Just as an update to this thread, I emailed Wilson Amplifiers (WeBoost) and got this reply: "Thank you for your inquiry. I was able to verify that the cables that are included in the weBoost Destination RV Signal Booster Kit are Low Loss RG6 (75ohm) Cable wih F- Male terminating ends. This is...

Re: Internet Service l 2x on TravelTigers recommendation. You can learn a great deal from that site even without paying for membership!

So, like many others, I am researching options for cellular provider plans, and stumbled on several sites that are peddling modem/routers along with 'no contract' unthrottled data plans. They all advertise they are not 'location locked' meaning you can travel anywhere with the plans. Some...

WDK450 (Bill) posted a response to another thread that I was involved in on making connections from outside to inside a coach utilizing the CATV factory wiring, just as you said you tried. Unless I misunderstood his post, the resistance of the coax cables used for TV compared to that used to...

I was wondering about the resistance ratings on the coax cables. Makes me wonder how/what those that claim they used the existing factory cables actually did?? Anyway, good info. Thx.

I realize this is an older thread, but I am looking into a WeBoost model and I've seen some people have been able to utilize their cable tv connection port to connect the external antenna to the inside. If your cables are coxial with the standard connections, you should be able to do the same...

Agree 100% Jim! Worked in industrial maintenance all my adult life and we did many large conductor wiring jobs. Having a power crimp machine for the larger conductors is a must. Heartland should know better.

Rineer, I just finished the upgrade to an 80A circuit for the hydraulics on my BH. It has the Lippert 3.0. You have to upgrade all the cables including the ground cable as well as the 80A breaker. I chose a manual reset style...

Well I got all the parts in and yesterday I made the wiring upgrade. In the process I discovered what was probably the cause for the higher than normal current draw. A poorly crimped cable. I had omitted pulling on cables when I went through and checked the tightness of the terminals. I...

Thanks Dan! I didn't know they made those.

...we have a 2015 3875FB and would like to know how many others out there have same model. There are a few things that I have had to "correct" on my unit that the factory 'didn't do right'. Just curious if other have had same issue, or was mine a 'Friday' model. Thx. Today I corrected a...

Thanks for the reply Keith. It makes no difference if I'm on shore power or not. Still does it. - - - Updated - - - Thanks Dan. I placed my order today for all the stuff I'll need to convert to 80A. Thx.

Yes Jerrod, I've already got the 80A auto reset breaker in my basket on Amazon. I have yet to find the cables in the right length. I know others have made this mod. I was trying to verify the full load rating for the pump motor before going to this option. Does anyone know this number? Thx.

So I've read lots of posts on various issues and some get close, but I haven't solve it yet. This really is a tow part issue all related to the Lippert hydraulics, but may not be anything wrong with the hydraulics package itself. The coach is a 2015 Bighorn 3875FB. The issue only exists when...

Thanks Dan. I already have two new 50A breakers I just purchased off Amazon. I had meter before the suspect 50A breaker and one after, along with an ammeter on the line. It showed the lead breaker in the supply from the battery held, but the one in the cluster did not. I'll replace them...

I too fell victim to this issue on my 2015 BH 3875FB. No problems for the first 8 mos. then both the big hydraulic slides and the 6 pt. leveling started to shutdown while retracting. Testing revealed that the 50A auto reset breaker in the cluster with the others was tripping out. I replaced...

So I need to update the situation with our last visit to Heartland. I got a call from Elaine on Wednesday 10/30/19 informing me of a cancellation. If I could get my trailer down to them soon, they could spend a week analyzing and go from there. On Friday 11/01/19 the wife and I took it down...

I just installed an accumulator on my rig and had one on an earlier rig. I have never seen or heard of them installed in the city water circuit though. They are usually installed immediately after the 12 volt water pump. I'm not saying that you couldn't, but I'm not sure if it would work...

Not that it will do you much good this time, but if you are not winterizing for the season, you could do what I did and run a heat tape (I bought mine at Lowes) along the tubing that is exposed. On my 3875 FB Bighorn it was under the large slide for the kitchen. I first covered the 1/4" tubing...

