    Tv mounting in bedroom

    If you can locate two studs on the wall, use a board to span them and mount the TV to that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Battery replacement

    The size of the battery box will limit what size battery you can install. As we discussed, have them measure both the battery and the box to see what you can replace the old battery with. I know a Group 27 will fit in it since that’s what I replaced the Group 24 with that came with the 3670 we...

    Extend/retract button by trailer hitch

    On the original BH electric Ventura jacks there was a single motor that operated both front jacks via a connecting rod that ran across the front of the rig inside the compartment. A DIY upgrade was to replace them with independently operated ones, again from Ventura. The original Ground Control...

    Black substance leaking from Bedroom slide

    If you can soak up or collect the liquid on a piece of paper towel, or even just feel the spot on the carpet, rub the spot between your thumb and index finger. If it’s oil based, it should feel slippery. Water based will not be slippery. But if you can expose the slide drive motor, that would...

    Where is the circuit panel located?

    Normally there are two. The larger is the 120V breakers and the smaller is the 12V fuses. Might be hidden inside a closet or cabinet if not on the wall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cable hookups

    With no power applied, you can short one end of a line and use a VOM on the other to check for continuity. That will help identify what’s going where. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Remove valence

    Use a magnet to find them and a #2 square drive to remove them. They are flimsy and the fabric ratty. I rebuilt all of them on our previous 3670, replacing the Day/Nights with vertical blinds, but used the fabric to cover them. Along with fabric glue to keep the material from fraying more...

    Lost OTA reception

    When you contact King, ask if they can provide a parts diagram showing the inner workings (if your manual doesn’t have one). Might give you a lead on where a connection might be a problem. The OTA antennas I used on our old rig were all the crank up type. I did change the heads over time, but...

    Check the connection to the antenna. They can develop oxidation over time and block the signal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Altered GVWR

    The GVWR is the maximum weight capacity for a fully loaded trailer with all your stuff in it. The dry weight is how it left the factory. So, put your gear in it and take it to a CAT scale to see what you’re pulling. If it exceeds your truck’s rating, take some stuff out. And don’t haul with full...

    Cannot find water pump.

    Running the pump and listening for it (they’re not quiet) is the stock answer for locating it. As for the converter, they’re usually behind the basement walls in a 5th wheel (as is the water pump), in the vicinity of the breaker panel. With TT’s they can be under a bed or in a cabinet. Sent...

    Help slide out won’t retract

    Or the battery is weak. Did the other slides retract OK? Are you still on shore power? If not, try connecting the umbilical to your truck and try it. Unless you’ve been using the pump valves to isolate different slides, most likely they’re open and not the problem. If the mini-breaker popped, I...

    New Sewer Hose Storage

    When we had our rig, the RhinoFlex hose was my choice. I had a 15 and 10 ft. section of it. Sturdy and collapsible, it stayed in the shape you put it. Easily collapsed to fit in the storage compartment that used to be on the sides of the larger 5th wheels Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Toilet water bubbles/splashes up when toilet bowl is full when you flush

    One of the drawbacks of using the backflush to the black tank was that you had to fill the pipe to the galley gray tank before anything actually gets into the black tank. On the 3670 we had, that was a fair volume of water due to the distance. I used the tank flusher while draining the tank and...

    Water Filter

    This was the water filter system I used. First was a sediment filter, followed by a carbon filter (from RV Water Filter Store). The gage in the box is the pressure regulator going to the trailer and there's a water meter on the outside of the box. I used the water meter to determine when it...

    OK, here's some photos if you've never been behind the walls. The "Basement 'O' Doom" is what I called it after seeing the jumbled mess back there. And don't be surprised at the junk and debris back there. In IMG2702, the original position for the converter is the gray box partially visible...

    Acts like power is struggling

    In the 2009 BH3670, they either mount the converter directly behind the breaker panel in the stairwell or against the basement wall near the base of the stairs (I’d look there first before pulling the breaker panel). You’ll have to remove the pipe chase cover for the washing machine plumbing and...

    Black water valve slow leak

    You may have either a defective tank valve or some debris trapped in the slot that the valve blade seats in when closed. For the former, it may be the cable is not traveling far enough to fully close the valve, or the valve body screws have loosened. To deal with that will require dropping...
