    Exchange LED awning lights with dimable color changing lights

    Has anyone changed the awning led lights with dimable lights? When I talked to the factory rep they told me that the current led lights on our 2017 BH were not dimable. I had thought about getting a dimmer switch only. But with this info I decided maybe I should just exchange the whole strip...

    Storage box for behind theater seating.

    We didn't feel it was wasted space just wanted a way to get to items that we put back there without having to crawl on our knees to get to it. By the way the overall length of the seats is about 6 ft so it doesn't stick out and there is plenty of room to pull it out cause you don't have to pull...

    Reese fifth wheel wear on inside pivot

    It was always stored in a garage and creased. I've always had some issues with the hitch. But no longer B&W is installed and like I said smooth as silk. Anyone needing a Reese that fits ford make me an offer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Reese fifth wheel wear on inside pivot

    I finally gave up on my Reese elite. After having so many problems with hooking and unhooking including it coming loose and dropping the 5th wheel on my bed I said enough. Bought the B&W rvk3300 and already think it's a better hitch and I've only done a test hook up. Sent from my iPhone...

    Fix my own screen door.

    My local glass shop cut the radius for me for 6.50 a cut. It was a 3 1/2 radius. But I made a cardboard template from door for them to use.

    Fix my own screen door.

    Here are some pics of my mod for the screen door. The bottom and middle pieces are stationary right now. They fit into inside groove of the door. The top glass is removable. It barley fits the groove on the sides but fits into the groove at top and ledge at bottom. For the bottom glass the top...

    Prospective Owners 3160EL

    We just picked our 3160EL up the first of march and boy we really love the room. We had a 2012 3070rl. We had the factory flip the bathroom door to open from the right and I'm glad we did. I put one of those magnetic door stops on the wall and door and that works great. I think you'll really...

    We just picked up our 3160 which has coffered ceilings and ours has the fantastic fan in kitchen. But to answer the question how do you exhaust the kitchen. The new convection/microwave has a range vent in it.

    Thats what I noticed traveltiger and the bottom of front is gold also. Amazing how things change at the factory. I guess ordering a fifth wheel is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get. Lol

    looking for new 5th wheel hitch

    Happy, I take it that you like your B&W better than your Reese? I've have a 2012 F350 and the Ford Reese hitch and I hate it. Been thinking of getting the B&W companion to fit the puck system on the truck.

    New storm door for Heartland luxury line of fifth wheels.

    Ok so I went and took a picture of this door I saw on sob today. It looks like the other brand has made or has had made aluminum frames for the lexan panels that are removable.

    New storm door for Heartland luxury line of fifth wheels.

    We had our door modified like yours Nabo on our old 3070 but the top glass removal was very clunky. The one we saw on the cedar creek worked just like a house storm door where the glass stored in the door. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New owner, intros and a question

    Roger look into the TPMS system I like mine and it had a model that you load an app on your phone and it sends the info to your phone via Bluetooth. It can run in the background or you can have it displayed. It gives audible alerts either way. I have been very impressed with there customer...

    New storm door for Heartland luxury line of fifth wheels.

    We were at a local CedarCreek dealer and happened to notice what a nice screen/storm door they have. It has plexiglass panels the can be removed to only have the screen. Would be a great feature to have.

    Want to make wood valances for our new 3160EL

    Thanks all for the replies. I had thought about doing it that way too. Since we still have our 3070 in the driveway (holding for couple who bought it) I thought I would measure and pattern them since they are made the way you guys did. That way I don't have to worry about the wood type and...

    New LED steps!

    We saw these when we took the tour back in Sept 16 and they looked like they were solar cause I didn't see any wiring and there appeared to be little solar panels on them. I also called my dealer today since our new 3160 is in paint and should be delivered by end of the month and asked if we...

    Have you been gutted like a deer too?

    Just to add a check point to this thread. We had warranty work done on our trailer shortly after we got ours and the dealer had to cut the coroplast to fix the problem. I didn't have any problem till a year later and then the tape they used wouldn't hold. Since that time the coroplast has not...

    Cudos to Goodyear and Lang's Tire and Auto in Amarillo TX.

    They were marathons and were not from the factory. I put them on a little over a year ago on another trip where I had 2 blowouts on the left side which were the factory tires. Our bighorn is a 2012. Sad thing is we were going to come home and put it up for sale because we are considering on...

    On our last trip in September to AZ we had a blow out first on the right front then on the left rear of or Bighorn. Did $2900 worth of damage to trailer. These tires were only a little over a year old and only had about 5k miles on them. But Thanks to Mr. Lang's suggestion of keeping the one...
