We are so very sorry to hear of Bernie’s passing. Whether it was a rally in Goshen, a MacGyver fix on our coach in Moab or some barn dancing with Lederhosen at the Octoberfest in The Amana Colonies, it was always a blast to hang out with Bernie. Our deepest condolences to Judy and family. We...

I go with the Harbor Freight style electric hoist and usually try to make a sling with some latch straps. The problem is that I forget how to sling it most of the time. I just found this device which uses the locking latch on the 5th wheel to simulate a pin. This will allow me to lift...

So....I got the rebuilt hydraulic jack back within a few days. Miller Hydraulics in Manteno, IL rebuilt the jack for $345 as compared to $459 for a new Jack from Lippert. I re-installed the jack and cycled it a few times to work out any air in the lines. The jack worked as designed and I have...

Update....I cleaned up the jack, connections and hoses. I checked all of the bolts/fittings which were tight and had no movement. I then cycled the jack 4 times and was able to detect a small leak on the top side of the jack where the cap and piston are joined. Given the history of losing...

Good Evening, I have a leaking hydraulic jack on my Level-up system. This system was one of the original add-ons and it was purchased about 8 years ago during a Goshen rally. I began having a problem where I was losing my level after the coach sat for a few weeks, but I never detected a leak...

As long as we're on the subject of King sized beds, I have a mod that I would like to add to our 2009 BigHorn 3580. I previously installed a King size Sleep Number bed but it is not the RV model which means I too am 4-6" short on the width. I'd like to replace the bed platform (the part that...

I like the helicopter idea.....I have a drone but I think it might be short on the lifting power. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_m9nTcCYGaDYVlRTTZ2Vzk3YWs

Thanks for all the great advice and keep it coming please. We picked the site because of its’ location and it has a nice cement pad (stone under the coach). Here is what I know to date: -The Park is Mesa Regal -World RV (next to the Park) used to provide fork lift parking and they did a...

So....I'm getting ready in a few weeks to set up at a resort in Mesa, AZ for most of Feb/Mar and I have a parking problem. The resort is booked and my spot is extremely tight since it has a tree and light post that I have to get in between while backing in. In the past, an RV dealership next...

This is our first winter with a Sleep Number Bed in the coach. I wasn’t thinking about filling it with the “Pink Stuff” but was wondering if anyone changed air pressure or took the pump home for the winter. Thanks for the advice, Chuck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We recently put a King size Sleep Number in our Big Horn. It was one of the lower end home models. No problem running the pump and hoses. The King is tight near the head of the bed and I might consider trimming or removing the bedside cabinet since I don’t really use it. I’m also thinking...

Sorry to say we are sending our regrets and will be unable to attend this great event. Reggie's Mom got pretty sick and was just released after a 2 week hospital stay....doing better but she'll have need some additional care starting next week. Have fun and we hope to get back next year. Safe...

Have camper, Will Oktoberfest. This is a great time and we just made our reservations at the campground. Looking forward to seeing friends, beer and Bernie's Lederhosen. Safe Travels, Chuck and Reggie

Many thanks to Jim, Julie and Team HOC for another awesome rally. We had a great time meeting new friends and catching up with our pals. I shot a birds eve view of the park during the rally and have posted it on Vimeo with a password. I will make it a public video next week unless there are...

Dan & Karen, We we just signed up for the rally last week but please add us to the Meet n Greet list. Looking forward to meeting everyone from the Midwest. Thanks, Chuck and Reggie Dvorak

YOLO!!! (You Only Live Once)...we thought we'd sit this rally out but just couldn't. Unlike the stock market, prior rally performance IS an indicator of future returns. Looking forward to good times, seeing old friends and making new ones. Safe Travels, Chuck and Reggie Dvorak

I was going to order the 4 step aluminum stair that is listed on the Lippert flyer but when I called to order the customer support tech advised that the stairs are 28" wide. I measured my existing 4 step steel stair and the box is 27" wide so I held off on placing the order. I have a 2009 BH...

