I had the same problem on my 2008 GMC. I ultimately replaced the controller and connectors at the dealer for about $250 Your controller is near the dual wheels on the drivers side. It's on the inside of the frame and is about the size of a thick iPad. Some engineer decided that putting...

Add Tom & Bobbi Paschka to the list of attendees for the lumberjack show.

Did you actually have a bubble on your tire? When we got our very first SOB FW, we had Goodyear Marathon tires on the trailer. On our very first trip we had a similar incident in Nevada. We were stopped at a gas station on the expressway,when a guy from the gas station across the street came...

We are in the process of picking up our new SOB from the factory/dealer. We chose the RV refrigerator over the Residential. We never had a problem with our RV refrigerator in our Bighorn unit. Even though we don't dry camp, I was concerned that my batteries would wear down if we had to park...

To answer your question on mileage, you have to tell us what speed you drive at. With my Duramax 3500 and my BH3055, I got: 12-13 mpg at 55 mph 10.5-11.5 at 60 10-11 at 65 9-10.3 at 70 Plan on a 10% decrease in mpg for every 5 mph over 55 mph. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Thanks, WBG, looks that I was wrong about the connector. I'll have to investigate further. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

If you look at the steady fast website and their ordering options, you'll find an option for automatic leveling systems. I believe it doesn't supply the feet, but supplies an attachment adapter to bolt the arm to the foot of the leveling system. This eliminates having to drill through the foot...

It looks you will need some parts and service from Heartland. Be sure to contact Customer Service Monday morning. With your pictures, you might get on-site service. After looking at the previous article on repairing the mechanism, be sure to have shear pins and not hardened bolts on hand for...

I understand the desire for protection for our family and ourselves, but how many people on this forum have fired their weapon while camping at a campground? I am not talking about at work as a LEO or at a gun range. I' m talking sitting around your CG having a beer and a pickup full of bad...

On RV refrigerators, there is usually a small (1/2 inch?) tube that drains moisture from the unit. It is normally attached to the outside through the white refrigerator air vent on the side of the trailer. It normally sticks out of the small square holes. This hose is just cheap white...

Check to see if the DVD is even connected. Your choices are the old red, white and yellow cable, the red, green, blue (and red, white) cable, or HDMI cable. You then have to pick the appropriate cable in the TV Source Menu.

To avoid the accidental connection to the Black Tank Rinse fitting, I used a black marker to paint some of the fitting black. I also wrote the word Black on the rubber cover of the connection.

I fully agree with the above statements. Our lenses disintegrated when touched. Called Starlights and talked to Customer Support. They had me send an email with my shipping address for the replacement Fresnel lenses. No questions, no charges. Lenses came about three days later in a...

This may not apply with the newer design,but in the old days when I had a magnetic holder for my ID badge, you had to make sure that you kept the magnet away from magnetic strips on credit cards. Just a thought. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

The cost for a GMC 3500 dually and a BH 3055 round trip for two seniors is $770. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Sorry, link has been updated. ;)

If you were wondering about being able to use the SS Badger between Ludington, MI and Manitouwac, WI, this should help. http://www.ssbadger.com/images-videos/videos/ Make backing up an RV seem rather simple.

Bobbi and I have sent in our reservation. We will be coming back from Wisconsin on the car ferry in Ludington. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Yes, this is the product. I was surprised that mor/ride made a pickup product, only because iI hadn't heard of it from the mor/ride fans on this forum. My wife and I were considering a motorcoach with air ride suspension because of her multiple back surgeries. This product might help when the...

Have you put the MOR/ride rear leaf spring suspension on your tow vehicle? I saw this at the Good Sam Atlanta rally and was wondering if it would improve the ride on my GMC3500 when empty. What was the total cost? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

The best thing to do is to get your truck weighed. My GMC 2500 came in 600 lbs heavier than the owners manual and dealer documents. This was without extra additions. When the true weight was used, I was at GVWR without adding any passengers. "how do you know a salesman is lying? His lips are...

