    2014 3010RE Bathroom Backsplash

    The original backspalsh was just a piece of wallpaper which was already bubbling up and coming loose. It looked like this. I removed the paper and installed a self adhesive vinyl type tile. It is by the same company as the mod I did on my stove backsplash(documented in another thread). I also...

    Big Horn Bathroom door on the 3010 RE.

    When we ordered our 2014RE, we had the factory install the door with the hinges on the left. Works great for us.

    2014 3010RE Stove Backsplash

    Our 3010 came off the line at the very very end of May. It is not an option, just a very neat change by Heartland. It is a two piece unit. Thanks for the compliment.

    2014 3010RE Stove Backsplash

    The old backsplash didn't come off real easy. I used a putty knife as I was prying it away from the wall with a small crowbar. Be sure to put a small board under the putty knife to keep it from going through the wall. For preparing the wall, I had to get rid of lots of what looked like silicone...

    2014 3010RE Stove Backsplash

    In order to brighten up the kitchen a bit, I removed the brown drab looking backsplash behind the stove and installed these self adhesive vinyl type of tiles. They are available at some Home Depots, but are a bit pricey at about $10 per square foot. Purchase them by the box of 12 and the cost...

    Wind flips awning all over the place

    Curt, one gallon jugs filled with water might be an option for you. Basically no weight when transporting them when empty.

    No bad news....

    We tented for over 30 years and then went to a fifth wheel. Now we are on our fifth fiver. Thinking back when we were purchasing our first one, I remember telling the salesman that we probably won't even cook in it and that we just wanted something to get us out of the rain. 16 years later, I...

    2 questions on Generators and 5th wheel stabilizers

    I agree with dbbls59's comments on the generators. Another option would be to piggyback two Honda 2000 generators. On the stabilizers, I have used this http://www.steadyfast.com/howitworks.html system and it worked real well for me. I would definitely recommend it to any one. Very well built...

    Size shop jack for tire changes?

    Not sure if my TST 507 is the same as yours, but on mine the sensors have to be removed to air up the tire. The company is very easy to work with and it is a very popular system. On the bottle jack, I carry this one http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200318933_200318933 although I...

    2014 3010RE Pantry Mod

    The DW was not happy with the two 4.5 in shelves in the pantry. Hence the following: This is what it looked like before I started this project. I removed this heavy bulky shelf unit from the door. The second shelf unit was on aluminum tracks. I removed the tracks and shelf. Next I removed both...

    2014 3570RS bathroom faucet

    I just finished yesterday installing a $80 Pegasus(bought on sale while at the Michigan rally last year). The problem I had on my BC and now on my BH(same faucet) is that the brass stems on the Pegasus are a little shorter than the originals and the pex line wasn't long enough to reach the stem.

    My exterior height?

    I have always used a 2x4 long enough to reach from the highest AC to a little past the side of the fiver. Then I put a level on top of the 2x4 to make sure it is level. Measure from the bottom of the 2x4 to the ground. I write this measurement down on a piece of paper and affix to the dash of my...

    The 3010 is keeping me very busy. Been working on it every day all day. Have done several mods. You'll have to come and check them out at the Lake Delton rally. Haven't spent much time on the munzees, but have been able to get 5 cakes. See you soon.

    John, the anchor bolts are, as you well know, for permanent installation. Florida or Texas probably wouldn't want my bolts for a keepsake.

    SOLVED: Brakes locked up while backing

    Re: Brakes locked up while backing It has happened to me twice. Ever since then, to get the slack out of the cable, I use a clippy and clip the cable to the side of the hitch to keep the cable off the floor. Works great.
