    I think my sw12de wh just took a dump.

    Water dripping out of the bottom of the rig right underneath the wh. Pulled the basement wall and saw no other obvious signs of leakage. Turned on the by pass and drained the tank. Turned on the water, no leaks. In big bend NP, so we'll have to go with the heat water on the stove and shower at...

    HELP. Landing gear switch broke

    Dan, sorry to keep bothering you but still can't get it. To make this go either way, i have to connect blue & red together and either green(up) or yellow(down). I have tried the jumper wires B&R in the positions on your diagram and the Y&G in the others, all I get is the solenoid on the ram...

    HELP. Landing gear switch broke

    I have a 2012 3685 and the landing gear switch took a dump. The nearest parts place gave me a switch with 2 of the 6 connections jumped. That's fine there are only Blue, Yellow, Green and red on the trailer wiring. But seems in any configuration it's not elevating. I hear motors buzzing when...

    Out with the Blowmax / In with the G614's

    I had 2 blowouts and 2 that developed blisters on the inside of the rims. I switched to geostar tires. Les Schwab ordered them for me. 235 85 16, 14 ply metal casing. My 3585 pulls so much better, way less sway in corners and wind. 3000 miles and no issues.

    SOLVED: No AC power at microwave outlet

    Re: No power at microwave outlet. Quick update, this morning there was power on that line at the outlet, so go figure!! I hadn't gotten into the junction boxes under the slides yet, so I'm sure I'll run into it again down the line. I really appreciate everyone at HOC, and the great help that...

    Re: No power at microwave outlet. Thanks everyone. I plugged the microwave into a separate source in the trailer and the microwave works fine. I took the outlet out of the cupboard and there is no power at the outlet. I took the panel cover off and checked the power at the breaker and that is...

    SOLVED: No AC power at microwave outlet

    I am currently plugged in to 30 amp shore power at my beach house. After I hooked up I had power everywhere, then my wife noticed this morning that the microwave wasn't working. I have checked all of the breakers, shut off and then turned on the microwave breaker and there is still no power to...

    Banff/Canmore Alberta CG's

    We're planning to spend 1-2 weeks in Banff NP and are looking for a good campground for a 39' 5th wheel. Is there anything that's NOT right next to the train tracks? If not, any suggestions for further afield campgrounds within easy driving distance? This will be our first trip to the...

    Best campgrounds- Glacier near Apgar, Grand Teton, Sun Valley

    We're planning a trip up to the Canadian Rockies via Idaho, Cranbrook, Golden, Banff as far as Jasper, then back down through the Okanagon to Washington in Aug/Sept. We can take several weeks (5-6?) and would very much appreciate some "local knowledge" about where there are good RV parks. We...

    FOUND: Burning Electrical Smell this morning

    Re: burning electrical smell this AM Thank you all for the help. This forum is awesome. The connection for the wire that controls the overhead lights in the coach was loose at the back of the fuse block. It got so hot that the wire turned a little brown at the back of the fuse block. What I...

    FOUND: Burning Electrical Smell this morning

    Re: burning electrical smell this AM Also the little soldered spot to the left of the fuse is usually shiny and the one next to the #2 fuse has discolored to grey. Seems that would indicate it got overheated...yes?

    Crowsnest Pass , Alberta, Canada

    Just saw your post, we are coming up to Canada from Oregon in September. Is it alright to boondock in Canada? Any suggestions for acceptable places that we won't get kicked out of in the middle of the night? We'd only be doing it once or twice a week likely. We're coming up from Vancouver...

    ATF: Bighorn - bedroom slide leaks on '12 3585RL

    Ian from HL customer service was attentive and interested in solving the problem. He seems to think the wax Norco has provided to my dealer/service people will solve the problem. He was also very concerned about some of the sloppy caulking done on the outside of the wiper seals, that my dealer...

    ATF: Bighorn - bedroom slide leaks on '12 3585RL

    Kary, I really, really appreciate your assistance. Do you need my cell or do you have it from my profile? You know the service manager at the dealer where we bought it has apparently talked to the factory a number of times from what he's told me....... Thanks again, Scott

    ATF: Bighorn - bedroom slide leaks on '12 3585RL

    The rubber pads on ours are fixed against the rig and don't come loose as yours shows in the photo, so that doesn't seems to cause the problem on ours.

    ATF: Bighorn - bedroom slide leaks on '12 3585RL

    That's not been my experience so far. I have seen no rubber traveling out when the slide is going out. So Dave that is the only time it leaks, and no problem with the front end of the slide? Did it start right from the day you bought it and did the dealer address the problem?

    ATF: Bighorn - bedroom slide leaks on '12 3585RL

    Since the day we bought our rig in Dec of 2011 we have had a leak coming down the wall inside the front and rear of the bedroom slide when it's raining outside. Our dealer has been more than willing to take it in and try and fix it, but it's still in the shop after 4 attemps and 6 months. Now...

    Yeah, I saw that. An $8.00 daily charge seems pretty steep to me. We will be coming and going since we have a concert at Red Rocks to see and the national park we want to visit. Probably will stay longer at another park and I have lot's of ideas where to stay from this forum, so that's great...

    Colorado State Parks

    We are traveling to a concert at Red Rocks in Colorado in August with our 38.5 foot Bighorn 5er. Does anyone have any experience staying at the state parks in CO? Specifically whether we will fit in the sites height and length wise. My old Woodalls says nothing longer than 35ft, state park...

    Things to look for on delivery

    We bought our 3585 locally on Dec 5th, and it was cold so the dealer persuaded me to forgo hooking up the city water. Bad decision, first outing we had leaks behind the control center for the city water and the black tank flush. Had strong propane odor too in the basement and they found 2...

    So we took it to the Long Beach peninsula in WA for 3 days last week, and as soon as I hooked up the city water it leaked. I opened the basement storage it had a strong smell of propane, when I went to use the saniflush on breaking camp it leaked......I was not happy. But it's my own fault...

    Firead1, I tow with an '02 Duramax, only mod is the airbags. But seems to haveb enough HP at this point. The challenge will be when we head down to Tucson in Feb. I am thinking about getting a chip put in it though.

    Tow vehicle

    Would my 02 2500 duramax pull a 2011 grand canyon ok? it has air bags, but no other mods. What mods would you recommend if it won't do well stock? I pull a little 24ft Komfort now so this would be a BIG jump for us.
