    Bathroom Door

    Our Big Country has a pocket door to use when entering the bathroom. We have the standard door for entrance to the bedroom. It is hinged on the right side as you face it from the hallway and opens into the hallway. It works well for us.

    Heartland Owner Plaque

    Another good idea. Now I have to decide which one to use. I do like my plaque on the ladder.

    Heartland Owner Plaque

    I don't understand the mentality of tailgates and why they like to bite front compartment doors. Thanks to you my Heartland Owners plaque will be removed from my ladder and remounted to my front compartment door! Cheap fix and it will look good. Thanks!

    Gps

    I also have the Garmin RV 760LMT. I also load custom POI's into my GPS. On an extended trip this summer I got a little upset when the GPS had me going through city neighborhoods to get to a couple of campgrounds, when there were more direct ways. In speaking with Garmin customer service, they...

    How does an Escapee SnB address work with a satellite TV service for billing and channels?

    I believe that DISH no longer offers the option of DNS, west coast and east coast locals. They have no problem changing your home locals, when you move.

    How does an Escapee SnB address work with a satellite TV service for billing and channels?

    The colored circles show the coverage for the individual spot beams. These are for local stations. I believe that the matching numbers are the transponder numbers. Look at the circles for Dallas, Houston and Oklahoma City. As an example, with Dallas being your home local stations you're not...

    Rv frig vs residential frig

    It's too bad that Servel isn't still in business and manufacturing their gas operated residential refrigerators.

    Where are the tank and low point drains?

    Maybe a Big Country is different, but I have two fresh water tank overflow drains, one on each side of the coach, back by the tires.

    Diesel Aux and main tanks

    I didn't notice a new truck in your signature. I'm sure you have upgraded to a 3500, just preparing for your new Landmark!

    Satellite connections???

    That is why I asked which satellite system he is using . Dish only requires one coax going from the antenna to the coach coax connector. He must be using an older Direct system.

    Trailer Star or Barker Tongue Jack?

    I'd also go with the Barker. Both of my travel trailers had Barker tongue jacks. I don't know about Trailer Star, but Barker products are made in USA (Michigan) and replacement parts are readily available.

    Satellite connections???

    One issue I have with the "factory cable setup is this. There is only 1 sat cable connector. If you have a DR receiver you need 2. At this time have to run the second coax through the kitchen window. Factory really need to setup 2 cables as a default since any of us have more than the old...

    Ford 6.7 fuel system issues

    Dan, I don't disagree with your post regarding the OP. The fact is we only know three things about the truck; 1.) It has a 6.7 L motor, 2.) There are metal shavings in the fuel rail, 3.) Ford is not paying for the repair. We don't know the history of maintenance on the truck, we don't know the...

    Ford 6.7 fuel system issues

    The first thing Ford is going to look at, if your HPFP has gone bad, is whether your fuel filters have been changed per their maintenance schedule. I agree that doing it more often than scheduled is a good idea. I question the original posters motives. He just registered on the forum and his...

    Algonac State Park

    Picture taken from our campsite on the St. Clair River, Algonac State Park, Algonac, MI. Both great lake and ocean going freighters use the river to transition from Lake Huron to ports west. Freighters heading up river are heading to Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, Lake Superior or the St. Lawrence...

    BD Turbo Brake for 2011-2014 6.7L

    Aren't the exhaust and intake manifolds on the 6.7L in switched positions? The exhaust manifold on top of the block and intakes on the side of the block. I believe Ford did this to shorten the length of the tubing to and from the turbo.

    Which tripod mounted Satellite for HD using DirecTv

    I use the same First Strike 1 (FS1) to locate satellites for my Dish receiver. Works great for both western arc and eastern arc satellites. Makes finding three satellites for HD very easy.

    DEF and Regen Discussion

    Re: maximum speed towing a 3260 fifth wheel The lineup in the 6.7 is DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst), DPF (diesel particulate filter), SCR (selective catalyst reduction). I would hate to have to do a complete exhaust system replacement. The costs would be multiple thosands of dollars. The...

    DEF and Regen Discussion

    Re: maximum speed towing a 3260 fifth wheel The 2010 and newer diesels have a catalytic converter (SCR) behind the DPF. The DPF collects particles. The SCR is for removing nitrous oxibes (NOx). The DEF is injected into the SCR vaporized and converted to ammonia, which converts the NOx to...

    Winterization question

    RV anti-freeze is an option, some use it others don't. I don't believe draining everything is sufficient though. The water lines should be blown out, with a hookup to your fresh water inlet. You can buy a fitting that screws into the freshwater inlet, with a connection on the other end for an...

    I can't think of a staion on Dish that we watch that isn't delivered in HD.

    Satellite

    I didn't realize that auto-aiming was a qualifier. Your statement was that with Dish, your second tv could only receive a different station from the same satellite. That is not a true statement. Yes my 1000.2 is from a residence.

    condensation in fridge

    If it is a Norcold, it is inside the lower access panel outside. The hose sits in a small catch pan, where the water evaporates.

    Satellite

    Dan, I have a Dish 1000.2 satellite antenna. I carry both a western arc and an eastern arc LNB. Like I said above, I bring my Hopper receiver and one of our Joeys from home when we travel.

    Satellite

    I have Dish and can watch any channel, from any Dish satellite, on either tv at the same time. Depending on my location we can connect with either the western or eastern arc satellites. Dish doesn't require a separate power feed either. I travel with my Hopper receiver and one of my Joey's for...

    Safety miss by Heartland, my dealer, and me

    Exactly. Also, normally the battery area for a 9v is only large enough for a properly connected battery to fit into the area (box). Don't forget a 9v battery and steel wool makes a great fire starter.

    Safety miss by Heartland, my dealer, and me

    Boy, that's hard to do since 9v batteries have male and female connectors on the same end.

    What did you do to your camper today?

    I got all interior filament light bulbs swapped out with LEDs. I also installed a hand bar on the inside of the screen door.
