We also had an issue and when we used an oxidation remover first then waxed it did seem to work better. I have heard not to try and wax out oxidation, you must use some type of remover first then wax. al

Hello, We have a 2010 Bighorn that has front electric landing. When we pulled into our site, I got nothing from the switch when wanting to raise the unit. I then pushed the 'rocker' the other way for a second and then back the other way and it started working normally----so do I need a new...

Thanks everyone--you gave me a few ideas to try--can always count on this forum to come up with some great solutions. al currently in PA--meandering to ME next week

Hello, I have seen several post about pine pitch on roof over the last few years and just wondering has anyone found a safe product (for the roof) to remove the pitch? I have tried dawn soap and elbow grease, but that does not seem to work and a little afraid to try a harsher item unless someone...

I do not think I can add much----going down will take more concentration, but you should have no issues (we full time so have traveled both ways numerous times, pulling a bighorn with a chevy 3500). Note I 90 is quite rough. al

I have had to order parts directly from HL, and found them to be great, they ask several questions to ensure they sent the correct part. They usually check to see if they have the part in stock and tell me when it will arrive and it has ALWAYS been there when they said. I have not had much luck...

You can easily remove the 3 or 4 screws on the back wall in your basement and this will allow you to see all of your plumbing. Since I had so many leaks in our unit I never put the screws back in, just set the "wall" back in place so it is easy to get to. I also leave a towel back there so I can...

Since you want FL as your home base, consider using American Home Base as your mail service, this will also give you residency. They are located in Pensacola and we have used them for 9 years and they are great. You can also call them about getting your rv and truck registered (they do that for...

Thanks everyone, BouseBill, ---yes we also had our tow vehicle cancelled last year and now since our policy is up for renewal, they (nat Interstate) said they are no longer going to insure rvs. They did recommend Safeco, so we have been in touch with and may?? go with them, just want to look at...

My guess is a small hydraulic leak---check under the bed area. al

Hi everyone, We are full timers and have had National Interstate Ins. for the last 8 years or so--they were one who understood full timing. Anyway, they are no longer going to insure full timers. For those who have them, what are you thinking of doing? Also, what ins. do other full timers have...

I have a watts pex tool---just used for crimping, then a small cutter (only 1/2"). al currently in AZ

We use FL as our "home" and use American Home Base for mail. all our mail goes to them and when we want it, just call them and they forward to our location(they will also go through "junk" mail so only forward what we want). al currently in AZ

He everyone, I need a few suggestions. Our stove burners have a yellow/orange flame on them. We sometimes used to get this when the LP tank was about to "switch over", but now we are getting it almost all the time and on all the burners. Is there an adjustment somewhere to regulate the air/gas...

Not sure if you mean the shower tank or the kitchen tank? If shower, I had a leak a few years ago and found it from the basement looking under the black tank. It was chaffed where it rest on the support. I eventually replaced the tank. al

Hello, We have a 2010 BH--3670 and are currently workamping in SD and need to stay until mid DEC or so. We then will be traveling to AZ. I have a few questions about traveling(actual driving, not evenings as we will probably be in an RV park) when temps will be quite cold. Do I need to drain...

Hi everyone, I read in Trailer Life that the right front tire takes the most abuse when towing while the left rear takes the less abuse. So what is the proper tire rotation for an RV (We have a BH 3670)? I have replaced tires, the latest being Sailums (advice from the forum) but never did any...

Thanks for the help---You are correct there is an inside liner that I took down from inside. I went to the roof and it appears the outer shell is ok, just needs to be resealed--so a few more question----the best way to take off the old dicor? When replacing should I use dicor or etherbond? Is...

Hi everyone, This may?? need to be moved to appropriate place?, I have a bathroom sky light that is leaking (around the edges) during heavy rains---How is this put together (attached to the roof?--It looks like there are screws on the inside (inside shower on the ceiling), but not sure if they...

Doing one side at a time may be better. also I think?? the torque for the wet bolts is 50 #'s. Also make sure the "opening" in the bolt is on either side, not up/down or you will have a difficult time getting grease into them. al

I would check for some type of nest or cob web and then check your oxygen/propane mix---the flame should be a blue, not orange--you can make the adjustment yourself. al

Hi everyone, I am starting to get some wear on my RV tires and wondering about having the alignment checked/adjusted. Last time about 3 years ago was in OR (Hendersons) so think it is probably time. Does anyone have a recommendation for an alignment shop in NC, VA, or PA?--moving through these...

Hi everyone, We have a 2010 BH and had new brakes and drums installed. I think one is a little tight (too many miles to return to vendor) so I want to "back it off a little'---If I want to back it off which way do I push the 'star' with a brake tool? toward the front of the rv or towards the...
