This recall applies to other manufacturers also. I'm assuming that they are Lippert axles. Either a new trainee assemblng the bearings on the axles or they ran out of rear races and had to keep the line running. .

I replaced the suspension on my 2014 Big Country with both the Liberty Rider and Joy Rider systems. Our BC has a rear kitchen and was getting beat up pretty bad because of the stock suspension. The difference is remarkable. I also upgraded the new springs from 6000 to 7000 pounds. The springs...

I purchased a 12V fresh water pump from Harbor Freight. I then wired it with a standard 7 pin truck to rv power connector. I have a 45 gallon fresh water bladder that I can fill at a water source and then pump into my fresh water tank when boondocking.

Don, I can't remember if I let you know that Diane and I will tag along for the Wednesday dinner or not. Anyway, accept this as official notification that we will be there! Mike Roberts

Jim, if you're not boondocking on BLM property, you're not getting a true Quartzsie experience. 2019 will be our thied Q experience thanks to the federal government.

Jim Beletti, I see that you spoke with Mike Sokol in regards to being a presenter at the National Rally and that he has accepted. I would like to thank you for contacting Mike and having him as a presenter. You might need extra room in the hall for his presentations. I'll be bringing my...

Roadmaster did not engineer the parts for this system. The system was designed in Indiana. The original names for the suspension systems are: Joy Rider for the gas shocks system and Liberty Rider for the slipper springs and mounting components. I have both systems on my Big Horn, with a rear...

Hi Bill, I always enjoy your posts, especially the ones regarding electronics. It gives me great pleasure to say that I can actually correct a mistake that you made in the above post. The RV refrigerators absorb the heat not adsorb. I hope that you take this post in the lighthearted manner that...

I have installed the ARP control system in my Norcold refrigerator. I also installed their fans in both the intake and exhaust grills, the fans on/off are controlled by the ARP system. The ARP system is one way to prevent fires in an RV refigetator.

Hi Tim, we are also owners of a Big Country 2950RK. Ours is a 2014 model year. We love our 2950RK. The kitchen layout sold my wife on this model. It also met most of our other requirements. I believe the main difference in the floorplan is that our refrigerator is on the driver's side wall in...

Jim, based on our plans as of today my wife and I will be at Quartzsite that week. When in that area we boondock on BLM property.

Thanks Jim. I believe that his presentation would be worth the cost. I know that most of the presenters come from the Indiana RV community and all do a great job. I would pay to hear his presentation, to offset or subsidize his charges. If judging about RV electrical knowledge, from owners, just...

No comment in regards to Mike Sokol as a presenter?

No, with your gas motor you do not have exhaust braking. But, with a gas motor you do have compression braking, just downshift into a lower gear. Just watch your RPMs. It may scream a little but you will be fine.

Mike Sokol from "The No Shock Zone" would be an excellent presenter for one of the technical presentations. His presentations are pretty complete regarding RV electrical systems and he explains in language that everyone can understand.

I would also recommend that you let your RV black holding tank get pretty full before you dump it to your septic system. If you don't you could plug the black tank with solids.

Sorry guys, I have you all beat. First auxiliary music player installed in one of my cars was a 45 rpm spring mounted record player. By the way the cd player in my truck is used to hold the mount for my cell phone. All in vehicle music is now streamed.

I'm sorry, this is no 12 year old on a camping trip carrying his first pocket knife looking to carve his inirials into something. This is a married adult with children, who owns a business in the "recreation" industry. I think when you are an adult, you should have enough common sense, to know...

Re: Woke up to this I also use DeOxit on my electrical connections. The connector that needs to be sprayed every time we hook up is the campground female connector. With the circuit breaker off, I will give the female connector a good spray of DeOxit. Then, with the power still off, I will plug...

Re: Tire change You are correct on the use of your torque wrench. I was a technical training instructor for an aerospace manufacturing company and one of the classes that I taught was the use of torque wrenches. All torque wrench manufacturers specified in their documentation, that a torque...

