    Is this a crazy idea?

    We recently purchased a new Silverado 5er with the intention of full timing in my upcoming retirement. My dilemma concerns a truck choice and I had a thought that I'm sure others have as well. We would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Our plan is to spend summers on The Oregon Coast...

    Main AC Unit Not Cooling Enough.... Some options?

    Right there with you, Cruzer076. We have a newer unit and two A/C's but the bedroom AC is self contained and not much help with the living room/kitchen area. We use the reflective material in the windows and run a 20" box fan during the heat of the afternoon, but it still gets up to the mid...

    BC3690 Sound Bar Install

    Just installed a 29 inch Vizio sound bar in the cubby under our tv. Worked out great for us. $76 on Amazon. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

    Officially homeless

    We went through a similar process in March. Decided to sell our home in Denton, TX area and see what full timing was all about. Long story short, the house sold to the first person through, we bought our new Silverado 35RES, sold nearly everything in the house over two weekends, and moved into...

    Forney, TX

    This doesn't exactly meet your request, but we really like Shady Creek RV Park just north of Hwy 380 about five miles west of the Toll Road in Frisco. A very well run operation.

    Medical Needs On The Road

    I put together a package of benefits that work pretty well for people on the road. It includes a no charge teledoc system available 24/7 with docs that can prescribe meds, a nationwide dental discount program through Aetna, a discount Rx program and that works at 50,000 pharmacies, a nationwide...

    Hello

    Sometimes I just can't help myself... but most of the time we don't feel like cooking ourselves, either... it gets so hot in the oven! Please forgive me.

    2014 Big Bend Open Road Race

    Thanks for the info. Probably not this year, but would love to help with this. It can get pretty raunchy at Terlingua, but they're doing a good job of containing that part of it to a particular area. There are just so many great people out there every year and its our only chance to see...

    2014 Big Bend Open Road Race

    I used to cook every weekend somewhere and placed third in the Texas State Championship one year and runner up in Colorado State another year. My late wife placed twice top ten at Terlingua and won the Texas State Championship. My new bride and I are invited every year to go out and judge at...

    2014 Big Bend Open Road Race

    Very cool. I had no idea they did this out there. We go to Terlingua frequently for the chili cookoff week in late October/early November. Quite a party! Thanks for sharing. Where would I get more info on this event?

    Odor under kitchen sink

    Feeling kind of dumb now... I do have a leaking valve on the holding tank that is dripping on the ground. I opened the drain valve so there wouldn't be accumulation in the tank, but I know that's not smart on the black water tank... probably the same thing here????

    Odor under kitchen sink

    Thank you. I will look again when I get home. Both drains drop straight down through the floor, so I guess I'll have to get down in the basement behind the wall to see where they come through. This makes sense because the odor is stronger in the basement than in the kitchen. No smell at all...

    Odor under kitchen sink

    I feel kind of silly because I can't find the valve in kitchen or the bathroom. Is it under the sink, but in the cabinet? Thanks! Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

    AC/Furnace Control Box

    Update on this problem. Tech was back and replaced the ceiling control box again. This time he didn't connect the furnace to the control box. AC appears to be working well, but still have the furnace issue to contend with. Tech is trying to get Heartland to authorize more time to trouble...

    AC/Furnace Control Box

    Didn't make any difference to the thermostat. When it goes blank, it never comes back. No juice from the ceiling control box out to stat. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

    AC/Furnace Control Box

    That's what the tech thinks as well. He's asking permission to rewire the furnace on Monday. I will pass this along to him. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

    AC/Furnace Control Box

    Everything else seems to be working okay, although I did notice the hd side of our Directv seems to be on the fritz, now that you ask. The six volts dropped from 12 when we pulled the furnace fuse. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

    AC/Furnace Control Box

    I am referring to the box in the ceiling. We've also tried replacing the thermostat, but there is no juice to the stat. There is a 6 volt reading coming from the furnace when it is turned off as well. Thanks for taking an interest! Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

    AC/Furnace Control Box

    We've had the mobile tech out three different times to repair our ac/heat system in our first month in our 2014 Bighorn Silverado 35 RES. It will run a day or two and then the thermostat goes blank. We've replaced the control box twice, but the problem persists. We are now into 90 degree...

    Help with table between recliners

    Warranty Work

    That is exactly the way we've found it to work for us. In a couple of cases, the tech went to the local distributor for a replacement of a defective part and was able to handle the warranty through the distributor. Erika is entirely correct that the proper protocol is to call Heartland's...

    Warranty Work

    We purchased our rig from a national wholesaler located 1100 miles away. Still saved $8,000 over buying local even after paying $2,000 for delivery. We are using a local mobile repair guy and have been happy with the process. I will admit to getting frustrated in the beginning until I learned...

    Hidden Satellite Receivers and your remote. A $50 solution

    The Toshiba TV in my living room is on a lift and doesn't raise high enough to expose the infrared window which is a small pain. I'm wondering if a unit like this would help me with this problem. I've tried to adjust the lift mechanism with no success. I use the RF option on my Genie DirecTV...

    Norcold LiOp Code Quick Fix

    Thanks to all of you for your help. I was able to identify the box, pull the cover and place my 2 lb pull magnet directly on the long thin rectangle immediately adjacent to the red light (marked switch.) Worked great and reset the red light. This is the second time in two weeks that you folks...

    Thermostat is blank

    Finally found my mutlimeter and checked, but no juice to the thermostat, so I'm down to the box. The tabs on the grille seem quite fragile, but I'll look at it again tonight when I get home. Spent half a day yesterday with Directv trying to get their install done. Turned out okay, but...

    Thermostat is blank

    Thanks. Good to know on the lights. Everything else seems to be okay. I checked fuses first thing. Someone at the dealership suggested there might be a fuse on the AC unit itself. I guess I need to look at that as well. Not entirely sure where to look, but apparently somewhere near the air...

    Thermostat is blank

    I'm really a rookie at this, so bear with me. If I unplug our shore power and the lights still work, that would indicate 12 volt is working?

    Pendent Lighting for 35RES?

    We took delivery on our new Silverado 35RES on Saturday. My wife loves the floorplan, but missed not having pendent lighting over the kitchen island. The way I've seen it done on other brands is that they install a large oval medallion and then suspend the lights from the medallion. There are...

    Jensen DV2007 won't play DVDs

    We are taking delivery on our new Silverado 35RES on the 24th. After looking at the diagram in HUG, I quickly decided to keep my Sony BluRay with wifi and Sony amp. I plan to replace all the oem speakers as well. I figure I can hijack the connectors from the Jensen and connect directly to my...
