    dometic 3962 acting up

    This is a 2012 Bighorn 3585 with the Dometic 3962 . Have had cooling problems w/both freezer and refer since day one. If its 90 outside the refer set at #4 would only cool down to about 39.

    Turning radius with a shortbed truck.

    I have a 2011 F-350 CC short bed. When I bought my 2012 3585 my salesman told me I didn't need a slider. With that being said I tried to make a sharp turn in their parking lot just to see how close they would get...cab and trailer. I couldn't even get within 75*. The salesman didn't believe me...

    replacing Day/Night Shades with 1.5 inch wood blinds

    Thats who I was dealing with...Lowes. They had nothing for a 16" wide window in a 1.5" blind. They even tried to cut a 23" down and ended up cutting part of mechanism that tilts the blinds. If we wanted a 2" blind it would not be a problem.

    Another battery thread

    Iam full of questions it seems like....Here is one more. By throwing the battery disconnect switch to off does this disconnect the battery from everything, I.E the converter, charger? In another words nothing gets in and nothing gets out?

    Another battery thread

    Does the charger charge 24/7 or is it like a trickle charger? I am thinking about just running a 110 cord to a trickle charger and unplugging the 5th power cord. But if the unit already has that type charger there is no need to. Anybody know? My unit is a 2012 3585.

    Is a slider hitch needed for a 2011 F-350 SB

    I have a 2011 F350 sb, cc. towing a 3585. The saleman told me with the 88* turning raid. I could use a standard hitch. Well, I hooked up and tried to get the 88*, could only get to about 80*.

    does not seem rear ac is cooling right

    Inside the unit the temp is around 80 to 85 with the ceiling fan running. I have had TT, Motorhome and motor yachts and your could hang meat in the main cabin. Like I said the front air is doing great. It almost feels like they forgot to insulate the unit.

    Re: 2012 Big Horn 3585 My Order states 2012. The dealer said that they should be building them now if not within a week and they would hold the order til they start on the 2012's. I really don't think they are changing them at all just minor items. The proof will be when it gets in.
