Re: Suburban furnace trouble shooting SOLVED It was oil in the lines. I found some info online from a blog called RV Doctor. He said you had to throw out everything and replace (lines, regulator valve, etc.) On some sailboat blogs they discussed washing everything out with hot soapy water...

I've read some prior threads and a manual I have. I believe it may be a propane flow problem but I don't know how to test for that or clear the line. Some weeks ago the furnace was starting (fan blowing) without putting out heat. We would restart (thermostat off and back on) and it was fine...

My 2011 Bighorn that was destroyed a few weeks ago had no cracking of caulking on end caps, around skylights, etc. Our replacement 2012 has several leaks from rain and almost all of the caulking has failed. The newer unit came from AZ so perhaps the intense summer heat was harder or maybe...

My 2011 3610 RE and my recent replacement 2012 3670RL both have bronze colored bath sink faucets and pop up drains. However, the finish is almost completely gone off of the 3670RL and I cannot find a replacement! I can find one in chrome and I can find it in bronze without the popup mechanism...

Re: Bighorn Replaced! This is a final follow up note about what a great ending experience we had. The replacement Bighorn that we bought sight-unseen from Landon's RV in Mesa AZ arrived Wednesday a week ago. On the exterior it looked like it just rolled out of the factory! That is not an...

Re: Bighorn Destroyed--Update on replacement I looked intently for 3 days perusing hundreds of large 5th wheels for sale and found what appeared to be a great identical BH3610RE last Sunday. Unfortunately it was put under contract just hours earlier! I spent most of the next day again on the...

Ann, Thanks and yes please exchange contact info for me. My email is written in my post.

A tree in wet ground with strong winds fell on our car and our coach and totaled both. We were in the bed and it fell across the upper end--pretty frightening! We were not hurt but quite sad. Our BH 3610RE was absolutely perfect and will be hard to replace to find a similar used unit in...

With even a slight rain, the front basement has water puddled in the bottom and I have no idea where it is coming in. I know it is not sealed well (mice constantly get in there) but being tucked up under the front should give it protection from most rain leaks. If I emptied it and got in there...

Re: help with extended warranites--are they worth it! The extended warranties are pure and simply, a purchased insurance policy. I have worked in the past for insurance companies and I don't consider the extended warranties worth the paper that they are written on! We purchased a used 2011...

No place to set a glass of wine or cheese, etc., when entertaining that could be reached without having to get up out of your chair or off of the sofa, was a big short coming for us. I knew some of the later and larger models have a table and I initially thought of having one made but simple...

Re: Furnace blower not running properly My prior posts told of my problem and source I found for a motor. I also found a service manual (the gas people don't want you neophytes to have!!) and have submitted it for inclusion in the manuals. There is info on removing the furnace but not on how...

I am somewhat embarrassed to make this post but maybe someone else will learn from it. When we awoke in the morning and I heard water flowing, looking in the basement it was pouring out of the top of the water heater where the hose had turned loose. After shutting of the water, I turned one of...

Thanks guys. Yes, I have the tester and all the notes from prior trouble shooting/repair. Just surprised that both quit.

This is a quick post without a search. I previously had problems with both propane heating and electric. The propane needed the valve replaced and the electric needed a cut off switch replaced. Has worked great since. Last night, the fitting at the top of the water heater turned loose (you...
