    The couch is vinyl coating coating is coming off

    If it's "leather" then most folks simply junk the furniture piece and replace it w/ items from Lazy Boy. However, I think too that there is a place in Indiana that make RV specific furntitre and folks seem to like it. Someone else will chime in w/ the name.

    Spring air seat cushion

    Any ideas as to where I can get one? NAPA has it on their web site, but it's been discontinued. To be fair, I did look online and saw one for like 35 bucks and NAPA's was under 20.

    New water pump, water still going into fresh tank while in "City" position

    I installed a new water pump and while on most recent outing, left the fresh tank drain open just in case water still went into it. Sure enough it did, but not as bad. So at this point, my options are to turn the OE Anderson valve w/o pressure on it a few times OR just simply replace the OE...

    "length" vs "flexibility" with campsite restrictions

    From what I gather, most state and national parks were orig designed for RV's 35' and under. But as time moves on, the rigs have gotten longer and longer. Some campgrounds say they can accommodate large rigs, but large is debatable depending on which side of the phone your on. We've been lucky...

    2024 GMC

    BIL just got his new truck Fri. Beautiful "Cherry" red w/ 2 tone leather. Is a 3500 SRW, CC, 4x4, SRW, 6.6 gas and 3.73 gears fully loaded. Took a look at the data label and liked how GM put down the max weight of railers on it. Said it could tow a 18,000 gooseneck/5er and 16,000 TT. Combo of...

    Right legs "leak", left legs a no go

    Went to raise the left side of coach so I could grease things w/ the 2 left legs (6pt level up) and display said it was outta level so it wouldn't lower the legs any. Truck was attached. So I said, "let's do the right side then". Right legs went down w/ no problem EXCEPT after I got the wheels...

    New Leaf Springs

    Currently for single axle trailers. One thing one would have to be careful of is not exceeding 13'6" when road ready should one be developed for tandem axle trailers. Not so much for TT's but for 5ers. Then again, the tallest part of a 5er is more/less in the front where the truck is.

    Screen Door Protector

    Not sure what pegs you are talking about, but another mounting suggestion is to use velcro. I don't recall now, but w/ our previous RV, bought a screen door protector at Home Depot and want to say used small self tapping screws. Had no issues w/ it and stayed in place all the while we owned it

    Exterior propane connection for grill on Big Country

    Our 2018 BC 3560SS doesn't have one. I like using the 20# and gas grill and at time when we host a family BBQ, we use the 20# tank w/ a grill and dual "XX" btu burner for corn and salt potatoes. Just wish I could remember the Btu's of the stinking' burners. grrrrr.......

    LCI Solid Steps

    Do you have them now or plan to order? IMO, take a look at Torq-Lift steps. Even tho we have the folding steps, they make one that folds up somehow on the inside of coach and better built.

    Extend/retract button by trailer hitch

    Pretty much. Raises or lowers the hitch onto or above the ball depending on what your doing. Replaces the crank handle which some or many still utilize.

    Extend/retract button by trailer hitch

    If by ball area on a travel trailer, then it raises or lowers the hitch to go over ball on truck. If a 5th wheel, it controls the front legs.

    Well, I'll chime in and others may too. I just use the tank fill for on board tank after putting 1c of reg Clorox non perfume scented bleach down the RV's water hose(s) and then continue to fill tank til full. Then as you mentioned, turn on pump and run water into the hot water tank (fill up)...

    Intermittent Lippert Level-Up operation

    dudkas, looks like you have way too many items on one breaker if that is a breaker. Our rig is still in storage for another week or so, but we switched out the hyd breaker to a 80A and a 4-8ga wire (don't recall offhand) direct from the battery to it. Only thing on this breaker is the hyd...

RV is still in storage, but will probly be home within week or so. Figure before it rains and if the stuff I used isn't up to snuff and...

    Height from ground to bottom of Rear Hydraulic Jacks when retracted

    Why not just make some blocks and toss 'em in back of truck, then place them under the jacks before lowering them? That's what we do. But we also have 2 6x6x 18" or 24" blocks in addition to 2-2x12x18" screwed together for a total of 8 blocks. This way we can place them under any legs that need...

    Landing legs & 6 pt level support rig w/o tires

    Question. I asked about new tires for our Big Country and later thought of another question. yes, I've used the 2 hyd cyl on one side to lift the coach to grease things or to remove a wheel w/o a problem. Truck was attached to coach at same time. Now can I raise the whole coach w/o the truck...
