    What did you do to your camper today?

    I agree, you wouldn't want to draw in to much air, but since the fans are mounted up at the top and tilted to blow the air out, I don't think it's making too much draw. I removed the 2 old 4" fans and wired the 2 new fans to the same wires so all factory circuitry is still in place. The fans...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    We have the Norcold 4 door refrigerator/freezer. It wasn't keeping either area cold enough. When I pulled the covers off I found that there were two 4" fans and a piece of sheet metal blocking all but about 2" of the upper exhaust. I removed the piece of sheet metal, and replaced the two 4"...

    2019 - Goshen Rally - Discussion Thread

    BigJim45 Thanks for answering but what I was trying to point out to Jim Beletti is that in one place it says it'll be $350.00 for 1 RV and 2 people, in another place it says it'll be $305.00 foe 1 RV and 2 people. I'm sure it's just a typo, but I wasn't sure which one was correct. Just trying...

    Awesome deal for Shell Rotella D.E.F.

    Well, there you go. I'm glad to know that info, and not just hear say. I keep mine in the bed of the truck with a cover (except when towing) but the temps vary depending on location and time of year. I never have it very long so unless it's old when I buy it, it should be fine. Thanks for the info.

    ATF: Landmark - Mystery switch on 2017 Landmark Newport

    Well, that's what I thought, but those lights are on all the time and the switch doesn't turn them off. But the thought just came to me that maybe that switch is for those lights and doesn't work, leaving them on constantly. Great something new for my honey do list. I'll let you all know...

    Awesome deal for Shell Rotella D.E.F.

    I'm not 100% sure of this but I believe I read somewhere that there is a shelf life on DEF and it's not good to use it if it's expired. Does anyone else know more about this?

    ATF: Landmark - Mystery switch on 2017 Landmark Newport

    Along that same line. We have a small switch mounted to the left of the door, about 2 inches above the floor that we haven't been able to determine it's use. Any ideas. It's in a 2012 Bighorn 3455RL Thanks, Mark

    Sharp Carousel Convection/Microwave - 2012 Big Horn

    I have a Sharp Carousel Convection/Microwave in my 2012 Big Horn. I absolutely LOVE it. It bakes better than any oven I've ever had! Too bad it isn't a full size oven. The insides are stainless steel and I need to know how to clean it. Because there are holes on the left side, top, and a...

    Prime Time Anytime is on-again, off-again

    The Prime-Time Anytime service just looks like a simple way to record everything on the network channels that you're receiving. But if you're not receiving any, there's nothing to record. But in there lies the rub. We are getting local stations where we are (after calling Dish and giving them...

    Prime Time Anytime is on-again, off-again

    Prime Time Anytime is an exclusive to Dish Network. From 8:00pm to 11:00pm the Hopper automatically records the "locals" - ABC, CBS, NBC, & FOX. The DVR saves these recordings for 8 days unless you save a program to your space on the DVR.

    Prime Time Anytime is on-again, off-again

    Hello, We just had a Winegard Trav'ler and Hopper 3 installed during the Heartland Rally in Goshen. Everything worked fine and, after the first night (while everything was downloading) Prime Time Anytime recorded just like it should for the last 2 nights of the rally. After the rally we moved...

    MORryde Step Installation

    We ordered these stairs from Tweety's RV ($336.00 delivered), got them in 2 days, great service. It took my wife and I about 20 minutes to install them. WOW, are these stairs nice...solid as a rock (and I'm a BIG fellow) no movement at all. They are easy to lift up and down (my wife typically...

    Adding a 2nd AC unit

    LOL,OK, I think I'm closing in on this. In the bedroom, there are 2 vents on either side of the room both are blowing air when the ac is on, so this tells me based on what you guys have said, that my system is the old type of ducted ac. But I should buy a NON-ducted ac unit since the new ac...

    Adding a 2nd AC unit

    I'm pretty sure that the 2012 Bighorn did not have the "ducted Whisper Quiet" system. There are ducts running front to rear but those are only tied in to the main AC unit. Call Heartland once again and ask where the wires for the 2nd AC thermostat are located in the wall. Peace Dave All the AC...

Easy install and solid as a rock, my wife can easily raise and lower them and it's quick and easy to adjust the feet as needed to conform to unlevel ground. By the way, Tweety's...

    Adding a 2nd AC unit

    I don't mean to high jack this thread...just wasn't sure where to ask this question. I'd like to add a second AC unit (in the bedroom, first unit is in the rear in the Living room). There is already a vent above the bed and there is also a thermostat mounted (it might be for the fantastic fan)...
