Thanks Danemayer. In the last 6 years that I have had the rig, there has been no reason for winterization. Florida is too hot. But, frankly I think that I should put one in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dave you hit it out of the park. I went and checked that prior to seeing your message, and the check valve had come apart. I removed the pieces and will have to live without one, at least until I can get it replaced. Question: Do I need to replace it. For those that do not know where the check...

Morning folks, we have been living fulltime in your Rig for for the past 4 months, and we have had zero water issues until now. We woke up this morning to no hot water. Not cold water coming out of the faucets, but no water flowing out the hot water side of my rig (well just a trickle. We went...

I have a cz PO7, fitted with laser sight and a light. It’s a little bulky for concealed carry, so I have ordered a Sig Sauer P365 XL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, seems that I have some serious ex revise in my future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes it is set to auto. Seems that it is simply too hot in Florida right now, and the air on can’t cool the rv sufficiently to turn the air on off. I had a rv aircon guy check it out and it is all good. Incoming air is 76 degrees, and out going is 48 degrees. He did suggest that I modify the...

Thanks, will check it out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks carl Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My 5er has been standing out in the sun and rain for the last 5 years, and the exterior has gone white and dull from oxidation. Any suggestions as to restore is to a somewhat new look with a shine ? Tried wash and wax, had it flayed a few years ago, but that did not help much. So how are you...

Having issues with my Dometic Airconditioners on my BigHorn 3685RL. It still makes the rig cold however, It no longer turns off, and will run all night even after the cooling temp has been reached. Further it is so loud inside the rv that we can no longer hold a conversation. With that being...

They are outside, under the slide out in the corners Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We used pure mint oil, and have not seen a mouse since. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry Carl, I thought that I attached them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I found it, there no seal in the corner of the rig. Well there was a seal but not the correct one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Rotten Bighorn 3685RL floor & Storage Bay Carl, the cost was very inexpensive. The Luxury Vinyl planking cost was $670, (10 boxes) the edge trim was $60 and the material for the repair was less than $100 To lay the floor took me a day and half, and that’s taking it slowly. Sent...

Re: Rotten Bighorn 3685RL floor & Storage Bay Seems that Heartland only secured the the stairs at the back, and when I started to lift them with a bar they swiveled up, so I lifted them and worked under there and then screwed them down once I was done. Occasionally sloppy work has its...

When I was under both slides last night I noticed that the one side of my 2013 Bighorn 3685RL had two large foam seals , one in each corner. They were fitted in to corners of the livingroom side slides. HOWEVER ... There were no such seals fitted in the corners of the kitchen side slide, and...

Re: Rotten Bighorn 3685RL floor & Storage Bay Ok so this has turned into quite the project. I had to replace a few 2x3 braces, and had to clean out the OSB between the wall and the flooring, where the sides actually rest on the OSB flooring. To replace that I had to cut the marine ply...

Sounds like the same area that I had the soft spot. When you open it up make sure that you remove all of the rotten OSB as that stuff turns into paper mush if it stays wet. Once you have removed all of the rot, then use a heater blower to ensure that everything is dry. You are going to have to...

SLO I had no indication of an issue until one morning the flooring in front of the fridge felt a little soft Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Rotten Bighorn 3685RL floor & Storage Bay Thanks Carl, gave it a quick look and didn't see any screws, but I am now going to dig. Gavin

Yeah, I voltage tested everything and I have 120v at the element, and I have continuity on the element. Still not hot water via electricity. I did replace the element a couple of years ago when I first discovered this, and sliced my pinkie finger deeply into the joint and had to have...

I am starting a new thread to document the water damage and repair process of the water damage of my Bighorn 3685RL. I will be posting before and after pictures as I move through this repair process, as well as the new LVP flooring that will replace the linoleum and carpeting in the living and...

Doing extensive work to fix my rotten floors in my BigHorn, and while everything is all opened up I figured that I would build some storage in the basement. So other than the MORRYDE system, are there any other basement storage ideas, and custom builds. Ideas and photos please. Gavin

So I have had this soft spot develop in my floor in front of the fridge and at the bottom of the stairs. I cut away the linoleum and found the wooden joints were completely saturated and rotted away. The osb was like mush. I had to cut away about 8ft of flooring and will have to remove the...

Thanks for the insight, I am my solar running off 6v batteries currently, and †hey are super heavy. The 2 reasons I want to use lithium is weight and the smaller package. If those were not a concern then I would simply add more 6v units/

Greetings again. Well life has a way of getting in the way, and my wife & I had a hiatus from RV-ing for the last 2 years, however we are now rejoining the community. We had our 5er standing outside on our property and it has taken a beating in the Texas weather. The RV developed a large soft...

Well it is Sunday morning and the weather has finally allowed me to work outside and repair the furnace. I have to replace the furance blower wheel and the sailswitch. To do that I had to remove the entire furnace as and then take the darned thing apart. So it is working now and I had to...

Pictures of what parts - or Damage ? I will photograph the wheel when I remove it. Here is the damaged sailswitch Here is the link to the replacement blower wheel. I am replacing the fragile plastic one with this metal unit...

Ok, so I received the new Dinosaur board for the 12v propane furnace, and installed it which was amazingly easy (OMG something easy on an RV lol ) Anyway the blower kicked in so I am guessing that something went bad on the original board. Sadly that was not the end of the issues as I still had...

Thanks Dana, I have ordered a replacement board.

Thanks Dana, Ok so the blower motor is NOT running at any point, though I can hear a click every 30 seconds, but 3 clicks only I am in the Dallas area so altitude is not an issue. Battery voltage at this point is 12.34v, and I have 61v being sent by my solar system, so battery power is good...

Thanks for the info. Where do I find that pilot light, I assume that it is a different pilot light to the hot water heater? AND ... once I find where that pilot light is and find that it is not burning, what is the solution . I say this for I see no obvious pilot light anywhere near the...

Re: Propane Heater stoPeacepped working 2013 BH 3685 Dave the batteries are charging (float charge right now), I have solar system and an inverter. No sun no charge and the cold drains them. I will check during the day as we have no clouds and will see if the unit starts a little later. I...

Ok so my furnace started working intermittently over the 3 weeks that I was out of country, and the wife about froze. (Unhappy wife is not a good thing. Anyway ?I have been through the debugging plan and have searched threads for intermittent issues. What have I found ... 1. The aircon works...

Upgraded my rig to 20" tires (from 18") and fitted Michelin ATX. Awesome ride

Yes thank you, i did know that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry just getting to this as i am out of country. Was not suggesting that there were no 90 degree sharkbite fittings, just that the little town on the ID / WY border did not have any, and i had to make do with what was available Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We have to work in our rv and require fulltime network. We have 2 verizon mifis with 25gb each 2 phones at 22gb each Total $203 per month Then we have a dual sim phone with an Att and a tmobile sim in it, plus a weboost rv So far we have managed fine and have yet to run out of data, but it has...

Sorry for the slow replies but I am out of country until early December. I replaced the crappy Aims Inverter Charger with a Victron unit and started going through everything that I could think of that was drawing power, and found that my RV Refrigerator was on AC and not propane and it was...
