    Southco Keyless Entry system issues

    Re: keyless entry After getting locked out in Oil City,LA on a Saturday and no answer from the dealer or the factory warranty folks for two weeks now, I'm not taking any more chances. Now that I've taken it apart and cleaned the grease from the contacts and put in another battery it works. To...

    Upgraded Brakes Option

    We just picked up our 3585RL last month in Elkhart. The larger brakes was a $750.00 option upgrade, but we went with stock axles and brakes. First stop was Mor Ryde and upgraded to 8k IS and Disc Brakes. Two days and $5700.00 later we were ready to head south. We got a great deal working...

    Shattered dual pane window?

    Re: Shattered dual payne window? We picked up our Bighorn 2012 3585 RL on Jan. 18 in Elkhart, and on Jan. 29 our curb side slider window over the couch shattered with a loud bang and several minutes of splintering. We had been parked for two days. David from CS had to talk to their window...

    Generator questions

    Thanks DougS, I'll check it out. Your system sounds perfect for those lighter needs, and the Hondas will work well morning and everning when we catch the news on TV, brew coffee and run the microwave, or need the A/C. Thanks Again,

    Generator questions

    DougS, what brand and model Inverter are you running, and how many batteries feed it? I like my little Hondas! They sip very little fuel. I'm trying to size the number of batteries and come up with a good match in an inverter/charger that will provide a good boondock rig. Thanks,

    I'll stay with lead weights, I don't want to chance screwing up my TTPMS sensors.

    Lippert/ Mor Ryde IS

    Thanks for the heads-up. I'm pointed south now and I hear southern Texas calling my name. I'll find a shop along my way and have it done. Thanks,

    Lippert/ Mor Ryde IS

    I didn't realize Heartland didn't balance them. I don't know that Mor Ryde balance them either, although they did align them. Sounds like I have another stop to make before I get to Texas.

    Question about the Level Up system

    I'll try unplugging it, then plug it back in to see it will re-boot. More experience on my part won't hurt also. Cookie, not sure of our travel plans. We may be delayed here in MO a bit. We heard a loud band on the side of our new unit, then heard crackling noises. I raised the shade behind...

    Lippert/ Mor Ryde IS

    After two years of research my bride and I ordered a 3585RL and because of the multitude of issues regarding the suspension component failures from the frame to the tires we ordered it through Great Lakes, RV in Elkhart. We ordered it with the Mor Ryde pin box, and Goodyear G-614 tires. We...

    Question about the Level Up system

    I installed the two additional batteries we brought with us to Elkhart and it makes a big difference. The system still will not retract back to unhitched position by pushing both Right and Left buttons together. I've had good success by pushing the Retract button, then hold the Rear button...

    Question about the Level Up system

    I checked early on to make sure it was charging the battery. We didn't opt for for more than one battery and brought two new bigger ones from home. With no power after turning off our Honda, we pulled in the slides then tried retract the levelers. In the cold temps with only one battery I...

    Question about the Level Up system

    We ust picked up our new 3585RL and never tried the level up system until the winds grounded us in Rantoul, IL. Had to put them down to avoid getting seasick in the high winds on Monday. I had the same results when I tried to retract it, then the voltage read 9.3 volts. Since I hadn't hooked...

    Need new TV Advice

    Seriously, I think you are going about it the right way. There are a lot of features that are so similar with the Big 3, it all comes down to your particular likes, dis-likes, taste, color choice and ride. Only you know your particular likes and dislikes, and only you know the intended use...

    Need new TV Advice

    It's been a few years since I've been truck shopping. I checked with Chevy and GMC dealers and they both told me I couldn't get the new 3500's with a Cummins in it! I guess I'll stay with Dodge until GM get it right. Come on Cummins, one more stock split for Daddy!