That's the part that bristles my hackle a bit. I've not been impressed with Heartland in my dealings with their warranty dept. I chose Heartland based on its reputation but haven't seen that in real life. Sad. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

So I'm going to start the second round of warranty work. I contacted the service dept. and have received an email back with the attached form. I was notified that I would have to transport the unit to and from the factory since "it was so far out of warranty". Heartland states they have a 3...

Thanks Gary. Good info. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Well I've decided to look seriously at replacing the drums with discs. I've done some looking online, but I'd like to hear from those who have gone before me on the subject. I'm not needing convincing so save your breath on that. I am wondering since Kodiak and Titan are now under the Dexter...

Well I certainly dropped the ball on this thread. Sorry! After reading your post I dug in and found the LCI remote control board. It was pretty simple to determine the issue was that no lights were physically tied to the output of the light relay. I tied the awning light into it so we would...

Yup Carl, the factory install of the plumbing failed to take into account the need to spread the piping apart even to service the valve. I could see the seals were fine, but one had somehow rolled over and prevented the slide to pass between and make a positive seal. As long as I had the whole...

Yes. Valterra 1.5" Blade valve. They are quite simple and if you can gain just a little separation at the flanges, the repair/replacement of them is easy. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Repaired one of the grey water gate valves on our 2015 BH. The corraplast came down clean, but I did discover I was carrying another 8 pounds of weight in water that was inside the little galleys when I dropped one side. I cleaned up the messy arrangement of tubing/wiring runs also. I was well...

I've had the same thing occur on the underside edge of my fifth wheel. That style of trim snaps into that track, but if it shrinks it will pull out. Yours has shrunk enough that you need to replace it now. It should pull out. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

As far as I know, that's NOT legal in Florida. Wonder how far they got before they got an invite to the side of the road.

I must be the odd man out on this. I'm generally not one to be confrontational...ask my wife. We had warranty work done in April of 2018 on our "previously unowned" 2015 BH 3875FB that we purchased in September of 2017. Heartland agreed to set up an appointment for late April 2018 as we were...

Yes Sowie and it reduces the rate of pump cycles. With the kitchen sink faucet wide open, it now cycles every 5 seconds instead of every 2. That would most lilkey vary with pump output volume though. Quieter too, but that may have to do with my install. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Honestly, it wasn't today, it was last week, but what the hey! I had some parts laying around from previous trailers and after a discussion with my brother about his fresh water system, decided to do something about mine. I added an accumulator. I thought I had a variable volume pump laying...

Voltage drop in an electrical circuit will vary depending on many factors like wire gauge, circuit length, and connection quality. What is your reason for asking? Are you having issues with braking? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Took it in to ADP and the diagnostics showed several failed injectors. Parts are on the way. Guess we'll be staying around Abilene a bit longer. That's alright with us. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Thanks to all for the replies! Thanks for the lead Erika and Terry. As much as we would like to stick around for the rally, we have a family event over near Phoenix the end of the month. Thanks for the invite though!

I have a 2002 6.6L LB7 which has begun to emit white smoke from the exhaust. Seems like it's more noticeable at an idle, but that just might be because the trucks not moving. Puts out quite a cloud when leaving from a stop. Oil level seems to be staying put and it doesn't look like I'm making...

We'll be praying Jim. Keep us informed. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Received my warranty upgrade kit for my Fantastic Fan yesterday, so today during a Texas sleet storm I installed it. Unfortunately, I get so into my jobs that I fail to stop and document it with pictures...duhh! Install went smooth and instructions were right on. The model in my coach was a...

I would agree Dave. Best to drop straight south while roads and weather allow instead of taking a chance and getting caught in something nasty.

Weather can be unpredictable, but depending on when you depart doing a southwestern route can be fine. We left west MI in early Nov. and headed south to Indy, then southwest down through IL,MO, and AR crossing into TX at Texarkana. We are currently hanging around east of San Antonio and loving...
