Hi everyone, I need some help/advice. Last fall when winterizing I realized the check valve on the hot side of the water heater would need replacing. So, today I tried to take out the check valve--they must have put it in with glue/solvent because being plastic it snapped off. Now to get it...

Hi everyone, I thought I understood this, but now heard another version (from workamper.com). They stated when connecting 12V in parallel, on battery # 1 it goes out to +, then battery # 2 goes to neg. and connect these in parallel I had heard that one battery could go both to pos and neg--and...

Hello, I need some help. Does anyone have an air box hitch? If so, how much (if any) play do you have fore/aft? I am getting some and wondering if one of the bushings needs to be replaced. I chatted with mfg and they said "it should be minimal"--just wondering if others have this issue. thanks...

I also have a Watts 263---yes when you turn on a faucet the pressure will go down. I set mine about 40-42 and mine will also go up sometimes when not using water--was told it was because of the water heater???, however never had any real issues. al currently in Kenai, Ak

Welcome to the forum----ask and ask some more--this group is great about sharing information. You will enjoy the full time life and meet new friends along the way. search the internet for some good books about the life, and information about questions to ask. HL is by far the best customer...

I agree with above, we try to figure what is broken/incorrect--call HL and have them ship the part to whatever rv park we are located--HL and other vendors (trail-air, dometic, etc) have been great as far as the part being shipped. We have had to leave our rv a few times and have made...

They looked great---I have a 2005 and have been thinking about doing this---need some information: Mine would power extend---do these do that? I am not sure if I have heated mirrors---did you and are the new ones heated? How was installation and how long did it take? thanks al currently in Kenai, Ak

I sometimes spray ours with cooking spray oil--it works great and when it get sticky again, I just spray a little on the white part---easier than a toothbrush. al currently in Kenai, AK

JohnDar---I also have freestar on my BH3670 and have been very happy with them---I did some checking and they were made in CA--not sure if I can find them anywhere when time to replace---thinking about that now as they are 4yrs old with 20K+ miles. thought I would go with the GY--but not sure...

I agree--the tail gate is going to be the issue--I have unhooked and hooked at a steep angle with not much issue, Your hitch will tip somewhat to help you, just watch the tailgate. al currently in Kenai, Ak

I used a bottle called Orange Product---however can only get it in shows--it worked great---I tried to get some on line, but the shipping was way too much. I do plan to get more when I get to a show as it is the best I have ever used. al currently in Kenai, AK

Great information for the group---two questions for the group---if you need to replace bearing where do you find the number/model of bearing? When you do repack bearing and replace seals--where do you get the correct model/number for the seal. We have a BH 3670 thanks al currently in Kenai, AK

We have NI---have not had a claim, but like the diminishing deductible. We are full timers and they also offer us coverage on our storage unit that is located in FL. al currently in Kenai, AK

Sure---we are currently in Kenai---we came up to workamp last summer and decided to store the rv and stay the winter. You are correct, when spring gets here, we plan to get the rv out of storage and will remain in Kenai until JUL---we would love to show you our BH--it is a 2010 3670, we are full...

WOW--glad no one was hurt---I am in the process of researching tires for this summer---I thought??? I had decided on GY 614's, but now wondering?? al currently in Kenai, AK

I agree with MTPockets--FL has a lot to offer. Since you have some time, consider contacting the state tour chamber and get a few brochures with maps and see what interest you have, kids/fishing/beaches/hiking/etc--then find an area that appeals to what you like. There are many, many parks in...

Hi everyone, We have a 2005 Chevy 3500. The outside mirrors have lights that come on when turn signals are used. The one on the drivers side has quit working. The turn signals on the front and rear on the truck are working fine, just the mirror indicator. I have checked the manuals and cannot...

Hey good catch wdk450--my post stated 48M it should have said 48K----48,000.

We are originally from ME, so understand cold weather. One vent in the bedroom should be enough, that is the closest to the furnace and gives plenty of heat. I know the BH are insulated in the front. You will enjoy your new adventure. al currently in Kenai, Ak

WOW--neat story---we volunteer in NP, because usually the camp host site is large enough for the BH. Several campsite advertise that they can take big rigs, but usually the roads are so narrow you cannot get in the site OR there are too many overhanging branches to take off your antenna/AC. Glad...

I have Michelins on mine but they are 16"----215.85r.16 LTX A/S---they currently have 48M and look like new---wish I could get Michelins for the Rv??? al currently in Kenai, AK

Welcome to the club--feel free to ask and give advise as you will find this is a great group of people. al currently in Kenai, AK

Glad you caught everything in time. Did you check your seals when you had the bearings out--also type of grease---if you had high temp grease in there and then added regular grease, it could be possible to mess up your bearings. I have also heard that never try to mix two different types of...

It sounds like your dealer should have helped you through this process? You should be able to check your manual under winterizing and you should not have any issues. Concerning your connections--they will come loose occasionally as you travel---I just check mine quite often and retighten as...

I have used a polymer called nu finish and have been happy with it. al

Ours is with National Interstate and they give one for the truck and one for the rv. When traveling into CN we show them both and have no issues. Also, if you plan to bring firearms through CN be sure to fill out the paperwork & follow the rules---no issue, just have it with you as they will...

Welcome to the forum---great people and always willing to help so please ask. Concerning clothes---we keep our everyday stuff in the rv and stuff we only need occasionally we put in tubs in the basement storage. Be sure to label the tubs so it will make it easier to find. Not sure of your...

Re: Alaska: damages, trailer size, getting stuck You will enjoy every minute of your trip. You can go on either the Alcan or Cassier. We, along with two other workampers came up last May and had no issues. Travel slow and plan on 200-250 miles/day and enjoy the ride. We hit the most frost...

Great thread---glad you did not have any significant damage and no one was hurt. I do have a few questions and a comment. for JohnDar, we have freestarr on our BH, and they have been doing quite well---close to 20M miles including a trip up to AK. I did some checking on these in our size and...

You WILL enjoy your new adventure!!!! You ask for some pointers and here are a few----keep your tires to the proper pressure--check each day----torque the lugs on the wheels before starting out. If you can get the unit weight with everything you plan to carry---adjust accordingly to what is...

You have received some good advice, so I will only add one more thing to consider. The valve may need lubrication to close easily and completely. Drop the belly and there is a small piston on the end of the valve---lube and see if that corrects the issue al currently in Kenai, AK