So.....2 nights on the road and a tough time backing into a storage spot but the SnapPad did not encounter any clearance problems with the tire. This was the first time moving the coach since I installed the pads and I think they worked out fine. I didn't have to use any blocking and the...

We hit the road tomorrow morning and I'll keep an eye on it. The steps are to the right of the jack and there is barely enough room for the hydraulic hoses so I don't think I could move it forward. I'll have the Wife keep an eye on it if I have to back into any tight spots. thanks for the...

Thanks guys....just a couple of inches of clearance. I'll try to repost the pictures but they were coming out sideways and I must have done something wrong after previewing. If I move the jack and get an "Out of Stroke" message I can always add blocks. I'd rather have that problem than a...

I installed the SnapPads on my 2009 BH 3580RL a few weeks ago and am pleased with the results. I haven't transported the coach yet, but I'm concerned about the middle jack pad on the Door Side. I have one of the early Level-Up installations and the jack is mounted on the left side of the stairs...

Re: Fuse Panel Problem - Slide and Interior Light Circuits More info Also....I crawled under the slides and it did not appear that there were any pinched wires. I opened the boxes and all connections were capped tight. I added some electrical tape just because it seemed like the right thing...

Re: Fuse Panel Problem - Slide and Interior Light Circuits **** More Info I'm taking a break from the vacation and went back to this wiring problem. Here is what I discovered: The 12v fuse panel shows slot 2 connected to the Ceiling Lights with a 15 amp fuse. Slots 3 & 4 are connected to the...

Guys - Thanks for the quick reply. I'll follow the advice and advise if ya's solved my problem. Chuck

We have a 2009 BH 3580RL. I'm on the road and ran into a problem with the kitchen/living room slide circuit. We were running the kitchen/living room slide in and popped a fuse (automobile blade fuse not circuit breaker). The kitchen slide was completely closed but the living room slide was...

Great! It's an older Campground and I believe that they actually sell sites but some folks rent out to daily campers through the front office. You pay extra for the oceanfront, but we had a raised/covered deck so you had a view over the dune. Some nice pools too. Sent from my iPhone using...

We enjoyed Bryn Mawr Ocean Resort in St Augustine Beach. We had to use a private gate to cross the dune but then you were in the ocean. We ride our bikes on the beach and took in the local sites. Great time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Discount Tire has been very good to us over the years. They have locations or affiliates throughout the US and will do free rotations and balancing every 6000 miles. I purchased a TPMS system while attending the Nashville rally a few years ago and the local Discount Tire shop installed new...

We have a 2009 BH 3580 and experienced the same problem. You will most likely risk damage to the slides and couch if you try to force the fit. We went with the sliders and it has worked well. Awhile back, you could order a single huge slider that fit under the recliner base. I think we got...

welcome and congrats on the new coach. I had the same problem with my first 5th Wheel but the dealer delivered it as part of the deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We're all paid up and hoping for some good luck. Thanks for the offer....participating in this deal was done in a....(wait for it)......SNAP.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I have a 2009 BigHorn 3580RL and Geodude sent you to the right area. Mine is located in the center between the axles. The drain valve is fed by a blue length of PEX tubing and my valve is pretty tight since I don't use the fresh tank on a steady basis. I use one hand to support the valve/PEX...

Big thanks to Terry, Jackie and all the crew that worked so hard to pull this rally together. We really appreciated the hard work and enjoyed every minute at the rally. Apologies to the missed good byes on the way out but we had to hustle back home. Safe travels and we hope to see many in Las...

Count us in....we jumped on the recent vacancy and are looking forward to a great time. Cya's Soon, Chuck and Reggie Dvorak

I need to purchase a tire guage for the truck/5th Wheel that will support 110lbs. Any favorites out there? I tried the battery operated type a few years back and it didn't last too long. Thanks in advance. Chuck D
