    Installing polyethylene flat strips to bottom edges of slides

    Interesting thread, I thought that I was the only one with exposed delaminating plywood on 3 of my 3600RE's 4 slides (the BR slide is factory sealed with angle aluminum). To that end I installed 1/16 X 1 1/2 angle on the 3 remaining slides (beveled the bottom front for the nylon rub strips) with...

    Inside Lights Going from Bright to Dim

    I think what you are seeing is normal. Every camper I have owned has done this to some extent. I cured the problem in the Bighorn by replacing all of the incandescent fixtures in the living area with 12 volt fluorescent fixtures.

    Dually Question???

    As long as you have the correct inflation chuck you will be okay. Buy one and carry it with you. I personally would not use an extender, too many horror stories.

    What hitch should I buy?

    I have the Airsafe Revolution 18K hitch. It is a 2 bag hitch which mounts on standard Reese bed rails. I love the hitch because of the huge amount of up and down travel it has, more travel = smoother ride. Another benefit is the reduced wear and tear on the truck and fiver, not to mention the...

    42" Olivea TV in the 3400RE

    We have not had any problems with our 42" Olevia. I also carry a 32" Olevia in the basement which I have had for several years and haven't had any problems with it either. They have both been over some very rough roads, especially I80 through Iowa and Illinois, and survived the beating. I would...

    Adding a refrig

    Finally got around to uploading the pics of the fridge. The shelf is covered with glued on carpet tile which helps keep things from sliding around.

    Current Bighorn Tire Brands

    Our 2009 would have come with Mission tires on it but we opted to upgrade to the Goodyear G614's. That was in March and as I recall the option was $600 at the time.

    electric awning out of wack

    Try extending the awning all the way and making sure it is centered on the roller, if not the arms will not align when closed. Just give the fabric a tug, easier if someone is holding the roller up, and center it back up.

    Bio Diesel?

    I've run B5 from my local Coop in my last 2 trucks since new and no problems.

    F350 SRW / 3912 Cyclone

    Breid, I would have a hand full with my TV pulling that 3912 with a GVWR of 18,000# and a dry hitch weight of almost 2900#. Make sure your TV tires can handle the weight, for example a LT235/85R16 load range E tire has a capacity of 3,042 pounds giving the axle a maximum capacity of 6,084...

    Brake light bulb ????

    Sounds as if the problem is vibration. Not cheap but you can always replace the factory lights with these http://www.doranmfgstore.com/ItemForm.aspx?item=%239103&ReturnUrl=Categories.aspx?Category=b32ac115-48a6-4af7-bfe5-1fe31e253c9b

    Adding a refrig

    Hi Clay, I have a refrigerator (it's made by Danby and holds a 30 pack) in mine and leave it turned on all the time with no problems. I built a 2 inch tall by 48 inch wide by 24 inch deep platform to set it on alongside my 32 inch flat screen. I will try to remember to take some pics this...

    Report on our first trip

    Glad to hear the first trip went well. These rigs really do tow great don't they?! As far as the sensors go, I don't even pay attention to mine any more because they are always wrong. I just dump everything periodically and ignore the lights:D
