    Auto-switching propane system?

    I have the exact switching valve and auto-switching doesn't work for me.. if I have it pointed to the tank I want it to draw from, when that tank runs out, it doesn't switch to the alternate, although it did show red in the viewer.. probably defective, but proved to be a pain this past summer...

    Question about a drained battery

    My Bighorn with the Yeti option drains ~4 amps even when it's turned off. I discovered this while troubleshooting a quicker than expected battery drain while dry camping. It absolutely shouldn't do that but I think it would take a lot of effort to trace this problem to the source, so I just...

    Battery Connections for Inverter and 12V systems

    Thanks for the reply Jim. After researching this a bit more, B does look like the way it should have been done in the first place. I will probably make this chnage this weekend (if it doesn't snow). I really miss San Antonio.... Cheers, PW

    Inverter Question on where power will be supplied

    I dry camp ~75% of the time and I installed my inverter (MS2812) as a whole-house setup. When dry camping, i just make sure the fridge is set to propane, and I don't use things with excessive draw (A/C, fireplace, 110V heaters). It's probably the easiest and most convenient of the setups as it...

    Battery Connections for Inverter and 12V systems

    Hello, I'm wondering what the recommended way is to hook up the 12V side to a system with an inverter with a battery monitor and controller. 'A' shows how it currently is (my inverter was installed by 3rd party), but the battery monitor is blind to the load placed on it by the RV 12V systems...

    Frozen Batteries

    Thanks for replies. Would it be reasonable to expect the dealer to replace them since the RV was in their possession for warranty work when they froze? Thanks

    Frozen Batteries

    Hello, I brought my BH to a dealer for warranty work. They had it for about a month, and over that time, the 4 Trojan 6v batteries completely discharged and froze since we had a cold snap of about -30F for about a week while they had it. The dealer recommended thawing the batteries and hooking...

    LCI Remote Charger

    Thanks for the replies. I assumed that most any mini-usb connection would have worked, so thanks for confirming that. I've tried several usb wall-wart chargers, as well as cables to my pc and laptop and the thing just wont charge and/or power up. When I first got it 8 months ago, I eventually...

    LCI Remote Charger

    Hello, Would anyone with an LCI remote (the one that's about 2 inches wide, 3 inches tall, with the single silver button on the bottom) let me know what the charter output voltage and current as listed on the charter itself is. I seems to have lost mine and can't seem to charge the remote with...

    What Are These Wires For?

    Hello, 2013 3010RE - This wire is coiled up in the bedroom closet next to the antenna booster. What are they for? Thanks! Pete

    Fuse Panel Question

    Hi Keith, I'm wondering what the final outcome of this was. I have that same problem with that same fuse, although it was always just 15A. At first it would just blow fuses now and then.. but now it's just completely shorted somewhere. I guess I have to go back to the dealer (again)... Pete

    Howdy! - "Places I've Been" Decal

    Folks, Just curious... when it comes to the 'Places I've been' decal you see on many RV's, what's the general consensus, places that particular RV has been, or places you've RV'd in over your lifetime? Happy Trails! PointyWombat

    First time Boondocking

    We dry camp a lot, and the best advise I can give is to closely monitor your battery so you get a feel for how much power you're consuming. Like previously stated, a single 12v wont go very far, so get yourself a voltage meter of some sort, and an amp meter if you want to dig deeper into your...

    Inverter Install Tips

    Why does anyone install an inverter? To have 110v. I don't know about your BigHorn which is the same as mine it appears, but the only 12V in my 5th is the lights & fans, and the ancillary for fridge, etc.. There are zero 12v outlets in there. Even the radio is 110v, and yes, the TV as well. I...

    Inverter Install Tips

    I'm in Chestermere, just east of Calgary. I saw your post on YouTube on your LED lights. I think you're around Red Deer, no? Yeah, the other option I have is to get it installed privately outside of a dealer, but finding someone locally may be the challenge. It is soft of a specialty thing I...

    Adequate Charger - PD9260 (60AMP) With 4 x 6V Trojan Batteries

    Hello, I've recently taken delivery of a BH3010RE and looking to add house batteries. Is the stock PD9200 60Amp converter/charger adequate to properly charge a bank of 4 X T-105 V6 batteries (wired to provide 12V)? Any and all comments appreciated! Thanks, PointyWombat

    New Bighorn 3010RE owner

    Hey Phatkd, Just wondering what kind of PDI checklist you used? We pick up ours in 1 week and will need to start looking for 'what to check' as well... unfortunately, it'll be going straight from the dealer, to an RV storage facility... thoughts?
