I do not have one that matches yours but I do have a set of 4 that I just took off my 2015 Big Country. I would bet that I what I would take for all four would be less than a dealer would want for one. Steve

I have 4 original rims I have taken off my 2015 Big country. PM me for details if you still need them. Steve

Jerrod, Can you provide any update as to how the tires are working out? Steve

Jerrod, If I am not mistaken you have the Moreride IS on your rig. Do you see any difference in how the trailer tows and is there more bouncing? I need to replace my tires on our Big Country which has the Saulin's presently so the tire diameter is only .38 inches small on the Continentals which...

I replaced all of my hoses after the animals chewed thru one and I had bubbles in another. I found that every line was extra long. You should have enough to do a quick splice to repair it until you can replace the hose with a new one. Several of mine were wire tied so I had to drop the...

Dan, It has been a pleasure reading your post and meeting you way back at the Las Vegas rally. You have always been a great source of knowledge and you will be missed. I wish you the very best in your new chapter. It seems that there is a large turnover and an even bigger change to the forum. I...

Several years ago I mounted 6 panels using aluminum angle brackets that I made. Using 10 struts will add a bunch of unwanted weight. Keeping the weight down as well as keeping the panels as close to the roof as possible is important. If you use small lag bolts and then cover the brackets with...

On my Big Country I had the factory install an isolation block so I could open or close a slide even though I have a single switch. This separate manifold has two knobs one for each slide. If I close the valve then the slide will not extend of retract. To truly separate then then each slide...

Derald, Cutting the electric bill by 2/3's is a pretty tall order to fill but it is possible. This being said you will need to do some math and little investagating. You first need to know what the total load per day your system uses. Then doing some test to see how much you can charge in a...

I just finished this weekend replacing all of the hydraulic lines. I had several that were leaking from the same location. The hose shop that I went to said it was a common problem with these hoses. It was such a hassle snaking the lines I gave up and dropped the bottom. After inspection I found...

Just my experience but the solar panels are best in a series/parallel combination. The reasons have been listed above but if they are all done in series then the wire gauge running from the roof to the charge controller would need to be very large to compensator for the voltage drop. This drop...

I wonder if they have a replacement for the cargo bay door lock also. I have the same trouble with the older keypads. They do NOT last long. The sun just destroys them making them brittle and pron to cracking.

We replaced our awning with material from Tough top awnings. They sent new rib and it fit just fine. I did not put the plastic LED track back since it was broken and I could not find one to replace it. I would give them a call and talk to them. They were very helpful.

We too have had these steps installed on our Big Country for a little over 5 years. I love them and have had to do nothing but spray them with a little silicone. One of the most dependable upgrades I have done.

Derald, I am not sure how it is all set up but the one thing that stands out to me is the cut over voltage of the batteries. 11 volts for the lower cut over voltage seems to be too low. From all I know about AGM batteries is that at 12.25v the batteries are at 50% charge. This is about as low as...

I am in the process of redoing my duct work and several other items after squirrels got in and ate holes in several ducts. The 4 inch ducts are run along the sides and through the frame. there is a lot of room to move around in the belly. There is no easy way that I know of to rerun the duct...

I had thought the same thing the first time I saw the straps. What I found out is that when the tanks are full the straps get tight. The tanks are resting on the frames as Dan stated. I would not worry about them.

Thanks Jim....If there is something better out there now I would be open to any system that does not need to be hard wired to the truck. I have no problem running cables underneath the basement now.

Does anyone have a update to the Haloview rear cameras. I am looking to add a camera while I have the ceroplast bottom off to replace the dump valves and the level up hoses. I am considering pulling a power cable now but not sure if any other cables might be needed. Steve

I also had this done on our Big Country. At first I used the e-mail to get a quote and also had trouble. I finely just called and asked them. Depending on where you are at there are several places that it can be installed. I had it done here in Tampa. Once I got them on the phone they gave me a...

As John stated there are adjustments on each wheel that allow 1 inch adjustment but it is only 1 inch. Depending on what position the wheels are set to you can either raise it or lower it by 1 inch. I had an older ford truck and then bought a new 2017 so I needed to raise the trailer up. While I...

I had the same problem on our big country. I chose to take the 2750.00 dollars and never had them send the new roofing material to replace the old roof. I have replaced a rubber roof on an older rig I once owned myself. It is a lot of work and you need several people to do it right. I am not a...

I had the same problem with our roof. It was so sticky that I could not walk on it. I chose to get the roof removed and then have RV Flex Amour sprayed on the roof. It comes with a lifetime warranty. It cost me less than putting a new rubber roof and it is much stronger now. I would never go...

I am in the process of trying to find several small leaks on the slides and level up system. When I attempted to flow the lines in the underbelly they were run all over the place some tried up with wire ties. I think it would be tough to pull all the lines through without getting something else...

We started using the RV Lock when they 1st came out and then added the cargo locks when they came out. I have had to replace the keypad membrane several times, they do not like the direct sun that was in Las Vegas and now in Tampa. The customer service cannot be beat. When I wanted all my locks...

Ours was done at EliteRV in Palmetto, FL. I had spoke to both the main, Original installer, and the site in Palmetto. When I was talking to the site in the Jacksonville, FL area he stated to me that the process is the same at all sites and it did not matter the warranty was honored at all sites...

We had the RVFlex armor installed. I'm looking forward to not having to caulk the roof anymore.

Well it has taken quite a while to finally get it done. But today I picked up our Big Country from Elite RV with a new roof. What a big difference. Next to installing a solar system this was the largest expense so far. They made the job easy and did this in one week. I will post an update after...

After all the work you have done to your truck are even considering replacing it?

So here is the latest news. I spoke to Don at Dicor. He did ask for me to send him pictures, a copy of the VIN sticker and the date of purchase. He then called me back a few days later and gave me two options. I will do my best to list them below. 1. A one time check of 1,000.00 and the...

I am sure my CFO, aka wife, would never approve the expenditure. She has said after all the modifications I have done the rig is fine and I cannot start over.

I have a Big Country that is 5 years old and the roof has all of a sudden become gummy and looks like the top half is peeling away when you walk on it. I am not a big fan of rubber roofs and replaced on on my last RV myself. I was looking into a alternative. I researched two options RV Armour (a...

Jerrod, You need some more stuff in you basement. I still see some unused space.

I was very disappointed when I found out that Ford had limited the blind spot detection to Tag trailers only. I cannot figure out why. Maybe in a future release of the software of hack of the system this will work. But i love my new truck anyhow.

This is true. I have a F-350 SRW 4x4 Steve

I know Jerrod installed the air lift. Has anyone else found the need to install the air bags. I love the ride on my 2017 when the trailer is not connected, nice and smooth even on rough roads, but when it is connected mine seems to be a little too soft for my liking. I am not sure if the air...

I had a older Reese hitch and it was always a rib buster trying to release it if there was any pressure on the jaws. With the new B&W hitch I can release it with two fingers and the coupling is nice and tight. I am so glad that I chose the B&W over the Reese for my new Ford. Steve

Steve, When I replaced my refrigerator with a new residential one I ran a SS line from the refrigerator to the water line under the sink. There are several others that have done the same. The plastic lines are worthless but cost pennies to use. If you use the water in the fridge then a SS line...

Jerrod, That step is done well. That is what I need on my new Ford. I do not have the welding talent nor the tools to cut out the metal. Enjoy the one of a kind mod. Regards, Steve

I also add an extension. Mine has been working great for the last 2 years.
