    Ask The Factory (ATF) forum closures - Feedback

    I noticed today that when I click on the Whats New it take me to the page with all of the closed forums including all of the ATF forums. Is this supposed to happen? Never mind, I figured it out, I just have to scroll through those pages

    What type of Truck is Needed for 2019 Cyclone 4200

    If parking issues and driving in downtown traffic are your real main concerns, they will become less evident after you own the truck awhile. With the cameras and parking sensors these new trucks have I have not had one close call parking since owning a dually. You will learn to park the dually...

    NEW TIRES!! Now New Axles??

    Maybe make a call to MoreRyde and see if they have some axles that came off other trailers for sale. Could save some dollars. Could get a set of new take offs from another newer model Landmark. The costs savings may warrant the trip to pick them up.

    2018 Landmark Newport Half-Bath Toilet

    We installed a Dometic 320 In the downstairs half bath, and the lid hits the back wall, not enough to cause it to close but enough to leave a mark on the wall. Does the 310 have a similar footprint? I attempted to slide the 320 all the way forward and it still hits. Maybe the problem is not...

    I think that would be handy to leave keys to RV while at pool or beach.

    icemaker Line leak

    This may be a silly question but, doesn't the stainless line still freeze in the winter? If it does you would still have to shut water off to the icemaker in the winter right?

    What washer/dryer combo (ventless) has a good rep

    We went a little different route, we bought and used for 1 year a ventless LG combo washer/dryer. It worked but we had to take shirts and any other wrinkle item out damp and hang to dry. That got old real fast even with the big front bathroom on our fifth wheel. After the first year of owning...

    Need Baggage Door Bracket Reinforcement

    Mine did the same thing to me on this past weekend. Opened the basement door and the strut screws pulled out of the door. I did notice the screws were all rusty. Looked closely at the perimeter of the door and it looks like it has delaminated from water intrusion. I am going to fix it the same...

    Mini Circuit Breaker Always Pops

    Thank you everyone for the replies. As for the breaker size, I looked at some of the pictures posted in couple of posts of a mini resettable breaker and assumed it was the same. Just for clarification, I am talking about the breaker with the button on the side. I will start turning off the house...

    Mini Circuit Breaker Always Pops

    Every time I connect or disconnect the RV from the pedestal the Mini circuit breaker pops. I always connect/disconnect with the breakers off. Would it help to change the factory manually resettable 20 amp with a manually resettable 30 amp. I have to check that little breaker constantly to make...

    What’s the best truck to pull a BIGHORN?

    I had just slowed down going into a town when I had a gentleman pull along side me mouthing the words "You have a Flat Tire!" I immediately pulled over and checked the tires assuming it was on the trailer. Nope, it was an outside dual on the truck. I have no idea how long the tire was flat but I...

    What’s the best truck to pull a BIGHORN?

    58,500 for a 2016 RAM Longhorn Dually. With my trade, made it almost affordable. Still a lot of money...for a truck. Heck my first house wasn't much more than that:) But you are correct, I couldn't touch Ford or Chevy for that price. And, I really liked the inside of the King Ranch, and I...

    What’s the best truck to pull a BIGHORN?

    Only a Ram...I used to have a Chevy and we could not go anywhere:) Just kidding, any of the Big 3 will pull your Big Horn. I prefer a Dually just because its more stable, in my opinion. I had a Chevy 3500, DW wanted a new truck, so she bought a Ram. We are obviously not brand loyal. I am more...

    EZ Snap RV Shades

    We also had a metalized tint installed professionally on all of the windows, made a huge difference. We leave all shades open during the day with only the day shades pulled. It dropped the temperature at the glass from 126 degrees to 88 degrees measured at the glass, sunny side of the RV at 6:00...

    AC fan cycles Low to High and back to low

    My solution, like Dan said is to lower the set point or set the fan to low or high. Do you think the compressor shuts down or just the fan?

    AC fan cycles Low to High and back to low

    Does anyone else's AC do this? When set to Auto, the fan will change from High to Low speed for a few minutes. Then as temps in the trailer rise, the fan will cycle back to High. Then the whole process keeps repeating itself. When the fan is changing speed its like the AC momentarily shuts down...

    ATF: Big Country - Ducted AC has hole leaking cold air

    I believe some other manufacturers have figured out how to keep these RVs cool in the hot summer sun. Thicker walls and heat reflective glass in the windows. When I touch the inside wall of the trailer and it feels hot, how can we expect to keep the inside cool. Also, I measured the temperature...

    Shower problem and how to disconnect sink in Bistro (Big Country Model 3690 Sl) Rear elevated kitchen

    Mine did the same thing after I froze the trailer. Keep in mind the faucets are the inexpensive Duro brand and are all plastic. Mine only leaked when the knobs were in the on position. If you have small hands you can change the faucets from the removable plate below the shower knobs. I could...

