How about other 12V stuff like furnace, pump, slides, etc?

I didn’t contact them. I’m sure they would have replaced the parts, but I feel safer with my metal solution.

We have the steps, and the railing. Very good product, and a huge improvement over the originals. We had one problem in that the plastic brackets which attach the handrail to the RV body are not durable. Both brackets failed (at the screw-holes) soon after installation. I have fashioned...

The fireplace in our BigCountry has failed. What is the procedure for removal? Do I pry away the decorative frame?

We have a 2011 Big Country. It is fitted mostly with PEX, but behind the “valve panel” and around the water heater they got cheap and lazy and substituted flexible 1/2” flexible hose (like the winterizing suction hose), still using PEX crimp clamps and weak plastic fittings. After numerous...

Mine does not have those valves. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We have a grey 2011 Big Country with the infamous end cap chalking problem. (If you have it, you know of where I speak.) Over the past years I have treated it regularly with a combination of Meguires "One Step Compound 67" and their "Flagship Marine Wax". This brings back a "reasonable"...

Here is a photo of my switch panel area. (Click the image for a larger view) The panel is a sheet of 1/4" plywood held captive on all four sides by 1x3 wood framing. The panel is behind that framing as illustrated by the slip of paper that I have inserted behind the framing on the lower...

Our 2011 Big Country (4 slideouts) has a hydraulic system to deploy/retract the slides. There are no individual controls per slide, just a single control to activate the pump. So, for example, when you deploy the slides there is pressure applied to all slide rams, and the slides deploy in...

Thanks, Dan.

Is it possible to obtain a schematic or wiring diagram for our rigs? I had an electrical problem on our BC which did not allow us to use the wall switch to extend/retract the slides. (We could control the slides using the remote dongle, or from the switch near the hydraulic pump.) Pulled the...

Re: Lippert remote control "central box" Yes, I hoped that might be a solution, and I unscrewed every switch/control, but each has only a small hole. None of the holes are large enough to do more than jiggle some wires around. They don't reveal the relay board to view. Plan now is...

Lippert remote control "central box" I now know where it is. Exercising the remote and holding an ear to the wall I can hear relay clicks in the space behind the switch cluster area. There is NO removable access panel here. My switch for the slides is inoperative (I can still...

We have a 2011 BC 3510RL with the Lippert remote control "dongle" (controls landing gear, awnings, slideouts, etc.) Where is the central box/board (I assume it has a batch of relays on it) hidden in our rig? I opened the "back wall" in the pass-though area and couldn't find it there. Some...

Sidewall 1 steel ply, tread 4 steel plies. You can see them next fall on site 323 at Canyon Vistas!

I put these on our BigCountry. AWESOME tire! https://www.advantatire.com/commercial-truck/trailer/av3000t/ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Our BC 3510RL started having a "damp" floor on the port side of the pass through near the control center. Pulled open that false wall behind the control center, and found a couple of plumbing joints had "almost invisible" leaks back in that jungle of valves and bypasses. These joints were ones...

Our 2011 BC has rain gutters the entire length of both sides at the roofline. (Thank you Heartland!) It also has a rain gutter over the dining/couch slide on the starboard side. But over the 3 port side slides (B/R, kitchen, entertainment) there is no gutter. Any know a good reason? :confused:

We have a 2011 Big Country. The front and rear caps have been a constant headache to keep in good shape. The finish has NOT been neglected. I clean and wax the exterior twice a year using decent products (Maguair "Flagship" and similar good brands). Despite a LOT of hard work the front and...

I made my own at the router table. The MDF ones were crap. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

How do you remove the (entertainment center) TV from the wall.

Thanks. I’ll check that area again.

My rig is a 2011 BC 3510RL. The rear of the switch panel (located on the port side of the stairwell) doesn’t look easy to access without damage. Can I get in there by removing the false bulkhead at the rear of the “basement”?

My Big Country has a switch (near the **** floor) to turn on the step light. But it has no switch to turn on the "scare lights" high on either side of the trailer. Only way to control those is with the Lippert "remote". Who thinks up this stuff? I bet they saved $0.79 by leaving out an...

In the meantime, just get one of these https://www.rvautoparts.com/Valterra-City-Water-Fill-34-Male-Hose-Plug-White-T1020-1EVP_p_2377.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7YfVzZ2z1wIVELXACh0regWFEAQYCSABEgIGjfD_BwE Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yup, that was a problem, but I reinvented that top attachment up at 12 feet that you talk about (no idea about any 11 foot point). I simply leave the top pin in place, and slotted the end of that tube (instead of a drilled hole). Now I can do everything from a 10” tall stool on the roller end...

Continuing my awning support project, I have now fabricated upright "legs". (Click photos for better detail) The material is 1-1/2" x 1/8" aluminum angle stock, available at Home Depot, etc. I bought two 8' sections and two 3' sections. I shortened the 8' section down to 6-1/2'. The...

(Disclaimer --- this is an amateur Do-It-Yourownself project. Proceed at your own risk.) My Big Country has an electric awning. The design is not very robust, and a passing gust of wind can cause all sorts of havoc because the awning tube basically just "floats" out there on the end of the...

Yes, this will be our 15th winter there. Site 323. You?

We are snowbirds, spending about 5 months in Gold Canyon, Arizona each winter. Both of us have various hobbies which require a "worktable" from time to time. Our couch just consumed room, hardly every sat on it. So we took out the couch, and moved the easy chairs to the curb slide behind the...

Never dabbled in CB, so I can't comment on how useful it might be. I've been a ham for over 50 years, and a good dual-band (VHF/UHF) transcieiver can be a good "call for help" solution (carry a repeater guide), but so can a simple cell phone. But ham radio is largely useless for checking on...

Thanks, Alan! I haven't sorted out exactly how the upper end of the horizontal tubes are fitted to the body of the RV, and the photos aren't sharp enough for me to figure it out. It "appears" that the "flat" end of the tube lies horizontally on top of the other existing arm and is "wedged" by...

We have a 2011 BC 3510RL. It has the flimsy electric awning (I liked the older manually operated design SOOOOOOO much better). When parked "for the winter" in Arizona, we like to put up sunscreens on the side and both ends of the awning. Naturally this is very risky, because the weakling...

I've got it covered. :rolleyes: July 8th, 1958 (Over 59 years ago) I "raised my right hand and solemnly swore". Served until Nov 10th, 1979.

No, you don't NEED to be a Veteran for admittance, but it's a good idea to be one anyhow.

I just installed a "Tire Minder" "A1A" TPMS system on our rig. It appears that the transmitters (on each wheel) are continuously active (as opposed to activated by motion as seen in some systems). Does anyone here have this system, and what is your experience with battery life on the...

I would add the auxiliary fuel tank as the first item. My truck has a native fuel capacity of 35 gallons, and I added a 51 gallon aux tank. It is SO much less stressful to know I have an 800+ mile range, as opposed to needing to start watching for fuel around noon each day. Our usual habit...

Thanks!
