    ATF: Bighorn - Longevity

    We love our BH3610 RE, 2012. I would like to know how long we can expect it to last. We live in it full time. We fix and maintain things as needed, but I am asking about the frame, walls, structure, etc. How long do banks finance a new one. That would be a good indication. Thank you!

    Sofa and Chairs

    After 6 years of heavy use, our sofa and chairs are looking ragged. They need to be recovered or replaced. Does anyone know of options to purchase other than camping world? The sofa needs to convert to a bed which is hard to find at a conventional furniture store.

    How old is your BigHorn?

    I just wondered how long a Bighorn is expected to last? Ours is 4 years old and we have given it plenty of use and are now full time. Granted there is some maintenance, but how long can we expect it to hold up? How long will the banks finance? That may be an indicator........

    Domestic Vinyl Awning

    The awning on our Bighorn is a visual mess. It has been this way since a few months after it was new. It gets mildewed easily. We would take great pains to put it up dry, but next time it was opened, water would come out and it was stained. We have tried multiple products to clean it...

    North Texas I-20

    I am a bit overwhelmed planning an adventure from central Florida to Las Vegas and back, March 2016. We will be traveling through Texas on I-20, pulling 40 feet. We just don't know anything about what there is to see and where to stay in TX. I can find campgrounds, but I don't know if we...

    Lost camper keys

    We went to the beach today. Went back to the camper, but my keys decided to stay at the beach. Does anyone know how I can get them replaced? We still have my husband's set, can we just go to camping world and get another set made or do I have to order from Heartland?

    Storing portable waste wagon

    If this is answered somewhere else, please let me know. My searches find nothing............. We have a rather large honey wagon; it's about 42 gallons. We empty gray water only. The good thing is that it only takes 2 trips to completely dump the gray tanks. The bad thing is that it takes a...

    Awning shade panels

    It seems we always end up with the afternoon sun on our patio. The awning doesn't do much in this case, so we are looking at the shade panels that you hang from the awning bar and then stake into the ground. They also have angled ones for side shade. I've found Patty O Shade and Sunblocker by...

    Who decides when, where to go and stay?

    It would be interesting to know how and who makes the plans. Do one, or both or you decide when to go and where to go? Do you make advance reservations, or wing it, or a combination of both? What is the minimum number of nights you prefer to stay in one place? etc.....:D

    Cleaning and dusting the wood

    What do you use on the wood cabinetry and table top to clean, dust and protect the wood? Endust? Pledge? I tried Murphy's Oil Soap but was not satisfied with the results. Looked for the product Cabinet Magic, but I suppose it is not made anymore..........

    Hanging towel bar on bathroom wall

    I would like to hang a conventional towel bar on the wall behind the commode, just below the little cabinet. Has anyone done this? I have reservations about making holes in the wall material and how much weight it can support; we can't exactly just putty over it to repair it if it doesn't hold...

    Ice maker ice tastes bad

    We got our Bighorn May 2011. I mentioned to the salesman during walk thru that the ice maker ice smells and tastes bad. He said that it takes a while. Can anyone tell me how long it might be before the ice is usable? The ice maker works great and churns out a bunch of ice, but yuck. Here we...

    Mega Shower

    We really enjoy the huge shower. Very nice design. However, just a warning to any one else that may have this shower with the triple glass sliding doors. In our BH, the center glass door got a half dollar sized hole (on the edge) broken during transit. There is a thingamajig that is supposed...

    Functionality with 30 amps instead of 50

    We will be camping the month of December next to the beach in South Carolina. They only have 30 amp service and so far we have had 50 amp since we got our RV in May. Since we will not need A/C, I'm hoping that we will not really be inconvenienced too much. Is that right? Will we be able to...

    Fireplace Y or N

    Just thinking about the options to order or not. I'm not sure if I will miss a fireplace or not. Right now, I think I would rather have the cabinet space. Those of you that have one, are you glad that you do? Is it used? Those that do not have a fireplace, do you wish that you did? Thanks.

    3580RL Questions

    Considering a 3580RL for delivery about March 2011. We prefer the separate room for the toilette and the island kitchen. Would we be ordering a 2011 or 2012? What are the differences in features and pricing? Will the 3580RL be included in the 2012 line up? Why aren't there any photos of this...