    Recommendation for mattress replacement

    Same here, replaced the too soft king mattress with a queen Tempurpedic. Great sleeping and easy to make the bed now with the additional room created by cutting the bed platform.

    Wet bolt failure

    I spoke to MoreRyde directly before purchasing the X factor cross member and wet bolt kit and they only suggested the center cross member, never even mentioning installing the other two. had they suggested it, I probably would have purchased 3 of them.

    Would Like Opinions of 2018 BC 3950FB

    We have the 2015 3950FB and love it. We on the other hand love having the half bath and would not ever own another fifth wheel without it. On the road with the slides closed there is no access to the upstairs toilet. Having the downstairs toilet just inside the door is very convenient. Also...

    Wet bolt failure

    Could an over torque condition have caused the failure. I know when I did mine, I thought 50 ft/lbs was a little light. Just barely past tight. But, that is what I torqued them to.

    New EMS PT50X

    I heard, not sure if its true or not, that you have to keep the original box if you have to send it in for warranty??? I wouldn't know, I have never sent mine In for warranty in the 8 years I have owned it. But, I do know the box went bye bye long ago. Very dependable unit, saved me a couple of...

    Air bags yes or no?

    I had tag trailers for years before fifth wheels, my understanding is the WD hitch distributes the tongue weigh over the entire chassis of the truck/SUV and not just on the hitch. I remember going over a very hilly road and it felt like the truck and trailer were floating over the hills and not...

    12 Volt fuse blows, Now ceiling fan doesn't work

    Yesterday I checked the scare lights, porch lite and step light. All work with #9 fuse removed??? So, I now need to figure out what fuse is powering the external lights. I will check the other items, Thanks for your help. I will post what I find.

    2015 Duramax Fuel excessive fuel consumption

    I know on the older DMax engines if an injector was bad it would leak diesel into the crankcase and make oil as they would say. Check your oil level and see if its high. Keep in mind that if this is happening the oil will be diluted and may be hard to see on the dip stick. And, like I said, this...

    12 Volt fuse blows, Now ceiling fan doesn't work

    I spoke to Heartland, Fuse 9 is for the scare lights, porch light and step light. Circuit breaker 1 is for the ceiling fan. Breaker is not blowing. Turn on switch for ceiling fan and red led next to fuse 9 illuminates. Hmmm.

    12 Volt fuse blows, Now ceiling fan doesn't work

    I didn't get a chance to pull switch, I did put an AC volt meter across the pulled fuse #9 which is the one that is blowing. This fuse is for external lighting, not sure why this fuse powers the ceiling fan. I measured about 10 volts AC. Switch it to DC and measured 13.5 with the switch on...

    12 Volt fuse blows, Now ceiling fan doesn't work

    No, its a 2015 Big Country, I am going to pull the switch panel and see what I see. If nothing, then I guess the ceiling fan will be next and I can check for shorts there. I am almost positive a wire came loose somewhere. I just can't see how 12V and a 120V fan are connected...unless there is a...

    New Tow Vehicle

    I have never locked the wheels on my BC by actuating the lever, even on gravel. I did lock them during an emergency stop and had the BC slide to the right and truck to the left. I set mine at maximum.

    12 Volt fuse blows, Now ceiling fan doesn't work

    Something has to be connected. Why would the ceiling lights dim. I hope you are correct. Does anyone know if there is a relay that powers the ceiling fan? I will pull the switch panel when I get home.

    12 Volt fuse blows, Now ceiling fan doesn't work

    Does the switch panel that controls the living room ceiling fan operate a 12 volt relay to turn on the ceiling fan? If so that could be the connection. Because when the fuse blows and ceiling fan switch is on the LED ceiling lights dim.

    12 Volt fuse blows, Now ceiling fan doesn't work

    Not any of the 12 Volts ones. That would be way too easy. It's the 120 Volt ceiling fan in the living room. As long as the fan is off the fuse doesn't blow. What could the 120 volt fan have to do with 12 volts. I am at work now but I wish I would have looked to see which fuse is blowing.

    12 Volt fuse blows, Now ceiling fan doesn't work

    Replaced the fuse and turned on ceiling fan and the fuse immediately blew. What relationship would the 12 volt circuit have to do with the ceiling fan? And, once the fuse blows and switch for ceiling fan is left on ceiling lights are dim. Turn off ceiling fan switch and everything works normal...

    Exhaust Brake

    I was told it is because when the exhaust brake engages and slows down the truck, no brake lights come on the trailer. On big trucks, and correct me if I am wrong, when the engine brake engages the tail lights illuminate on the trailer? I use it all the time when towing also, works great In...

    Do we really have correct track?

    I know this is an old thread but I just finished this weekend installing the MOR/Ryde wet bolt kit and X-Factor cross member and I have found that the bolt which goes to the alignment cam for the correct track are welded together. On my BC their is no ability to change to a wet bolt at those...

    2017 Big Country with Big Problems
