    Backing into a pitched driveway

    I would consider putting some type of long boards to somewhat bridge the 'dip"--this should also lift the rv some to clear the rear. Use something wide like a 2x10. al

    RV tire wear

    Thanks everyone--knew I would get great responses from this group. My pictures all came out too black to post however my tires look like several of the pictures that have been posted. Perhaps it is the turning that is causing the tires to wear on the inside and outside. I do appreciate that...

    Yet another Suburban Water Heater issue.....

    I would check power coming into your switch. I think? power goes to that switch prior to going onto the heater. If it is low then go to fuse box and see if by chance you have a weak circuit breaker. You should get several other responses from others who are more knowledgeable than me!! al

    blotches--oxidation?

    Hi everyone, We have a 2010 BH that I have always waxed with a polimer about 2 times/year. However it is starting to get small blotches on the surface, like the wax is still there and not coming off. Is that some form of oxidation? and what do you recommend to fix the issue. I tried a few...

    Hello, we have a BH 3670---2010---this morning I moved the thermostat up and got nothing from the furnace.

    you have some great advice, I'll add one more thing to check that caused a neighbors to not work. The rain sensor was dirty ( I guess the same as having water on it?)--cleaned it up and all was fine. al

    Refer drain hose replacement options

    Hi everyone, We have a 2010 HL Bighorn. The "plastic" drain tube for the refer has become brittle and kinda falling apart.

    Fla campground recommendations

    Not sure if you want to stay in the gulf area. It may be a little chilly(not cold) and there will be less people. If so try Pensacola RV park---the owners are on site all the time and you will not find a nicer couple to help you with anything. al currently in AZ

    Bighorn - waste valves

    Re: ATF: Bighorn - waste valves You have probably already did this for regular maintenance, but if by chance you did not. Each valve has a small "piston type" right near the valve (you need to drop the belly to see it). I usually put a few drops of silicone on this when I'm under there. al...

    Replacing Blackwater Tank

    I have not replaced my black, but did do my gray tank (the one below your black tank).

    Bed Room Slide Seals

    An easy job, just takes a little time. There is a screw at each end, take those out, cut a new piece, I then used the old one for exact location of the screw holes and drilled the holes in the new seal---made it easier to get the screw into the existing hole.
