    Roof Issues

    While getting our 2012 Big Country ready to sell, I noticed the rubber roof is like a marshmallow — squishy. But also the front sub roof is spongy. It appears the seal on the front air has been compromised. Looking further, there are only two bolts holding the unit down. There are two in the...

    Wilderness RV Mattress

    Old thread, I know.... But I wanted to give a plug for Wilderness. We bought a firm king and absolutely love it. We full time, so we’ll see how long it lasts. Right now we’re happy, happy, happy!

    Two year old water heater leaking

    Hey David-Steph! I still smile when I read your posts. We are David and Steph also! :) Yes, the support lady told me to mail pics in to verify the issue and said the techs could make the determination. The lady that received my pics wasn't so cordial.... The place I purchased from is out...

    Bighorn 3855FL Replacement Sofa

    We're in a 2012 Big Country. All the original furniture was peeling, so we replaced last year with LaZboy residential stuff. We opted for a double love seat with recliners and a single recliner. We've loved it. We were able to get wall-a-way units that take up much less space because they...

    Two year old water heater leaking

    It has a plastic plug. Sadly, I cannot find my receipt, but I will contact Dometic and see if anything can be done. Thanks!

    Two year old water heater leaking

    It's a Dometic. I pulled the insulation off and hooked it up again and it blew a pretty good hole by the corroded place on top. I guess I'm in the market for a new one.... What can be done to keep the from happening? Again, it's only two years old. Thanks!

    Two year old water heater leaking

    Hey, all! I’ve pulled my heater out to find a leak since the connections all looked good. On the top I found a corrosion spot with a trail running down. Is a corrosion leak a possibility? I haven’t put it under pressure since I pulled it. IT’S ONLY TWO YEARS OLD!! 😩😩

    New Carpet

    Parts do and parts don’t. On our slides there is none. There is in the living area and bedroom.

    New Carpet

    That’s exactly what I did with our last trailer and it turned out very well. But that was 10 years ago before these 60’s had me in their grip! 🤪🤪 I will remove it all myself this time, but I think I’ll hire the youngsters to lay it.

    New Carpet

    Ah! I should have mentioned I am doing all the pulling of old carpet and emptying out the unit before they arrive. But, yes, they do RV's from time to time and came out to measure themselves. Thanks for the replies! It makes me comfortable with the price we've been given. DH

    New Carpet

    We are looking at re-carpeting our 38.5 ft. Big Country. We’ve chosen a pretty decent carpet and just got the estimate for the job. It came in at a little under $1,500. I was curious if this is in line with other jobs you’ve had done. Graci!

    Carpet Re-do

    Im finishing up another project, but I’m thinking to do the same - a piece at a time. There’s a carpet place that will work with me. It’ll save me a dollar!

    Gatlinburg, TN

    Looks like you have some good suggestions for parking; now, let’s talk FOOD! 🤪🤪 Smoky Mountain Brewery (we like Gatlinburg the best) for pizza. The Old Mill and Applewood Farmhouse for home style cooking. If you get out to Townsend, Trailhead Steakhouse. For a good ol’ corndog: Fannie...

    Carpet Re-do

    Thanks, all. On our last one I removed the carpet intact and took it to a local shop where they cut it to the exact shape and bound all the edges. It turned out very well. The problem: the 40’s were then; the 60’s are now - and they’re kicking my rear end! 😩😩 As for having no carpet...

    Carpet Re-do

    Curious as to if anybody has tackled re-carpeting their self. I did our old 34’ tag along, but the Big Country? Our vinyl is still in great shape, but the carpet is getting rough. Does anybody have an idea what it would cost for a professional? Does the factory do anything like this? DH

    Surface of my sofas starts to dissolve...

    We experienced the same issue and replaced with Lazy Boy. The mistake we made was buying regular sized pieces. It doesn't matter with the love seat, but the recliner in the back is just a couple inches shy of being able to clear the slides when they come in.... I now have to remove its back...

