Camping World sells a motion detector light (comes in a package of 2) designed to be mounted above the door lock on the outside. I used one on the door and the second one mounted on the wall at the steps. It does a great job detecting your presence, turns on the light and it goes back off after...

The "quick fix" did not work any more than about 24 hours - so same problem is back. I am off to the Chev service dept. in the AM. I will report back to the forum. $400 later and new actuator for the door about in the middle, under dash. At least the dash didn't have to come out. I'm sure I...

Thanks for your response. I also checked another forum and found this fix. First, start engine. Turn drivers side temp to 60, passenger side to 90. Turn engine off. Then start engine again, turn drivers side to 90 and passenger side to 60. Tun engine off. Restart engine and set both temps to 70...

I have a 2005 Chev 2500HD 4WD Diesel, LT with automatic dual controlled HVAC system. I have always had both sides set at 69 degrees and haven't changed it for probably 3 years - and it always worked fine in summer and winter. Now, it blows hot air on the drivers side while blowing cold air on...

THANKS !!!! It worked just fine and I see how the clips work on the screens. Now to clean all the windows ! Funny, how a bit of knowledge makes the job so much easier.

Due to the problems the forum members have posted, I thought it was time to check mine out. Sure enough, The main (top) spring leaf of the left rear has a definite bend down. I contacted Lippert and Von asked me to send pictures and he would get back to me. He also said since I took delivery...

I cannot reach behind the screens to wash the entire inside of the windows and haven't figured out how to do it. I am afraid to try to take the screens out as I may bend the frame. What's the "trick" - what am I missing here ??:confused:

A very Merry and blessed Christmas to all - as well as a Happy New Year filled with prosperity and safe travels. We are enjoying our Bighorn here in Florida, celebrating the birth of Christ with our fellow RV'ers in a most beautiful park lined with 2009 (yes, 2009) glorious luminaries - most...

I have had 2 Heartland 5ers over the past few years and have truly enjoyed our experience of traveling in a quality product. My hat is off to the company for their product and customer support when its needed. Above all, I want to thank each and every poster / responder as I have found...

That's the reason Stella is Navigator and Director of operations !

Thanks to all of you for your help - just like the folks on this Forum !! I am going to replace the battery tomorrow AND the breaker. That should hold me for awhile :) Gary

Thanks Terry. I check into that. Are the larger breakers available from most RV dealers with a good parts inventory ?

When I run the slides in, the bedroom slide comes in fine, but the living room slides stop. I wait for just a second or two, try again and they come in some more, but stop again. I keep working the slide toggle switch and finally they come all the way in. Does anyone have any suggestions as what...

Fyermn, There are many good posts relating to tires. Do a search. Most go to either Michelin or Goodyears. Myself, I switched to Goodyears and enjoy the peace of mind ! See my tire size noted below. Good luck and enjoy your rig !

Thanks for the reply, Ray. That helps. I'm a bit confused on the string route. If I follow strings 1 and 2, they both come out on the same side :confused:. Is there a "special" tool /needle required to thread the string through the holes? Thanks, Gary

Rog, It's been awhile. I have a shade that just broke it's line. Can you give me any tips as far as getting the square headed screw driver onto the screws to get the valances off the wall so I can get to the shade itself. I think, at this point, I will re-thread new line and put the shade back...

Try a search for your tires. There are many posts regarding tires that are very informative. For my money, top-of-the-line Goodyears or Michelins !

I had the same problem and found a wire connection was not soldered to the connector. It was not difficult to re-solder the connection. Unplug the unit, slide it out from the cabinet, remove the top (be sure to log the serial #, etc) and check the connections. Mine looked OK, but a gentle tug...

I pulled Mt. Rushmore with my 2005 Chev for a year, then downsized to the 3370RL due to many reasons stated by others as far as insurance and being a bit over weight in most categories. I am right where I want to be with my current configuration (see signature lines below), live in the...

On my first trip with my new BH, I was "mis-guided" into a site, made contact with a golf cart (the rangers) that made a hole down to the exposed fiberglass on the rear cap. I put some bondo on it, sanded it down, painted with a spray can and nobody would ever know. That was over a year ago and...

