The coax will attach to the correct coax connector in the UDC. There is a diagram sheet inside the UDC, attached to one of the walls, that shows where to connect your coax.

I have a 2014 Big Country and the only on/off switch for the scare lights is on the remote.

Possibly the 12500 number is the combined weight for both the truck and trailer. Get your truck weighed with a full tank of gas and the people that will be in the truck when towing. Also, anything else that will be in the truck. This will give you a number you can subtract from the 12500, to see...

Looks like a really nice camp site. We love desert camping.

I previously had 2 travel trailers before our 5th wheel. I installed Hensley hitches on both trailers. I would never pull a travel trailer without one. Makes towing a trailer easy and worry free. I'm now using a Hensley BD3 to tow my Big Country. Since you are in Michigan, you can pick it up at...

So it's not Dish that limits your viewing, it's the type of equipment you're using.

I'm not sure what you mean by Dish won't work if the input signal from the dish (antenna) is split. My input signal travels thru one coax cable from the dish (antenna) to my UDC. After the UDC the coax goes to a splitter with a coax connection for the living room and the other coax is connected...

We went by the BBQ - Food Trailer yesterday, they didn't have any BBQ on the menu. Maybe BBQ in Indiana is different than what I think BBQ is. We then stopped by the Pellet Smoker demo and had some great pulled pork and chicken wings. Tasted like BBQ should taste.

Hi Gerry. Diane & Mike Roberts just made reservations for the August Michigan Rally. We will arrive on the 24th and check out on the 28th. We will see you next week in Goshen

Open the drain valve on your fresh water tank and see if you get water out instead of letting it fill. You will know sooner.

Inside your shower is a round access port. Unscrew the cover and you will find what you are looking for. The line is for your black tank flush.

You don't have any low point drains on your Big Country. Their are two vents for your fresh water tank. One on each side of your unit. You found one of them, there is also another vent on the opposite side. I put a plastic valve on the end of each vent hose. I close the valve after filling the...

You want cable that is rated at 3ghz. It will be printed on the cable itself. When I upgraded to the Dish Hopper receiver and a Joey for the bedroom it required 3 GHz cable. I thought I was going to have to replace all of the cable in my unit. Surprisingly my unit was wired with 3 GHz cable . I...

Go to the following web site, they have an excellent information sheet for measuring the lock length, cam length, and the bends in the cam if not a straight cam. The web site is: ch751.com/our-locks/locks/thumb-turn-cam-lock.html. Once to that page click on the Measuring Guide. It is a PDF...

Don't forget to change your wife's batteries. You don't want her propane detector to fail.

Re: Anyone for Alaska in 2017??? Hi Nathan, I hope you have a great trip. We did it a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. We live about 3 miles east of I-75 in Michigan and have one recommendation for your trip. If you are heading into Sault Ste Marie and heading west across Canada for no...

That's true for the locks with the code entry. The slam shut cabinet locks I'm installing are just the key operated locks. I will probably just drill out the rivets and use the RV Lock backing plate. Thanks

I am replacing my existing Southco baggage door locks with locks from RV Lock. When installing the new locks, do I have to remove the existing plate (Southco) on the backside of the door? It is riveted in place and the rivets would have to be drilled out to remove it. The reason I ask, is that...

Yes, most probably EPDM. The sales literature for my 2014 Big Country lists TPO as the roofing material. Before doing any re-caulking and cleaning I wanted to know for sure. In doing some research I learned that EPDM has a black backing and TPO does not. I removed one of the roof fan covers to...

If you're talking about changing out your coax cable from your Tailgater to your TV, I would recommend that you get a good 3 GHz cable. The markings on the cable will indicate 3 GHz. (GHz = gigahertz)

Thanks Jim. I spoke with Ben Pearson this afternoon in regards to an appointment for having the Liberty and Joy Ride Systems installed during the Rally.

Thanks Jim. I know that this time of year you are really busy.

I spoke with Sonny yesterday afternoon and he told me that he would have the pricing and flyer over to you in about 20 minutes. That was at noon Eastern time. Obviously that hasn't happened. I hope his product is better than his word. I want to schedule an install while in Goshen.

I couldn't believe you were going to Utah without a without a working furnace.

After traversing Vail Pass on I-70, a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't wait to get back onto Michigan roads!

Jim, are there going to be vendor specials for: RV Lock and suspension systems from RV Improvement Systems? Thanks

When I replaced mine, the original cartridge was also missing an O Ring, along with a torn one. I spoke with customer service about the missing O Ring. He told me that on the earlier versions that particular O Ring was not installed during production. My Big Country was built in mid-2013, I...

Yes, the reset switch is that small! Look on the side of the circuit breakers. Probably better to use your finger than your eye.

My 2014 Big Country has a separate switch in the main switch panel, in addition to the two pull chains, for the overhead fan. Check to see if you have that switch and no one accidentally switched it off.

I wonder if there is any correlation between your leak at the shower faucets and your lack of hot water?

Looking forward to seeing all of the North Central Region attendees at the meet and greet in Goshen. Mike & Diane Roberts

I do exactly the same! Can watch different stations on either TV, at the same time, and they don't have to be from the same satellite. Dish makes it extremely easy to get local channels wherever we are. We also carry both western and eastern arc LNBs with us.

We have traveled US 2 many times from Michigan to as far as Washington. We take that route any time we are heading west and want to use a northern route. I totally agree with a previous post, other than going through it, don't plan on staying in Williston, ND. South of Williston is Theodore...

First thing you want to do is look into the ESCAPEES Club and then join. It will be the best $39.00 you've ever spent.

Re: What did you do to your camper today? I I also use the Garmin RV 760LMT. I like it because the size of the screen allows me to actually see everything on the screen. Mine is mounted on the top of the dash, in the middle. I like that it shows ahead of time which lane I need to be in to...

Erika, that is the new Hybrid Pro eastern arc LNB. It locks onto the 72.7 & 61.5 satellites.

Erika, check out the LNB mounted on the post. Their will be three eyes pointing toward the reflector (dish). If it is a western arc LNB, the eyes will be equally spaced from each other. If the LNB has one eye spaced away from the other 2, it is an eastern arc LNB. Eastern arc = HD local stations...

Sounds like a good plan to me Erika. I'm assuming that Dish came out and set up your dish on the tripod. They must use eastern arc LNBs when doing installs in Abilene, so customers get HD locals. Enjoy your Traveler when travlin'.

Erika, when you get stuck in special conditions when attempting to locate certain satellites a tripod mounted antenna is a saviour. With equipment like the Winegard Traveler, as you found out, you are limited to locating the western arc satellites. The three western arc satellites are 110, 119...
