    Awning tie downs

    I have a 2015 BH with power awning. It does NOT have the wind detection feature that would retract it in high as winds. I secure both ends with ratchet straps OVER THE MAIN TUBE. I have bungee cords at the bottom of each strap attached to anchors sunk in the ground to give it some give. I...

    Shock lost parts

    I did think about that. These are more like struts with studs on either end. A bit different than automotive shockd. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Shock lost parts

    So while nosing around doing some "fix n repair" while camped between Austin and San Antone, I noticed the rear shock on door side had lost the nut and all the bushings, etc. I'm assuming it's a Lippert item, and have found an entire shock assembly on Amazon for around $35. Question is, can...

    We will most likely stay put here at least another week and possibly until after the new year. We're always looking for good eateries to try. How far away are you? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Had some minor paint flaking along the edge of my kingpin cover. $9.75 with Amazon Prime and about 15 minutes of work. I like it! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Heading to Goshen with a layover in Dearborn MI.

    If you decide to camp up in Birch Run, then you might want to check on the Church Grove campground in Frankenmuth. Stay there often and it's rarely full. 30A and water at most sites. It is actually a repurposed church Grove so sites are laid out a bit odd, but very roomy. Eldon the caretaker...

    Water inlet valve on Frigidaire Gallery

    I have to test/replace the water inlet valve on my frig that is in the slide on my 2015 3875FB Bighorn. I've already done the easier things to troubleshoot the no ice problem and now suspect the inlet valve assy. The question I have after snooping around is it appears that on my model there...

    Re: verizon mifi users... Just an update. Went in and talked with VZ and for no charge they swapped out the SIM card which seems to have made the difference. They also told me NOT to tether to phones for streaming large files and videos as it will eventually kill the phones. Didn't know...

    Like Snoking said I'd call Banks. I dealt with Nick who was very helpful. The brake mounts at the end of the first section of exhaust pipe off the turbo downpipe. It has a 4 bolt flange connection, so there may be an intermediate pipe that comes to make the transition from your system. Banks...
