Our current job doesn't have the septic tank installed, yet. So I will have to have the tank(s) pumped out via a honey wagon. The specs say the black tank is 80 gallons. Is that 60 for the main and 20 for the half bath? I need this info before they come out. Thanks, Cindy Jones in the...

Last time I checked, it was discontinued. I will let you know if status changes

We use the garage for an office, extra sleeping and storage. When I found this bunk/loft stair unit with storage I was sold. It is very sturdy (500 lb wt limit) and easy to access the loft bed.

I have purchased a few "Casper" type mattresses. UPS delivery. They are rolled and compressed/shrink wrapped into a shipping box. My only complaint was the odor. It needs to air out for a few days. Just a couple weeks ago, I purchased a mattress for our new Cyclone. The company is...

Has anyone purchased the center griddle for the Furrion gas cooktop? I understand it is sold separately but I have not had any luck locating one. Thanks

Our 2012 Bighorn 3685 has an Amana stove. The flash tubes have rusted and broken off. I ordered a new set of three by entering the Amana model number. Unfortunately, they were not the right part. The original tubes have slots cut into the one end to secure them to the Piezo ignitor. A call...

Our '08 3055 has not had any problems with the slide seals. I inspected them after seeing the bulb slide seals disintegrate on our '12 3685. The '08 model has better quality materials as it has held up better overall, than the newer RV we own.

After multiple leaks in the basement of our 2012 3685, I had all the braided hose replaced- all the visible lines. The clamps were slipping off the hose, etc. We tried tightening them down with no luck. The cause is not pressure related. We are using the holding tank and pump. go figure.

The 2012 3685 we have has the same problem. There doesn't appear to be any sealant on them even though they are glazed- no varnish, poly or whatever. I am very careful about drying the doors that are near water but now the finish has worn off. Our 3055 has the oak cabinets that have held up...

wish we could! It's so close, too, but we have to get home this weekend to check on the homestead. Have fun! cindy

Thanks, Dan. will work on that and let you know.

2012 3685 unit, 42" Sharp TV on cable or satellite has issues with sound. If it's a "regular" station the sound is fine. When I switch to an HD channel, the sound is very low even set at max volume. Is there a solution other than the surround sound? thanks

oh my gosh, Ray. that looks incredibly mouth watering. I'd have to walk an extra few miles after eating there! Thanks for the link.

roger that

We were fortunate to land a job in beautiful Fredericksburg, Tx. The job may take a couple months. We're staying at the Oakwood RV Resort near the airport. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood. Cold refreshments served after six!

Saw this at John Deere and bought a box to try in our cab tractors. Has anyone tried this in the RV? Fresh Cab (www.earth-kind.com) Four pouches per box, lasts about 4 weeks. $13 Smells good as it contains Balsam Fir Oil. The scent is suppose to repel rodents even though it smells good to...

someone on the list suggested 5starhappycamper.com for the tanks. It's suppose to be an all natural product. BUT, it works! We have had 100+ temps for a couple months and never had an odor. The do sell an extreme tank cleaner that removes the crud and our sensors started to work again. Cindy

Went thru every step and it's working! I'm not sure if it was in the ceiling connection as that seemed tight. It's working and that's all that matters! thanks again for the help! cindy

Ok, thanks for the suggestions. Heading back to the job/RV today and will get to work. Appreciate everyone! cindy

thanks, Ray. First, I used the original Antenna Tek booster. After testing it, there is power to the booster but no signal picked up. Then, I attached the Jack booster (that was included) separately and it did not work, either. not sure what I have going on here! going back to the house to...

Ray, yes we have Progressive Industries protectors on our RV's. BUT, this ONE time I did not use it. I "only" needed lights on to clean the RV and when I hooked up with a reducer plug (110?) I heard a pop. When I saw smoke, I knew I was in BIG trouble. Lesson(s) learned.

Setting up at a new job site and wanted to use the antenna for the first night. Unfortunately, the antenna did not work. In the past, we have used it with no problems. The red light is on at the booster. (Jack antenna has a light but shows no power) Can that be correct? An electrician wired...

thanks, Cliff. I have a little time to work on this today. I appreciate your time! cindy

one wire is connected to the converter, but it is not connected to the frame. The other one appears to come from the breaker box and is also coiled up on the floor. What good is a ground wire if it's not grounded to the frame? I believe this is a huge safety issue!

Yes, I agree, I'm not trying to be ugly about this. The RV has not been to the dealer since purchased. Repairs have been made on site as we use it for work. There have been a lot of obvious "problems" that should have been done at the factory. Heartland was contacted with the list of...

(this post concerns electrical ground wires not attached to the frame.) I have come to the conclusion that our 2012 Bighorn 3685 had no quality control inspection at the factory- zero. What's going on at Heartland? Another water line came loose and flooded the basement. This is the second...

Thanks for the info and maps! We'll let you know what we decide.

We're tired of working and decided we need a break. Sooo, we are thinking of going to the coast of Texas. (Yikes! it's summer, it's hot and hurricane season!!) DH wants to kick back in a smaller/quaint park near or on the coast, maybe between Corpus and Port Lavaca. Good restaurants/cold...

DIY floor anyone can do! Ok, ok. "we" ripped up all the flooring on the lower level, including the carpet on slides. "we" had an accidental flood so it all came up and out the door- that's another story. I would say the most time consuming part was removing the carpet staples. No other prep...

Wow, that looks great. I'm happy to hear it is holding up for you. Thanks for the info! Cindy

Great job, Nick?? ha! Nick was building a lake while I was laying the floor. Just the way it is in this family. lol Thanks, Cindy

After much research, I decided to install the Allure resilient vinyl plank flooring in the kitchen and living area. It's much thinner and quieter than laminate. Hope it holds up!

Are you saying they have not redesigned the cabinet over the bath sink? I complained about that 4 years ago and many agreed. How do you wash your face or brush your teeth without banging your head first thing in the morning??

I am also looking for a replacement for our Apollo 24BIB. Midwest sales has them on back order for a month or two. I have been checking with them since April. they do not have new or refurbished units at this time. Does anyone have a recommendation for a built in replacement?

I love our ice maker but as others mentioned, it does not store the ice. We make it with reverse osmosis water and get nice, clear cubes.

no, the surround sound does not work on the tv. I can use a mirror and flashlight to see the connections but I'm not sure where they are going. Should I remove the cover on the DVD player? Also, when the TV is on, you can't listen to the radio (outside) DH likes to listen to music and I want...

Can someone tell me how to get the sound to work when playing a DVD? Video is fine, just no sound on TV or surround. Cindy

thanks for the info. The manuel shows this cable included in the box. Not so, it's RCA audio on both ends. Appreciate everyone's time! Cindy

The left side edge does not have RCA plugs- input 1, input 2 looks similar to USB, headphone and USB port. Taking a closer look, there is nothing marked audio out anywhere on the back. I just don't know enough about electronic stuff. where are my kids when I need them!

I bought a sound bar for our tv. We have a Sharp Aquos 42" that comes out of the bottom cabinet and is very close to the window. The sound bar has audio cables (red and white) no problem connecting the sound bar. I can't find where to connect these to the tv. Using a mirror and flashlight...
