Spoke with Jeff Marner at Heartland yesterday and this morning had these two schematic drawings of the water systems for the 3650RL in my IN box. I am attaching them for anyone else that has the same unit and would like to know more about their system. We are camping this weekend and I will be...

Did yours leak when you were connected to city water, or when the pump ran? The repair place I take my RV to connected to city water for 4 days without a drop. They then put 15-20 gallons of water in both gray tanks on my suggestion and still no leak. That is why I am thinking that the shower...

I did call them afternoon and spoke with Jeff Marner in Customer Service on the suggestion of Oregon_Camper. Jeff is supposed to be sending the schematic or BIM-type drawing of the gray/black system. My repair place, The Texas RV Guys, connected it to water and left if for 4 days with no leaks...

I will do that this weekend while we are out. That would be WAY easier than dropping the Coroplast and looking for the tank leak.

Looks like installers get paid by the # of elbows they install! Yikes I am also chasing a leak that I believe is from the front gray tank on my 3650RL. Leaving the unit connected to water pressure and it does not leak a drop. However after one day of camping we have a wet spot about 4' in...

Our Big Country develops a leak after a day of camping with the drip occurring at the front driver's side front stabilizer. I have pulled out the basement panels and not been able to find anything wet or damp or dripping, so I do not believe it is in the fresh water system plumbing. I took it...

Tlrv The 2014 SOB travel trailer was the first one we "owned" but we had used our parents RVs many years previously. After enjoying it for about 3 years, we decided to get something bigger (sound familiar everyone?) so we started looking for "THE LAST RV" or hence known at our house as TLRV...

Agreed on the dually. We had a GMC 1500 that pulled our travel trailer for 3 years with no issues. It was probably the last RV we were going to own and didn't need a bigger TV; now we have the last RV we are going to own...maybe. However, once we decided to get a 5th wheel we went to the RV...

Re: ATF: Big Country - Leaking from bottom of trailer Hi TravelTiger, That is what the DW thought also, until I reminded her the first time it started leaking the AC had not run all day. I had a similar issue with the SOB travel trailer, but was able to see it was AC condensation. But, hey...

Re: ATF: Big Country - Leaking from bottom of trailer Oh boy, that is going to be hard to do with the stacked washer/dryer in there. The repair place said they have had it connected to city water for 4 days with no drips, so don't think that is it, but I'll see if I can look in there...

Re: ATF: Big Country - Leaking from bottom of trailer I don't think that is it because it hasn't been rained on since new, and it is stored under a full cover. I think there is a bad connection at a gray tank or possibly a crack in a gray tank. The repair guy is going to put water in the...

We purchased the new 2016 Big Country 3650RL in January and on a campout in April we found water dripping down from the front left stabilizer area. The water seems to be coming from above the I-beam and it is showing on the outside of the I-beam. I currently have it in for some other warranty...

Great idea...if it is unused, which mine is not. :eek: Dang. However, I have found a source for 55 gallon poly barrels with covers at $35 each. I am going to pick up one of those to use I think.

And, yes, we did stop and use Blue Beacon after a trip to the Gulf a year ago because they wash the underside also; we wanted to get the salt off of the frame. They did a good job on ours also and were very nice to deal with as well. Had to wait in a pretty long line of 18 wheelers, but not a...

We bought a Big Country 3650RL in January and I cannot find anyplace in Fort Worth Texas to wash it. Seems all of the tall self-service car washes are gone and the only place I can find is Blue Beacon truck wash, which I have to believe is pretty tough on the finish. The storage facility that...

Thanks! The Big Country has one switch for both lights, so I am looking at replacing the flat disc lights with some reading lights that are directional and have a switch on the light. That way the DW can sleep if I set up and read without her light on. Thank you for the help, I have saved the...

That would be nice, how did you do it?

We have a 2016 Big Country 3650RL and it has two of the Radiance 4.5" surface mounted LED lights above the headboard and switched at the wall. I would like to swap them out for something on a swivel mount and that can be switched at the light. I read at night, but the DW does not and these...

What a great idea! And here I was going to go to all the trouble to make a coffee table in the shop with those fancy lift up tops. I believe you can get these in colors also to match your decor...:D

We purchased a new 3650RL in January and I was surprised to find the AM/FM DVD player did not have any speakers inside the unit. Yes it has a sound bar but if you are not on shore power it will not work. We had a Rockwood Windjammer with 6 speakers in the main cabin, speakers outside, plus a...

