    need feedback on 6 pt leveling systems (good, bad and the ugly)

    We have a BC 3650RL with the 6PT levelup as well. I love the system. I use some additional pads under the feet that I made to shorten the extended length to reduce wobble of the rig. I use the auto level feature almost all the time. ENJOY the new rig.

    ATF: Bighorn - Level-up system

    I haven't had to work on our Level Up system yet. Some hydraulic fittings have O-rings in them and maybe thats all you need is a replacement o-ring. some fittings dont have o-rings .

    Newbie Needs Advice on pulling BIG 33 foot North Trail Travel Trailer w/ Excursion Diesel

    I always used blocking under the scissor jacks on my old travel trailer. the shorter the jacks when extended the less movement in the trailer. I used 8" x 16" cinder blocks and pieces of 2 x 8 x16 on top of blocks. This worked great for me.

    2015 Big Country - No More Desks

    Bohemian, We have a 2014 BC 3650RL with the desk. The desk and storage was a nice feature when we looked at this rig. We are living in this thing full time and have never used the desk. we use the dining table. The other great features of this floorplan would more than make up for the lack of a...

    Sounds like to much poop n paper and not enough WATER. Water is the key. Lots and lots of water. Fill the bowl with water several times after each flush. You might need to get some one to run a camera down the drain. Find and clear the blockage. Then run the camera down the drain pipe again to...

    Touring West Virginia, From I64 to Gauley Bridge to US 19 to Sam Black Church via US Hwy 60.

    East of US rt 19 on rt 60 is better, still 2 lane and narrow . But the grades are better and no switchbacks. One mountain dropping down into Rainelle is pretty steep and twisty. Maybe best to continue south on RTE 19 to I-64 and then head east.Or continue south on I-77 .

    Take I-79 north from Charleston to US19... Better road. Route 60 = steep grades and switchbacks. I could do it but I won't.

    What's up with the front stabilizer jack placement on the Lynx?

    I just sold our big old heavy Jayco TT. 18 years on the factory scissor jacks, never a problem. I always used blocking under each . Seems to take out the wobble when moving around in side. I always carried cinderblocks and some 16" pieces of 2x8. never used any screw jacks. Never had a jack...

    Worry or don't worry?

    You might want to have some one look at that. When the you level up everything should be level. If not something may be bent, built wrong at the factory or broken from flexing. If it were mine some one would be looking at this issue real soon. Andy

    ATF: Bighorn - Opening slides when coach is not level

    If you are that far out I would jack up the low side and place some boards under the tires to bring it up closer to level. Read jacking instructions and follow them. then you will also need some blocking for the jacks on the low side (all three). Be careful, safety first. I just don't like to...
