    Securing Your Batteries

    Jim, Since you mentioned that you can weld, I will mention what I did. I was also concerned with the weight distribution on the sheet metal in the front compartment. I use two 6 volt lead acid batteries with a box, but the mounting is the topic. I made a frame the size of my battery box out of...

    Stud Finder

    John, Did you try it on the roof? I bought a Zircon stud finder when I installed my solar panels and sat dish on the roof and could not make sense of the results. Could not find any "rafters" just some heavier supported areas. FYI - the factory did not have a drawing for my BH 3185 Buck

    A new water leak every week ?

    mrmorris, This would probably not apply to your situation because youare full timing, but I wanted to pass it along in case it may help others. Ialso have had a few leaks, not many, but even a few is too many. I just found out that I may have been causingthe leaks myself. I was working in the...

    Questions on the 3070 & 3185...

    Wow, the 2013s are out already! Seems like we just got our 2012 3185. We had the same decisions to make when we selected ours. We chose the 3185 because of the living area and gave up a little space in the bedroom. It looks like the layout is probably identical, so I will comment on your...

    Looking for secondary power panel

    Marv, Key West – I am jealous. I have not been there in several years, but looking forward to going back when I can consider retirement in a few years. I saw a park on Sunshine Key, but did not know there any options in Key West. I am also installing an inverter, but I decided to only separate...

    ATF: Bighorn - Fresh Water Loss

    Hoefler, Sorry for the late reply, I was in Las Vegas for a few days (Pronounced “Lost Wages”). FYI, my system is the new pressure fill for the fresh water tank. That is why I am real concerned about not restricting the vent capability. I would hate to blow my tank apart! I looked around the...

    ATF: Bighorn - Fresh Water Loss

    hoefler, When I get back I will check again, but I am pretty sure mine does not have an additional vent in the UDC. The vents are by the wheels, one on each side. With the amount of water loss I had, I suspect the vents on the tank are on the ends of the tank and not in the middle top of the...

    ATF: Bighorn - Fresh Water Loss

    Yes, I actually filled the tank to the overflow. Our friend was right behind us and saw the water coming out from whichever side was on the outside of the curve. Our rig has a vent coming out above the frame, one on each side. When I pulled into a shopping center I also saw the water flowing out...

    ATF: Bighorn - Fresh Water Loss

    We just took our new (2012) 3185RL out for its first dry camping excursion last week. Everything went very well, but we noticed one peculiar item. We filled the fresh water tank and headed to the camp site, when we arrived we only had 2/3 of a tank left. I was told by a friend that every time I...

    ATF: Bighorn - Drain or vent on 3185RL

    Thanks for all the help! I have the high pressure tank fill, so that makes sense that they are overflow vents.

    ATF: Bighorn - Drain or vent on 3185RL

    Just received my 2012 3185RL! I had it delivered, so I did not get the benefit of the dealer walk through. While looking everything over, I noticed two barbed connections coming out over the frame from the underbelly. The one on the passenger side is just behind the axels, the one on the driver...
