I had the same problem on my Big Country 3450 the first fall we owned it. The problem was dirt and pine needles had accumulated on the lower outside corner of the slide. When I opened the slide I cleaned the accumulation of stuff that was keeping the lower corner of the slide from sealing. It...

I spent several hours under our unit after we took delivery sealing every small hole I could find. I used two tubes of black silicone caulk and two cans of expanding foam. I thought I sealed every hole until that fall when I found mice droppings. After several more hours under the coach I found...

We replaced our king with a Sleep Number. We bought the expanded queen and did not have to make any changes to the platform.

Here is the latest. I got fed up with my Dealer trying to fix the problem so I decided to dive into the issue myself. The issue only happens when running on propane(found out by accident when our park was having power issues). I removed the factory installed baffle and placed a small 100 volt...

We have had a Dometic 1350 fridge is our fifth wheel for two years. The issues we had at first were the door seals not seated in the grooves in the doors and the flap on the left door not snapping in place when the doos were closed. Once those issues were fixed we have had no other issues until...

We replaced the king in our Big Country with the sleep number expanded queen and we love it. It is like 4 inches narrower than the king and it is hardly noticeable.

My 12 gallon Suburban hot water on our 2011 Big Country 3450 is driving me crazy! The pressure valve is always leaking while it is heating. More times than not it will time out after 3 tries to ignite and I have to turn the switch off and on and it always fires up. So far we have made sure the...

We have a Sleep Number at Home(king) and in our Big Country(expanded queen). We thought the expanded queen may be too small because we have had a kind bed for 40 years but we are both fine with the size. We bought the bed for our RV on the internet from a close out sale that they were offering a...

Don't have access to the jumper wire-RV it is in a seasonal campground but I will try to remenber to post a picture in the spring. It is really a simple thing to make, Its the male end of an electrical cord with two flat blade connectors attached to the other end. To use it you unplug the 110v...

I have always done my own winterizing and questioned my dealer how to winterize the ice maker when we took delivery of our Big Country last year. They made me a jumper wire to use. It keeps the water valve open while I pump the antifreeze through the system. Once I get antifreeze out of the...

We replaced our king bed with a Select Comfort expanded queen. We found the quality lacking on the mattress that came in our Big Country 3250TS. We are Work Campers and live in our RV for 6 months and have a Select Comfort in our home.The mdf edge was a little rough on the legs if you were not...

We also got two sections . I bought a power head(with out a motor) at Home Depot and it works great on the carpet.

The dealer has taken it apart and claim they need a new part.

We have a 2011 Big Country 3450 and the fireplace fan will only run for 2 minutes and then shuts off. My dealer has told me that it needs a new part(don't remember what they called it) and they are waiting for the part for two other units as well. Anyone else having fireplace issues? It has been...

First full season with our Big Country 3450 and loving it! We have owned several travel trailers and they all had an air intake for the furnace inside the coach with some kind of filter. Most had a washable one like the AC uses. We seem to be having alot of dust in our coach after the furnace...
