    2 issues with macerator and black water density - 2017 Big Horn 3160

    Dumping ever 3 weeks?? How many people living there? 2 of us in ours when we’re out for the winter and I dump every 7-8 days. If the waste is thick like you say, yeah not enough water! No 1s don’t take much obviously but when we do a No 2, it’s fill the bowl before you flush

    Bed Removal, 2019 Bighorn

    Found this other picture from when I replaced the BR carpet last summer. A few more screws and that OSB wouldn’t have been there opening up that whole area containing the cables and motor

    Bed Removal, 2019 Bighorn

    I’ve not completed that repair but I’m pretty sure you need not remove the bed frame and platform. Mattress, Yes, and likely the floor of the frame. Attached is a photo I took of an access panel to the electric motor for the BR slide. I would think the new cable (s) can be fished to under the...

    Lost OTA reception

    They certainly fail according to King and mine did. New antenna solved the problem I found a troubleshooting manual with a flow chart on line. (I’ll put the link in the next post). Using that & confirming with King support I replaced the original with today’s version

    Lost OTA reception

    Progress…after discovery of a troubleshooting flow chart and a chat with King support I’m quite sure the antenna head has crapped out I’ll confirm my results with King later this morning and likely be ordering a replacement

    Lost OTA reception

    Ok. FWIW, I have bypassed all internal cabling. I have a direct connection from the front of the booster plate to the bedroom TV. Also have a jumper from the antenna port on the back of the booster directly to the antenna connection This is not the old crank up style antenna. There are no...

    Checked the connection for tightness, John. But Unlike the crank up model the connection is actually in the ceiling and not exposed to the elements

    Lost OTA reception

    SOLVED…details in Post #13 Do these stubby king jack antennas fail? Has anyone ever replaced one because of failure? Lost our OTA tv on the way home from TX. In TX reception was everything from spotty to very good but I blamed that on distance and weather. Didn’t bother researching much...

    Dangerous Prescription Drugs from Mexico

    We cross into Mexico from Progreso TX. While we don’t specifically shop for our couple of maintenance drugs, our US prescription plans are cheaper, we do purchase a few pharmaceuticals that in the states require a script whereas in MX they are over the counter products (amoxicillin, Z-pack, etc)...

    Black water tank not draining - 2017 big horn 3160

    If the cable is no longer attached to the “barrel” on the end of the blade valve shaft, the cable can be pulled clear of the flexible protective sheath. If the handle is stiff to pull or push back in and nothing drains, I likely think the bottom of the tank is full of solids. A macerator only...

    Cable only works on Living area TV, not bedroom or outside hookups

    This came with our 2017 Bighorn. Only one connection in the UDC is for cable TV any others are for a satellite dish There are multiple splitters and coax connectors throughout so either one or more is loose or a splitter is no good. We have experienced both of those scenarios Good luck

    Black water tank full?

    Similarly, I can back flush our black tank using grey tank water. I ensure the grey tanks are nearly full when it’s time to dump the black tank. I close the external add on valterra valve and open both grey tank valves. The grey water rushes into the black tank. Close the grey tank valves and...

    We had a 2014 Bighorn. Failed fireplace. Not the same “trim” as in your picture but to access & remove the fireplace I had to remove the faux brick trim panel to access the fireplace anchors The trim around ours was held in place by numerous thin wire staples

    Kitchen water frozen.. bathroom not frozen

    If you have a hair dryer, from under the sink, direct the heat down into the belly through the scution . See photo… If you’re comfortable doing so, remove the cabinet floor. It’s only 1/8” luan sheeting held in place by a few small wire staples. That will expose more of an opening and plumbing.
