    2019 F450 King Ranch and 2018 Bighorn 3870FB

    As many in the midwest know we do not keep our toys very long before we (mainly I get the bug). We are upgrading again and are selling our whole rig. We already have a deal done but do not pick up the new rig until May 25th so there is time for someone to get a good deal. 2019 Ford F450 4X4...

    Side camera power

    At the national rally I installed the Furrion side marker cameras in place of the 2 front side marker lights. They work good but the door side is partially blocked by the awning. I moved it to the other side of the awning mounting channel and fished wires to the front bay. I can not for the...

    Niagara Falls

    Quick question. We are possibly heading the the first weekend of October. Planning on the KOA on the Canadian side. If we stay on the US side we will still drive over the boarder for site seeing. We have been to the US side of the falls but not camping.

    Winegard Trav'ler install

    I installed it during the pre-rally. Thanks to Don Gilbert for helping me get it on the roof. The rest was pretty easy. I used the mounting plate for added strength. The "pre-wire" for the power cable, located in the ceiling of the bedroom, had a female connector and the one from the sat...

    LED Entry light removal

    I needed to remove the entry light above the door so I could install the Furrion camera at the rally. It has openings to pry the cover off but they were difficult to see since there was so much caulking. I have included a couple of pictures to show the pry points and the sticker with the part...

    New Bighorn with new truck

    Here are a couple of pictures before we head out tomorrow for our 1st trip in the new coach. I am quite shocked at how much squat there is in my new F450. Defiantly looks like I will need to add air bags. This is before loading it up completely and not to mention we are adding a washer and...

    Leaf spring rust

    I picked up my new coach Thursday night but due to the rain I was unable to do much to it. Yesterday I finally had a chance to start my projects and while installing the Torklift glowsteps I noticed the leaf springs are completely rusted over. This is a new coach that had been sitting on the...

    Just picked up 3870FB

    We just picked our new one up. Traded in the Traveler 32RS for a year end closeout 3870FB. Now the fun begins. All the RG6 connectors I looked at were not secured very well so I will be replacing all of those, the rear camera is always on (did not try with the disconnect off) but in my...

    Adding EMS to BH 3870

    I dont pick up my coach till Friday (hopefully) but I already ordered the Progressive Industries HW50C and was looking at pictures I took. It looks like it as simple as taking the basement wall down by the steps and mounting it there. Has anyone installed one on their 3870? /

    Satellite Dish - Self or Dealer install

    I am upgrading to the Bighorn and it is prewired for the Traveler. Dealer quoted over $600 for the install. I do not have a problem installing my self I just do not like getting on the roof. If I drill into the roof do I have to hit studs or is the roof strong enough? I have plenty of dicor...

    MORryde pin box and Andersen

    I did not see a specific sub forum for pin boxes so I thought I would ask here. I take deliver on a new BH 3870FB that comes with the MORrydepin box.

    Rear overhang 36' vs 43' 5th wheel

    With the extra 7' of length, where is it added? I do not have the new one yet but am concerned about where I store it and if it will fit. I am hoping it is kind of split down the middle with 3.5' extra length behind the axles. Thanks

    Possible upgrade to longer 5th wheel

    Our original dealer sent us an email with year end close outs and they have a left over 2018 Bighorn 3870FB for 45% off MSRP. I called our salesman and they still have it. Out of curiosity I asked for a trade in number and was expecting the worst. The number they came back with made doing the...

    TorkLift install

    Did anyone use the spacer kit for their install. On mine there is a gap on each side but I was able to still tighten it down. Not sure if it is worth adding the spacers.

    SOLVED: Leveling nor slides working (Problem found)

    Went to the storage lot today to test some video files on the TV but could not get the slides out to get back there. I tried the leveling jacks and nothing. Solenoid clicks (strong click so I assume it is good) 14V at the solenoid with my generator hooked up. Was at 12.4V when I got to the RV...

    Tire wear

    Outside of rear tire on only the off door side. Other 3 tires look good. Any ideas. They are Rainier ST235/85/R16 F rated tires. Tires were at 95 psi all summer then before our November trip, they read 87 psi (due to outside temp) so I filled back up.

    Storage under 5th wheel stairs

    I framed in the back of my stairs leading to the bedroom in the basement. I am trying to figure out how to hinge one or both of my stairs leading to the bedroom so I could have more storage for say dirty shoes etc. Any ideas? I plan on getting rid of the carpet on them and using some left...

    Drain re-routing ideas?

    I need to re-rout the drain for the shower to make room for a dual filter system. I was just going to make it a portable unit but after seeing the post with the filters on a hinged door I decided I like that idea better. In the picture you can see the drain at a 45 degree angle right through...

    Fuse size

    So I just blew 2 300 amp ANL fuses on the input to my inverter. It is a newer install. 3KW inverter/charger with 4/0 cable. I think I am fusing it correctly but this is what happens. Plugged into 20a house plug with 1 AC on and the fridge. Both are on the same leg. 1st time is happened I...

    EMS install problem

    I installed the Progressive industries HW50C (the one with the remote) and I am getting an E-9 error (Data link down). No other errors show up. I have it connected to my inverter generator since I am in the storage lot with no access to shore power. I called PI and they insist that it is the...

    DC wire sizing

    I am getting ready to install a 3000 watt inverter/charger. The manual says minimum 4/0 gauge cable from the inverter/charger to the battery's if under 3 meters. My question is can I keep the same 2ga cable that runs to the current charger and move it to the breaker panel DC side? I currently...

    Solar wire gauge

    I will be using 2 renogy 160W flexible panels, 40A solar charger, and 3000W inverter/charge. I have 4 6V 235 amp batteries that the dealer installed and all 2GA wiring. I am pretty sure I need to change all of the 2GA to 4/0 from the inverter/charger to the batteries with a 400A fuse and 8GA...

    Wires from roof?

    I climbed on the roof for the first time and see no "solar conduit" that it showed in the spec sheet. I am trying to figure out where to run the wires from the panels. I am initially installing 2 160 watt Renogy flexible panels and was trying to figure out how to get the wire to the front...

    Water in basement

    Whenever we get a good rain I have water puddles on the non door side of my basement. I am having a hard time finding where it is coming in from. I have the wall down on that side since I am getting ready to clean up the cabling and I do not see any leaks in the plumbing. Any thoughts?

    First trip we will have to stop along the way

    What does everyone do that can not get in the refrigerator, due to the island, unless you extend the slides. We plan on stopping half way for fuel and to eat. On mine I have not found a way to open the slides unless the auto level has been performed.

    Electrical on the pin box

    So that ugly quad electrical box needs to be relocated. Has anyone made it more appealing? I was thinking about just using some heat shrink and a way to secure the lines inside the box. Has anyone installed a quick connector on the pin box to eliminate the connection box?

    First trip out with new Camper

    We were a bit anxious and nervous at the same time. We had a lot of time inside due to the rain so we noticed more things than we normally would. Half of the MCD shades were installed so they were on the outside of the side curtains causing them not to work correctly. I had to take down the...
