    2023 Milestone 386BH Dead Plugs

    Hello everyone. My family took delivery of our new 2023 Milestone 386BH two weeks ago. During our first "trial run" trip, we discovered the Sol solar system, inverter, and 12 volt converter were inoperable so we lost all 12 volt power about 13 hours in. So much for that dealer PDI! I was able...

    BC 3900 FLP - Bed Lift Linear Actuators

    We decided to turn part of our under bed storage into a cat box to free up space from our closet. As a result, we'd need to get under the bed often to freshen up the box and with a couple of memory foam toppers, bedding and pillows it was getting heavy. Enter linear actuators, a car entry remote...

    Suburban water heater

    I have a North Country 29RKS. It has a Suburban SW6DE gas/electric water heater. The gas works fine but the electric side quit. I changed the anode rod -- it was shot. The fuse is good, as the water pump is on the same one and that works. I disconnected one side of the element, and got a good...

    how to adjust the electric slide to seal when closed?

    I have a 2008 Cyclone 3010 Travel Trailer with one slide. When closed, the roof contacts first which I believe to be normal. The slide seals along the top while closing very well. Then the bottom pulls in several inches after the top makes contact. However, the front of the slide on the...

    I was looking into buying an electric tongue jack for my 310QB. It weighs about 5400 lbs. What is the best lifting weight to get. I have seen several ranging from 3000 to 4000 lbs. Would the 3000 lbs. be enough?:D

    Electric water shut off valves??? What gives.

    I believe it might have been brought up before, but I'll bring it up again. As mentioned in another thread, it is a good idea to shut off the water supply when leaving the trailer, but wouldn't it be nice to have a simple switch by the door to do this. I found the WaterCop that would do exactly...

    Electric Heater

    Since our 2900MK doesn't have a fireplace (who would have thunk they are so loved) we went to Wally-World and popped the big bucks for the LASKO ceramic tower heater (with remote?). $45. It sits at the end of the island?, I installed a plug there for the counter extension. It sure is quieter...

    Electric Awning won't retract

    OK, now what? When we arrived last Monday, the awning extended no problem. Tonight, a storm blows in and I can't get the stupid thing to retract. I hear something like a "clunk" when I hit the retract button, but no joy on getting any movement. I'm 200 miles from the dealer, sitting on a...

    How to "de-flap" an electric awning.

    Anyone have a clever idea to keep the fabric of the electric awnings from flapping. I have the awning frame stabilized with stakes and rope, but want to keep the wind from damaging the fabric. My best idea so far is to buy a couple of the awning rafters and install them at the edge of the fabric...

    refrigerator - gas or electric, which is more efficient

    We are having an issue with our refrigerator. I was running it on 110 volt, but it would not stay cold. I switched it over to run on L.P. and now it is staying cold. It is very hot outside during the daytime, 104 degree high temps. Is it common for the fridge to work better on gas than electric...

    Electric Jacks

    I'm a new BH owner and I have a question. My BH 3385 has electric rear jacks which I really like but my question is: If I put leveling boards under the wheels on one side do I need to put the same size board under the jack on that side, or will the jacks compensate for one side being higher...

    Electric Awning

    My husband and I picked up our new Bighorn, 3670 a few days ago. It came with an electric awning, my question is... what happens when you get a lot of rain. With our old 5th wheel, we could lower one side of the awning to allow rain to runoff, doesn't seem possible with the electric awning.

    Electric Awning

    Our new 3600RE will have an electric awning. We spend the winters in the RGV where most of the time it is very windy.

    Electric Awning Straps???

    A quick question regarding electric awnings: On my new Bighorn I have a electric awning and on my old 5er I had a manual style. The thing I liked about the manual style is when it was all lock in place it seemed to be more sturdy then the electric, I also had a center support on the...
