On the road and want to check torque on my BC ( just had new tires installed). Off hand does anyone know what size the lug nuts are? Need to buy the socket and my first crack at it was way off ( too large). Toolkit I have with me only goes to 3/4", and my spark plug socket at 13/16 is still...

As usual, your help is very good. detailed, and very appreciated. Thank you. It sounds like the issue as I drained a lot out of the fresh water tank, the overflow stops for a while, only to start again later. I have been using the "City" connection when at the park. I understand the...

Should this be normal for Fresh Water at 2/3 full? Both sides draining for quite a while. Thanks for fast reply

On a 2015 BC, I have two small 90 degree cream colored drains, one on each side, about 1/4 inch diameter soming through the frame. On one side its above the tires, and the other it's slightly to the rear of the tires. Does anyone know where these drains are from? What to they drain? Rained...

Yes, I discovered this was true myself. Then my dealer had the gall to tell me I had bad batteries and needed replacement. They couldn't tell what or who the manufacturer was! Then, when they installed the new batteries, they miswired the coach! Thanks to danmeyer, I was able to get the...

We have sold our home in California and are moving to South Dakota. Does anyone have any experience of being on the road in cold weather with a BC? I have found videos on Youtube, but most were parked in one location, while we will be making our way on the road. Of most concern is preventing...

I am getting ready to register my Big Country in South Dakota. I have been told I need the "Unloaded Vehicle Weight" documentation. Short of emptying it out and weighing it, how can I get this documentation? By that I mean something acceptable to the State of South Dakota. Any help would be...

Thanks everyone!

Am looking to add a satellite system to our Rig. Currently is a 2015 BC3750 with connectors in the Side of RV. Found the 2 connectors for Front and bedroom. I have found the alternate connector in the Living area, but am uncertain how to "switch" the wiring from "Park Cable/Antenna" to...

Thanks, Dan! Lots of help, as usual. That was exactly why I wanted to ask. I didn't want to hide bigger problems.

I have the Lippert 6 point leveler. Had problems with it stalling and starting. Dealer said it was wired to the wrong sized breaker ( 30 amp) and was tripping and resetting. Makes sense. But what they did was install a new 80AMP Marine Breaker. I find it hard to believe that Heartland did...

Re: Battery not charging/ no 12v when off Shore power SOLVED: Dan and all - Once I got back home and didn't need to worry about a refrigerator keeping cool, I started exploring with a voltmeter at the buss bar. What I discovered and later tested/verified, was that the dealer had put the DC...

I have the Lippert 6 point levelers on my BC and I believe I am low on hydraulic fluid. Have read the documentation I found here online ( nothing provided by dealer). It says ask the manufacturer for the type of fluid used but I wanted to check here first. From reading the forum, I believe it...

Re: Battery not charging/ no 12v when off Shore power Thanks, Dan. After reviewing the drawing and taking another look at the basement, it appears I have a line from the converter to the batteries, and that's why I do have 12v when on shore power. But if you look at my attached photo ( in...

Re: Battery not charging/ no 12v when off Shore power Thanks, Dan. I'll study your drawings a bit. All 12v works well when on shore power, but nothing inside works when NOT of shore power. Not even the tank level indicators. - - - Updated - - - Bill - Thanks for the tips. I have a basic...
