    Better schwinteck?

    Was reading on another RV forum where a poster had an issue w/ their Schwinteck. A reply came back about another style of gear driven device called: Vroom Slide System. Fella posted a YouTube where he had a GD unit w/ a Schwinteck and he had probs w/ it and found the Vroom device whom the...

    I'd do what he said but if you can't, cover the rig so rain cannot get onto slide

    Roof to sidewall sealant

    A couple years ago, I removed all the factory roof to sidewall sealant cuz parts were already "flaking/coming off" which IMO should not have been the case being it was 2-3 years old at the time. Used a product from RV dealer I've used since '05 and think it was Dicor roof/sidewall sealant or...

    Radio remote control replacement

    Haven't a clue, but the remote for the Furrion radio in our 5er is AWOL. Do I contact HL w/ last 6 of VIN for a replacement or Lippert/Furrion directly?

    New User Guide - Fresh Water Tank Fills by Itself

    I noticed over this past w/e that water was going into the fresh tank even tho we were on city connection. Only way I was aware of it was because the fresh tank valve was open to drain it. Figured it best to keep it open and go from. there. Now my question is, can I winterize the system w/o...

    Musty odor in bathroom

    Guess I forgot that I did change the valve under bathroom sink to the Studor last year or so as I was going to do it today and saw that I already did. CRS!! Anyways, we still get the musty odor after shower use and don't see any water leaks.

    Kitchen sink mounting

    What kind of glue did you use and where did you get it? I ordered the clamps you mentioned and they came today. Now just to glue them as you said. I have a couple days before we head back out with it. Thanks.

    Musty odor in bathroom

    jimcat, we have the same valve (black one pictured) under the kitchen sink. No probs w/ that one. Looking at Lowes website, they show the same one for <$9 bucks and the Studor is $27 bucks. Was at 1 Lowes today and they didn't have any, so going to another one tmrw as I have to p/u something...

    RV Insurance

    Another vote for Progressive. Have had them since '05. Better coverage and still cheaper even if added to car/home policy w/ another company.

    Kitchen sink mounting

    What's the best way to "add" more hardware to the smaller of the 2 kitchen sinks in our 2560SS? Seems that whatever HL used isn't holding the sink tight to under the counter and caulking isn't keeping a tight seal either.

    2016 big horn 3160 - gray water plumbing fracture crack options

    Not to mention that once you cut it off, pipes area whole lot shorter now, so the rubber boots may be just the trick.

    What are these hoses for? 33RETS

    As cookie said, they are low drain points that you open at end of season to drain any excess water. Then close them up before adding anti-freeze. The other blue line is exactly what cookie called it, fresh tank dump to do what it says. Again at end of season, or whenever you don't need to carry...

    How wide are the slideouts? Slideout Width for 33RETS

    What make and model of coach? All are different depending on what's in the slide.. Most coaches are either 98" or 102" wide outside to outside with slides in. So if you could tell us what you're looking at, then someone can chime in w/ the exact slide width's for that coach.

    raising a 5th wheel - newbie

    Are you planning on keeping the RV here in 1 place for a very long time? If so, I'd go w/ the suggestion of a mobile home company to come and lift it off the ground and put cement blocks or as some said make/place wood under the frame.

    It is with sadness that we sell our truck and RV

    Have done a great deal of back and forth on things, and we've decided to sell our '17 F350 DRW (45,000 miles) and '18 Big Country 3560SS. Due to me having 2 left thumbs, not sure how to post pics, but if anyone is interested, PM me your e-mail and will go from there. Truck is white 4dr, 4x4, XLT...

    Trailer brakes disconnecting

    Also double check the wiring on top of the axles as well starting at where the power for the brakes 1st comes to the axle. Have heard where this can cause power not to flow thru to rest of the brakes thus towing the message.

    Keeping the drawers closed

    Knock on wood, for the most part we don't have a problem. However, in the pantry, we have 3 drawers behind a door and the top one has a mind of it's own on opening up when under way. To solve this, took a swim noodle and made a "C" shape out of it, and placed it "C" side down in the gap between...

My 2 water hoses that are onboard of coach is what I attach to house/RV during sanitizing process. We are also fortunate enough that we have city water cuz the process calls for 120 gallons total...

    Quality of workmanship by Heartland

    Sadly, it's across the entire RV spectrum of mfr's. When Alliance was announced, it was thought with high hopes that this mfr (not owned by Thor or FR), was going to have very high quality standards and emphasis on customer service. Well after being in business just a couple years, they too are...

    Are my dump valves mislabeled?

    Another thought for you is to spray WD40 onto the metal rod that's exposed from "T" handle to the coach. At least this is what I do as it was suggested to me many years ago, so I keep a can w/ flip up tube next to docking station and do it each time I dump the tanks. Spray it just before...

    Anyone having issues with their roof A/C?

    Keep calling HL, be polite (I know this may be hard w/ a brand new rig), have VIN # ready and tell home what's going on and have a big trip planned. Ask them too if they can arrange to have a mobile mechanic look at/fix it while on the road? What brand of A/C? Does the fan work on it...
