Search= Tim K's tent in the vent.

Level the tripod, set the tilt, set the elevation, Sweep the dish until you get a signal. I dont use those meters. Wife hollers out the window to the % of signal. Last week setting up twice I I eye balled the neighbors and guessed on the az. Got 75-80% right off the bat. Did some tweeking and...

Yep, that was what I was doing. Mine work great just thought I could improve. If it aint broke, dont fix it.

Fridge in a slide with a topper. Baffle mounted just to the front lower edge of the cooling condenser with a clip, barely touching. Camper next to us said there milk freezes on high at 5000 ft. but wont at 9000. Figured it was lack of OX but can not figure out why it cools better without the...

Installed baffle mod in my 1350 fridge at home. It ran on AC and gas equally for two days. Outside temps in the upper 90's. Fridge stayed at 33*. Took our trailer to a boon dock park at aprox. 9000 feet with outside temps in the high 70's. Running on gas only the temp climbed to 40* and the fans...

Wow! 6 years to wake up this sleepy section! I wondered why it was still here. Dishwashers may now become the next trend.

We took two of our chairs out too. We even ordered an extra chair for the computer area that didnt seem to work out. Now we have 3 chairs in storage. We all should get together and have one giant chair sale. (or maybe Heartland would like to buy 'em back)

I think the Landmark guys have wall switches for their fan which make changing out the switch a simple job. Ours is still the push button deal in the fan.

We have always called DTV and changed our service address when we get to AZ. They just change the zip code and we get their locals (not DNS) with no charge at all. When we get back to CO we just change the service address to get the CO locals back. They never seem to have a problem with that...

Thats cool! Pun intended.

Ours works well and we like it but where we stay the water is hardly fit to even shower in so we dont use it. Where I get my beer they give you a free bag of ice with every 30 pack. We are always giving ice away.

In my trailer I have found that the satellite TV cable is white and the cable TV cable is black.

I would rather fix things my self than drag the unit to a dealer that has it for two to three weeks and you get it home and find out it isnt any better. You will find great fixes on this forum like this fridge mod and TimK's A/C tent in the vent that was figured out by owners long before the...

Got real leather in the house and fake leather in the BH. House leather is more comfortable but when it comes down to it I dont like either one. Give me good old fashion cloth any time.

We sold out Snowriver TC a few years ago. Now our summer camping has changed since we lost our seasonal site in WY. I am black and blue from kicking my self. TC's serve a purpose that no other RV can fill.

Yep, me too. I believe in the K.I.S.S. system.

Is this what you are looking for? Screen Door Opener

It is amazing how well this mod works. I see posts on the other forum about a 2nd A/C and bring this up with a link to here and it seems to fall on deaf ears. I did it on both trailers (worked a little better on our 3055 being shorter with less vents). Going to block off the last vents when I...

Option? It should be standard. Any place a wall hugger should used is in a trailer. And the rocker and swivel deal is pretty well useless and has caused an "accident" or two.

I guess if it still cools in the 30's I will presume it is gelled. Cant try my baffle and fan mod because the spot in WY we were going to is on fire and we had to cancel our trip.

How can you tell if this "transfer gel" is installed? Ours will stay in the 30's but with temps in the 3 digits lately I installed the baffle and the inside fan but never got a chance to try it yet.

Tried to run a second cable to the LR. They way the cable are run it looked impossible to get another up there. I just bought one of these kits and will rig it up in the UDC so I can use my old LNB when we boon dock and have to run the inverter to watch TV. For $35 it isnt worth the hassle of...

Exact same thing happened to me. We did our own PDI at the dealer and I found that the LR Sat did not work. Found a bad connector. Summoned the dealer and told him about. Said they would have to take pictures and email them to Heartland to see if the would pay to fix it. Huh?! I said I would do...

You need two cables to run a DirecTV DVR unless you do the fancy stuff listed in the prior posts. Only one if you just want to watch regular TV or have DISH.

Just learned (new tech is a daily basis) that you can change the LNB and not use the SWM switch. Next concern is when I boon dock I will be running the inverter to power the insterter. Will it take much power, if so I might be better off running another cable.

I see prices all over the board on the SWM switch and power inverters. Any suggestions here?

:confused: SWM set up? Guess I will do some searching on that. Was also going to to the through the window deal but figured if it was easy enough I would just run it under.

Anyone run and extra cable for a DVR to the receiver area of a rear entertainment model? Easy to run the second cable where it enters the trailer after you remove some of the bottom covering? Hate having my RV in storage and having only 48 hours street time to work on it, have to have all my...

When we spend 3 month in AZ and when we get down there we call Direct and tell them we moved and give them our AZ address and then our locals are the AZ locals (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and what ever independents they have) No $15 a month charge for DNS. When we get back to CO we call and tell 'em we...

All four of mine were greasy. Never had brakes since we bought the trailer and I never greased it. We (indy trailer repairer) CLEANED the brakes and magnets along with the other components with aerosol brake cleaner. Set the controller to high and it will give you whip lash when you apply the...

The cabinet in our old "06" 3055 did not come out as far as the newer models. Maybe the factory has them in the parts dept and you can replace it with one of those.

I removed mine just after we bought the 3610. Doesn't work well with the FloJet sewer pump when I use it. Problem is when it was designed to work with our model the outlet is now sitting just under the slide which is some what inconvenient when they are out. Trying to figure out a way of re...

After doing some studying if venting is that important why doesn't the fridge manufactures build venting into the back of the refrigerators? It would be so simple to make a sheet metal vent that would work on all fridges no matter the location when it was not installed. From the looks of the...

:confused: Went to the lot to look at my fridge to prepare for the baffle that I have seen installed in other posts. All the diagrams show the fans about mid way between the two outside vents. My fans are located no more than 2-3 inches below the top vent and not too far under the condenser. The...

Just started reading this thread. Going to be boon docking this summer for the first time with this trailer. Can you just manually shut the fridge down and turn it back on a 11:00 AM or do you have to disconnect the battery momentarily.

Ours came with them also. Had two doors have the hinges come off. They pulled the plastic mollys out of the door. I had to use some Liquid Nails glue to keep them in.

I just broke my third infamous brown closet door latch. We only use them when we travel and just slide the doors to the opposite side when we are parked so you know they don't get used much. I was going to replace them and saw a post what some folks used but darned if I can find it.

He he! Last time I went to a race was in Vegas. Spent a months S.S. check. Could have seen more on TV and had cheaper beer. Guess I haven't figured out how to do it.

http://www.eureka.com/en-US/Vacuums/Accessories/Attachments/Accessories-Attachments-TurboNozzles-PetPowerPaw-62550D.aspx We got one from Eureka, its the same size as an upholstery attachment. It is powered by the air vacuum and it stops rotating so much that my wife quit using it. She just uses...

Ours has been leak free (knocking on wood) However, we only hook on to it to go the AZ for the winter then back. In the summer it goes to WY. One trip up, one trip back. I am guessing if you pull yours lots of times during the year you may be prone to more leaks. Every time you hit a bump its...
