We’ve been to four of the Ruidoso parks, all have good and bad points. Pine Ridge & Twin Spruce are very busy, both nice places, but without reservations you are taking a chance (Twin Spruce had free WIFI. I’d go back in a minute to either. Bonito Hollow was nice. Little Creek RV Park is...

Out West Racerguy, "Any suggestions on where out West?" Ruidoso :D HTWT

Grace & Brian, It was a pleasure for Diana & I to meet you at the Oklahoma Flying J this morning, we made it home about 5 hours later...hope you made it to Roswell as planned. We are really sad we could not attend the rally, glad you enjoyed it. If everything goes right we will make it there...

In my work we attend a large, very structured gathering with venders and training sessions…then 5-7 months later have a smaller get together where we all take it easy, maybe a smaller area vender display, a very informal educational sessions on various topics etc… At the latter it’s very...

Is the Eastern Part of New Mexico in the Dallas Area? We're two hours from Lubbock and two hours from Amarillo? Dallas is 8 hours...None

Yet Another Bighorn Sighting OK.....Who's got the brand new Bighorn being pulled by the brand new shiny black truck I saw this afternoon in New Mexico, a few miles south of Portales on US 70 about 1:15? You sure looked nice...HTWT :D

Denny, If you are looking at my travel plans, they have changed quite a bit. As far as your questions, we stay at Walnut Meadows Campground, exit 76 off I-75. It’s only a short distance from the interstate, easy on/off, we have relatives there also. We pick them up and go to Ashland when we...

Ryan, The vin your dealer advertised is 1H9GF35246E459593, if this is correct, I’ll almost bet as soon as the factory answers this you’ll have your info, but, here is my 2 cents worth. The floor plan looks exactly like an early model 3500, it’s still called a 2006. In the first brochure...

So, where is everyone going to be before & after the rally? We may have some adjustments to make but initial plans for us are: 28 May – Clovis, NM - Sallisaw, OK 29 May – Sallisaw, Ok - Nashville, TN 30 May – Nashville, TN - Munfordville, KY 31 May – Munfordville, KY 1 Jun – Munfordville, KY...

Geocaching is a great pastime, and a fantastic adventure for the entire family…both Diana & I like the hunt. You don’t have to be a gps geek, just someone that owns one, and is interested in getting outdoors. As of today, (1 Apr 06) there are 250,296 active caches in 221 countries. In the last 7...

I agree on the chat for Geochacing…and…maybe we can get a few hours to go look for a few. I did a search for zip code 46526; Goshen, and there are tons of them in the area. Anyone else into Geocaching? HTWT ;)

We have been geocaching on and off for a while now. Ironically we just went out last weekend and found two more. We use a Garmin GPSV, it does the job well…same unit I use in the truck hauling our 5er. I also use Street Atlas as well as the mapping software you can buy for the Garmin. On the...

ChopperBill, I had my dealer install an additional group 27 battery & case. He modified the air intake to accommodate the additional case. The only issue is that I have to zip tie the case cover to the case, not really a problem. I just bought a 25 pack of zip ties and when I have to get to...

Just in case you are not keeping track, Jim just posted that there are only 4 sites left, WOW! Filling up fast! On another note, there are 13 Landmark’s and 13 Bighorn’s registered. The most of one model is the Landmark Grand Canyon with 8, twice as many as the nearest, the Bighorn 3500 with...

Smaller Inverter ?? Does anyone have any idea how large of an inverter I can use with a cigarette lighter plug to connect into the already wired 12v connection in the desk/entertainment area of the Bighorn 3400? I’m looking at the Prowatt RS400 Sinewave Inverter at Camping World. Have no idea...

Barney, I had my dealer add drawer locks to all sliding doors, including the pantry and dresser. Some of them are a little tight, I think I'll try and loosen them a little this year. I must have one of the earlier versions of the 3400 as I have had quite a few "little" things worked on. My...

timk, you’re right, I just thought it ironic that you said the same thing my dealer did, I’m now looking at the inverter/charger option of the 2.0 rather than just the 1800 inverter. Thanks again, appreciate it, HTWT. :rolleyes:

:D timk, WOW!!!!!! Didn't think I'd get such a helpful answer so quick. I wasn’t considering the inverter/charger combo but you may have convinced me. Ironically, I was visiting my dealer yesterday and he also made the comment “many people who are spending as much for a inverter, consider going...

I’m looking to install an inverter, think I’ll need about an 1800 watt. Would like it to be true sine wave, have a remote on/off switch, automatic switch-over when shore power is disconnected and a remote battery status monitoring panel. I plan on wiring it directly to a couple of circuit...

