    Dryer Vent

    when I did this in my Big Horn I read a thread about morning dew on outside showing where the studs were. That info helped confirm the 4 inch hole wouldn't have interference.

    I had a problem with satellite not working from UDC to entertainment connections also. My problem was the cable or connector under the slide up to the entertainment center wall. In our 3260EL the door side has a connector under the slide that can be used to replace either section you find is...

    Satellite connections???

    in the Big Horn model like mine (3260EL) the satellite wire has a connector junction under the entertainment slide.

    Still can't get TV channels

    Scanning OTA TV channels to me means to scan antenna---the TV may or may not be selected to antenna. and then when hooked up to cable---with booster off a new scan is done. My 3260EL is almost the same as 3160 and we have 2TV's. Did you order without the bedroom unit? You would have...

    2016 BH 3760 EL Expectations

    love to see pictures. most interested in the room between bed and walls to compare to our 3260. The floorplan gives the appearance of more room. Having a separate pantry and W/D closets are a big point to us. So where in Florida? We are on our way in about 3 weeks to Titusville.

    New Purchase with MANY problems on first trip

    In many posts of problems we keep asking if someone could address the quality issues. Many can be caught at the factory if a better shakedown was done.

    Grease on brakes

    I recently lubed my wheel bearings at the hub zerk fittings with a hand pump gun and noted it took quite a bit to get the grease to ooze out at the outer bearing nut. Mine is the EZ Lube with the central axle zerk that feeds back into the hub to the inner bearing. I too was concerned that I...

    All the Prep Work is Done, Now I can buy the washer!

    I just did the vent install in a BH 3260EL (front pantry washer/dryer location). The location made this easy from the wall studs-there are none. The biggest hurdle was the cutting a hole in the wall of the trailer. After I got through that it was fine. I have to install the drip pan yet...

    Experience with EZ Lube axle lubrication

    I was concerned enough to pull one hub and look for a loss of seal. After pulling one of the right side wheels I was able to see no grease got out of the hub, lots of grease now inside at both bearings. used about more than 2 but less than 3 tubes of grease. So I have successfully greased all 4...

    Experience with EZ Lube axle lubrication

    I did get the wheels off the ground and rotated during grease add. Don't believe the inner seal gave out since the grease add resulted in ooze at the outer bearing and zerk fitting. My concern was having to add so much before I got the ooze. And no old grease in the ooze. Gary

    Experience with EZ Lube axle lubrication

    So I decided to grease my wheel bearings. On removing the first wheel found out I had EZ Lube system. (Didn't know until now) Went to UTube to understand the greasing method, it also is the same as the Dexter manual. Pretty straight forward. Add grease until old comes out, just like the norm...

    source for wheel bearings and seals

    Easier than I thought. Bearing kit includes the inner bearing, outer bearing, seal and cotter pin. The biggest obstacle was knowing what I had (axle) and then the bearings to fit it. once I figured out what I had---7000 # Dexter axles, and then looked up the Dexter part numbers (catalog in...
