Bought a 2006 Heartland Bighorn 3400RL to take over the full-timing with and let it sleep quietly in a barn during the winters [emoticon]

We added a clothes line between the two tie-down points on the passenger's side of the TC. We used plastic coated wire and installed a small turn-buckle to keep it taught if it develops any slack. We can use this to hang towels or whatever. It does not interfere with the TC's tie-downs.

Today I added a "man's" lock to the rear door!

This along with my pet rattle snake I leave in the camper should take care of the thieving bastards!... [emoticon]

Lots more pictures of mods and tweaks here:

I leave the TC at the airport for days at a time. I don't need any homeless people moving in!

Thanks for the kind words.......
