Why is such a new rig on the used lot? I know things can happen after new purchase but makes one wonder why original owner got rid of it.

Re: ATF: Bighorn - Coax issues If your BH is like ours, the LR TV is in the kitchen slide. Go under the slide and gently open those black plastic wire/cable protection sleeves until you find the one that encloses the Sat/OTA cables. Follow that sleave back to where it exits the frame and undo...

My 18 volt 1/2” Ryobi impact driver works very well for me and has for 5+ years...of course, it dosn’t get all that much use.

My 15 BH is the same but master switch AND switch on each individual light must be on for them to work

After the same recommendation from Jon, I had these installed on my F450 DRW and have been very satisfied with their performance

After being stationed at Ft. Wainwright in Fairbanks for 3 years, I knew!

I have to confirm NYS issue...I am using an iPad and, on certain photos, I need to backup completely and restart looking at the thread to continue. On these photos, I can’t see a “previous, next, or close” button so have to do the back button until I am at the original listing of threads and...

Same as mine...scratched the glass slightly, then applied clear Gorilla glue and held for 2+ years.

Gooooooo figure, a government employee who is il-equipped to do the job. When will the madness ever cease.

Kathi, are you getting the cold air flow when the furnace is completely shut down? When our furnace first kicks on, the fan, no flame yet, runs for approximately 45 seconds and then flame ignition occurs and air is heated and moved through the vents. After the set temperature is reached, the...

Don’t have onboard generator so have room for these shelving/drawer system from the Container Store. I can’t pull out the bottom drawer but access that stuff by taking the drawer above out.

If it is broken teeth on the cog gear, replacement gears can be found on Amazon. That’s where I got mine and over night shipping was available. Need to know how many teeth on the gear as there are apparently two different styles.

Sorry Fast, just now getting back to the forum after being away for a few days...surgery on Wed. The item Bill posted looks similar to the one I have but doesn’t connect right at the tank. It has been a couple of years since I installed mine and don’t remember if it came with a connector and...

Tammie, check at the bottom, inside and out, of your window frame for the small horizontal slits. If they are blocked, or have been smashed closed, then water in the window channels can not drain to the outside. It is possible that the moisture from condensation on your windows is overflowing...

If the regulator you are referring to looks like those posted by Marc, I have another suggestion for its replacement. I, like you, had to change this regulator on both of our rigs. When the regulator went out on the BH, nobody locally had one in stock and I had no time to wait for one to be...

Big, are you referring to the regulator that controls which tank is in service, or are you referring to the small 30psi regulator in the line on the opposite side from your change over regulator?

Jay, it’s not only rallies but any long term stay. We have an extremely hard time finding a park near our son in Ft. Worth that will give us a reservation for the 6-8 weeks we want to stay there. The usual excuse is they have all the long term sites filled with workers and only have short term...

No problem Ray. There are several different brands on the market but I can personally recommend the Swivelwheel. I have towed one for 3 years, all over the U.S., without problems.

Michael, we are, and have for the past 7 years, wintering near Biloxi. As Dan mentioned above, I cleared the water line for the ice maker as the temps usually get their coldest during Jan/Feb and that line is fairly exposed. You will have colder temps in St. Louis area but can get some...

Al, I would recommend that on the other tank you turn off the valve and disconnect the pig tail. When this happened tp mine, I heard a slight click when I loosened the pigtail. May not be necessary but I didn’t want to have to repeat the process. Lou

Thanks for the link, Bill. Sure was educational - - - Updated - - - Thanks for the recommendation Lyle. That was my choice after reading Bill’s info. BUT, can it/should it be sealed as Bill indicated he did? - - - Updated - - - I’ve, thanks for that suggestion, hadn’t thought of that...

I strongly agree with Dave’s response but have two other question? Since it appears, from your description, that this occurs only during the “winter,” is the rig parked in a different location than during the summer? If so, is that site level? Lou

Look at cruiserlift.com regarding a swivel wheel trailer. Get a Landmark/Big Horn and take motorcycle too.

Bill, does the plywood you are recommending come “sealed” or is this something that has to be done by me. If sealing is required after purchasing the wood, what product would you recommend?

For those of you that are having “popping” issues when you operate your slides, be sure to check the cogs because they may have missing or broken. Ours had been doing something similar pretty much since it was new in 2015. This year, while setting up, of course in the rain, in Watkins Glen...

We did live in our Road Warrior for 3 years before we traded for our Big Horn.

Have you thought about installing a battery blanket (heating pad) to keep the battery from freezing since you have shore power available? We used them during the 3 years I was stationed at Fort Wainwight in Fairbanks, AK. Never had problem with battery freezing up and the power draw is minimal.

Thanks for the info Dan and John, looks like my Christmas shopping just got a lot easier.

Thank you Bill and Dan for providing the info on these connectors. I have never heard of them but they look very useful. I think these would make a very practical Christmas present. I did look on both Amazon and EBay for buying options. While browsing the choices, I noticed that the standard...

Unless you check at least once a day EVERY day. That’s what I do and have never run completely out of gas at any time of the day or night. If you only run off one tank at a time, don’t you have to get up “at 3 AM when it’s 10 below zero” to open the other tank when that one runs out?

KB, I think you are asking about getting a discount on campgrounds with a GS membership, if so, using RVparkreviews.com, look up the CGs you are interested in and see if they give discount for GS

Check out the Conainer Store. If you’re luckiy, you have one close and can browse through the plethora of shelving possibilities they have. Go online if you don’t have one close

Gavin, my Q2000 (no temp gauge) is 31” wide with side tables folded in. Lou

First, never run A/C on low fan, use Auto or High fan speed, especially in high humidity situations because low speed will cause unit to freeze up. Pull inside cover to look at condenser fins, if you see ice... frozen up. Turn off and let thaw then follow fan speeds noted above. Not sure if...

Thanks for the assist Dave. Roadjunkie, you don’t need to drop the coroplast, I found my sensor by loosening along the side and, using a broom handle, pushed down the insulation enough to see the sensor laying there. The sensor sits on a small shelf area on one of the cross beams either in...

My BH did the same as the OP, however, I kept manually resetting level and re-zeroing which would work for a time or two and then go crazy. As Dave suggested, my rear sensor had come loose and was laying on the coroplast. Smooth roads = OK, rough roads = reset. Returned sensor to original...

Good point Bill, I do the same thing

Good idea Marc, I usually run my water line to the park water supply and, before I connect to the rig, I run water through the connecting hose and my dual filter set up to clear all the air out of those. Don’t have the sputtering from the faucets that way. I also have DW turn on all our hot...

Gavin, if that wire hanging loose has a flat portion like the male part of a solderless connector, it is probably the freeze sensor probe. Look for a small area on the inside condenser fins where it looks like someone pinched a couple of the fins together...that is where this probe goes...

Exactly what I reported on my thread regarding replacing my batteries. The lugs are actually long hex nuts and the one on my negative (ground) lead was close to falling off. I suggested checking these connections be made to your list of “routine” maintenance items.
