    how do I integrate a radio into the speaker system that is wired to the TV...

    Our 2011 BigHorn has a full compliment of speaker throughout the trailer, and the TV plays thru all of them. there are switches in the bedroom for turning the bedroom speakers on/off when desired... this trailer apparently never came equipped with an am/fm/cd player, but as we listen to music...

    Light switch mystery

    I dont know about that trailer, or the options it has, but in an attempt to give you a couple ideas until some one who knows chimes in, here goes... the unknown switch in the bathroom... if you have an automatic opening fan in the bathroom, it can take several seconds for it to start opening...

    Risky transport of fuel

    some of us have seen much worse... sometimes there just are no affordable options. if the containers are secured properly, the only real danger there as I see it, is if someone should feel the need to rear end the trailer, and cause the fuel to spill/fire. given that no one else is involved...

    maybe not as much as you or I think I do, but still, after nearly 6o years of having a lot of toys and tools at my disposal, but being so poor that I had to do all my own work, and being so poor that I couldnt even afford a mistake, Ive learned 2 things and a few tricks and shortcuts.... after...

    Air conditioner vibrating thru the ceiling

    additionally, be very careful about spraying the cooling fins with the water hose, as the pressure may bend them over, preventing any cooling effect in that spot. and its a real pain using a toothpick to straighten them out again... if you dont have a fin straightener tool.

    General, can you leave slide out all the time?

    the only concern with leaving them out in storage is that rodents or birds may deposit stuff on top of them, which then comes inside when the slide is retracted... or worse, the neighbor kids throwing their balls/toys, and accidentally getting one over the fence and up on the slide unit, which...

    Converter fan issue!

    if you only have 1 battery it will charge faster than two, but no matter how many amps your converter/charger is, the battery itself can only uptake so fast with out destroying itself, which is why the charger has to govern itself from what it senses from the battery.... the bulk charge mode...

    Inverter and 120 vac modification

    in your case, if you are tying into the AC power grid with an inverter, you really need a MANUAL transfer switch between the existing ATS and the distribution panel.... this will allow ALL incoming power from either shore or genset, to be positivley cut off when the switch is set to...

    Sagging storage compartment.

    it isnt going to come apart like it was put together, so you are gonna have to wing it and modify at times.... the floors are the second thing that gets installed after the tanks and such, and everything after is built upward from the floor...

    Air conditioner vibrating thru the ceiling

    hopefully it is only a piece of debris that has fallen into the fan and causing it to be out of balance... but if the circuit isnt allowing enough power thru to allow the motor to get out of start up mode, it will vibrate and rumble like crazy until you shut it off.... in addition, this...

    Sagging storage compartment.

    you only have 2 options.... tear it out and do a reconstruction on ALL the rotted wood... or just overlay it with 5/8" plywood sheeting and call it good until either something catastrophic happens or you decide to get it repaired as it should be... the tanks and every thing below is attached...

    City water connection

    the city water connection should be the one near the FW tank fill opening... the black tank flush should be the lower one. I think it should be standard that they be made of different colored plastic.... blue for city water, and black for tank flush, easy to identify....

    Where’s the sink cover?

    I agree with Cookie.... a polyethylene cutting board or very decorative piece of wood. it wont match the counter top, but it will serve double duty..... one side up as a sink cover, and the other side up as a cutting board.... the decorative sink covers are generally in the way, except for...

    Open Shelves in Bathroom

    im not sure about your trailer or where exactly the shelves are, but on every RV ive ever owned, i installed decorative fronts to the "open" shelves so that they could hold something.... but even in some of the vanity cabinets, where they are rather shallow behind the door, I will install the...

    Mice in Shelves

    my method for removing rodents has always been quick and absolute... I use d-Con poison, which after they eat a bit of it, causes them to leave by the same hole they came in.. then after a week or two, I search for, and plug all the holes to the exterior of the trailer so others cant get in...

    new suburban 3 burner cooktop and oven combo, burners appear normal flame but never boil a quart size pan of water

    the chart shown is not specific to any device, but its specific to water temps and elevation.... it makes no difference what the appliance is, or where you are in the world... water boils at a lower temperature at a higher elevation, which is why cooking times need to be adjusted when at...

    the atwood is fairly easy as well, but i would suggest you go online and search... atwood furnace repair manual .... as its more involved than the suburban brand, and harder to access the wiring and gas line... but the access for removal is from the interior intake grill.... and check the...
