    Bedroom slide leaks when it rains

    Our 2017 Big Country 5th Wheel leaks when it rains. How in the world do you replace the seal around the slide out without taking the whole slide right out of the trailer? We have tried replacing the seal and it still leaks. We caulked the window, so that is not the issue. HELP!

    Nut that holds shade to light over top of island

    Judy, they take normal sized shades, and I noticed that Home Depot had replacement shades that would work. I used smoked glass bell shaped shades and John put an extra bigger washer in to make sure it is held up. I actually like these shades better than the old ones!

    Nut that holds shade to light over top of island

    Oh Dane, I have tried! There are not any that are that size. I picked up two different ones hoping that I had it covered, but neither one worked. :(

    Nut that holds shade to light over top of island

    I am looking for the round part that screws onto the socket to hold a shade up on my over the island light. Mine disappeared while trying to find a new shade! Does anyone know where to get one? Thanks

    What did you do to your camper today?

    We have made 2 improvements in our Big Country. The bathroom sink had a clear glass sink with about a 2" drain connection. This broke off last year, too much sway movement when travelling snapped it off. This new sink from Home Depot has a much wider base, so no sway, plus is not see thru so no...

    Anderson 4 way switch

    When switch is positioned on city water, it by passes and fills the fresh water tank. In reading our manual here we thought it was possible that the Shur-Flo water pump was defective in that the check valve was not closing. We purchased a new pump and installed and it made no difference. When...

    2015 Big Country storage of stove covers and sink covers

    John got so frustrated with the removable covers on the sink and stove and where to put them when not in use. So he made these "holders" to keep them in place when not in use! What a handy guy!!!!!

    What did you do to your camper today?

    John put a switch in the bathroom beside the light switches to operate the overhead fan. Eliminates having to turn the fan on at the fan itself. Then he pulled the carpet off the stairs and landing and put laminate on the stairs and the used the vinyl that was under the carpet as the flooring...

    Flooring

    Our 2015 Big Country 3450 had carpet on the stairs and the landing. It had started to ripple so we took it out and used laminate on the stairs and made use of the vinyl on the landing that was under the carpet. Wow! What a clean finish this is now! Plan on doing under the table and in living...

    underbelly

    Well I just called Customer Service at Heartland and they told me that the tank was ordered March 1st! Very interesting! Since we brought it in on January 12 for them to assess, this is ridiculous! BUT we need this work done in a timely fashion, so it is not a great idea on our part to...
