Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow.

Good catch, but yes I did :)

We've been using City water for the past 6 months with no issues. The RV park just shut the water off until April (they shut the water off for the winter months). They leave one water faucet on so people can fill up. Well we filled the fresh tank and I switched the tank lever to "Normal" (We...

Found the leak and fixed it. The outside kitchen on the door side was busted at the pipes, water was leaking out there and running across the RV to the off-door side leading me to believe that the leak was over there. 10 mintues, fixed. Thanks for the replies!

Well I found out the line that runs through the same hole as the gas line is the ice maker line. I shut the valve for the ice maker off near the water pump, but it's still leaking from that location.

Thank you for the reply. I shut the valve to the icemaker off behind the UDC, still leaks. I then opened the fresh water tank drain, nothing came out. Turned on City Water, still leaks. The water is coming through a hole in the bottom of the floor that the gas line for the stove runs through. So...

When we hook up to City water and turn the city facuet on, water leaks from two places from underneth the kitchen slide. I removed the underbelly but all the pipes under there are working fine. The leak must be coming from an area that is above the underbelly but under the floor. It is behind...

Would a damaged water heater stop me from getting water out of the faucets? How can I check to see if the water heater is damaged?

Thanks for the replies. Everything is thawed out. I went outside last night and noticed a big puddle of water under the RV where the fresh tank is located. Not sure what that is about...So I opened the fresh tank drain valve and water flows out, then I go and turn the faucets on inside, nothing...

We are in Omaha, NE. We have a 2012 Big Country 3690SL. The temps stay below 20 and often times falls to single digits. We have an electric heater in the basement next to the water pump and a water holding tank (not sure if its the fresh, black, or gray #1 tank). We also have a thermostate in...

We went to hook up and leave last night but the front landing gears will not retract. They will only extend, but when I press the button to retract the gears, they do nothing. I tried to use the remote control to retract them, but it also didn't work. We have a 2012 Big Country.

Anybody know how to get sat. to the 3690SL outside bistro TV? I read somewhere that it would have the same feed as the living room TV, but I haven't found that to be true.

I got the plastic out using the nipple tool (Thanks!). I replaced the check valve but it still leaks at the connection of the brass water hose connection and the gray knob that connects the hose to the check valve. Also, when I switch the water to City, it leaks a lot from underneath the UDC...

In attempting to remove the check valve from the water heater, the plastic check valve broke in half. Some of the valve is STILL lodged / screwed into the water heater, preventing me from putting in the new valve. Any idea/suggestion as to how I can get it screwed out, being there is no exposed...

Its a Suburban & the lever is in the UDC.

We do have a regulator at the facet, what is a good PSI to have it set at? Thanks for all of the helpful information.

I filled the water tank and we are now using the water as if we were boondocking. Water pump on, hot water heater bypassed / off. The hose that connects INTO the hot water heater (at the top) came out, that is where the leak was. It wasn't all the way in. But it's not fitting back in now.

"Turn off gas and water"? Can we not use the stove or water from the tank? Or did you mean turn off water heater electric AND water heater LP?

We have a Big Country 3690SL and are connected to shore power. I noticed water leaking from underneath our RV frame. I took the basement access panel off and noticed there was a leak where the water enters the hot water heater. I switched the water heater to bypass, came inside and turned the...

Re: Big Country 2690 A/C (Dometic) keeps cycling on/off Thanks for the info, I keep forgetting about the guide section!

Our living room A/C keeps turning off, about 3 seconds later turns back on. The compressor isn't going, just the fan. The only way to have it shut off is to turn the A/C off. If the temp. reaches the set temp. on the thermostat, the compressor shuts off but the fan keeps running. I don't think...

Probably a dumb question BUT... We have the BC 3690SL with the Genesis 2.0 and the Toshiba TV in the living room. How do we get the TV to play through the surround sound? Do we need to connect the GT2.0 to the TV or is it already connected? The Radio works, but we can't figure out how to get...

Does it matter where the power inverter is installed for a DTV SWM? I was thinking I would install the inverter in the UDC and then run cable to a 2 way splitter then to the bedroom and living room prewired outlets in the UDC. Not sure if that will work or not. Thanks!

Good idea! I'm going to claim the basement as mine! But seriously, all are great ideas to help stay organized. Todd

Thanks for the tips. I'll contact my dealer tomorrow and ask about the heat pads on the tanks. We are going to get a skirt from rvskirting.com but afraid it's going to take 2-3 weeks to get. We are getting 25 degree weather next week, so I'm going to try and survive until we get the skirt...

Well we have been researching fulltiming for over 2 years now and the time is NOW. We just purchased a Big Country 3690SL and have our walkthrough on Thursday. Our situation and our decision is a little unique. I am Active Duty Military and we got tired of wasting money on rent. We researched...

The reason I was going to use the dish we currently have at home is because were are going to fulltime and will be out of the house. So let me see if I have this right: 1. Get a heavy duty tripod from tv4rv.com http://tv4rv.com/sunshop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=13 2. Get a satellite finder...

Thanks for all of the info. It's a wealth of knowledge!

Hello everyone. We just purchased a 2012 Big Country 3690SL. We have not had the "tour" from the dealer yet, but I've been reading everything I could find on Satellite in RVs. We currently have DirecTV at our home and my *plan* is to get a tripod and take the dish/ 1 reciever from the house. We...