I made this bumper stick to add some humor to someone's day. Maybe they will stop texting and start laughing.

With a little awe you are awesome, but with a lot you are awful. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

One of the things that you have to be careful about is that the mattress only has a 300 lb. rating. This generally means only one adult.

If you mainly use dump stations, you are probably cutting your black tank rinse short on time. when someone is waiting behind you, its hard to do a thorough rinse. Some members do a rinse for 10-15 minutes. Even when I think my tank is clean, I've had the water stop running out for a couple...

The first year you might want to travel a circuit and see what campgrounds and areas are like. Some parks are geared for golf, some for trekking and bird watching, some for social events, some for sports like Pickle Ball. Try the variety that meets most of your interests. The second year, you...

To test your theory, try stopping at every other rest stop and check the toilet. ;)

If the only way you can get a good flush is to fill your tank 3/4 full, you may not be using enough water when you flush. Try putting more water in the toilet before using or running more water after using. Our problem has been the toilet paper. All women say that men can't understand why...

On a hot sunny day, I looked into the cabinet on top of my refrigerator in my BH3055RL and saw daylight in the back of the cabinet. Also, with 105 degree heat outside, this panel was very warm. On a 3055, the refrigerator is in a cabinet that fits in a corner, with wedge shaped cabinets on...

Jim B your suggestion was right on. I used a small screw driver to pop the switch out. The wires in the back only came out about 1/2 ". I used two forceps to hold the wires while I changed switches. I applied dielectric grease to the contacts and popped the new switch in. Total time was...

The outside switch on my water heater is not functional. The rocker switch does not rock. It is stuck in the on position, but may not be functional. This is a Suburban SW12DE model. What is the easiest (best) way to replace this switch? 1. Remove the whole heater. 2. Access from the back and...

I just finished replacing the crank up antenna mast with the fixed Jack antenna mast. Having completed this, I would not recommend this solution to others for the following reasons: 1. Do you really need to replace your old antenna? The Signal Commander is a powered antenna just like the...

Two other things to think about: Remember that if your spare tire is under the trailer, this could hit on steep inclines and declines. If you have a trailer hitch on the back of your trailer for bicycles, this can hit on steep inclines. I did this pulling into a fuel station that was on a...

Do you close the dump valve after dumping? If you dump your tanks and leave your valve(s) open while you travel, gray water that was left in the tank could splash out and fill the drain pipe. Just because no water comes out at the end of the dumping, doesn't mean that the tanks are completely...

I went to the PPL website and they had the whole jack antenna unit on sale for about $125. This has the built-in signal meter. Since this unit doesn't have to be lowered, it will remove one of those "don't forget to ..." items for breaking camp.

Yup! I confess, I remember reading something about this problem about two years ago (there may have been more recent ones also). I just didn't read it very closely AND I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME! :rolleyes: Now that the confession is out of the way, I would just like to voice my...

We had a problem that the electrical fuse for our bedroom would trip when slider was put out. This is the circuit under the bed and the adjacent wall sockets. Once out, the fuse could be reset and would function until the slider was moved again. Turns out that the 120 electrical wire was...

Go to Valtera's website and see what they recommend. I am quite sure that they tell you not to use WD-40 on them. I spent a lot of time under my rig at last year's Michigan rally and the cables (or possibly broken cables) was one of the things I was researching.

As far is general insurance is concerned, ask the company how much is covered if your RV is totaled. Some companies only give you a pro-rated value for your unit. Even if you kept your unit in perfect shape, you might only get a portion of the replacement value. Check it see if you get full...

Two (2) light tan (a.k.a. cream or light mocha) leather (leatherette) recliners for sale. These are from our 2010 BH with Godiva interior. In very good condition with the exception of marks on the back panel from transport back to back. Two Flair plastic disks for under the chairs are...
