    No power to multiple outlets. Resolved.

    Re: No power to multiple outlets I would like to suggest that you do a through test/check of the neutral circuit. This summer while on a trek to Alaska, we had a similar electrical problem. I found the neutral contact lug nut on the main relay burnt. We were miles from nowhere in northern...

    Inverter Power sometimes Trips GFI

    I had an pure sinewave inverter & solar panel/regulator installed on our last rig. Also installed was an automatic switch-over relay to isolate the electrical sources. (shore power, generator, inverter) Even with all that safety I still had to pull (de-energize) the circuit breakers for the...

    Leaking water in underbelly

    We had a huge nightmare with water leaks. Virtually every water connection throughout the unit (hot and cold) were not even hand tight. The drains (sinks and shower) had no seals installed and were all loose. All connections leaking. Took me nearly two days to find these connections and tighten...

    Battery Goes dead over night

    Hi - welcome. You didn't mention whether you were plugged into a 120vac power source. If you are plugged in there is an output from your converter that will trickle charge your battery (batteries). If that's the case & you are plugged in, then you might want to check your converter circuit...

    Use of 303 Protectant in Lieu of Wax

    I've been using 303 over the past five years and am very pleased with the results. I too found that less is best.

    Plumbing nightmare

    Well, after a little more than two years with about 7000 miles on the unit, the kitchen sink (dual) dropped out of its mounting. Thank goodness the drain pipes were strong enough to hold the sink from completely falling as it was empty. Here's what I found. The sink was held in place by silicon...

    New Bighorn

    Something doesn't seem right here. I've never seen an "HEHR" window, installed by Heartland, with the window screws installed from the outside. If your unit came that way, I would suspect that the windows are not original and not sealed correctly.

    Exterior Wall Crack

    To me, that crack looks like there's a serious problem with frame welding/assembly. You will have to remove the panelling underneath the overhang as I don't think you be able to see much of the frame from the forward storage compartment. Repairing that crack in the gelcoat/fiberglass will also...

    Caulking the gutter where two sections meet

    Here's what I did. Cleaned the inside and outside of the gutter with white gas (Coleman fuel). Took a small piece of wax paper and put it over the gap on the outside, holding it in place with masking tape. Using a small amount of white self leveling sealing caulking on the inside of the gutter...

    BH 3670 Radius Roof Edges Popping Up?

    Had a look at mine this afternoon. The corners appear to be what I would consider normal. Not bubbled up like your pictures indicate. Mind you, I'm sitting here north of the Canada/USA border and the temp. is around 57*F.

    Wheel bearings and seals

    We have a 09 - BH3370 as well and had the bearings cleaned in a hot tank, inspected (they were ok) and repacked with "Pro-Ma" grease. I replaced the bearing grease seals using Raybestos #761-5605.

    More on Mor/Ryde..

    The grease would not go through 3 of the grease fittings until I took the complete trailer weight off of the suspension system, using a hand held grease gun. I'm using "Pro-Ma" grease which was designed to be used in the gold mines of Australia, in the conveyor belt bearings that are moving 24/7...

    positioning jack under a Big Horn 3185RL

    I would never, ever work near or under a vehicle that is not supported to the fullest degree possible. What would happen if a landing gear leg broke, collapsed or the jack malfunctioned while having the unit supported with just an axle? Safety first is your first concern. My TV would...
