    Lights are dim - battery low

    Greg after reading your post I'm a bit concerned. The pedestal should be off after the last guy disconnects and leaves his site because you should never disconnect you power cord while the pedestal breaker is on. Likewise you should never plug into a hot pedestal. Kill the power, plug in and...

    Awning LED light strip

    Glenn I have a 2014 BH with that strip. I had the factory replace it while still under warranty. It was getting very dim and some of the LDS's went bad. Just as a side note, you don't run them with the awning rolled up do you? That would not be good.

    Blowing Fuses

    The breaker constantly was tripping when I operated the front landing gear on my 2014 BH. I stopped at Lipperts and they recommended replacing the 50A with a 80A. Lippert also told me that the circuit draws 79A when retracting. I purchased two 80A breakers, but I'm just not comfortable with over...

    How many campers have you owned?

    Tented for many many years and then we bought a 1997 Jayco 5th wheel with no slides. Then a 2002 Montana, a 2007 Montana, 2012 Big Country and now a 2014 Bighorn. Had lots of fun in all of them including the tents.

    Tyre mapping program

    I've been playing with this program trying to create a route and then sending it to my Garmin. The route is easy to manipulate, but then when I send it to my Garmin the route is not the changes. Then I found that when I send the route back to Tyre, the route is the one I originally created. Does...

    B&W Hitch questions

    Gary I bought my 24K Companion at Etrailer and yes they did take a video of the installation. It can be seen on the internet. They will only video the installation if they have never installed that hitch on your model truck. I live only a few miles down the road.

    Lights flickering

    Roy, you can always have Amazon send it to one of your neighbors. I've done it several times. Actually when mine went out I had it sent to a campground that I was going to for a rally.

    Winter in Texas ???

    We've stayed in Mission for several winters now and really like it. Lots of things to do. Several flea markets and real close to Mexico to go to the dentist and pick up your meds. Personally I'm afraid to get to close to the coast because of the salty air.

    I panicked at Pilot Fuel Station yesterday

    I'll have to check that out. I've been paying $12.50 for a 2 1/2 gal jug( pretty standard price for my area. Maybe I should refill one of those jugs and see how much it is. OR does anyone know the pump price?

    REPLACED: Anderson 4-way Valve

    My old worn out hands didn't have the strength to turn the Anderson valve. Anderson has redesigned the valve cartridge to make it less likely to bind up. Call 1-800-476-9876 and ask for Ron. He will send you a new cartridge free of charge. I just installed mine this afternoon and it works great now.

    Level up: Do you still chock the tires?

    Several months ago a storm came through a local RV park. It totaled out a Big Country and several other rigs got damaged. I noticed that some rigs had gotten blown off there pads. I would thing that chocks would have helped from getting some rigs blown around. All level spots by the way.
