On the road and want to check torque on my BC ( just had new tires installed). Off hand does anyone know what size the lug nuts are? Need to buy the socket and my first crack at it was way off ( too large). Toolkit I have with me only goes to 3/4", and my spark plug socket at 13/16 is still...

As usual, your help is very good. detailed, and very appreciated. Thank you. It sounds like the issue as I drained a lot out of the fresh water tank, the overflow stops for a while, only to start again later. I have been using the "City" connection when at the park. I understand the...

Should this be normal for Fresh Water at 2/3 full? Both sides draining for quite a while. Thanks for fast reply

On a 2015 BC, I have two small 90 degree cream colored drains, one on each side, about 1/4 inch diameter soming through the frame. On one side its above the tires, and the other it's slightly to the rear of the tires. Does anyone know where these drains are from? What to they drain? Rained...

Yes, I discovered this was true myself. Then my dealer had the gall to tell me I had bad batteries and needed replacement. They couldn't tell what or who the manufacturer was! Then, when they installed the new batteries, they miswired the coach! Thanks to danmeyer, I was able to get the...

We have sold our home in California and are moving to South Dakota. Does anyone have any experience of being on the road in cold weather with a BC? I have found videos on Youtube, but most were parked in one location, while we will be making our way on the road. Of most concern is preventing...

I am getting ready to register my Big Country in South Dakota. I have been told I need the "Unloaded Vehicle Weight" documentation. Short of emptying it out and weighing it, how can I get this documentation? By that I mean something acceptable to the State of South Dakota. Any help would be...

Thanks everyone!

Am looking to add a satellite system to our Rig. Currently is a 2015 BC3750 with connectors in the Side of RV. Found the 2 connectors for Front and bedroom. I have found the alternate connector in the Living area, but am uncertain how to "switch" the wiring from "Park Cable/Antenna" to...

Thanks, Dan! Lots of help, as usual. That was exactly why I wanted to ask. I didn't want to hide bigger problems.

I have the Lippert 6 point leveler. Had problems with it stalling and starting. Dealer said it was wired to the wrong sized breaker ( 30 amp) and was tripping and resetting. Makes sense. But what they did was install a new 80AMP Marine Breaker. I find it hard to believe that Heartland did...

Re: Battery not charging/ no 12v when off Shore power SOLVED: Dan and all - Once I got back home and didn't need to worry about a refrigerator keeping cool, I started exploring with a voltmeter at the buss bar. What I discovered and later tested/verified, was that the dealer had put the DC...

I have the Lippert 6 point levelers on my BC and I believe I am low on hydraulic fluid. Have read the documentation I found here online ( nothing provided by dealer). It says ask the manufacturer for the type of fluid used but I wanted to check here first. From reading the forum, I believe it...

Re: Battery not charging/ no 12v when off Shore power Thanks, Dan. After reviewing the drawing and taking another look at the basement, it appears I have a line from the converter to the batteries, and that's why I do have 12v when on shore power. But if you look at my attached photo ( in...

Re: Battery not charging/ no 12v when off Shore power Thanks, Dan. I'll study your drawings a bit. All 12v works well when on shore power, but nothing inside works when NOT of shore power. Not even the tank level indicators. - - - Updated - - - Bill - Thanks for the tips. I have a basic...

Ever since we first bought our BC a year ago now, we have had no charging of my 12v batteries. Either on the road or on shore power. Been at the dealer 3 or 4 times. When we stop somewhere I need to plug in a battery charger to keep the system going ( we have a converter and residential...

Re: EVENT: North American Heartland Rally: NV, Las Vegas - 10/6/2016 to 10/9/2016 How can I verify my attendance dates and paid status for Las Vegas? Been on the road and have no access to my regular computer. Sure looking forward to our first rally! Steve

We have the Residential side-by-side. Our unit has been in the shop several times. First we couldn't keep the inverter running while on the road due to bad batteries, bad relays, ad nauseum. We have just lost our third load of food due to it stopping for some reason when on the road...

We had the same problem ( among others) and got some rubberized reusable twist ties from Home depot for the doors. We always secure the doors before taking off.

I have a 2015 BC. In the basement the batteries have a cover over them that requires removal for servicing the batteries. I have to completely disconnect the 12v cables to get enough play to get at the battery fill ports. If I am on Shore power ( 120v) am I able to disconnect the 12v cables...

