If you're 62+ and don't have a National Park Senior Pass, you might want to get one before the price increases from $10 to $80. The following link to a news flash from Escapees gives details. http://us9.campaign-archive1.com/?u=d8bc0f46a19a696e5c335f4d2&id=b205ed6300&e=d84cc1f527 Sent from...

Anyone know if a Dometic 320 toilet will fit in the Key Largo bathroom, replacing the original Thetford? I know the 320 requires 11" clearance on the rear and sides from the drain center, but the angle wall to the left rear of the toilet is a ringer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Preparing for our longest stay in one place so far....3 weeks....at Moon Valley campground (.8 mile south of Fun Valley) 6 miles south of South Fork, CO. Lots of exploring to do in the area. Views from our campsite: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stopped by Heartland Dealer/Customer Support for some parts since we're in the area. Looks like the Retail Service Center is keeping busy. Two or three BH's, a Landmark 365 and a Sundance, among others, we're getting some attention. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bought a small shelf kit at Menards and after a couple minor modifications, it fit perfectly in the cabinet above the TV in our Key Largo. Wanted to organize the DVD player and Dish Hopper to improve equipment ventilation and to generally reduce clutter, making it easier to access owner manuals...

There's a Bighorn with a black TV and a Ohio Chapter HOC vinyl decal on the door side slide parked in C area of the resort. Our site is just on the opposite side of the comfort station. We're in the Landmark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We'll be in the IN/OH/MI area this summer and planning a trip to Elkhart to look for replacement LR furniture. What are some good, reasonably priced campgrounds in the area (other than the Elkhart County Fairgrounds)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For the past 2 months we haven't been able to get hot water using only the 120V mode. It functions fine in the 12V propane mode. When we had an impromptu "Water Heater Maintenance Day" after the North Texas Chapter Rally, I got motivated to delve into my problem. Step 1 was to turn off all...

It's time to change the interior light bulb in our Norcold fridge. The OEM bulb is a GE 214-2 that the manual says is available at automotive supply stores. Anyone replace this bulb with an LED bulb and if so, which LED? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yesterday afternoon, on our way from Fredericksburg, TX to a campground south of Fort Worth, the DW commented she was hungry for ice cream if I could find a place. Knowing there was a local burger and ice cream place in the town we were approaching, I prepared to look for a place to pull over...

I have a 2013 Key Largo prewired for the Winegard Travlr. The coaxial schematic on the HOM forum site indicates the coiled coax and control cable are located centered 22" from the front vent. My question is, how can I access the coils from inside the coach. I assume I need to drill a hole in...

A man in Alberta wakes up one morning to find a bear on his roof. So he looks in the yellow pages and sure enough..there's an ad for "Alberta Bear Removers." He calls the number and the man says he'll be over in 30 minutes. The bear remover arrives and gets out of his van. He's got a ladder, a...

Does anyone have or have experience with National Interstate Insurance for full timers? I've had AAA insurance for 30 years, but they won't write F/T coverage. One of Escapees preferred vendors (independent agent) says National Interstate coverage tends to be less expensive than Progressive and...

Spotted a pretty new Bighorn headed north on US 69 south of Muskogee, OK Sunday Jan. 17 in the early afternoon. I think it had an HOC plaque mounted up high on the rear ladder, but wasn't sure since I was southbound. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The DW wants to remove the original tile backsplash (shown below) and replace it with Smart Tile. I'm afraid I might damage the wallboard behind backsplash during removal. Has anyone tried this mod, and if so, what challenges did you encounter or suggestions do you have? Sent from my iPhone...

I retire at the end of the month. We have a contract to sell our house 2 months before we'd planned to list it and are 2 1/2 months away from being full-timers! Lots of downsizing and arrangements to be done in the meantime! Help! What have we done! [emoji39] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While shopping for a replacement TV at Sam's Club, I spotted these plug in's that don't require any wiring....just plug in and you're ready to charge your smartphone or tablet! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been wanting to do this mod for months and finally found the time to install sliding doors for access to the plumbing, etc. behind the basement wall. I used aluminum channel strips made for 1/2" plywood for the upper and lower tracks, a 1x1 aluminum angle as a stiffener for the upper panel...

Had the transmission control module replaced last week on my 2011 Silverado 3500HD 6.6L Duramax/Allison. At first, Chevy service guy thought it might be covered under 5 yr power train warranty, but discovered it wasn't. Ok. I paid nearly $800 bill and took off poor but happy truck was working...

One of the first things we noticed when we got our 2013 Key Largo w/stackable washer & dryer was that the only place for the cat's litter box was in the floor of my side of the closet rather than in the washer/dryer prep corner of our old Big Country. (I figured it was a dumb question to ask...

The Level Up on my 2013 Landmark does a great job of leveling, but it usually levels at a high point, with all the legs extended at least half way. I recall the Lippert folks responded to a question about resetting the level point during the Level Up seminar in Goshen, but I can't remember what...

Anyone know where to turn on the OTA TV signal amplifier on a 2013 Landmark Key Largo? On my GBNF '11 Big Country the amplifier switch was on the coax input plate for the BR TV. Not there on the new unit and not on any of the inputs above the LR TV. Don't tell me the DW and I might have to sit...

I'm in the process of fishing the camera cable for the Garmin BC-20 camera. I want to install it just below the middle clearance light near the top of the rear end cap. My plan was to pull the cable from the middle clearance light hole to the upper clearance light hole on the corner of the...

Yesterday, we picked up our very slightly used 2013 Key Largo and said goodbye to our 2011 Big Country that served us well on 18-20 outings since Oct. 2013. We upgraded with the thought of going full-time in a couple of years. Here are a few photos.

N Texas Friends, After thinking we wouldn't be able to attend the national HOC rally in Goshen, things have changed so we can, but can only catch the last day of the pre-rally (15th) and leave on the 21st. This is our first rally. We need help from you experienced folks knowing the ropes and...

i'm not sure this is the proper sub-forum, but didn't see a more appropriate one listed. I have a rocker switch labeled "heater" on the lower right of the tank and battery level panel. I looked in my owner manual where a photo showed this switch but didn't say what it is for. There's a...

The Dometic fridge in our 2011 Big Country has quit working on propane (yes, there's propane in the tanks and the valves are open:)), but works just fine on shore power. If I disconnect the shore power or take it off "Auto", the "Check" light comes on. Any ideas on the possible problem/solution?
