We had made steps for our trailer at seasonal site and removed the grab handle as new steps had a side rail. Now we want to put orgrinal handle back on but can't find the pins! Have handle but no pins. Any ideas for replacement pins?

My plastic hot water outlet cracked and I broke it trying to back it out. I saw the the threads about ways to back out the plastic part. It also has a spring in it that I assume is a check valve to prevent water coming back in. If I replace the plastic part with brass how does the check...

It's been a long time since I've been here but looking for some answers. My Coby receiver won't play DVDs or CDs and I want to replace it. This sets on a shelf only about 4" high, it is not a wall mount. What is a good replacement and where can I get it? Thanks, Don PS - We have...

This was mentioned on the forum before but can't find it now. I usethe 2 step filter system, sedment and carbon, but filter size I get from Menards are too big I think. Like 5 rating. I will go to RV Water Filter Store to buy new ones but want to know best size.

I haven't noticed any leaks in our trailer. Don't most new houses use plastic instead of brass and copper now? The last 2 years we have left our trailer outside at the campgrround in northern Wisconsin and when we opened it up in the spring we didn't have any leaks. We leave our...

I dropped my land line and thus my high speed internet. I went with US Cellular(also cell phone provider) 3G and haven't had any problems at home, cabin or campground.

Have 2008 Big Country and the handle on the recliner broke. Where can I get a replacement? Thanks.

Thanks for the comments. I hunt and I'm not an anti-gun guy. Just wanted to know some reasons for carrying a pistol. Actually makes me feel safer if the good guys are packin when I'm camping. I

Curious, has anybody ever had to pull or fire their gun when camping? I've camped in public and private campgrounds and have never felt threatened. What kind of places are people camping at that need a gun? I want to stay away from those places!

4. Flip bag over once an hour for the next 24 hours Are you sure of last instruction??

We don't have a separate W/D closet and ended up putting a 5 cu ft freezer(110v) sideways in front closet. Put another dorm size (4 cu ft) refrigerator under the slide out. We ended up staying at one site for summer so weight is not a problem. Two 100 lb propane tanks eliminate running...

I replaced some of my locks with round locks from http://www.mrlock.com/eshop/locks/index.html?bread. Can get them all keyed alike if you want. They have all sizes. That being said a screwdriver and 30 seconds is all it takes to get in. It will prevent somebody from using the generic...

Freezer in Closet We put our 5 cu ft freezer in the front closet where the washer/dryer setup would be. It goes sidewise in the closet and is really not that big of footprint. Got a 4 cu ft refrig/freezer and put it outside under the curb side slide. We stay one place all summer so we don't...

I ordered heavy axle(7000#) when I got my BC. It came with G tires but Chinese(Freestar) which I swapped out next year for Goodyears. Dealer said get a tire dealer to swap but they wouldn't touch them. Question is did this come with heavier springs for 7000# or did it come with springs for...

My truck came with 245 tires and BIL had 265 tires on his 3500. I think the 265 has about 400# higher capacity.

Wife wants to turn the table sideways. Is the table screwed down or bolted down? If bolted down, how do you get to the nut? We in the site for the season and so won't be traveling with it loose but want to be able to reattach it when moving. Thanks

We are leaving our trailer at the camp site all winter in northern Wisconsin. The campground host says most yearly campers leave trailers uncovered and don't have any problems. A friend at home always uses a tarp and prefers that. Some say cover for birds, weather, etc. Others say they have...

Open valve I agree with oldlthneck, just leave valve open when running flusher. I think there is a note to leave valve open when running flusher. If the object is to hit the solids with water from flusher then that is defeated when tank is filled with water with closed valve.

In our UDC we have 2 ports marked cable and 2 marked satellite. I trying to hook up a Dish500 satellite. Which port do I use for living room tv? Cable worked fine when down at Branson for rally. Still working on satellite signal. Got portable tv outside by dish to eliminated cable problems. When...

I did something similar by adding Supersprings. Others go with air bags but I didn't want to mess around with adding air and possible leaks. It doesn't squat as much when the trailer is added.

