Jim, Will #'s 18 and 25 be talking about fresh water pump solutions and/or ways to make them quieter? If not, can we add?

Jim, Don't you mean Thursday, June 13th? instead of 17th?

Hi Dan, You have been very helpful in the past and I enjoyed meeting you at the National Rally in Goshen. I am wanting to install a WEBOOST cell phone amplifier and wanted to find out your suggestions on best way to install. Most blogs suggest to install the outside antenna on the ladder, but...

We saw at the Goshen Rally last year that they were putting the Mor-Ryde steps on the LandMarks with power assist. But Mor-Ryde did not have this option for the after market. Has anyone seen this option for the aftermarket yet? It made lifting the steps a lot easier for my DW.

Thank you very much, we are loving it!!

thank you very much. And we have and we will enjoy! Don

OR< you can connect it to the trailer lights and it will only be on when your headlights are on./ Don

I have everything wired except the Hot Water Heater and the A/C's on a separate sub-panel. I used the Blue Sea 8 circuit panel, it fits nicely on the back wall of my pantry. No issues with the Magnum, although it does use a lot of amps to run. It is the only unit that is still made in the...

Good guess. Behind the basement wall toward the back side, was the factory installed converter and transfer switch. It was a perfect place. I have AGM batteries laying on their side, so no need for ventilation. It was perfect. The batteries weigh over a hundred pounds a piece, that was 500...

Gorgeous!! Where exactly is that? Don

Solar is definitely in my plans, but need to retire first, so I can get out west where boon docking pays off.

I have now owned my Big Horn for 18 months and thought I would publish the upgrades that I have made. In addition, I thought it was only fair to also publish the repairs that I have had to make. All in all, I am extremely happy with my Big Horn, I searched for two years before making this...

Hi Dan, We met you at the Heartland Rally recently in Goshen. We would like to look into upgrading our appliances in our Big Horn to the Furrion. Do you know if there is any literature out on doing this? Our Atwood oven is not very usable and my wife hates it. The convection oven is not much...

David, Do you have pictures of your repair to the fenders. I am interested in doing the same thing. Thank you,

ON my rig, Big Horn, I was able to lower the underbelly cover by removing the bolts. There were a lot of bolts, but otherwise doable. The present sensors are on the port side, but the most flat surface of the tanks is on the starboard side (door side). That would be the side you would want to...

Ok, Let me know how it goes. Thanks,

Jesse, Sorry for the delay in getting back with you. I was successful in pulling the underside down and getting to the tanks. I ordered the 12" but had to cut them down to their minimum height as the flat side of the tank is only about 8 ". This is true for the Grey and Black, not sure about...

Thank you for your help on this. Don

Yes, That would be great. My biggest concern is what type of sub-panel should I use, where to install it? It looks like most of my A/C outlets that I use are on one side of the 50 AMP and only the front A/C is on the other side, is this correct? Just going by the amperage readings, I have not...

I would like to see a comprehensive suggested way of upgrading your 5th wheel to using an inverter. Including what needs to stay, (i.e. converter, switches, etc.) and what needs to go. Best place for installation, some do's and don't's. Thank you,

Yes, I always do. the dealer tried to fix it, to no avail. I received the dimensions from the factory, so I will invest in the SEELEVEL II system. It should solve the problem once and for all. It would be impossible to dry camp without knowing for sure the levels of your tanks. Don

I have not heard of the Horst probes before, sounds like a much simpler process than the Garnet mentioned below. Please let me know how they work when you get them installed. Thank you, Don

Jess, Thank you for your response, I too am looking at the Garnet, but need to know the height of the tank so I can order the correct sensor. Sincerely, Don

I am very frustrated with my black tank monitoring system. I have followed all of the forum and factory suggested procedures to clean out the black tank, but as soon as we flush only about 6 times, the monitor is reading 2/3 full. I know this can't be true, as when I do a dump, not very much...

I am very happy for you that you have owned so many RV's. We had to save quiet a while to get this one as this is a one time life time investment for us, hence why we want to try to keep it in as good as shape as possible. Sincerely, Don

UPDATE: I received an unexpected call from the factory yesterday after posting this concern. He too, suggested the Lippert Slicker option, but also stated that the slides could be adjusted very easily. After further discussion, I told him that I planned to attend the National Rally in Goshen...

Good to know. Thank you,

Dan, Thank you for the speedy reply. I don't think the Lippert Solution will work for me as they seem to be for a different shaped enclosed slide. However, I may pursue the adjustment idea once I have done some more research on the ramifications. Obviously, I don't want to do anything that...

I recently had my Big Horn to the dealer in Elkhart, IN and complained about the slides making dents in the kitchen floor, the dining room carpet and the bedroom carpet. He told me to use a thin piece of plexi-glass to protect the floor. I got to thinking about this, and I paid more than $70K...

Pam and Lyle, and all of the Heartland team, We really enjoyed meeting all of you and really appreciate you welcoming us into your family. Looking forward to many more Rally's.

I am glad you were able to get a site, as you can see, even though I went to the park, I was not able get a specific spot. You must have the magic touch. HA!

Are you afraid that you might have fan problems? What fans did you install in the refrigerator? Sounds like a good fix if the long term wear is not going to cause a problem.

I too have the new Norcold 18 cu ft. refrigerator in my new 3670EL Big Horn. Unfortunately, finding the right temperature where the freezer will keep things frozen and the refrigerator will not freeze the vegetables is still a problem as there is only one adjustment. The freezer and...

Pam and Lyle, Since we live only a little over an hour away, we went to see the campground today. We made our reservations but was told that you would be assigning sites. If possible, due to the size of our unit, we would like to request either site 29 or 31 if possible. Thank you, we are...

Thanks, Will do! looking forward to seeing you there.

Lyle, My wife, Jan and I plan to attend the Heartland Rally in September. We plan to arrive on 9/22 and leave on 9/25. We have tried to make reservations through KOA, however, they have no record of 30 sites that have been put on hold. I checked with both the national reservation and the...

I do have the Goodyear G-614, so I know that the tires and the axles will handle the load, even if the sticker does not say so. As they say below, I do have the peace of mind knowing that I am the safest I can be. Of course, I will not try to exceed the rated 16,000 pounds for the RV, but I...

When I purchased my 3760EL in Feb, 2016, I upgraded to the 8,000 lb. axle, however, on the specification tag on the side of the vehicle, it says 6,700 lb per axle maximum load. Did the factory install the wrong sticker? If so, how do I get this replaced?

Yea, a heck of a place for our maiden voyage.

Re: City Water does not work after de-winterizing Yep! Tell me I feel like fool. HA! That did the trick. I did not see the four letter city in the dark last night, and thought that normal was the correct position. It works great. Thanks to all who responded. This forum is terrific...
