    Water Heater Feature

    Situation: We operate our HW heater on propane and electric when we need quick recovery (wife and I shower back to back). After our showers, I shut the propane switch off. Sometimes I forget to shut the propane off, and sure enough, about 2:00am I hear the propane burner kick on, using...

    3690SL Outdoor bistro conversion.

    We ordered our 3690 without the bistro. Here are some pics of the 4gal hot water installed. I am using a 3 way valve to draw hot water off the main hot water heater when we are dry camping, when we are on shore power this gem will deliver hot water to the rear kitchen immediately. It will also...

    WARNING for bed mat users - please read!

    This little piece of information might save a life. Situation: Towing on the Interstate, a strong head wind caused bed mat to flop around. The bed mat knocked the 7 - way plug loose, not all the way out. I did not know this until we exited the interstate, and attempted to get 20K + lbs to stop...

    Level-up Landing Pad Idea

    Apply Rhino spray bed liner to the bottom of landing pad. This will increase friction when leveling on asphalt or smooth concrete, especially in the rain. Just wondering if the coating would hold up.

    Why are 50 amp female twist connectors so expensive?

    Lowest price I've found is over $80 and that's without the water proof jacket. Come on folks a hundred bucks for a plug. I bet they figure if you can afford the coach this connector plugs into, you can afford the connector. OK, rant over, thanks for listening.

    Reclaim antifreeze?

    Just a thought, I hate throwing money down the drain, pun intended. I would rather spend the $15 on a good Hefeweizen.

    24" Gas (convertable to propane) Dryer

    Has anyone been able to find a 24" gas dryer in the USA? I found one in the UK. How great it would be to use a dryer running on LP. After some research, looks like we could do 20-25 loads on 1 - 30lb tank, based on 92,000btu per gal of LP.

    3690SL New Interior - A deal breaker

    Just received a call from our dealer. Cherry is the only color we've been told could be ordered. Betty and I are really disappointed :(. This dark color is cold and impersonal. Maybe they will bring back the warm and cozy light oak in 2014. Until then, the search continues. New Cherry Living...

    Big Country 3690 Bedroom A/C excessive vibration.

    While looking at B/C 3690 the Bedroom 2nd A/C while operating cause a terrible rumble. This seemed to resonate in the bathroom. Is this normal? Has anyone experienced this? Also, is the 2nd A/C necessary? We don't plan on staying anywhere where the temperature is greater than 80 deg.

    Big Country 3690 Washer Dryer Space

    Has anyone stacked a washer and dryer in their 3690? While looking at this model, I measured the height at 63" (without shelf), it looks like I would need 66-67" to stack the W/D. The area directly below is raised, I am hoping it can be modified to give me the additional clearance.
