    Alternative cellular providers...

    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...

    3875 FB owners...

    ...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...

    Let's visit this again...Lippert 6 point leveling issue

    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...

    Disc brakes for 2015 Bigkhorn

    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...

    2002 Duramax smoking

    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...

    Shock lost parts

    So while nosing around doing some "fix n repair" while camped between Austin and San Antone, I noticed the rear shock on door side had lost the nut and all the bushings, etc. I'm assuming it's a Lippert item, and have found an entire shock assembly on Amazon for around $35. Question is, can...

    Pheonix route

    In February we will be coming into Pheonix from the south on I10 heading to White Tank Mtn. Is it best to stay on 10, or travel around the bottom on 17? Thx. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Water inlet valve on Frigidaire Gallery

    I have to test/replace the water inlet valve on my frig that is in the slide on my 2015 3875FB Bighorn. I've already done the easier things to troubleshoot the no ice problem and now suspect the inlet valve assy. The question I have after snooping around is it appears that on my model there...

    2002 Silverado wiring question

    Sorry if this is not the forum for this, but I couldn't see a better place to post. I have been trying to figure out just why I can't get 12v on pin #1 of my seven pin connector. I've tested between pin #1 and pin #4, also to the frame, but without any luck. I've also tried it with the truck...

    Rubber roof cleaning/protection.

    I've used products to clean my roof in the past, but would like some recommendations from others on what they prefer. I like the one-step cleaners/protectors for ease. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    RESOLVED: Verizon MiFi is slow when streaming

    I've read a lot of threads looking for a clue but to no avail so pardon if the answer is there. I have an unlimited plan with (3) devices. (2) smart phones, one is mine the other the DW's. I also have a MIFI5510L Jetpack. The conundrum is that when connecting our Roku to the devices I can...

    Banks performance enhancement on Duramax

    After upgrading our fiver to a 2015 3875 FB and travelling south to FL this winter, I decided that although my 2002 3500 handled things fine, I needed some improvements. I just finished the install of the Power Pack system from Banks Engineering. I deleted the intercooler at this time, but...

    LCI remote control

    We're talking about a 2015 BH with what I believe is the Lippert 3.0 6-pt levelup. My question has to do with the small remote (pictured). All controls work with the exception of the LIGHT control, or I am not seeing which light it is controlling I figured it would be the porch or possibly the...

    Salt Springs near Ocala

    The last time we posted we were in northeast Georgia. We've since wandered down through Savannah and now set up here for a week. Our plan we to head a couple hours south down around Sarasota next week, but this campground has FHU sites and with my lifetime senior pass is extremely reasonble...

    Window screen removal

    So the DW has been able to remove all the window screens for cleaning except the small single pane windows typically found in the ends of the bedroom slide out. These are the ones with the lower pane that slides up roughly 6". I've looked at the small half screen on these windows a bit, but...

    Question for those who know...

    how the folks down in Florida go about sifting for sharks teeth in the rivers. I ask because I stumbled on this little hobby while researching a campground on the Peace River. We will be camping for a couple of weeks in December right on the river and our grand daughter will be with us for...

    Use of X chocks with Level-Up.

    Wondering for those with the auto level systems, do you also use X chocks and how. If I install mine prior to disonnecting the TV and then do auto level, they are loose between tires? Am I using them wrong? Thx. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Level-Up settling

    I've "camped" in my unit for the past week or so out back on my cement pad by the pole barn. Every so often I hear a "pop" or a "clunk". When I did the auto level the curb side tires could just be rotated, and now I see they cannot. I guessing that I may have a control valve leaking fluid...

    coaxial confusion

    LCI 6 point Level-Up hitch height memory

    So I was under the impression that I could return to the height that I u hitched at. The label near the LCI contol let indicates that by pushing the right and left arrow keys simultaneously it should automatically return to the last position before auto leveling. Not so. Tried it twice. Give...

    Should we be concerned with this scenerio?

    In the process of purchasing a new 2015 Bighorn. It's never been owned. When we looked over the unit a couple of weeks ago we found a number of things that needed attention. Most were items that had been "cannibalized" by the dealer. Not a problem as they would all be corrected. The...

    DIY fifth wheel hitch height modiification

    Am pretty sure while going from 2009 BH 3055 RL to 2015 BH 3875FB that my hitch height is going to be a bit low. I measured current rig at level and also the new rig. There's approx. 2.75" difference. Might be partly due to 16" wheels on current and 17.5" on new but not sure on that. At any...

    Power awnings...to lash down, or not

    So this applies only to power awnings that do not have wind detection. I have always lashed mine down with ratchet straps or the.like with bungee cords for some flex. How any agree with this practice? How many don't? Reasons why for either. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Upgrade from 2009 3055RL to 2015 or 2017 3875FB

    So the DW and I have been researching and looking at a LOT of fivers over the last year. Our plan is to head south in November to avoid the Michigan winter and just float around in the warm zone until the weather warmed up here in the north. We were going to do that in our current 3055RL, but...

    wheel liners on DRW

    I have a 2002 Silverado that needs some attention to the wheels. I have looked a bit into replacing the factory steel wheels with aluminum, but with having to change out the studs and all it started to become a lot more expensive than I wanted. I understand that I could just have the wheels...

    Tire age and the debate over safety

    So this whole thing for me started back when I lost two Carlisle tires on my 2002 Wildcat years ago (not at the same time). Until then I was like many who failed to pay close attention to the only thing that was between my investment and the road...the tires. Since then I started being more...
