Bill B. (Michigan)

I think I posted this to the wrong area so I'm posting here also. Sorry if this is not correct................. We have a concern with the " 5/8" Seamless Weyehauser Structurewood". Very familiar with 5/8" marine plywood but I know nothing about this "Structurewood".. Anyone know how it...

We have a concern with the " 5/8" Seamless Weyehauser Structurewood". Very familiar with 5/8" marine plywood but I know nothing about this "Structurewood".. Anyone know how it holds up to moisture etc... ? Many thanks, Bill B. (Michigan)
