New to RVing, seeking advice

[TravelinPI]

We are new to RVing and will be hitting the road full timing in May in our new Bighorn 3010RE. We were hoping some of you experienced RVers could answer a couple questions for us:

1. We love to cook and were looking to get ideas for the best grill to use on the road.
2. Any recommendations for the best TV/satellite/dish system?
3. How do you measure height of RV when hooked up and with dish or anything else on the top?
4. Does anyone use (or is there even a need) to consider an alarm security system for the 5th wheel when you are gone for the day and is there any need to lock up the whole 5th wheel somehow so no one takes the whole RV when you are out for the day?

Thanks a lot

welcome and congrats. you are new to this, and now going full time.
we have friends with same couch as yours, it is a beautiful unit.
we have the small weber and it is great. we use it for everything. we even use it as an oven.
what truck do you have?

1. Weber Q series
2. I have Direct TV non HD. Quick, simple dish manual alaignment
3. I used a tape measure drop down from the side of the RV and then add anything that adds height from that point
4. NO

1. Weber Q series
2. Like asking who makes the best truck. Lots of personal preferences.
Dish you can get HD with a portable dome
Direct has better sports packages if that is your thing
3. Figure at least 13 feet
4. No

BTW, please no duplicate posts, that is against forum rules
