    Fresh water hookup mod.

    Pressure regulator at faucet is all that’s needed, and maybe an in-line filter. Mods are fun, that’swhy we do them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Telescoping ladder

    I’ve had one of those for 7 years. Only used it once. To clean snow off my slide toppers so I could bring the slides in. It was so worth every penny. Easy to store. You’ll never know it’s there until you need it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Pex fittings

    PEX pipe follows the sizing as copper with a twist. Copper pipe, if labeled 1/2”, is 1/2” ID and is 5/8” OD. But, the ID of copper changes a little if you’re using “M”, “L” or “K” copper but the OD remains the same at 5/8” OD. So, PEX has the same OD as copper and Shartbite fitting will...

    D seal around slides

    Just replaced D and double wiper seals on one slide of a 2016 Bighorn. AP Products says same thing, don’t use anything on rubber. Just clean it. After years of putting conditioner on vinyl, rubber, plastic, leather in my car that recommendation seems counterintuitive. Sent from my iPad...

    Generator in Bighorn, Champion 2800 watt

    Generator in Bighorn, Champion 2800 watt

    Sometimes there are questions about what generators people use and the setup. Just thought I’d post what I use for someone’s consideration. Champion 2800w will run one AC or just about everything else. Just not AC and everything else at the same time. Charges batteries pretty quick and is...

    2019 Gateway Pin Box

    When I got my Bighorn I towed it for awhile with the stock pinbox and Ram short bed. We live in a cul-de-sac and making that turn put the front of that 88° cap within an inch of the truck cab. I didn’t like having to wonder how tight of a turn I could make. That’s why I got a Reese 5th...

    Electric water heater noise -- hisses. Stops when switched off.

    Thanks for the link and I read page 8. Still, unless RV water heaters are a lot different than residential water heaters, there is no air gap in water heaters. Is this info from the manufacturer? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Zion national park RV sites

    Ruby’s Inn campground and Zion River Rv park are both really nice parks. Not sure if you could take your trailer through the tunnel in Zion but even if you could I don’t think I’d feel comfortable enough towing through that tunnel. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Slide Toppers?

    Love them but....If there’s enough snow to sag the topper, you’ll have to get up there to clean the snow off before pulling slides in. Other than that they’re great. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Zion River RV is a great choice. Stayed there twice. Bryce is just as good as Zion if not better. In Bryce hike short trail (~2 mi) down in the hoodoos. Drive to the end of the road and take short Bristlecone trail. 2nd oldest living thing (as far as I know). Sent from my iPad using...
