Bob, we put a Carefree Eclipse on our old trailer after the rain took the original down. We ordered it with the acrylic canvas instead of vinyl. Much much better material. Actually the whole awning is better than the Dometic we have now. Better motor. It had switch out side on one of the arms so...

Even got my attention. I wouldn't want to get one mile closer to NY city than that with an RV!

If Knievel can jump the fountain at Caesers Palace I bet you can find a way to put that Hawg in the garage. ;)

Running no A/C or furnace ours still gets dusty fast. It is just the nature of the beasts. Happy to say our trailer is still cleaner than most stick homes we go into.

Thats what Missions are know for. They do pretty good at that. Glad you replaced 'em!

No water or ice in our fridge door. Thank gawd!

We have a 3610 and the fridge stays at 32 set on 5. Opening and closing it and putting in warmer items can make it crawl to 38-40 then it takes a couple of hours to cool down. We are at 9000 feet and it seldom gets above 80-85. Seems our upper grill my be higher than some. If I remember right I...

Your a funny guy! We have got to get together and have beer some time. That is if your still around.:p

Not so sure about a leak. I would think that there would be check valve in the system so it wouldn't come crashing to the ground, but I haven't looked or seen one.

PM Jim he can find out. Ours was suppose to take 6-8 weeks. Was here at a tad shorter than 6. Hang in there.

We have RV's. Recreational vehicles. Why are we a slave to these fancy pants counter tops? Renee drives me nuts shinning a polishing them. I would have paid a handsome sum for optional Formica!

I had the same problem with ours. I found the provide instruction to be hard to read( been copied a zillion times) and inaccurate. Here is a pdf link of the way to program the door and it Works! Key less entry

I use my tow/haul as much empty as I do towing going down the mountains. Works GREAT! The red line on the tach is "broken" until about 4600 rpms so I dont worry much until then.

Dont have ours here to look at but if I remember the cable connector is on the "right hand wall" of the docking station, there is just one. The wall plates by your TV's are marked. Use the ones that aren't marked for the satellite and you should be good to go.

If there standard someone owes me $150!

Rick I was checking the voltage when I did the Oops. Popped the breaker on 110v. I have a bunch of the Harbor Freight testers I get on sale. They work as good as my $40 meter. At two bucks each I give them away to friends that don't have one.

We have the Saddle and if it aint leather its and darn good substitution. I am not a fan of the leather chairs at the stick home but really like the horns. We ordered the Godiva kitchen chairs with ours. The kitchen chairs that come with the Saddle were a little busy for my taste.

Local Cedar Creek dealer 1/2 mile a way had them in stock. 2 for $11.89. No wait, no freight!

Off the topic but the bedroom door on our 3610 had the striker about a 1/2 too high. I just lowered the striker 1/2 inch and whittled out the wood for the latch to go in. Took about 10 minutes. The door guys must had had some bad days because I have heard of several that did that.

Our old 3055 went in 4 times for warranty. I think I re-did everything they did. Told them the black tank was draining slow. NO PROBLEM FOUND. Took it home and kept running the tank flush until a rag came out of the tank. Problem found and fixed. I said I wasn't getting all the water out of the...

I did my own day/night shade adjustments, fixed a short in the TV cable connection, re-did a bedroom door striker, re-wired a bassackwards switch, the TimK tent in the vent mod, and various other do-dads. Closet door latch broke and water heater thermostat went bad. Just going to order the parts...

Well the rig has the new style latch. Renee had new found strength (after the second cocktail) and broke one. Never had a problem with the old latches, injuries or otherwise. Guess I will order an extra.

I thought the ducts were suppose to extend beyond the vents. Some kind of theory about balancing the air flow. A heating a A/C guru might chime in. It does seem like making a little curved whoppie at the last vent would do some good. Was there noticeable improvement by stopping the flow at the...

Thanks Rick. Guess I could have used a jumper wire but now it is 150 miles away in its mountain spot. I fried my very expensive meter by being careless while checking the heater. Good thing I buy them 2-3 at a time for $1.99 at Harbor Freight. Dont think the thermostat can get out of place on my...

Alan I am not much help but what in the world did you do to p!$$ off the water gods!

WH quit working on electric. Ran the hot water until the gas kicked in and shut the gas down and turned it on electric and grabbed my test meter and went checking. There was no 110 at the element but there is 110 on the high limit switch and on the thermostat (both are on the same assy). Heated...

If you want to just clean them use the Extreme Cleaner from this place

Check your air. The dip rods that put mine on only put in 75 pounds!

No it doesn't use a "fairlead". There is a horizontal "rod" that is toward the top that guides the cord along the top of the reel. You have to feed it back and forth to keep it even. Not enough room on the reel for all the cord if you slop@$$ it on.

Great post! Yep, we all have had some problem our two but to say the whole trailer is junk because a couple of do-hickys need some attention is a bit much. I have said it before the posts of how great my trailer is don't get much press time and hit the second page in less than a day. Human...

We have the RM1350 4 door Refer and there are two fans at the top vent. Would be easy to just unplug them. Saw they were computer type fans so sure they dont take much juice. Only complaint I have is they make a whine when they are running which isnt that often even in out 70 degree mountain days.

Guess I dont understand why you are not happy with the "whole" trailer because of those problems. Only real problem to me would be the furnace. Same furnace probably most RV's use. I adjusted all our shades when we got it. The strings strummed like a banjo. Takes quit a while to adjust them all...

Jr. fourth at the Sprint. He sure was good at dodging the wrecks. Luck?

We doubled towed two ATV's behind our old 3055 but when we got the new rig I didnt put a hitch on it. The 3610 at 39 feet was just a tad too much for me. Our summer site is only 140 miles away so I bring up the ATV's (Polaris RZR and 800 Sportsman) the following trip. Toy haulers may be OK for...

Put a termination cap on the end of the sewer dump and open both gray tank valves. Now you you have one BIG tank.

We looked at a "10" Jayco that had the same floor plan as our RE. It was only used for 2 weeks and towed 600 miles. It looked like right from the factory. Could have saved about 15 grand by buying it instead of our Bighorn RE. Wasn't worth it. Some Bighorn bashers that own Jayco's at the other...

Next time make one out of the bottom of plastic 5 gal pail.

Have always had toppers. Flapping never did bother me. Most of the time it isnt that bad. All in all its better than sliding a roof in full of bird poop and pine needles.

Ours is parked up in the WY mountains and we are have the same satisfaction as you experienced. Everything is working as should. Sure, I have tinkered with some trim and some do-dads and probably would have done a few things different if I built it. Folks have stopped by and are floored by the...

I have the Brinkman electric and used it for years. Our problem is we got tired of smoked meat. Seems we burp up smoke taste for hours after eating it. Wonder if I use the smoker with out wood and try it? Maybe put a rub or something on the meat.
