    Big Country - Front leg does not go up or down

    Bob, we had this problem on our last BC. There is a cross-linkage running through the top of the front bay. Toward the door side, there is a 1/4" x 20 bolt through the linkage that sheared. I simply replaced the bolt and all was well.

    Air not working

    Larry, have you checked the voltage coming into the trailer. If the voltage is low enough, it could be that the compressor is not working and the fan is just blowing hot air(kind of like many of the people you camp with!)

    Bighorn 3270rs Sewer Hose Storage

    I purchased a piece of 6" PVC pipe and had some 1/4" threaded rod bent into u-bolts to fasten it to the frame rails. The pipe is large enough to accept the fittings and the elbow. I purchased two expansion test plugs for the ends. Some people have used vinyl fence posts with end caps on them.

    New front living Big Country Plan

    Maybe if they put an island in the kitchen with the sink or stove in it, that would give plenty of workspace.

    Repairs

    Hi Liz. I was at the plant for parts this week. I was amazed at how many different styles of the same thing they have. Fortunately, I took pictures and measurements with me. They pulled the build sheet but many items were very generic. I worked with Deena in parts and she was very patient...

    MCD shades falling off valance

    There is a track that is attached to the valance. The shades have a spring release of sorts that clips into the track. If you reach your fingers up between the valance and the shade, you will feel the track. Run your fingers along the track and you will feel the catches. There is a small...

    Big Country - Wheel Bearing Grease

    An interesting note on bearing pack intervals. Ron Russell (Titan Disc Brake rep) owns a Redwood with the disc brakes. They did a test on it. He around 26,000 miles without packing the bearings. When they pulled the wheels to inspect them, they found that they were still well greased. The...

    Big Country - Wheel Bearing Grease

    At one of the Heartland rallies, a Dexter rep did a seminar and said that the EZ Lube was the biggest mistake Dexter had ever made. He was adamant about cleaning, inspecting, and packing bearings the old school way.

    I have a water leak and don't know what it is

    I also added the valves to the overflows however I have a word of caution concerning that. I always opened the valves when filling the tank and when pumping from the tank and all was well. When connected to city water, I left the valves closed. This winter we noticed a huge lump in the...

    Fresh water system only gives a trickle of water and a lot of air. Hot water coming from the cold water faucets

    I experienced a similar problem less the hot water issue. I found a bad Andersen valve. It was sucking air through the city connection. I plugged the city connection and it worked just fine. I replaced the Andersen cartridge and I no longer have the problem.

    Ok so tired of 5'r rocking

    I have snap pads and they work just fine. As far as the installation goes, you can purchase a kit that comes with three countersink bolts and the countersink drill bit to allow for a smooth underside on the foot pads for about $21 as I recall. I used the bolts that come with the bars and...

    Ok so tired of 5'r rocking

    I went with the Steadyfast stabilizing system. It is much simpler than the JTs in my opinion. It uses three arms and is extremely easy to deploy. The installation was easy and took about 2 hours to install. I have the 6-point system and with the Steadyfast we are extremely stable.

    Opinion On The BH Shock System

    I decided to make the move to smooth out the ride. I liked the Joy Rider system and the price. The were easy to install and we are very impressed with the results. We have pulled over some very rough roads since installing them but we are experiencing much less disarray in the cabinets and...

    Mine had no effect on the height. I installed everything without ever raising the trailer so the height could not have changed.

    Opinion On The BH Shock System

    I replaced my stock shocks with the Joy Rider system. Oh what a difference!! We have about 2000 miles on them across Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri. Many of these miles on roads almost as rough as the 99 in California. We have noticed that it is safe to open cabinet doors and the...

    12V Batteries not charging on 2017 Landmark Orlando

    Frank, I had the same problem and it turned out to be the 50A manual reset mini breaker in the front bay. It had tripped and after I reset it all was well. It has an itsy, bitsy, teeny, weenie reset button on the end of the breaker. You will need to run your finger up the end of the mini...

    Sheared screws in flooring

    Can you just angle the new screws slightly so you can use the pre-punched holes and then just miss the screw bodies?

    Adding outlets

    Disconnect your shore power and remove the cover. If it is a junction box with 120 volt wiring in it, you could tie in a piece of romex and install an outlet.