We were talking vinyl... as in the photo.

Do you mean a Silhouette or the Decal? I have also found recently that there is special paper from www.papilio.com that you can print out stickers or decals with an inkjet printer. So far they have looked pretty good as long as you start with a nice hi-res image. If you want an decal like...

Just trying to prepare ahead of an emergency.. Does anyone know the recommended slide maintenance (lubrication?) and how to manually retract the slides on a 2015 BC 3750RL in the event of a malfunction? Thanks!

Thanks Doug - Yes, thats what I'm looking for. Do you recal what they called it? Or just looked around the store?

Does this mean no one else can attend? Or we just won't be with the group ( which is ok) I added my name to the list months ago but haven't heard anything.... We were going to stop at Jackson on the way back from National ( If I can get those reservations!)

I have a 2015 Big Country without a Generator. I am adding some electrical components and want to add another wood panel to the back wall as Heartland has done. More mounting locations. Simple, but I was wondering if anyone has found a similar fabric in fabric centers, etc. We are over...

UPDATE: First of Thanks everyone for the suggestions. ndmac - what a cool device. Thanks! I called Heartland and they said no, they don't connect TV output to the Entertainment Center. He also said he didn't know why not but that was how it was. My rig is a 2015 BC 3650RL. In it I have a...

Thanks, John I found that one. I just wanted to avoid bringing cables to hang out in front when there is a Rear Aux input. If I don't find out whats normal ( will probably ask Heartland) I'll pull the unit myself and figure it out. After over 40 years in computer work I better be able to...

I have a new 2015 Big Country 3650RL with the Jensen Entertainment System installed below the TV. Works well for everything (Radio, Bluetooth, DVD, etc) but am unable to get sound from the TV. TV speakers are only source. Have tried all input sources on the Jensen to no avail. I see an...

Re: ATF: Big Country - Missing Features- Is it common? Oregon_Camper - Surprisingly - NO, not CW this time. If you wish to know, PM me and I'll let you know. It is a fairly large chain, but not as big as CW.

Add 2 from Northern California to the list! Steve & Mary Howard So many people to meet!

Re: ATF: Big Country - Missing Features- Is it common? Bob & Patty - Yes it was on the spec sheet when we signed the paperwork. It was bought off the lot. Dan - I took your advice and called customer service myself. ( Best advice) What I found was a very helpful tech who explained to me...

My unit (3650 RL) was supposed to come with the wireless remote Control System. It even shows on the equipment list. Since I did not get a remote I asked the dealer to look into it while it was in their shop. We discovered my unit had not been wired at all for it, and was missing both the...

I am one of those with new rigs "hijacked" (2015 Big Country) as you so very well put it. So far, it's been at the Dealer for 2 months now with no end in sight. Well, at least they won't return my calls. As far as I know they are still looking for a water leak that appeared as soon as we...

Sorry Bob, thought I replied earlier. I have nothing yet, but am looking at the wi-fi ranger. I want to place the equipment in the cabinet above the TV in the living area of the BC. Unfortunately, it's on the slide so I am being very cautious. I'm a retired Software/Network Engineer so the...

If anyone has a Cricut or Silhouette ( or knows someone deep into crafting) you can easily make your own decals. I have had so much fun with my Silhouette and all the things you can make with it. I have made decals much like Jasson007 in Louisiana has for local businesses and friends. Sadly...

Welcome Anthony and Kaye! While I live in Orovile now, I lived in Tracy from 1989-2005 and know th town well. Was just back there last weekend. Just bought a new rig this year ourselves. Hope to meet you at one of the gatherings.

Nice installation. Ours is a dealer installed but looks just like yours. How is your dryer performance? Our first try took 3 hours to dry a load. I'm suspecting a vent issue but am curious about how your is working out? Steve

Has anyone run coax from the roof for either wifi or Amateur Radio? I have a 2015 BC 3650 and want to run into my entertainment center above the TV. Looking for ideas on best practices for bringing cable into the RV for WI-FI. Many years as a computer engineer makes the remainder of...

Re: Possible Northern California Unofficial Campout Bill - You can count us in. We live in the Oroville area and have been wishing for a Northern Calif gathering. If I can help any, let me know. Steve W6AIX
