If you have a shop vac and a couple of lengths of vac hose try taping it together and fishing it down the heat duct, hopefully you can suck a carcass out if it's there. We had a dead one on the top of a kitchen cabinet that had us going nuts, my wife finally found it. I also set a sticky trap (...

Still battling mice, gave up on sticky traps, the cold -30 freezes the sticky stuff. Back to the snap traps and the first night caught two, so I set at two new new ones but put minimal peanut butter on the trap lip, the little critters licked the peanut butter off. My wife read me the riot...

Goodyear Endurance is a new product in the trailer tire market, please keep us posted on the performance of the tires should you get them installed on your trailer. Supposedly they were developed to provide a replacement to previous Goodyear trailer tire products.

I had to remove the backflow valve from the faucet, it was located at the end of the hose that the spray head was attached to. Once removed it was like a brand new faucet before it trickled. I was going to replace the faucet but this was an easier alternative.

I found two THREE problems in our Bighorn fifth wheel, 1. We have three steps to our upper bath/bedroom level, in the three steps, there is a drawer for central vac hose etc. When I took down the storage compartment wall I exposed the three steps and realized they were wide open to the lower...

Eureka Central Vacuum - Modified - Working Great Well, my modification on the Eureka Central Vacuum is completed and we couldn't be any happier with the outcome. I recommend this mod to anyone who is having trouble with the computer board or relay inside of the vac. Pic 1 - shows the...

I saw an article on installing a new AC on a trailer, they left it in the packing shipping box and slid it up a ladder that they had leaned against the side of the trailer, just cushion under the ladder so it doesn't damage the trailer, I'm sure it took more then one person and they had tied a...

Re: UPDATE - On/Off/On/Off - Eureka Central Vacuum Got the Yellow Jacket back from the repair shop and when you plug it in it runs and sucks, cost $20 and it was well worth it. I'm going to post pics and spell out the wiring so that anyone who is interested and fix their vac. My task will be...

Removed the Eureka central vac from our Bighorn and took it apart thinking I would bypass the 12 volt portion and direct wire it to the existing cord, then install a switched outlet to control it from inside the trailer, but I really gave up trying to figure out what wires would go to what after...

3M Automotive tape is holding well, I've opened and closed the slide three times now.

Fixed! I went to the local NAPA store and bought the 3M double sided tape that was recommended. It was with other car body repair supplies, about $8 and they had two widths, I chose the narrow but the wider might do depending on the amount of flat area your working with. Cleaned the rubber...

There are used Hensley Arrow's out there and ProPrides also, Hensley does sell used hitches that they have refurbished. I sold mine back to them and applied the credit to my new Trailer Saver.

My first trailer was a 26 FT Sunnybrook TT that I pulled with a 2000 Toyota Tundra short bed xtra-cab, we pulled it to and from Florida for 9 years and I never knew it was behind us because of our Hensley hitch, I had read about it before I bought our trailer and I was nervous about trailer sway...

OK - 180 - on the sealant, someone on this forum or another mentioned using double sided 3M Automotive tape, so tomorrow morning I'm off to the parts store to get some and my new bottle of Gorilla Glue can sit on the shelve for another project. I have a better feeling using the tape since I...