I have had the bags for over a year and have loved them. I put the air valves inside the fuel door. When not towing, drop the pressure to about 10lbs and have no problems - however, after reading the posts on the timbren, think I will look into that. Ilike the sounds of the no-fuss with air !

Jim, I did have this problem with several aluminum rims. Tredit Tire at Elkhart were very helpful and replaced them. Try Kelly at 574-293-0581. Good luck, Gary

SLJKansas - You'll have to educate me. Just what is a turbo back and how does it work ? Gary

...As others have said, probably the vent hose. Mine was laying down beside and lower than the fill pipe. I pulled it up higher, cut off about 10", used plastic ties to hold it in place and re-attached it to the vent fitting. It works fine and can now fill with running the water in at quite a...

Sheri and Bob, The model # on mine is "conveniently" centered on the back of the TV - which is covered by the plate that holds the TV. After much searching, I finally found the manual info. - which is pretty generic for all the models. The Olevia seems to be not as user friendly as others...

Roger, I installed myself -easy to do. I just returned from my first trip using it and was very impressed. Went from 11.1 mpg (on my last Florida trip) to 13.2. I was most impressed with going up the various hills (mountains) from North Carolina to Michigan via Tenn., Ky., Ohio. On grades (with...

Thanks for the replys. I think Uncle Rog has nailed it, since I didn't have the problem before installing the Edge Juice. Maybe that's the price I have to pay for enjoying the incredible extra power in tow mode with the Juice w/ Attitude. I'll call Edge Products to see if some settings should be...

I seem to get a good bit of diesel exhaust soot on the front of the 5er and also some down the side. I do get some dark exhaust coming out the pipe when getting on it going up some grades - but not any that I notice when not under heavy acceleration. Anyone else having this problem (solutions...

Pete, Glad you were able to solve the faucet flow problem. Regarding your weak A/C flow, do a search for the "tents" that others have devised to help the flow from the plenum into the duct work. Everyone is getting excellent results following that method.

I also use the Verizon air-card with my Toshiba laptop. Works great. I signed a 2 year agreement, canceled my home high speed connection through my cable company I lost some speed in doing so, but I simply use the air-card at home as well as on-the-road and find the connectivity, speed and...

I just checked our model / serial # by entering it in the Dometic site and it came back that ours is also on the recall list - even though the sticker on the fridge shows a build date of 2007. --guess the're doing them all ! I'll see if I can locate a mobile service -I'm hopeful I can be lucky...

I e-mailed Chevrolet and received a personal call back the same day. They stated that Chevrolet does not recommend using additives. With that said, Chevrolet also has a memo that was sent in 2003 that states they do not recommend additives, but if you use one, Stanadyne and Racor were mentioned...

Forrest and Mrcomer Thanks to you both for you ideas. That should work !! Gary

I would like to take out the small 12v rocker wall switches and replace them with the full size ivory wall mount switches - as I think are used in the Landmark (I have 1 in my Bighorn in the living area). I cannot locate them on the net. Does anyone know where I can buy them ? Thanks !

Our 2005 Duramax is nothing but a joy ! We live in the mountains, so we are used to the hills pulling our Big Horn that weighs 14,000 lbs. The 2500HD, 4X4, SRW with the diesel and Allison is an awesome combination. Mileage is 12.3 from North Carolina to Florida and 20.0 unloaded, highway at...

Sandy. I couldn't access your link. Gary

We have been on two lengthy trips with our 3370 and truly enjoy the layout and amenities. The large closet is a big plus and we too like the separate bathroom. Our "laundry basket" in the hallway has turned out to be my liquor cabinet - works great for that ! Our only complaint is the small...

Catsok, I have a 2005 Chev Duramax towing a 3370RL. I think it is a perfect match without getting into dualies. I am very pleased with the weight. See my config. below. Gary

TD - Won't be in Vegas, but thought it would bring a smile to your face to know that I love that little bug. The first time I saw it, I was trying to figure out how to smush it on the laptop without making a mess, then decided it was "inside" the screen and was worried it would die in a very bad...

Obscure person, We use "Next Exit" and I actually sit down and plan the fuel stops, etc BEFORE we leave home. What I like about that format is it tells us which places are RV friendly and provide easy entry / exit of the facility. I can handle going to another state to follow my route and plan...
