I too installed the roof edge flashing strips as Alan did and they seem to be doing the job. I didn't jack up the slide and just put them as far in as I could. I also added a 1" drywall screw at the end nearest the camper wall just in case the strip wanted to pull down when putting the slide in...

We are full-timers and usually shut our water heater off after we shower in the morning. Yesterday we left it on till my wife did dishes and she said the water seemed unusually hot. This morning we turned on the water heater on gas and it would not light or even try to, put it on elec., nothing...

Re: Second ac unit Besides all the other reasons listed here for adding the second A/C, we had our main A/C blower go out and have been without it for a month waiting for a new one from Dometic. They finally decided they couldn't get just the blower and are replacing the top half of the A/C...

Except a diesel engine is about a $5000 option. Irregardless, I'd still go with the diesel, no matter wether its a Ford, Chevy or Dodge.

Not really the same thing, but they are both water softeners. There Borax mixes well if you use hot water. I just go to the outside shower to fill the bucket with hot water after I have added the borax. I then stir it with a wooden spoon until it dissolves.

I know this has been said before, but I have a lot of experience working with hydraulic hoses, cylinders and such and there is no way that the hoses laying in a tangled mess in the underbelly with all the electrtical and water lines could cause or rub a leak in the hose, unless the hose got...

Try 20 Mule Team Borax, its much cheaper and for works just as well if you mix it with hot water. Walmart has its own brand, I believe and its usually in the washing detergent section.

Is the Level-up system still on sale in Elkhart. If it is we're thinking of traveling over there to have it installed.

Yes you are missing something. There is a mechanical advantage to the hydraulic cylinder depending on the size of actuating piston. So, it wouldn't be out of the question for a cylinder to be rated for 7000 lbs. while only having 2500 lbs. operation pressure.

New plan on repairs. Would take too long to get just fan motor, so Dometic is sending everything that goes above the roof. Should be here this week. Good thing we're in WI. We're cooling the whole camper with the bedroom A/C and a fan blowing cold air down to the rest of the camper. Works pretty...

I could've said the same thing but the fan on the A/C quit last week. Still under warranty though. We are very happy with our 3600RE. We are full-timers and have 5600 miles on our unit since the 10th of June last year. Had a few minor problems, but considering its like a rolling earthquake in...

I know that, but they are are controlled by the same thermostat and the low speed A/C fan and furnace fan run off the same contact on the thermostat. Depending on if you have it on heat or cool.

Ok, the repairman was here yesterday and found that the A/C fan motor was bad. Its a chinese motor and he'll have to have Dometic send him one. As far as the furnace fan, I took the cover off the thermostat and found the screw was loose on the wire going to the fan. So, that runs now. When I...

No, you can leave that on and then operate it with the two switches inside. The one for gas operation and the red residential one for electric operation. Always make sure there is water in the heater before either type of operation, but especially electric.

I posted the same problem two days ago. I called Heartland customer service and they directed me to Dometic (one year warranty ran out June 10th) and they gave me the phone numbers of two shops that were authorized Dometic repair shops. Surprisingly, one of them no longer services Dometic A/C's...

My main AC (15000 BTU ducted unit) on my 2009 3600RE is not operating properly. The compressor comes on but the fan will not operate in either the low or high position. Also, the furnace fan will not operate. When you turn the furnace on it will lite, then the fan won't come on and then it shuts...

One thing i read is that there would be no manual transmission available with the 6.7. Of course that wouldn't bother me, but it will some.

There is a check valve on the water heater that is plastic. On my Big Horn, water was leaking from the check valve and when I picked up the line going to it the valve itself cracked and water came gushing out. I replaced it with a brass check valve. Also later on a pinhole leak developed in the...

Update on Water Heater problem: About a week after Cross Country Mobile RV Service was here and fixed my water heater we started having the same problems with the heater. So I opend the side of the basement the water heater is on and started pulling out the storage bins we have there and...

Instead of just taping the control board to the back of the 12 gal. suburban water heater hang it from the plumbing near the water with wire ties, which is what the repair tech did with ours after it got wet laying on the floor near the leaking check valve on the water heater. Also, replace the...