    Hanging a Microwave

    That might be the option depending on how the new mount is designed. Thanks!

    Hanging a Microwave

    Hey, Dan! Thanks for the reply. My main issue is that the new wall mount was down below the old one and there was nothing substantial in the wall to mount it to. I’m going to try to find one that is the same height as the old one. Thanks for the pics! It looks like y’all installed a...

    Hanging a Microwave

    We’ve recently had a microwave go out, so I went to Best Buy and bought a new one. After I removed the old one, it appears there are no studs in the wall, but a crosspiece running horizontally that the microwave mount screwed into. The new oven is 1.5” taller, so the mount is beneath the...

    It arrived today. Had to go “practice” on my dad’s truck. Very impressed! Thanks for the comments, all.

    New Furnace Issue

    I just had to replace the control board in our 2012. Interesting note: Camping World wanted $67.50 to test the old one and $126 with Good Sam, for the board, but the closest one was in Raleigh (1.5 hrs). I called a local shop and they had the board for the same price and tested the old one...

    Tire Inflator

    Ah! I thought I might could get the older model cheaper since it’s on clearance, but the newer one is the same price. No brainer! Thanks so much!

    Thanks, all! I’ve been trying to find one, but it looks like it’s been clearanced. I think I’ve found one still on a Walmart site. Appreciate the responses!

    Tire Inflator

    I’ve seen that one advertised. I guess I just wanted to hear from someone that has one instead of someone trying to sell one. 🤪 Good luck with it?

    Tire Inflator

    Hey, all! I got some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket.... I've been wanting a tire inflator so I can check and fill tires before taking off. Does anybody have any info or insight? I've searched around on the Internet, but still don't have a good grip on what I need. Brands? Models?

    Full Time Winterization

    I am getting supply from a building. I wrapped the hose with foam insulation with heat tape inside. On both ends I wrapped extra heat tape with insulation duct tapped around it all. I didn’t underpin and left all my tanks open all the time. (I spray the black tank daily.) We got down into...

    Mama Wanted a Backsplash

    Just a little update in the kitchen. I used a “Mosaic Peel & Stick” from Lowe’s. The only trim to cover the cuts is around the window, so e cuts had to be pretty spot on. It took me a little time, but mama’s happy! When mama’s happy, we’re all happy! I figure the bathroom is next.... 😒

    Outside Lights

    I’m lost.... All our switches are in the closet. One is for “porch” and one is for the ceiling fan. I’ll keep searching! :) - - - Updated - - - Ha! I just found it on an archived thread. It’s on the remote.... SMH- the last place I would’ve looked. They started putting them there in 2011.

    Outside Lights

    That makes sense. But I can’t find any other switch. The porch light and the under steps all work, but not these.

    Outside Lights

    I can’t get my outside lights on the front top sides to come on. I just changed the bulbs, but nothing. The switches I can find are on. I just checked the fuses. They’re all good. What I did find, though, is a red light beside each fuse. On the fuse for those lights, when I pull the...

    Sofa Vinyl delamination

    Ours (2012) was doing the same. We just replaced with a new love seat and one recliner - all Lazyboy in the Microfiber. It's much more comfortable and and is all wall-away so it doesn't have to sit out as far from the wall. Upgrade! :) It was funny: only one recliner was doing it. The...

    Toilet Bubbling....

    I think it's a little of all of what has been mentioned here. It appears the valve is leaking a bit. I attached a clear connection to the outlet with the valve both valves closed and I'm getting a backup of brown water. I just poured some clean out chemical in it. I'll see if that...

    Toilet Bubbling....

    It appears that it is clogged between the toilet and the tank. No, the tank is offset from the toilet.

    Toilet Bubbling....

    We have been full-timing (stationary) since August. I have been keeping the black tank closed and then emptying once a week. There hasn't been an issue with dumping until the last couple times - when I pull the valve, nothing flows from the black or #2 gray tank. So, I use an adapter to shoot...

    It’s The Little Things
