    Slow Draining Grey Tank

    My black tank drains great, my grey tank(s) not so. The shower tank especially (the kitchen tank rarely gets used) is really slow draining. Anyone have this problem or have any idea what might be wrong?

    Air Bag Inflation Question

    Added airbags when we got the new rig. Never had them before. Dealer inflated them to approx 35 lbs and truck and rig sit nice and level. But I feel like I'm driving a boat now. What do you all run in your bags, and do you just inflate them until level or do you fine tune them to your liking? I...

    Not So Minor Water Issue

    So we were out this past weekend dry camping and I get up and use the toilet and brush my teeth and turn on pump and hot water heater and go back to bed while water heats. Get back up and try to figure out what small motor running noise is. Can't figure out and go to take shower. NO water. Not a...

    Landing Gear Question

    I on occasion camp a few places where I'm on an incline and have to lower the landing gear quiet a ways to get level front to back. Does anyone know how long the main tubes come out? With all I've read here about the gear motor and sheer pins and all breaking I don't want to chance that. Anyone...

    Slide Question

    I just was reading another post and it reminded me to ask about this. I've always had electric slides before now, so the hydraulics are new to me. Is there a rule of thumb for how long to hold the button in after the slides extend or retract...especially retract? I don't want to break anything...

    Sofa Bed - Leak in Mattress caused by rough metal frame

    We have had our BC all of 5 weeks. The sleeper sofa came with holes in the mattress caused by sharp edges on the metal frame. Exact same place both sides. I took MANY pictures of it and sent them to my dealer who sent them to Flair. I had reason to call Flair to inquire what the mattress was...

    Thermostat Way Off

    Have the carrier AC with whatever digital thermostat. We at first thought the AC wasn't working because I set it for 76 (like I do at home and our last rig) and it never did anything to cool the rig. After some observations it looks like the thermostat is off by a mile. There is "cold" air...

    Raleigh Greensboro NC Area

    Anyone know of some decent places near here? I have a couple of friends, one lives around Greensboro near the airport I think and one lives South of Raleigh off route 1. Neither of them camp so they're no help, but I'd like to get down there this Summer and visit. We belong to 1000 Trails too...

    A Giant Thank You to ASA!!!

    I'd just like to say thank you in public to the people at ASA for going above and beyond the call of duty. After all my frustration with the poor reception on my radio and many, many posts about all I have tried to fix it, I received an email asking if they could call me and go over what is...

    Fridge in Basement Question

    So, there is so much more room in the basement than I've ever had that one of the first things we did was go to W-mart and buy a little dorm fridge to keep in the basement. :) It's just a 1.7 cubic foot AC power kind with no freon. It does generate a little heat. Can anyone think of any issues...

    Staticy Radio Reception - Intermitent

    Just picked up our 2010 Big Country and a couple of things are very obvious with the radio. When listening to the radio on FM, when you walk up to it to change the station it gets very staticy, like the station is fading out. As soon as you move away from it it goes back to normal. Same thing...

    Optical illusion - or major issue?

    Picked up the new 3250TS and brought it home and while looking out the drivers side rearview mirror down the side of the trailer it looks like the trailer is going down the road crooked. It looks like the rear end is hanging out. This is looking in the regular flat mirror, not the convex mirror...

    Shower water flow pitiful

    New BC 3250TS and the water pressure coming out of the shower is pitiful. I took the showerhead off and checked for junk in it and rinsed it but didn't accomplish anything. I seem to remember a topic here about this and now I can't find it. I did notice there is a white "washer" in the hose end...

    Shower - Serious Water Temp Issue

    Just picked up our BC 3250TS over the weekend and we have a serious problem with the shower. At first I thought it was just a crappy water faucet but after day two I don't know. You turn the water on and set the temp and without touching the handles the water temp changes from cold to hot to...

    Which Pin Box? MorRyde, Fifth Airborne or TrailAir

    Ok, so what's the general consensus on these aftermarket pinboxes? I've never used any of them, but am thinking of adding one to the new rig. Also will be adding air bags to the truck. And currently have a PullRite Superglide hitch that I won't be replacing. MorRyde is supposed to take care of...

    Big County w/ Rear Cap - Where's sewer hose go?

    So, since the rear cap option doesn't have the standard 4" bumper, do they make any provision for sewer hose storage, or are we on our own? Couldn't find this anywhere. Thanks.

    Maxxis Tires being used now?

    I questioned my dealer today about a tire upgrade and was told that HL is now using Maxxis tires on at least the BC's and they have had no problems with them therefore there is no option for an upgrade. Can anyone confirm this??? This could be really good news, it it's true...

    3250TS speced out :)

    So...yesterday we FINALLY chose between the 2950RK and the 3250TS and went with the 3250 although I still like the 2950 better in some ways, but the 3250 is more practical at this time in life. Some I'm going to have some remorse and as I was looking at the two of them side be side yesterday the...

    Sundance Owners - Storage Question

    We're looking at a 3300RLB as well as some BC's. I have a mid profile currently and it has roughly the same front basement size as the Sundance, but my front compartment is twice as large plus I have a HUGE rear storage compartment where I keep coolers, extra water, grill, and other misc heavy...

    Two questions 3250 and 3490

    We looked at a 3250TS yesterday. The unit we saw had a nice size countertop to the right of the stovetop that isn't shown in the brochure. I'd like to know which is accurate and if we were looking at an older model? I would not want to order one and find out they took away the countertop. There...

    Weights don't add up

    Anyone have experience with these folks? Don't see much mention when searching online. They seem like nice folks up front. Wondering if anyone has dealt with them.

    2950RK Question

    Hey all, looking at the BC models 2950RK and 3250TS (don't want to buy another new truck right now). I saw the thread on the 3250 about access with the slides in...what about access to the kitchen and fridge with the slides in on the 2950. Not a chance, huh? Looks like if you climbed over the...
