    Frequency to Repack Wheel Bearings?

    No Heat low 20s Help

    Re: No Heay low 20s Help Fred, Does the fan run when you set the T-stat to heat and adjust to sufficient temp to run the furnace? I know this is a basic question, but we need to start some where. I know that you have checked the propane supply, therefore we must assume that if the stove...

    Need wiring diagram/info for wiring 30 amp cord to 50 amp female marine plug

    Laurent, Thought I would sent pictures of the 50 amp female plug that shows the wiring arrangement so that you can compare it to the wiring in your 50 amp plug. According to the 50 amp plug the wire location of the white and green wires are reversed. Having said that, I still is puzzling to me...

    Under Belly Insulation?

    As always, thanks for the valuable input. I am on my way to Lowes to buy some foam board! Prior to now, I had never given consideration for the foam board insulation and the fact it will not asorb water, which is a plus.

    Under Belly Insulation?

    I have removed the front section of coroplast to repair water damage from a leaking 1/4" ploy tubing to the refer icemaker. Since the coroplast and aluminized bubble rap is down, could or should I add some fiber glass insulation to the underbelly for added thermo value? The weight of 3 or 4...

    Re: So far, so good I believe that the Heartland portion of the BH trailer is above average, but the Lippert frame construction, i.e., welding is some of the poorest quality that I have seen. I hope that Thor Industries will have some influence on Lippert to put more effort into quality of...

    Landing Gear Leg Removal - 2010 BH 3410RE

    As Ray suggested, I jacked the front of the trailer up very high with two large floor jack and cribbing. Back of trailer is almost touching the ground. Was able to remove the Door Side (D/S) leg without any problem. The O/D/S is going to be another story because the leg is exterior of the...

    I have had a problem with the wiring insulation that goes to the magnet being cut by the sharp edges of the brake shoe which resulted in a direct ground. You might ask the brake controller folks if this would give the same fault code.
