    Level Up Hydraulic Jack Leak

    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...

    I'm in a tight spot....Any Ideas?

    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...

    Putting the Sleep Number to bed for the winter????

    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

    Awning Problem on the Road

    So....we're out on the road for one of our first semi-retired trips and I'm having a problem with my awning. We are at a campground in St. Augustine, FL and I tried to roll out the awning. It went about 2-3 ft and hit a hard stop. I let up on the switch so I didn't pop a breaker, but then...

    B&W Companion Hitch - Gooseneck Style

    We got a new truck and had to find a hitch to match a B&W Turnball Gooseneck. I got some really good input from a previous post and narrowed it down to the Andersen Ultimate and B&W Companion which both had great reviews by their owners. I selected the Companion because I'm not the greatest at...

    New Truck + Gooseneck = New Problem

    So...... We opened up the wallet and purchased a 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500HD Crew Cab Shortbed that was equipped with B&W Turnball underbed hitch. I like the idea of not having rails in the bed, but I also like the performance of our Airbox 5th Wheel hitch (which requires rails), that we used...

    Used Tire Market????

    So.....I bit the bullet and purchased the Goodyear G614's for my 2009 BH 3580RL. I'm replacing the Freestar tires that have around 10,000 miles on them and were manufactured in June 2008. The tires have always worn wheel covers and don't look too bad considering the age. There is plenty of...

    Illinois Tornado Update - God is Good!!!!

    We were truly blessed last Sunday when several tornadoes ripped through the Midwest leaving a trail of destruction. We lost 6 people to the storm and our prayers go out to those families, but the toll could have been much higher given the number and strength of these tornadoes. The hardest hit...

    I thought I read up on the posts and was confident that I had properly installed the Jack Antenna - complete mast type, but I must have a problem since my reception is way off. I may have a problem with the coax, but unfortunately I screwed and caulked it all down to the roof. Here is what...

    Winterizing By-Pass Diagram

    I ran into a problem this year as I prepared to winterize my coach and was unable to draw anti-freeze. Some troubleshooting revealed that the plastic handles on the 3 way valves (both of them), developed cracks at the base and would not turn the valves to the proper position. I discovered this...