A friend sent to me, thought it was too funny. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone recognize if this is a Heartland? Not sure and the guy wasn't all that informative. I don't guess you need a TPMS on solid rubber tires do you?

;) Thread drift...

One other issue we encountered during our first trip was the Trailair pin box air bag when south on us. I had hitched up and gone about 20 miles when I looked at the hitch in the mirror. Noticed that the hitch was riding very low so I stopped to find the airbag mostly deflated. We stopped at...

Esscobra, that is a beautiful unit! We are going to have slide toppers added to our new Big Country in a month or two. I agree that you need them in the Texas heat, and we are hoping it will make rainstorms a lot quieter on the roof of the bedroom slide out. I have woke up a couple of times...

Hi david5311, I live in Texas, so we contend with hot weather while camping also. The 3650RL unit, per the salesman, has an energy management system in it that allows the two large Dometic Blizzard AC units to work on 50 amp, not sure if a third is possible. Mine is a new 2016 model, but I am...

Avvidclif, While we were out at the RV repair place yesterday I asked the owner if he knew how to get the TV off of the wall. He looked it over and found one screw that he thought held the bottom in; he also said that it should let the TV swing out then up and off. The reason I was asking is...

Update on the water heater not working on 110v. I opened up the basement wall and used a multi tester to determine if power was getting to the element and if the element was burned. I found power was present, but was not being allowed past the relay at the element. The element was good...

Speaking of that, I tried to figure out how to lift the living room TV off of the wall mount so I could check connections there. I have a Big Country 3650RL if any of you have been able to remove it I would appreciate the "secret" method. And yes, I am going to check the tightness of all the...

I went up to the RV storage and checked the Atwood water heater, there is no switch on the outside of my unit. Both the 12v and the 120v switches are on the main panel inside. I am going to try to get up there again this weekend and pull the utility access panel in the basement so I can see...

Thanks for the reply, While I haven't gone to the storage unit to look for an outside switch on the Atwood, I did have it open that day and didn't notice a switch. Doesn't mean it doesn't have one, just didn't see anything that looked like a switch. I'll look today or tomorrow for sure. The...

All good suggestions, thank you Rod and Tiger. The PDI was good, the refrigerator was running fine on their electricity and we had turned it on a day before we left out. We have power in our storage stall, so we can do that. I will check the switch outside on the water heater, but I think it...

Took the BC 3650RL out for our first camp and a shakedown. New, but a 2016 model. Loved the way it tows behind the dually, and was surprised how little the 25-30 MPH wind affected it. Different from a TT for sure. Here are some issues/questions that I encountered which I am sure someone in...

Travel Tiger, it was the one in Mesquite on I-30. Very nice people, the PDI guy was Brian Walker and he did a very good job. We told them we wanted to buy the unit on Saturday the 21st, and our salesman, Mark Stewart, had them bring the rig into the bay so it could be powered up for us to look...

Thanks, the DW and I had spent so much time shopping for large frig, pantry, plenty of kitchen cabinets, auto leveling, and quiet AC that we didn't really pay much attention to the graphic colors or design. We both thought it looked good when we first saw it and then promptly went on to other...

Picked up the new 2016 Big Country yesterday and brought her home. We had the dealer add the washer and dryer stack, plus the Trailair Air Ride pin box. We are excited and now have to move all of our gear from the 2014 Rockwood Windjammer into the new toy.

We are picking up our new 2016 Big Country 3650RL on Friday and during walk around I noticed a short 18" piece of channel frame welded below the ends of the carriage frame; right below and just ahead of the rear bumper. I know the rear bumper is not heavy enough for a receiver that will allow 2...

We live in beautiful downtown Watauga, northeast suburb of Fort Worth, south of Keller. LOL! So if you laughed, you have been to Watauga. Haven't retired yet, but work from home anyway, so it's not a big deal to work from the RV if I want. Last big trip to out west I sent a photo taken from...

Thanks and yes to comprehensive PDI before purchasing Hello and thanks for the welcome. Thanks Erika for the advice on PDI. Actually the DW and already made a pre-PDi inspection trip and gave the salesman a typed list of items needing attention. He is going to give it to the guys so they can...

Thanks! Yes, I already downloaded several of themanuals and the PDI.
