    Repairing Blinds

    Hi All, Has anyone had any luck re-stringing the double blinds? I have an 09 3055RL and one of the small blind strings broke in the front of the main slide. I looked while on the trip and cannot even figure out how the valance is attached or if the blind head will come out some how. I saw a...

    Spray in bed liner

    I am picking up a new truck tomorrow and plan to have a spay in bed liner put in. My original thought was to have the hitch rails mounted first and then spray around them to keep a metal to metal contact. I have read the reese hitch instructions and done some on line research and it appears that...

    Route to rally

    Hope someone has driven to Winchester Bay before. I was looking for the best route from the Salem area and it looked like I-5 to Hwy 38 was the best. But I saw Elk Creek tunnel on the map and checked on line and it stated 12'3" clearance :confused: and I believe my 3055 is 12'6" :eek:. DW called...

I would say 1/2 to 1 inch, it is hard to tell through the carpet. It is very spongy feeling and you...

    Flair Airbed couch

    Has anyone had trouble with the arm on the couch breaking? My left hand side started wobbling quite a bit and I was afraid a slight lean on it would break it completely off.

    Gear Ratios

    Hello All, I have a question that has been bugging me for some time. I have a '01 Chevy K2500HD 8.1L with 373 gears.

    Hello Experts, I have a question that may sound dumb and I think I read about it before but could not find it in a search. I am leaving on a trip to the Oregon coast and the day I leave they are predicting 50-60 mph gusts. What do you owners consider save winds to pull a Big Horn in? I may have...

    I have a question for the factory and it concerns the shelf above the entry door in the "08 and "09 brochures and the demo trailer at the show when we ordered ours.
