    Purchasing New Tires - 4 Plus the Spare?

    We did all 5, ours had a 2015 date code. Have not got them on the rig yet due to some health setbacks, but I’m considering offering the unused spare to my coworker for a tire swing. [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    discoloration around floor vent

    I had another thought, would kind of cleaning product are you using? Maybe the cleaning product caused a reaction with the vent paint and caused the backside of the vent paint to “run”? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    discoloration around floor vent

    Another thought, could there have been water damage to the floor just before you took ownership? Rust just appearing afterward? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    discoloration around floor vent

    The foam is restricting to some extent, the furnace is not designed to have filters. So it could, over time, cause issues. Edit: I have the same flooring in my 2016 BC. I only have one floor register, in the bathroom. I added a damper style vent, but make very sure to keep it open when using...

    discoloration around floor vent

    Maybe the vinyl is getting too hot because the register is blocked? The hot air trying to find an escape, causing the vinyl to discolor? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    discoloration around floor vent

    It looks like there is foam blocking the vent? There should not be a filter on the furnace vents at all. That may be the source of your problem, maybe melted foam?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Suburban Furnace making noise like an air compressor

    If you are committed to replacing with CheapHeat electric only solution, be aware that unless wired specifically to run on both, they run on only 30amp -OR- 50amp. This may limit you if you cannot find the appropriate electrical connection. Be aware that CheapHeat uses as much electricity as...

    Are you speaking of the spray-on roof where they come to you, or do you want a far superior product, FlexArmor? Here’s what we had done, we paid $185 a linear foot, measured from the back edge to about 4” in front of the front cap seam: https://rvroof.com Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My fithwheel underbelly was cut

    Years ago, window flashing tape was recommended, and that is what we’ve used without fail. Clean with Lysol wipes before applying. It may give and stretch some with time, but it has not come unstuck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Frozen lines

    As Dan said the low point drains are probably the cause. But also, heat from one vent to the underbelly won’t keep the entire space very warm. We like to take our rig skiing, so we have had the freeze ups and learned what works and what doesn’t. We added heat pads to our water lines going to...

    Screen Door Replacement

    Another note, often in the winter the door becomes hard to close. I think it’s due to the heat vent under the stairs, that blows warm air on the inside of the door, while it’s cold outside, causing it to warp slightly. It seems to go back to normal once the temps are less dramatic. Sent from...

    Screen Door Replacement

    JimB helped us procure tinted Lexan already cut to fit for the top, bottom and slider. Unfortunately our measurements were off about 1/8”, and in the process of trying to make it fit, we cracked the top pice of Lexan. So we have it on the bottom and slider only, leaving the top part as screen...

    Adding a 3rd Roof AC Unit (2016 Bighorn)

    We actually added a portable unit this summer, vented out a small slideout window. (Created our own spacer to fit the opening.) We bought a 12k unit, and it actually cools faster and quieter than the roof air unit in the same space. It was an Arctic King from WalMart. It even has...

    Washer-Dryer Prep But No Dryer Vent

    Typically we leave the grey tank valve open for the tank the washer drain flows into if running the multiple loads, so there’s never a chance of backup/flooding. Forgot once, caught it backing up into the shower basin, just before it overflowed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Washer-Dryer Prep But No Dryer Vent

    You want the shortest, straightest run possible for the 4” vent pipe. These things don’t have a removable lint filter like a residential dryer, supposedly lint is flushed out in the water drain. However, we noticed we have to remove and clean out the dryer 4” vent pipe periodically as it...