We just got back from the Amarillo Outdoor Boat & Camper Show...glad we went. Nothing compared to the Bighorn we presently own. We only saw a very few minor things we liked but NOTHING compared to our 3400 Bighorn...glad we went. HaveTrailerWillTravel. :D

JoPa I never got an answer except for the replies below, I can only assume it's the expansion of the ducts. I got used to it somewhat but it's still there and sometimes anoying. HTWT

timk, Yes, I have the vent and I do hear air escaping when I fill however I have left the caps on more than one day and when I opened them the next day there was a vacuum from one of them, I don't understand it either but it works for me. The only thing I’m going to try and do is try and...

Loosing Fresh Water timk If you are referring to my initial post in April 05 and then subsequent replies about loosing fresh water… After I fill the tank and then cap the three drain tubes I am able to travel with a full tank and when I get there it’s still full. I have found that if I...

How I solved the problem I went to Lowes and purchased plastic inserts with screw threads on one end, then bought the caps. Inserted the plastic fittings and screwed on the caps. I can now get to my destination with all the water I put into the tank, when I get there I take off the caps. I...

BluegrassMan, Thanks for the input, but why only 2/3 full?

Loosing Fresh Water Scott, I didn’t mean to imply that the fresh water tank emptied when I pulled the grey water valves, it emptied while on the hill, nose up. It didn’t have anything to do with the grey water valves, I just happened to be emptying the tanks at a dump station that was on a...

Loosing Water From The Fresh Water Tank Coley, maybe you can shed some more light on this…:confused: Previously I asked the question about loosing water from the fresh water tank…I have to ask again. We like to dry camp and when doing so we have to have all the water we can carry. I fill...

Thanks Jim, It's just those few times when we boondock or drycamp, when we want to get-away from it all that I think I need all the water I can carry. I'm well set-up for it with the twins (2 honda eu2000i generators) but I'm always concerned about water, can't seem to go a day without a...

Has anyone had any problems with water leaking out the fresh water tank drain tubes. I fill up at home and when we get to our destination we have only 2/3 (or less) of a tank left. At home when I fill, the water gauge shows full and the overflow runs, can’t put anymore in it. Additionally, it...

We are finally getting the time to really clean our BH. We gave it a quick wash before we took off but now have about 5,000 miles on it and road grime is showing. We learned from another site about bounce taking off the bugs, it worked OK but it was still a lot of hard work, we’ll take some...

Jeff, Branson is nice. Our first (and only long trip with the BH so far) was a 3,000 miler from NM to KY and back. On the way home we were traveling through MO and when we got to Springfield, I don't know why but I hung a left and went to Branson. Not planning the side trip and not really...

Looks like 1250 miles for me, but you know what, we might just make it happen. I need to do something with my time, will seriously look into it.

DJ, After Pop-ups this is the second coach I've had, both stoves the same. I've noticed that propane does not heat as effeciently as natural gas and you have to keep a lid on the spaghetti pot to boil the water at first. We've gotten used to it and can say we make some great meals. Of course...

Back On Line None All, I too am glad WE are back on line. At least that’s how I feel, it’s a “we” thing, and the administrators efforts are well received, thank you! I also thank you for your email reply on the situation at hand, hopefully it will be resolved. As for the forum, I think I’ve...

We’ve had our BH 3400 for a few months now and have put it through the ringer, already have 4,000+ miles on it. Two mods I’ve made for the electrical system are simple holes. I moved the bedroom TV to the top cabinet so we could see it better, drilled a 1 ½ “ hole in the back of the upper...

During our first trip out in our new Bighorn 3400RL it got down to 34 degrees at night. We used the heater and after 5 minutes or so we heard a popping noise from the ducting near the heater (sounded like metal ducting). Just one “pop” and then it was quiet. A few minutes later it happened...

Well, we finally took the shakedown trip in our new Bighorn 3400RL and all in all it was GREAT! We love the unit but as usual we learned a few things. The weather was fantastic for New Mexico this time of year, a little windy but the trailer held it well. After years of pop-ups, last...

Well, we finally picked up our new 06 Bighorn 3400 today. Having never had a 5th wheel before, this is HUGE! We live on a small street had to try 6 or 7 times to get it into the driveway, good thing the neighbors across the street were not home...I needed their driveway to back in. We took...

Jeff, Thanks for the info, I'll have them make the call Monday. As far as the cost, guess if thats what it takes, so be it. I'll post the pictures when we get it, can't wait, gotta figure out how to get it in the driveway first. Thanks agian:) :)

We are scheduled to pick up our new 2006 Bighorn 3400 Wednesday and the Mrs. is already making plans for changes. First she wants to see if I can find a convection oven microwave to replace the present microwave installed. Having never had one I don’t know where to start. Went to Sears...they...
