The best way to determine a possible asking price for your unit is to do a little research to see what similar units are selling for (or what other sellers are ASKING...not necessarily the same thing). Your unit might fetch a better price in one geographic locale than in another. Even though...

We live in Ontario and purchased our 2014 Bighorn new in Minnesota. We made arrangements (by phone) with our insurance company here to cover the new trailer from delivery in Minnesota to our residence in Ontario and only needed the VIN off of the trailer and vehicle descriptors. There is other...

I remove the battery from the trailer for winter storage because we do not have access to A/C power where it is stored. Our tow vehicle is unused for 3-4 months over the winter and I used to keep a float charger hooked up to maintain the batteries. Now, I just make sure the batteries are fully...

I doubt that you have any leakage based on your description of where the moisture is forming. Condensation inside is common when the unit is "buttoned up" tight during cooler/cold weather use. If you are cooking inside, always run the exhaust fan and vent fans to vent moisture outside. Also...

Sometimes there can be some minor leakage of fluid. Check any fittings for signs of fluid staining. I had one hydraulic leg that developed a very minor leak right where the steel leg entered the housing. I suspect that at some time I picked up some sand or grit on the cylinder that got drawn...

Progressive Industries portable 50 Amp Electrical Management System, Model EMS-PT50X. This Unit was purchased new and used once. Like new condition. This is more than just a surge protector; it also protects against high or low voltage, reverse polarity in connection, open neutral, open...

Re: Mobile R service in Elkhart area I can't help with your original enquiry regarding service...but I couldn't help but notice that Illinois is the only one of the lower 48 states not marked on your your signature map. One more state and you can continue travelling while channelling Johnny...

Is a bowel flush the same as an enema?

Some time ago I replaced all the original lug nots on our BH with solid stainless nuts that I ordered on line thru Amazon, I believe. The originals had the chrome cover which either stripped or came off on a number of the lugs. The stainless were quite reasonable in price and still look good...

The weight that matters is your actual weight, not the rated weight. I tow a BH with a GVW of 14000lb using a 16K hitch with no problems, but I have had the rig weighed as loaded for the road, and we come in at about 13200 for the trailer, so I feel pretty comfortable with the 16K hitch. I...

Bill is right about having to turn off the propane while the unit is in transit on the ferry. You will have no access to the rig once you have boarded until departure from the ship. I would suggest depleting your refrigerator contents and planning on shopping once off the ferry. I know that...

You did well to have left the truck for six months and still get it to fire up. A lot of the newer trucks will draw down a battery in storage through phantom power draw thru onboard electrical (Clocks, computers, etc.) Your battery may have lost enough power during storage that it may not have...

If you are plumbed for a washer/dryer installation in the closet, the smaller vent is likely a vent for the washer drain. Drain pipes need to be vented to allow the water to drain properly.

I'm no electrician, but it sounds as if you might have an unfused line that is shorting out. Replacing the wire isn't fixing it, you will need to locate the short if there and repair/replace.

Is it possible that you may have mice in the unit? I had a short in my boat wiring (I know...not an RV) which frustrated me no end until I got things apart and located where the little critters had chewed through wiring insulation. Not much help in fixing the problem, but you do have sympathy...
