    Winterizing 2011 BH 3610RE

    Thanks Dave - I read the manual and what you're speaking about - it reads that the heat on the water line kicks in at 32 degrees, but that you don't have to actually winterize the freezer until it will hit 0 - not sure why. Whatever, it too late now.... I 'm over in Lewiston for the holidays...

    Winterizing 2011 BH 3610RE

    HI Branson - I store it at the 1000 Trails in South Beach. I winterized it yesterday and it was pretty easy - Thanks To Everyone for their! I didn't do the ice maker as the manual says it is not needed unless the temperature is going to be below 0 F. When I was pulling it into storage I...

    Winterizing 2011 BH 3610RE

    Gaffer, thanks for the advice. I am only leaving for 6 weeks or so and vacillated about winterizing at all, but wasn't sure I wanted to take the chance, as the cost for antifreeze vs pipe repair is quite wide. I spoke with a women that has worked here for years (1000 trails, South Beach)...

    Winterizing 2011 BH 3610RE

    Dave, thank you for taking the time to answer my question - much appreciated! Other than the purchase 4 gallons of pink antifreeze I haven't done anything yet. I'm camping on the Oregon coast and am going to store it over here for a month or two for the holidays - leaving in 4 days. I'm am...

    Winterizing 2011 BH 3610RE

    I have always winterized my own trailers (30 years) - this is my first 5th wheel. I have no manual on the proper winterizing of my 3610, although there is a short direction list on the inside of the door covering the inlets and storage area. Are there additional steps other than...

    Rear Jack Seized In Down Position

    Hi - I have a new 2011 BH 3610RE. Yesterday when preparing to leave a campground we found the rear electric jack frozen. I had previously read the manual so proceeded to attempt to raise it manually with the hand crank - the shear pin snapped off. So I was dead in the water, and couldn't leave...

    Keyless Entry Lock Problems

    Hi - a week or so after our initial camp the lock stopped functioning. After reading enough posts, I decided it was a water problem. I replaced the battery and then sealed around where the plastic plates (which hold the pad, battery, etc.) snap together. It has worked for the past month, with...

    Rear Stabilizer Jacks

    Yesterday morning, on leaving a campground in central coast Oregon, I found the rear electric jacks dead. There was a grinding sound which diminished quickly over a couple seconds until dead. I lubed the spiral shafts well and then manually retracted the stabilizes and extended them several...

    Internet a must

    I use a Repeater"and am very satisfied - $150. It looks like a router which connects to a 12" antenna and then gives you a wireless station. You can check out the information regarding it at...

    Opening the Wireless Keypad for battery change

    Things for that information! The new battery was dead again this morning. My 5th wheel is in storage for a week but then we are heading back over to the coast to pick it up and camp. It rained most of the last week we were camping - we had 3" in two days, so I bet the "water problem" is...

    Opening the Wireless Keypad for battery change

    Thanks all, I just got back from town (Newport, Or) with a new battery and all works well! I had pushed the prongs down without luck, and then checked with a volt meter which barely moved, before heading out. A hint for future generations of battery changers - the battery goes with the...

    Opening the Wireless Keypad for battery change

    Thank you all for your inputs! ChopperBill, you helped me big-time. I had it down to the circuit board and with your instruction I pressed down on the edge of it and it popped off. Now I just need to buy a new battery. Kind of strange that it would be no good after 2 weeks but stranger things...

    Opening the Wireless Keypad for battery change

    Hi folks. I have had my 2010 BH 3610RE on the Oregon Coast for a couple weeks (first time out) and am enjoying it tremendously. Two days ago the wireless keypad EA-R0x stopped functioning. Today I tried removing the cover to change the battery. The instruction paper is a photocopy which has...
