    Awning supports

    I designed brackets out of aluminum. Clamp brackets (fit loose) over ends of awning roller. Buy 2 - 10' lengths of 3/4" threaded pipe and screw one end into the bracket. Cut the other end 2" above the ground, drill a 5/16" hole 1" from end and bolt to feet. Either lag feed to patio or if on...

    Goshen rally wash & wax

    I had mine done at the rally and couldn't be happier. It was a wash and wax that they offered me, not a new trailer. They gave my RV a good wash and wax.

    Gas struts on cargo doors

    We have a 2013 Big Country 3450TS. While at the Goshen rally I bought a couple of struts for the large cargo door. They gave me 80# struts at the parts and service area. I glued 2 pieces of 3/16 aluminum to the interior of the door to attach the struts to but when I go to close the door the...

    Front A/C thermostat location

    I contacted Heartland and it is located to the left of mirrored closet doors. It Is located above the Small shelf. I drilled a 1" hole from inside the closet first to make sure the wire was there and then drilled from bedroom side. Everything looks and works great.

    dometic thermostat

    This is how I connected a Honeywell programable thermostat to my furnace. Since I only wanted to program my heating and not my cooling, I disconnected the two thermostat wires from my AC to my furnace. I simply cut the two blue wires near the furnace, and put a marr connecter on each AC wire to...

    dometic thermostat

    If you use a programable to run the furnace only, use a thermostat with batteries and connect to the thermostat wires on the furnace. All you are doing is closing a switch on the thermostat to run the furnace. Voltage doesn't matter when you wire this way. Let me know if you need detailed...

    Installed Programable thermostat on Big Country

    I have a digital Dometic thermostat and a Dometic AC with a Suburban furnace. I wanted to program the furnace so I could sleep cool and wake up warm, but Dometic said it couldn't be done. Since I didn't want to program the cooling, I left the Dometic connected to the AC but disconnected the blue...

    Hooking to 5th wheel with a crew cab

    I have a folding tonneau cover on my crew cab truck and can't see the hitch when backing up. I used to remove the tonneau cover to hook up, but got a brain wave. I attach a magnetic pick up tool to the front of 5th wheel plate and extend the tool enough to see it over the tonneau cover. It has...

    What fasteners to use to mount 1x2s to inside walls?

    I have used a construction adhesive for this, but a word of caution. Do not change your mind and try to remove, but a lot stronger than screws in a thin wall.
