    2 issues with macerator and black water density - 2017 Big Horn 3160

    We are serious boondockers also... today marks exactly 3 weeks for us into our 40 gallon black tank. I'll macerate the black and both greys probably Tuesday. The black definitely gets a heavy consistency when we're being frugal with #1s outside a lot. I place the honey tank in the back of our...

    Garage a/c heat strip?

    After mounting the Cat itself, I marked the floor to drill directly below the gas fitting...this allowed the yellow flexible pipe to come straight up to the heater. Then removed the Cat for drilling room. Measured the smallest end coupling of the flexible pipe and used the next larger wood bit...

    Garage a/c heat strip?

    I'll check for my archived photos. I do have some of underneath install. I thought you just wanted more of the Cat itself. I fudged ours lower than instructions because of the window, but the rug underneath barely heats up anyway, so all is good there. For now an install description: Our CY had...

    Garage a/c heat strip?

    I may have original photos...will have to look. I can take more photos of it, but it is exactly in the same place as when I installed it then, so what are you needing to see differently?

    Fuel tank pressure equalization

    After filling our 2017 CY tanks, I tighten the caps until clicking, then loosen them 3/4 turn to the "stop". If I don't back them off 3/4 turn, the tanks build up heat soak pressure.....when backed off, the pressure vents A-OK.

    F287 second AC unit

    I did a little digging and found a 2022 Fuel 287 FS. Reading thru it, it lists your 15K ducted AC, and also states prewired for a second AC, just for your FWIW installing your second one. We factory ordered our 44+' CY with 3 ACs, but we only use 1 of them 5% of the time....so I made the same...

    Cyclone 3600 inverter?

    I've been using the Charge Wizard on our 80A converter for 4 years. All it takes is a press of the button to bulk charge. When the CW is manually selected for bulk charge, it does so ~4 hours. The converter then drops back to it's specified automatic charging rate. If your batteries still need...

    back flushed big horn 3160 any nothing came out

    That addendum helps....sounds now like you added more water for xx minutes thru the factory flushing port to flush the black tank, yet didn't get anymore out? If so: The flush anti-siphon may have been installed backwards and is the reason. Without a flow meter, you are EXPECTING the water...

    Fluids cannot just drain thru the macerator when it's off....you always have to energize it for fluids to drain past it.

    Both of our 2017 CY doors are also cracked/checked/crazed from being open while full-time boondocking in the SoCal/Az sun.... getting to the point that I have to repair this summer while back in Oregon. I was in deliberations as to what material to use that will be a one-time repair to look...

    What's this wire for?

    Our camera was already wired to 12V hot at one of the 5 breakers with the common buss bar. The wire was a not incorporated in a wire loom, but resembled an add-on single wire. It had a red enclosed fuse holder that didn't have a fuse ....it was very obvious, so open all your single fuse holders...

    What's this wire for?

    That tied up wire and fuse looks to be the same as when we received our 2017 CY from the factory. It was for the external solar panels plug. Follow the wire to see if you can ascertain such. It was heavy gauge wires, so made sense to carry a heavy 12V load. Our Furrion camera wiring was all...

    Anyone have pictures and/or measurements of 3 season door to door frame? 2020 Cyclone

    If you run into problems finding such, I replaced our yucky/wrinkled/crappy/weather-checked plastic panels with lightweight tinted acrylic panels. They attach at the 4 corners with 4 more 1" long Velcro strips along the sides, and are easily removable for air-flow.

    Slide out water damage

    Our 2017 CY bedroom slide had the same thing happen. I repaired it without removing the slide easily by re-gluing both bad sides, then attached an aluminum plate under the entire floor with new lower trim pieces and sealed them up. Was an easy project....just took time for the glue to setup.

    2012 Road warrior 305rw fuel station and pump

    If the above suggestion isn't the issue, then pull the cover off of the motor/pump, as the internal pump rotors can swell width-wise so much, they can seize up. Use sandpaper on a smooth surface and narrow them up, reinstall and see if that helps. There are a few older threads here to search...

    How to turn on yeti package

    The black Yeti marked switch is for 12 volt heating cable on fresh tank water line. The switch you're questioning is for 120 volt tank heating pads. Make sure you have a few gallons of liquid in all black and gray tanks before turning on, otherwise the pads can melt thru the plastic tank bottoms.
