We learned this lesson the very hard, expensive way. Bought our 2019 42 ft Bighorn new. Minding the tires was a habit from the beginning. Visually, they were very good. Then one morning one of them blew beneath a 13 ft kitchen slide. Tore out an extensive wiring harness, ripped off the wheel...

Thank you. That's my inclination, as well. We have been rolling daily since this discovery and dealing with manually rolling up the cord in the morning. Not something I would wish on anyone for very long. But we are going to be parked over the holiday weekend. Will have some time to dig into...

Thanks for your reply. Sounds like I have the same general type as you. Manual pull- power rollup. Yes, it's the same as the original- a Southwire RL54. The connections from the the source power to the switch and switch to the motor are solid. And the fact that it rolled up just fine when...

Have confirmed good voltage through the switch (on the wires to the motor) when the switch is pressed. Odd thing is (to me), it is the switch that clicks when I let go, not the motor. This is a single position spring-loaded switch. It doesn't have separate Retract and Release positions. Seems...

I just had to have the cord reel replaced on my 2019 42 ft Bighorn a couple weeks ago. Rolled up the cord fine when leaving the service shop. Been parked since then. Discovered this afternoon that the reel isn't working. Nothing from the motor. However, when I release the switch, it clicks...

Agreed on all counts. We're in a 42' 2019 Bighorn 3925MLP.

I tend to agree with you. That's why I was curious as I take note of units with dual fireplaces. Never expected they would be on single circuit. But- the alternative would mean additional panel space which may not be available. If your 120V panel is full as mine is in my Bighorn, there wouldn't...

Makes sense, then. One breaker/circuit (15 amp?) Could not support both fireplaces each pulling 10+ amps. So they are apparently wired for mutually exclusive operation. Interesting to know. Wonder if that's typical for all RVs with two fireplaces... (as opposed to separate circuits)

Don't know if you have resolved your question by now or not. I'm curious- is the RV 30 or 50 amp? Do you control the fireplaces via individual front-panel switches (or a pocket-size remote control), or via some common control panel? How many 120V breakers are labelled for Fireplace (I'm guessing...

Glad to read that you found the source of your problem. Good luck with the repair. I, too, have the issue of the bed slide lights flickering when my phone is plugged into the USB port next to the bed. Have stopped using those ports. Wasn't always the case- recent development. It's a very slow...

I have just lost a 3-year-old battery in a way I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered. These batteries were just routinely inspected and topped off (with barely any water addition needed anywhere) in September. Yesterday a power issue was traced to dead batteries. One of them had a cell...

This is not something I had previously done so finally got a chance yesterday. Disconnected cold PEX at kitchen sink and at Andersen Valve city water output port. Blew out with up to 40 PSI from kitchen end. Poured the water it blew out through a fine strainer and saw nothing but clean, clear...

I didn't mention the screens, but I have checked the shower and the kitchen sink screens. Clean. There is no accumulator tank installed (though I've long considered it). I believe that your theory of downstream plumbing is OK and the problem is very early in the system is spot on. When this...

Thanks, Bill. I have begun to consider some form of air pressure.

I have been fighting the proverbial water flow problem for several months and am finally crying uncle. I do understand the difference in issues of pressure vs. flow rate. My pressure regulator at the spigot (the good Valterra unit with gauge- not the cheap one) will read over 80 PSI currently...
