    The easy way to get 2 Sat lines to the Ent Center

    That could be the problem Dan. I can't remember if the basement outlet is split off to the bedroom or not! If it is, try bypassing the bedroom completely to see if it works. The key is to get away from the booster. It's only been a little over a year since I did the mod, but I'm finding I...

    The easy way to get 2 Sat lines to the Ent Center

    From your question I'm not exactly sure what the problem is but I think it has something to do about what I mentioned before about using diplexers. You have to use a diplexer or the catv booster will interfere with the Sat reception. As far as I can make out, this is probably your problem. As...

    Poor man's level up

    I see a project coming up! A switch would make it more manageable.

    Poor man's level up

    I like mine and it does work but as others have said the batteries, especially in the transmitter, are a real PIA! If we're parked for any length of time I take the batteries out of the TX. I located the TX with heavy duty velcro up on the ceiling of the basement near the UDC so it was easy to...

    Leaking Shower Pan

    If I can do the fix myself I will do it to save on a long host of issues that can happen as a result of a trip to the dealer. I've even sent them pictures of defective parts and had them mail replacements to me. I find it''s just a lot easier to just do it myself! With bigger issues I take it in...

    Upgrading 6000 lbs to 7000 lbs springs

    My dealer parts man gave me a number for a supplier that's local. It's called Cerka Industries located in Milton not too far from where I live and they carry the Standen springs. A 3500 Lbs spring is $44 and UPS shipping for 100 lbs worth is about $45. The have wet bolts and solid 5/8" U bolts...

    Bed cover with 5th wheels - what are you using?

    I found a deal on a BakFlip HD a few weeks ago. It works well but I can't see the hitch when driving and hooking up. My previous setup with a V gate with a low profile toolbox was great but I sometimes need security when hauling weather sensitive items. I've always liked the Fold-a-Cover and am...

    Upgrading 6000 lbs to 7000 lbs springs

    Bob... I'm curious about the EMCO springs. Where did you order them and can they supply U bolts and and wet bolts? The price on their web site is half that of Lipperts! For me doing the change over would not be a problem. Easy job, just time consuming!

    Upgrading 6000 lbs to 7000 lbs springs

    Tnx for the info guys! I did phone Lippert and got a price but they ship UPS which is not good when crossing the border. I have some options and will have to figure out which one to choose to get them here.

    Bedroom Slide Flange Concern

    Since you have a new trailer I would remove the old caulking and replace with a new bead of caulking.

    Upgrading 6000 lbs to 7000 lbs springs

    I really don't like the look of my springs and I wouldn't mind changing them out. BTW I was told by the dealer via Lippert that they're OK??? They look flat to me! Has anyone done this? I just want to change the springs and not the axles. I would imagine the width and length to be the same but...

    A shut off switch for my 12 volt battery

    That's the type of switch I used (rpkeida post) but mounted it on the right support of the hydraulic pump shelf. Used a hole saw and made a positive connection. You can get these switches off eBay cheap.

    Under bed storage...

    Nabo... You can't do what I did with the Rubbermaid's in my earlier post with the pic's? There's room on the left side but not on the right. Maybe the pedestal is smaller under the queen bed?

    Under bed storage...

    No, there's not enough room because of a steel beam, part of the slide mechanism, that's in the way.

    Under bed storage...

    After cutting the plywood I cut off the handles on the 2 Rubbermaid containers and pushed them into the hole. Fit perfectly and the outside edge is supported by the original frame. I didn't have to modify the 2x2 frame at all!

    Step Covers

    That's what I've been doing! Had an outdoor/indoor carpet filled with sand so I cut up some pieces and have used them on every trailer since. This was taken in Aug 2005.

    $9.00 to prevent slide floor de-lamination

    duesouth.... I'm still under warranty so Heartland didn't charge me. I agree that issue is a serious design flaw and should be considered a recall and free of charge. If they do charge, I don't think it's very much, perhaps to cover postage, but it's something that should be done ASAP.

    Prepping for more mods

    John you should consider going to the clinic or the Dr's and get some steroids! Best thing for Poison Ivy! You don't want that stuff spreading anymore! It got so bad with me one time that I was scratching the furniture waiting for the Dr in his examination room. An hour after I filled the...

