    Customer Service

    We had the shower crack in our 2014. They paid for a local repairman to come out and repair it. There is guys out there that do acrylic repairs to home showers and tubs. I think the bill was $160.

    Customer Service

    I feel the same. The fireplace quit in our unit and we sent an email asking for warranty consideration. The answer was a flat no. I responded with another email and the rep wouldn't even reply. The level of service has definitely changed. The industry is booming right now and I truly think the...

    Campground recommendations along I-77 in NC

    We travel from the Buffalo border to Florida 4 times a year. Our half way point is Fort Chiswell Rv Resort in Max Meadows VA. It is 9 hours from Buffalo. It is right off the I77 and is a transient park designed for people passing through. Most sites are pull through. If you use your GPS to get...

    2017 Ford F350 19.5 inch wheel conversion

    The same tires that you have. Michelin LTX A/T2. Great tire when not towing. When i do tow, we are 25,000 lbs. I think that is the contributing factor.

    2017 Ford F350 19.5 inch wheel conversion

    Same thing happened on My 2014 F450. Our 2016 F450 has 50,000 kilometres (30,000 miles) and the tires are showing very little wear. This truck also does an extreme amount of towing. I wish now that i would have bought another F450 but the way the get registered here classifies them as a heavy...

    2017 Ford F350 19.5 inch wheel conversion

    Hi, I purchased a new F350 Ford in the spring. After 16,000 kilometres (10,000Miles) the tires are over half worn. I purchased a set of 8-10 bolt adapters to allow me to install 19.5 inch tires and Alcoa wheels. Hopefully we get better mileage from these tires.

    New owners of a 2017 BC 4010 RD

    I have not have mine weighed. I know I'm heavy as I have a 5.5 generator and washer and dryer along with two Trojan 1275 batteries. We spent a lot of time in our trailer thus having a large wardrobe and full cupboards.

    Rear roof ladder's?

    Personally, I would forget the ladder. The back wall of your trailer will most likely be framed with wood even though the side walls are aluminum. The ladder is more an looks piece rather than functional. When using the ladder you will be pulling on the stanchions and stepping the wall...

    Frigidaire not working

    We had a 2014 BC 3650RL. Used the trailer the first year with no problems. Travelled all over the country. We winterized the trailer and in the spring when we opened it up the fridge would not work anymore. We had a fridge repair tech come out and with his freon sniffer he found traces around...

    New 2017 Big Country 4010RD. Happy with the RV

    Congratulations on your new 4010RD. We too have a 2016 4010RD and besides our personal modifications, we have only had a couple of minor problems to deal with. The door striker on the bedroom door was also mis aligned and the one lower drawer in the kitchen island was hard to open. Both issues...

    air bags for 2016 F450

    Dave, I have the same truck and have not been able to find an Air Bag Kit. The rear axle in the F450 is much larger than the F350 and 2014 F450. It is a square tube heavy duty truck axle. The air bags would be of great benefit to level the truck when loaded and help with the headlight aim.

    LP generator and 3rd A.C. unit

    Thanks. Seems odd that you feed the transfer switch with the 12 gage and all the rest of the wiring is 6 gage.

    LP generator and 3rd A.C. unit

    I have a 5500 LP unit that I'm installing in my 4010RD Big Country. The Load wires coming out of the generator are only 12 gage. Why are the wires sized so small for a 50 Amp service? The wiring charts show a 6 gage wire size for 50 Amps. Thanks Jeff

    Level-UP

    We had the same issues with ours. Tried the fork oil, it helped but didn't cure it. Talked to Lippert and the rep indicated that they had success with the Catipiller oil. Tried that and it has been fine.

    Can F250 6.7l Diesel tow 16000 GW?

    We purchased the identical unit you are looking at. We tow ours with a F450, works great, stops great. This is a little too much trailer for a single rear wheel pick up of any make.

    Anyone with experience towing mid-profile 5th wheel with Ford 6.2L gasser?

    I had a 2014 f250 with the 6.2. We pulled a 2009 sundance 2900MK. The truck pulled the trailer with ease. Hike didn't bother us to much. The fuel consumption was on the heavy side. We since have upgraded to Diesel as we no have a BC4010.

    Hope its not true!

    I wish there was a cure for the ailment. LOL. There will be a time where we cant do it any more. We are trying to stay current so when we retire in a few years we have a fairly current unit.
