Thanks for the replies from everyone. I did finally, after considering the aforementioned replies, decide. on replacing with 2 group 27 flooded batteries from Interstate where I happened upon a good deal of $100/battery out the door (two for less than the cost of one AGM). My old batteries...

Not 100% sure but, I think Fox was referring to carrying the 5 gallons of water for “potty emergencies.” We have 2 one gallon water containers (easier for the DW to handle rather than a large container) that we keep available to use to flush toilet if the need arises. Since we full time in our...

I surrender and must go to the forum for help with selecting new batteries for my BigHorn. I see that according to the dimensions of my current batteries there are several Groups that have similar dimensions so which one is best for my rig? Also, when I search for battery reviews I search for...

On one side of your rig you have a propane tank and the automatic change over selector/regulator. The auto selector has a lever to change which tank you are currently drawing off of. On the other side of your rig, you will have a tank and a pressure reducing valve, mine were red but that is...

Re: Power Awning Died?? That’s what keeps us young and active and great exercise for our brains. Glad you got it fixed Ken

Just renewed mine for the first time yesterday. For some reason, was unable to renew on line. Vision test and new photo...good to go for another 6 years. Class A renewal on line something new and everyone at DPS unsure why I couldn’t renew on line. Mine had a motorcycle endorsement also so...

I use a waterless cleaning product called WashnWax when on the road. Many CGs don’t allow RV/TV washing. Does a good job on the road grime or routine dust your rig collects over time. Not for heavy mud situation. I have used Cameco’s Wash/Wax solution when I can use water and it does a...

Put ours on cover above burner to diffuse the intense heat and keep from burning bottom of dishes. Don’t know reason for putting it below burner. Maybe the ones asking about your location are just trying to learn from your experience.

Would be interested in class if there isn’t anything else going on

I agree with you Bobby, just be sure to share the plans, photos, etc. of your project so others may learn

If by “booster” you mean a small button that will turn on/off a small red light, that is he antenna booster and when it is on, signals from the roof antenna are passed to the TV BUT will not pass cable signals. By the same token, when the booster is off it will pass signals from the outside...

Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this modification but I have a few of questions. 1. By “the landing gear switch that controls the current to the motor,”. Are you referring to the switch near the pin box that controls the up/down movement of the front jacks? 2. Where did you get the new...

Not sure if I know exactly what you men by “cabinet doors breaking from shock/hinges.” If you are referring to the hinges pulling away from the cabinet doors because that plastic insert where the screws that hold the hinge to the door are pulling out, there is a simple fix. When those inserts...

Sorry for this intrusion in the thread but, the picture of that happening really made me smile...trying to imagine what I would do if my rig suddenly seemed to have a mind of its own...I know I would be running around like a chicken with it’s head gone..:confused:

Another option with your insurance is “Declared Value.” With replacement cost valuation, as I understand it, your premium will go up each year due to the increase in how much the insurance will have to pay out (increase in value of property insured.). With Declared Value, I set mine at what I...

John, that is one of the reasons I don’t leave my grey lines open. I read about this problem on the Escapees Forum when we were just getting started on this full-time journey we are on.

Was the ice maker working prior to now? Did you just purchase the rig? If so, then someone, prior owner/dealer, may have shut off water supply during winterization process. OOPs, Cookie must have been responding at the same time...What he said;)

Thanks again for the info...I do have that tool so will skip the install kit

OK, I’m officially throwing in the towel. Dave, when I push thee ‘Mark Forums read” tab I am directed to the ‘Forum” page but no change in the way threads are displayed in the “What’s New” category. Previous to the addition of Bette’s iPad, when I went to the “WN” tab i got this bold heading...

Thank you for sharing this info, I’m probably going to invest in a pair of these and then a genny. I do have one question, did you purchase the “installation kit?”

You are very correct, I omitted mentioning that I also carry a tube of grease with the bearing kit...wouldn’t leave home without it.;)

I will be waiting for your report when the second switch is installed and tested. Thank you for sharing this info

Dave, where would that button be?

Jodi, I know you are just looking for different patterns because you won’t find one there more beautiful than the ones you make.

I have carried an extra set of bearings and the tool set from Harbour Freight since day one. I haven’t needed it on the road yet. I do use the tools when I repack my bearings at our winter home. I really carry the extra bearings in case I would have one go bad at night, or on a weekend, when...

So, for my continuing education and to confirm the reviews I read on their site, if these EZ Start switches are installed on both my A/Cs, I would be able to run both of them on 30 amp shore power, or run one of them on a smaller generator? I gather from the company web site that installing...

I thought of that Erika, but the older posts with “unread posts” always showed up with multiple page numbers appearing at the bottom. For some reason, the recent issue, now gone, was only one additional page would show up. So, only about 20 threads would be available to read, some “new” and a...

I’m with you Jerrod, I couldn’t see therm either. Even when the inner, moving, tube had extended out so far it dented my J-wrap, it didn’t seem to be out far enough to clear the outer, non-moving, tube to see a roller. Dave, I don’t want to be a bother and I am usually fairly quick to catch on...

If I even implied such a thing, I’d be afraid to close my eyes at night.:cool: - - - Updated - - -

Signed in today, as usual, and there was a difference in the “What’s New” folder. Today, there was only about 20 threads available with some of those threads being new and then the break indicating the following threads were not new but contained unread posts. Yesterday, and all days before...

Lou and I would like to find a place to go for about a month or 2 in the summer of 2019. Would love to spend time with other Heartlanders. Any body have plans where the weather is not to hot, that wouldn’t mind having us around? Upper Penisula in Michigan, Oregon, Flagstaff. Open to suggestions...

Thanks Dan, I knew I saw that term/part when I was looking for the part number I needed but couldn’t remember where I saw it. Now, to find the things.

Thank you for the info...I will start looking for them.

Dave, I noticed, while I was researching the correct part number for my gears, the “wear tabs.” I didn’t notice these during my repair but, I will admit I wasn’t really looking for them since my focus was on the repair itself. Where are these wear tabs located; what would indicate “excessive...

Re: Slide with broken gear tooth-FIXED Update...Gears arrived today, ordered two so that I would have a spare. However, I got a big surprise when I began the repair, the dynamic side of the slide gear had TWO broken teeth next to each other (I will try to attach photos.) The repair went...

Re: Slide with broken gear tooth Dave and Jerrod, thanks for the advice on repair, I certainly will pay attention to the points you make. First, as was suggested, I think I remember the teeth not being exactly centered so that may have been the cause of the broken gear tooth. What I don’t...

Before you order the flex tool, did the original owner/dealership leave a plastic pouch with manuals/brochures in the rig for you? If so, empty that pouch and look in the bottom for the flex tool. You may not be able to feel it without emptying it.

Re: Slide with broken gear tooth Jim and Dave, thanks for the replies. I spoke with LCI customer service this morning to; a) confirm the part number, and b) replacing just the spur gear. LCI representative indicated I had the correct part number and that the gear could be replaced without...

We got to Clute Park and Campground yesterday and when we attempted to put the slides out, the main kitchen slide really messed up. Loud popping noises and went out at an angle. Retracted the slide and tried to “help” rear end, lagging side, by pushing on it as it extended. Still didn’t...

The only way I get any exercise. Oh, that and pushing my Luck. :rolleyes:
