Okay, Milton finally figured it out. Thank you all for your responses and help;). He wrote this down for me to type. If it doesn't make sense to you, please ask for clarification. I admit that it doesn't make sense to me but I am not electrically savvy. Taking apart the flood light assembly on...

Thanks for replying to my post:) Milton has tested every wire in the control panel, none of them light up the floodlights. Still trying to figure it out.:confused:

I have seen several posts on this issue but no resolution or answer to the problem. We have no way to turn on the floodlights because our remote control does not work. We want to wire the floodlights to the control panel and install switches but can't find the wires that go to the floodlights...

Okay; thanks for the input. I think we have to run the smaller AC unit but can't use the convection oven with 30 amps. I guess I thought we'd get more out of them.

I looked thru the archives and couldn't find anything on this issue. We bought the Yamaha 2000i parallel inverter generators prior to our cross-country trip. We have not been able to use them in parallel. Milton called Yamaha and was told that these generators don't work on 120/240 50 amp...

We will be taking the I-15 to Hwy 20 route, thanks for all your input. We are currently in Ogden, just north of Salt Lake City. Tomorrow we will head to the campground in Ashton, Idaho. I will check on the road closure also. We'll do our best to get to the park early, too. Great info from...

Milton and I have been traveling around the country. We left our home in Florida on June 1, stopped in San Antonio, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Sequoia NP, Yosemite NP, Napa Valley and San Francisco. We are on our way to Salt Lake, then to Yellowstone. We have been on some very scary roads (CA-49...

I also put an unglazed cooking stone in my oven. It broke into 3 pieces but still works fine for evening out the oven temp for baking.

Thanks:) I have a T-Mobile hotspot but it doesn't work well outside the southeast. My only issue with Verizon is expense. I also don't want a contract.

It looks like Verizon may be the best way to go. What's the difference between the MYFI 4G and the hotspot, which is $60 per month?

What about out west, in California, Arizona, South Dakota and such? On the coverage maps, it looks like AT&T has better coverage. Can you get a "pay as you go" plan from AT&T or Verizon?

We will be traveling across the country later this year and we're trying to figure out to use for internet service. We currently have a T-Mobile hotspot, but it didn't work well last year when we went to Canada. We have Dish satellite but their internet service requires a 2 year contract and...

Went to Tennessee to visit my friend and met Jim Beletti, he lives next door and we had supper with him and wife, nice couple. Can't wait to see them again.

Re: Very Disappointed Well after waiting for four weeks for our rig to get some issues fix we were happy to received the call yesterday to come and pick it up. So i asked the person on the other side all issues has been?, and he stated, oh yeah. Well the issues were fixed but somebody ran into...

The sink had a crack on it and the drain plug was chip, but they replaced both and a light above the table was broken at delivery time. It took four times before they got the right one. I have noticed that they have a lot of problems ordering the right parts. The rv still at the dealer going on...

We have a 2013 and we have made a few upgrades, but like you had a few problems from factory, broken light fixture over the the table, broken sink and a blow out on the way home from the dealer. Got it in march and have used it 4 times already. But on the last trip got a smell from grey water...

I welded a 2 inch receiver in the front of the truck under the bumper and use a transit bike rack that holds two bikes, the solution is to use bungees to eliminate the movement. DON'T TRUST THE LADDER TO HOLD THE BIKES.

Re: Very Disappointed The GFI have arrived and installed, the problem has not been solved, I guest they are going to keep the the trailer another week trying to figure out where the problem is, I'm not an electrician but I know it can be that difficult to fix.

Just to provide an update... La Mesa still has our BC (I'm having serious withdrawal issues) 3 weeks later. They replaced the GFI outlet and it still trips. Also they still don't know why the water heater doesn't work on 120. Who knows how much longer they'll have it. They fixed the leaking...

We have a 2013 Big Country 3 months old and started to leak on the third time we use it. It has been at the dealer for 3 weeks now, due to the leak is not the only problem, the GFI switch keep tripping and the smell from the grey water tank, that has been fixed, waiting on the GFI switch to come...

Milton and I had renovated our old 5th wheel before we traded it for our BC. I ordered 2" blinds from Blinds Chalet online (good quality and very inexpensive and you can order the sizes you need), put in a tile counter top and backsplash, changed the faucets in kitchen and bath and put in a...

The island have two straps for traveling, I took the wheels off and put 1 and a 1/2 blocks and slide pads for easy moving. In the bedroom that is a cabinet with drawers. We have the king size bed and you have plenty of room to walk around, no need to go with a queen size. We have the 3251 TS...

Right now our Big Country sits at La Mesa RV in Sanford, Fl. This is one of the issues that they will look at. The funny (odd) thing is that we were on our 4th trip in the BC and the first time we ever had that smell. I went to Walmart and bought the Pine Sol and Calgon bath beads, then made the...

I used the subwoofer from the house and I put it in the compartment to the left side of radio with double stick tape so it would not move. The amplifier on the right side, plus a switch to turned the amplifier off due to the radio hook up power at all times, ran the wires through a hole on the...

Thanks for the great responses:) I haven't looked for Calgon bath beads in years, hopefully they're easy to find. I will give these suggestions a try and see which one works the best for us. Thanks again!

What can be used to deodorize the grey tanks? Once they get half full the smell (lovely florida water) is overwhelming.

We are on our 4th trip out right now and we had rain 2 nights ago. We noticed water coming in thru the top of the picture window in the back of our big country. It started out as drips but within a minute we had a waterfall. Milton took the valance and the blind off while I held a towel over the...

Milton and I got the Rand McNally/Camping World 7725 about 2 months ago. So far, we've used it on 3 trips, it's working great. You plug in specific info for your rv and it gives you routes where you won't have any issues with propane, clearance, sharp curves, narrow roads, etc. I have no...

I got the LED lights from Northern Electric, Advance auto stores and Walt Mart have them but they cost more. I placed the extra lights as follows, one on each slide behind the wheels, one by the hot water heater and one up front by the landing gear. I measured from the factory lights to the back...

Well you are right the sound from factory sucks big time, I added a woofer and a car amplifier do to the Genesis 2.o is a 12 volt system and that made a big difference, the other problem is the outside speakers, (low sound do to the distance from the Radio) you could add those speakers to the...

Since Heartland installed LED lights on top of the trailer but all other lights are regular lights, so I replaced all the marking lights and tail lights with LED lights, what a difference that made. I also added 4 more marking lights on each side. My sister said that I have more lights than a...

I want to thank every one for the feed back, I have installed the EMS in the basement and the reader was snaked to the switch panel in the kitchen, so to check the reader all I need to do is open the cabinet door. And the idea of moving the converter it is a good idea, electronics and water...

I searched "homemade antennas" on Google and made the one that uses pvc pipe and 14 gauge copper wire. I found the cable adapter at Radio Shack.

I just build a home made antenna and I wacht HD channels for free, about 55 depending on the location.

Eureka!!! Success:) I looked on the Toshiba support website and on the their forum someone had the same issue. This is what fixed it. On the tv remote, push "menu", then, across the top you see 5 pics, choose the center pic, using the right arrow button, which is "preferences". Scroll down to...

The back of the tv looks different; the video input has blue (bb), green (br), and red (cvbsy) inputs. Also, looking at the input screen, there is no way to go to the right of HD colorstreaming or any of the others. The only options are up and down. The tv model is 40E220U. The radio is GT-2.0...

Okay, we tried everything. By the way, there is no "video" input setting; we have ant/cable, HD colorstreaming, HDMI 1, and HDMI 2 for input settings. We also don't have a yellow input on the tv and we only have yellow outputs on the Genesis. We are able to watch dvd's in color on an external...

We have the GT 2.0 system and, looking at threads that are now closed, it looks like others have had the same problem. There is no fix listed in the thread, though. We added a sub-woofer and amplifier to the system to help the sound system. Now if we could just watch movies in color!

We have a 2013 Big Country model 3251 and the problem we are having is when playing DVDs the picture comes in black and white, do anybody else have this problem and did you fix it.

Where to place a surge protector ( EMS-HW50C) on a 3251 Big Country?
