    2015 Big Horn 3750FL

    Back in 2013 or 14 I took my 5th wheel to a consignment shop to be sold and they discovered there was a soft place in the rear end of the living room slide floor and quoted me several thousand $'s to fix it. I went and picked the trailer up and had my mobile repair guy repair it. He didn't...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    I was in Aransas Pass for 3 months this past winter and personally, I would not take my Landmark which is about the same size as a Cyclone on one of those Ferrys. I have a friend who tried to take his Landmark across and the tide was out and they wouldn't let him and he had to go around the...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: AL, South Foley - 4/23/2021 to 4/25/2021

    A guy working on my slide toppers a couple of days ago discovered about an 8" crack in the gel coat running up from the corner of the kitchen slide opening. I guess it would be smarter to tow it to a fiberglass repair place around here than on a 1,400 mile round trip. I am sorry, but I...

    Had an accident with my new camper yesterday, I removed the door when i put the slide out.

    Welcome to the club. On the shake down trip with my new Gateway 3300ML rear kitchen, the first time I opened the living room slide that had one of the kitchen lower cabinets in it, I heard that dreaded crunching noise and discovered the lower cabinet drawer had come open in travel. It was...

    Dometic Thermostat

    Dan, I don't know if I have the Whisper Quiet AC or not. My Grand Canyon is a 2015 and was built in early April of 2014, so I guess the AC's are whatever they put on the roof at that time. As for the fuses, I checked them and I couldn't see anything wrong. I will get the RV repair guy to...

    Dometic Thermostat

    Jim, I guess I didn't make myself clear. From about 7:30 AM Monday till about noon today we were without electricity and running the heater kept me warm until about dark when the batteries drained out. A friend loaned me a generator and I hooked a small electric heater to it and made it...

    Dometic Thermostat

    Dan, this thermostat is handling both the AC and Heat, and I think the problem right now might be with the "heat mode", but I guess the problem could be with either unit. Should I suggest he check the heater first and if it is OK then the AC on the roof. And if that doesn't work, I guess I can...

    Dometic Thermostat

    I am down by Corpus Christi, and last night almost froze to death, no electricity and dead batteries and then about noon today power is turned back on and the heater started right up. Only problem is the thermostat is set at 75 degrees, it won't change up or down nor can you cut it off. But it...

    Sailun Truck Tires????

    Probably going to be new tire time for my truck in the next few months or so. I know a good many folks including myself are using Sailuns on their trailers, but can't think of anyone who is using them on their trucks. I am very pleased with the Sailuns on my trailer and was wondering how they...