Okay, here is the story guys. The check valve on the water heater (cheap plastic) was leaking and spraying a mist of water on the control board for the water heater which had fallen to the floor. It was just taped to the back of the water heater. When the technician moved the water lines to look...

They do use a digital thermostat on the optional A/C in the bedroom. Why there and not on the main one I cannot figure out. I installed my own digital (Hunter) in mine , it works great.

The water heater is a 12 gal. Suburban. I switched to the other tank and the heater lit and ran until it cycled but it would not relight when the thermostat called for it. I then reset it and it lit again and ran till it reached temp. again and then again it would not relight. Back to the...

Anyone had a problem with the water heater lighting and then going out in a few seconds on gas. It works fine one electric. I thought maybe there were cobwebs etc. in burner tube, I had that happen before in another unit, so I took it off and cleaned the inside with a tube brush. Put it back...

Basically you add air bags to a 3/4 ton Dodge with a cummins and you have a 1 ton. The drive train is exactly the same on the two. The only difference is the overload springs on each side and of course in the case of the dually two more tires and wheels to bear the weight. I tow a 3600RE, which...

Jay, We originally said we'd be bringing two guests. we'd like to bring two more if we can.

I would unplug each speaker wire one at a time from the rear of the unit ands reseat each one in the proper plug. Also make sure the wire connectors are screwed on properly and connetions are made. I've had to do this a couple of times on mine.

Jim, I think you were on 75 and 69 in Oklahoma not 67 and yes 69 is rough from McAlester south. But you missed the best part of it by not heading south at Big Cabin and taking 69 all the way. Lake Eufaula is beautiful, we use to live on it and spend a couple of weeks there in the spring and fall...

There are no channels 2,4,5 etc. anymore they all have a decimal in them. If its not a digital TV you won't be getting anything. If it is an analog buy a digital box and it comes with a remote and then do a scan. If you have a digital tv you'll have to figure out how to do a scan without a...

Speaking of the showerhead, has anyone had a problem with rust coming out out of the bottom mount for the slide rod. We did and I took it apart and found the two screws hold the bottom mount on were not even plated. I cleaned out the cover and the and the mount with WD40 and replace the two...

Jim, Sorry we're full. Have been since early this month. We've been here since Oct. 28th. Got awfully cold in WI in October. But, they really started rolling in here after Christmas. Its not a big park anyway, only 220 sites. Don

Jayc, Carol and I will be there with two guests. We are in Countryside RV park, which is about 4 blocks west of Ron Hoover's in Donna.

Dodge does not have a 6.5 ft. short box. It is a 6 ft. 3 in. bed or 6.25 ft. and it may be even shorter on a Mega Cab, not sure. I would highly recommend a slider hitch, we have a super slide automatic hitch and love it. While Heartland products are much better because of the design of the front...

Oh, and I can watch the local stations over the antenna with this set up also using the atenna in connection on the back of the box and the A/B switch in the bedroom.

OK, The splitters at the docking center and the splitter on the satellite in line (the white line in the picture) are the bi directional kind. The one in the bed room on the lines from the satellite and antenna is not a splitter but an A/B switch to select which signal you want to send to the...

The new Montana's have them and I think the 2010 Big Horn will too. I also had a friend with an Excel that took his off. But I think I'd like it.

Glad I was able to help. It can get really confusing. Especially if you ad direct TV into the mix. I don't think direct tv signals will go thru a splitter. Anyway thats what people that have it tell me. Then there are the people with the old tv's and an hd box. Here at our RV park in the RGV...

I bought 4 of each on Ebay. They were $17.50 for the 16W and $25 for the 30W, with free shipping if you bought a minimum of 4. If you do a search on Ebay you'll find them. The company was in Illinois. We put a 30W and a 16W in the living room, a 30W over the kitchen, a 30W over the dining area...

Yes it can. Anyway, Dish Network can. Here are pictures of my set-up and it works fine with the 2-TV DVR Dish Network. There are two splitters that I added and an A/B switch that I also added and the diplexer where the satellite signal goes into the DVR.

Pics 2 I reduced one to thumbnail size and it is too blurry to view. One more try.
