    Converter failing

    Thank you everyone for your input. I want to let you know what I have done. Short answer: nothing. The battery has been checked and it is fine. The fluctuation in the lights stopped and everything is working as it should. So, to use a phrase from medicine, I am engaged in watchful waiting to see...

    Converter failing

    The battery was my first thought too. It's the original battery so I am assuming it is 5-6 yrs old. Because I live in a remote area it costs me $95 per hour for the RV tech to come over, that's $200 just for him to get here and return. So the plan is for him to check the battery first and...

    Converter failing

    The symptoms are internal lights are brightening and dimming on a cycle. The furnace is also affected. When it comes on it runs faster, then slower on a cycle. The electrical outlets are not affected.

    Converter failing

    My converter is failing and I am going to have it replaced. My rig is a 2011 Big Country 3355. Where is the converter located? I can't find it and the schematic of the rig doesn't help. Also, according to the paperwork the converter model is PDI9260. Is this the correct converter?

    Using Ospho on frame

    I live full time in my Big Country very close to the ocean. Metal rusts fast. I am going to have my frame treated with Ospho. Do any of you have experience using Ospho on your rigs?

    Suburban furnace

    The resonance is from the furnace itself. The floor also vibrates.

    Suburban furnace

    I have a 2011 BC 3355RL with a suburban furnace model SF35. When it kicks on it roars like a jet engine. Is anyone else having this experience? I have never had a furnace make this sound in any other coach I have owned.

    The Ultimate Self Defense Weapon for the RV and Home

    I see bear spray has been mentioned on this thread. I have a caution regarding any aerosol repellent: know which way the wind is blowing before discharge. You may get a full or partial dose yourself and become incapacitated along with the scoundrel. If you can't see him, you can't shoot him. I...

    Water heater switchover

    Thanks fellas, I appreciate you info. It is interesting that I do not have a single piece of paper in my owners kit that says this. All paperwork shows the side-by-side switches that posters have mentioned. When I did my walk- through when I purchased the rig I was told the "heater" switch on...

    Bedroom day/night shades

    I solved my problem by purchasing blackout curtain material over the shades. It works but it is not ideal.

    Water heater switchover

    Thanks John and what you show in your pics make perfect sense. However, the engineer who designed this coach must have taken a break and forgot to do the sensible thing. My propane switch is outside in the shore hookup area next to the grey water and black water tank valves. I have to flip a...

    Bedroom day/night shades

    I have a 2011 BC 3355RL. The shades in the bedroom are single layer which let's in lots of light. I suggest installing day/night shades so the room can be darker.

    Water heater switchover

    I have a 2011 BC 3355 RL. The need to go outside to switch the hot water heater to propane needs rethinking. In the event of the loss of shore power, having to go outside during inclement weather is not user friendly. There should be a switch inside the coach near the electric hot water tank switch.

    Dometic thermostat

    In my 2011 3355 RL the thermostat with regularity will not turn the furnace on if the temp setting is at or below 60 degrees. I have to slide the button down until it clicks and then set it at the desired temperature. Another problem is that the furnace will kick on and blow air but the air is...
