I've had good service with Cooper Roadmaster tires on my Newport, it's around 19,500#. They are truck tires, if I'm not mistaken. My rims are 17.5" but I'm sure they have 16" too. Also fairly reasonable. I got them through co-op in Nebraska in 2021 after my two of my Sailun tires blew. Sent...

Whatever you do, skip Progressive. They left me as they said, "You're on your own" at 10:00 pm on a Friday, after calling them for help with a flat on my FW at 3:00. They couldn't find a service to do it for their price and kept upgrading service reps and pay until they ran out of options...

What model and floorplan is your RV? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

It's been a while since I fixed mine, and it was out since the whole reel assembly was replaced under warranty, and they let me have the old reel. There is a cover plate on the left side, and you may be able to replace the gears without removing the entire reel. Is anyone out there who has fixed...

Not sure on a BigHorn but no way without removing it on our Newport. Maybe replace the gears if you remove the end closure that keeps road grime out. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

There is no set order, from what I understand. Just how the electrician wires them that day. The breaker resets on it's own so testing will be difficult. The good news is that not all of the stack breakers are 50 amp. Have someone run the slide until it stops while you monitor a breaker with the...

There is a fuse (electronic and maybe called a Fusetron) in the battery compartment. They get weak and have to be replaced. We had the same problem with our 2017 Newport. Actually, it's in the middle of a bunch of them on a buss. You should be able to change it out. Be sure to disconnect the...

When our two Sailuns blew on the same day (one on each side), the CO-OP tire manager said they wouldn't (or couldn't) sell a tire that was 5 years old or older. Mine were almost 6 years old, but the RV was barely 5. He said that there are shops that get tires that are already 1-3 years old all...

I've been there twice on the same day. Friday the 13th, 2021. Progressive left us on the side of the road. Our tires were 5 years old, with only a few thousand miles. I think it was the hot weather and 40 mph side winds in Wyoming. It tore out both slide out electrical and TV wires plus the...

We figured it out. When the bulb blew out, the circuit reset on the dimmest setting. All I had to do was turn it up. Feel a little embarrassed but I've never worked on the lights with the central controllers before. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

It's a two wire 12 volt light. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Our 2017 Newport shower light burned out a while back. It went from bright to barely on. I ordered replacement bulbs according to the specification in the light. After replacing the bulb and reassembling the light, it was still dim. Nor as dim as the one that blew, but nowhere near the bright...

My mistake. You said no hot water. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Are you saying no hot water or no water at all? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Our Newport has two heat pumps and one AC. We put soft start kits on each one and never have an issue. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