    Stupid Tank Gauges

    Maybe not because of the support but would it be possible to drill holes where a drill would fit, maybe at the front, and then extend the wires? Jim.... I'm sure the Garnet SeeLevel gauges won't work because the tanks are L shaped on all sides and with the SeeLevels you need a flat surface. I...

    Black tank sprayer plumbing question

    Didn't mix anything up as I was referring to your statement that you had "to replace the water heater check valve". Just offering a thought on how THAT failed! One can't clear any residue water near it, like the city water check valve by manually opening it (pushing the release button), so, by...

    Black tank sprayer plumbing question

    Steve... Yes you are correct there is no check valve in the UDC! I was referring to John's mod by replacing the original blk tank inlet with a city water type connection that has a check valve. I'm wondering if you opened the furthest tap ie kitchen to release any pressure in the lines?

    Black tank sprayer plumbing question

    Ray... yes the water would be blocked but if the plumbing was still high in the walls a solution would to be push the release "button" on the UDC check valve like one would do when winterizing the city water connection. Or possibly blowing the line could work as well.

    Black tank sprayer plumbing question

    I think the main reason why the check valve is so high up the wall, aside from back flow issues, is because of winterizing. The water will drain from the valve back to the tank or from the valve back out the UDC by using gravity. That way the line doesn't need antifreeze. If the valve in my unit...

    Q about wiring Progressive 50 amp EMS

    The D rings are current sensors and are very important! They are colour coded and each go around 2 wires respectively. From the instructions: "Insert the Black wire thru the current sensor with the green tape on it. Insert the Red wire thru the other current sensor." I agree the instructions are...

    3185 closed slides block access to rear lounge

    Lisa.... We have the 3410RE as well and being able to access the entire coach, except the bedroom dresser, is a bonus for us! I too was concerned with the view angle but have found that it's not a problem with the 40" LCD. Actually my favorite chair is the recliner closest to it so the angle is...

    Looking at the F350

    Larry.... I'm not so sure that the only difference between an F250 and an F350 is a leaf in the springs! Maybe there is no difference as I haven't looked at the specs for the '10 models but my '08 F350 weighed 1000 lbs more than my '05 F250! Mind you there was a small body style change and the...

    Looking at the F350

    That's a mix of Freeway, Hwy and around town! I know it sucks but it's a heavy truck, around 8,600 lbs not loaded. I also know I have tons of power and the weight rated capacity to tow the 3410RE UNDER the manufactures weight ratings (I've weighed the rig)! When I bought the truck in '08 Fords...

    Looking at the F350

    Don't know too much about the '11's, especially if they rushed it into production like they did with the 6L, which turned out to be a total nightmare but my sig F350 has been great! It replaced an '05 6L F250 and the power difference is very noticeable plus the reliability is way better! I had...

    Time to visit Yellowstone?

    We stayed at Fishing Bridge a few years ago around this time of year (the end of May). There was still snow in the forest and snow banks from road clearing all around the campground. They got dumped on with a foot a snow the week before we arrived. Beat the crowds though but still ran into a few...

    Emergency Road Service....What If Any Are You Using?

    I have the Good Sam Platinum and have used it many times. The SOB 6L died on me on the Hwy with the previous SOB trailer. The truck needed a flatbed and went to the dealer. The trailer went back to where I was coming from towed by a different truck with a hitch attached to it. Been stuck twice...

    Still Waiting!!!!! Never get to go camping ; (

    That's weird! One would think a bill of sale would be enough! Actually all my dealer did was take off the plate on the old SOB and put them on the new one. Our plates are for life. Hopefully this mix up can be fast tracked and you can get out there camping as soon as possible! I wish you luck!!

    Still Waiting!!!!! Never get to go camping ; (

    Sorry but what's the "Nevis Paper"? Also by "resister the camper" do you mean vehicle registration? Don't understand as here in ON a trailer wouldn't leave the dealers lot until it has been registered and tagged with the Prov gov't. So I don't understand why Nevis Paper and a kids table would...

    Shower door drip rail

    We also use a squeegee at home and in the trailer. Keeps the glass, walls and floor nice and clean! ChopperBill... If we weren't so far away we could trade shower stalls!