Are you using an electrical adapter now, when connecred to the electrical panel? I once had a hot skin condition on a previously owned travel trailer. The culprit was a Chinese manufactured 30 - 15 adapter. I believe i read in a previous post that you were using an adapter at home.

#1 - The Yeti system is for heating tanks, not the coach. Hopefully you had liquids in all of your tanks. The Yeti heaters are pads attached to the bottom of the tanks, if no liquid in tanks they can get hot enough to burn holes in the tanks. #2 - Have you checked your propane tanks? At those...

We just made our reservations at Indigo Dunes for the MI Rally. We will be arriving on Wed. 8/22. Looking forward to another great Rally. See you all in August. Mike & Diane Roberts

If you pull the garnish trim off one of your exhaust fans, you should see some roof material that was stapled down around the opening for the fan. You will want to chsck the backside of the roof material. EPDM has a black material on the backside. TPO is the same color on the backside as the top.

i had both the Joy Ryder shock system and the Liberty Rider spring system installed on my Big Country. The ride with the factory suspension was terrible. Our floor plan is a rear kitchen and we were constantly having things broken and spilled. The Liberty Rider allows each wheel react to the...

I have a 2014 Big Country with a Lippert Remote. The light function controls the "scare lights".

I have no idea what you're talking about! Just put me in the back 40. Oh and put our names on the list. Looking forward to seeing you. Mike & Diane

As part of your investigation, I would talk to Wholesale Warranties. They are endorsed by Escapees RV Club. If you are familiar with the website RoadsLessTraveled.com, they have had very good luck with the warranty they purchased through Wholesale Warranties. I have no connection with either...

We have made our reservations for the Regional Rally. We will be arriving on June 13 and departing on June 18. T-shirt sizes are L and XL. We look forward to seeing all of our Heartland friends. Mike & Diane Roberts

To stream TV programs you have to have an internet connection. This could come from your cell phone service with a hot spot or using your cell phone as a hot spot. You'll need lots of available data to stream programs.

Boy, where does a diesel oil change cost $250? I've never paid anywhere near that, even at a Ford dealer in CO!

The Ford towing specs for a 2017 F350, dually, diesel, crew cab, fifth wheel are the following: 3.55 ratio, 27,300 lbs. 4.10 ratio, 27,800 lbs. It also stated that the tow rating is limited to the 5th wheel hitch rating of 27,500 lbs. I'm assuming that is for the factory ordered hitch. These...

I feel the ride has improved a lot. Prior to installing the new suspension we never knew what we would find in the kitchen, as far as what would find on the floor or what would fall on the floor the first time we opened the fridge. I'm sure that you know that the worst place a kitchen can be...

I had both the Liberty Rider and the Joy Rider systems installed after the Goshen Rally. We have a rear kitchen Big Country and the ride is drastically different. Cabinet doors stay shut items in fridge and inside cabinets are where we packed them before traveling. Yes the Liberty Rider is still...

When I installed the Hopper and Joey in my 2014 Big Country, I figured I would have to replace all my coax to meet the 3 GHz spec. per Dish Network. I checked out all of my coax and all of it was rated at 3ghz, it was marked on the cable. Hooked up the Hopper and Joey and it has been working great.

Yes, it must be magic, as GM taught us back in the 50's. GM had their "Magic Eye" which was a rather large sensor mounted on the dash, to the left of the steering wheel, to pick up oncoming car lights. Then your high beams would dim. I'm not sure if the brights would come back on automatically...

Cable comes into your RV via the antenna cable. There is a separate coax connection point for the cable. You have to turn off the antenna amplifier to receive the cable signal. Satellite connections are totally separate.

No you won't! They also come with keys, i have them and keep them where I kept my old keys, I've just never used them. I just put in new batteries once a year.

Time for programmable RV Locks, for both entry door and cabinet doors. It is so nice to not worry about keys. Definitely worth the money!

I had both the Joy Rider and Liberty Rider systems installed after the National Rally. Our floor plan is a rear kitchen. What a difference the change in suspension does for the ride.