Generator I got a Champion 3500 Watt Generator at Cabela's last month for $299 and had an additional $20 off coupon. Not a Honda or Yamaha but for the money and my little usage, great value.

Count us in. We are staying in condo on South Padre Island this year but we want to look at some campgrounds and choose one for next year. Also maybe get some tips on wintering in RGV and get a good route from Iowa to RGV.

Ray, thanks for information about luncheon in February. We will be on SPI in February but staying in a condo. Can we still come? We plan on pulling trailer down next year when we can stay a couple of months. At the time we made the decision fuel was high and it made more sense to rent since we...

Vacationed in Door 30+ years I like to fish and started going to Door for salmon fishing in 1975 and been back about every year since. After the women in the family got a taste of area, we never able to get them back to back woods of Canada again. We will be up there this year most of...

BC owner We looked hard at the BC and BH before settling on the BC. The are some threads that have a list of differences between the two. I did order 7000# axles and dual pane windows with ours. The frame and most components are the same. You will need to look at the threads for the differences...

Fresh water drain on my BC is between tires on street side of unit. It is not as noticeable as the hot and cold water drains on the door side.

The big slide on door side closes tight at the top but looks like it is out a little at the bottom. The other slides look tight top and bottom. Fellow worker has Bighorn with same problem. Does the slide need adjustment or is this the nature of big slides? Thanks, Don

We had our trailer out last week for the third time since we bought it and had our first rain. We noticed damp carpet in the bedroom by the slide next to the shower. The water is coming in somewhere from the underneath side of the slide. It may be starting higher but where we see it is at the...

I'm thinking of adding one or the other on my truck. I would like some feedback on whose got what and their comments. I would be especially interested on those that added them to 2500 Chevys.

Thanks, Jim. Didn't know or forgot about the booster. I will look for it this weekend.

We went camping this weekend for the first time and can't figure out how to get the TV to work. We were at a state park so we were relying on the antenna for reception. Plug underneath the TV was plugged to 'cable' outlet. Other option underneath was 'satellite'. I could get one channel very...

Lamberts Jim: Sharon and I would like to go if we get setup in time. We are coming down on Tuesday and should be setup early afternoon. We have ate at both Lamberts in Missouri and they are a lot of fun.None

I looking to hear some positive reports on the Freestar tires. What is the most miles that anybody has put on them? I don't want to read the negative reports as I've already read enough of them.

We bought a 2008 BC 3300RL in November and towed it home to storage. I didn't know the new models came out so fast. Theoretically it is one year old before we use it. As we ordered it with 7000# axles, G tires, and double pane windows on it, it had to be built and not in inventory so it must of...

jpmorgan37 Check the brakes on the trailer or the setting on the Prodigy? Not real mechanical, what do I look for if I check brakes on the trailer? Dealer is about 150 miles away. Thanks

Thanks flywalker for the advice. Being new to pulling 5th wheel I didn't know if that jerking braking was normal or not. THe service tech said set it here and then left. When I got in town and started braking it felt like the trailer brakes were exerting a lot more braking than the TV...

Has anybody replaced trailer tires with the above combination. I have the 235/85R16G Freestar tires that came with the upgraded axle/tire combination. Of course now that I've read all the threads, I probably should have stayed with the E tires and upgraded them to Michelins. The tires...

Look at yesterday's thread of BigHorn vs BigCountry. I didn't see a lot of structure differences other than what I noted.

Thumbs up Jim! Thanks for banning Ray. I think some negative comments are ok but in Ray's case it was so over the top everybody just blew him off as being one of those types. I look for constructive and helpful tips on the forum. We got our BC a couple of weeks ago and now it is in cold storage...

We looked at both Bighorn and Big Country. Let me try to give you the differences I saw. 1.BH - Solid counter tops BC-Wood trim counter tops 2.BH - Sink covers matched counter top BC-Generic plastic sink covers 3.BH - Manually control which slide to put out if wanted - Could be handy BC - No...
