    Propane Flow Problem

    So I posted this issue back in 2019 about propane flow problems. The issue: Off-door side with dual propane regulator seems to work fine when propane is flowing from that tank. The door side is the problem. Off-door side ran out of propane last night and the automatic switchover to the door...

    Height from ground to bottom of Rear Hydraulic Jacks when retracted

    When I had my disc brakes installed about two years ago, l also had them install 7 leaf springs. Before I had them installed, I was able to auto level the jacks without them hitting max extension without additional blocks. Now I have to put down blocks under the jacks so they don't reach max...

    Auto Retract on 6 point leveling system

    The last couple of times I have tried to auto retract my leveling jacks, they have not responded. The display shows that the jacks are up when they actually are still down. So I end up manually retracting them. Everything else is working on the leveling system. Any ideas why this is happening?

    Slide Out Won't Extend

    Connecting DISH system through UDC to Main TV

    Just tried connecting by new DISH King Tailgater through the UDC to the main TV in my living room in my 3270RS Big Horn. Followed the instructions in the UDC as to which connection to hook to (second from right) Nothing. Then tried the other three coax connections in the UDC, nothing. Inside...

    Shower Hose Smell

    Getting a skunky smell for the first couple of seconds when turning on the shower and running the hot water. Took off shower hose and head and put in a baking soda/vinegar solution for a couple of hours. The hose still smelled after doing this so think the plastic hose needs to be replaced since...

    Propane on during Traveling Day

    This might be obvious but have to ask. Refrigerator should be level while parked so there are no problems while doing it's job. I know a lot of folks leave their propane on when traveling to keep refrigerator items cold. So was wondering, does traveling affect the refrigerator when going up...

    MCD Manual Shade Stuck in down position

    I have the single (no black shade) MCD shades in my fifth wheel. The one above the dining table is stuck in the down position, evidently extended too far. No matter what I do, it will not go up. Any suggestions on how to get the shade to go up normally short of taking it off the wall? And...

    Adjusting the Height of Rear and Side landing gear

    So I had disc brakes, new springs, the Morryde CRE 3000 and shocks all installed last May. Up to that point, I really had no problem when at an RV site of auto leveling my jacks without additional blocking. I did change from 6 leaf to 7 leaf springs. Now just about everywhere we go, I need to...

    Floor Heating Vent covered when slide in

    Our heating floor vent on our dinette slide is covered when the slide is in. The other vents are not. My dinette slide cannot fully extend because of the house being too close. Sometimes I would like to turn on the furnace in this situation but wonder if that would hurt anything with the...

    Purchasing New Tires - 4 Plus the Spare?

    Will be replacing my Big Horn tires this spring. Think I know the answer to this question but here goes anyways: When replacing the four tires on the rig due to age, should you also replace the spare tire even though it has never been used? My guess is yes based on age (all were manufactured...

    Slide Wiper Seal Replacement

    For those of us that have slide toppers, what is the best way to replace the wiper seals. The seals are good except for where the top and side seals meet at the glued corners. They are torn there and one corner when slide out still leaves part of the seal inside the slide. Can anyone tell me how...

    Slide Topper Stitching Starting to Pull Apart

    Noticed when I was inspecting the top of the fifth wheel that the stitching next to the slide topper where it attachs to the rail is starting to pull apart. The stitching at the end of the awning is double and triple stitched and looks OK. But just inward of that, the stitching is breaking for...

    Propane Pigtail

    Replaced the propane pigtail on the door side of my Big Horn last fall trying to determine why the furnace would not disperse any heat when on that propane tank. On the off-door side, and on that propane tank, the furnace worked fine. So followed other owner's recommendations and replaced the...

    VIAIR Compressor versus tank compressor

    Read some of the old threads that are now closed on the VIAIR. I am in the market for an air compressor to fill my 110 PSI RV tires when pressure is low. I currently have a Ryobi air compressor that is AC. I understand that the VIAIR only runs off a battery. I can see how that would be great...

    Propane Flow Problem

    OK Heartlanders, another puzzle to solve. DW told me the furnace was on but blowing cold air. Well, just switched tanks a couple of days ago (we always keep one full and manually turn lever when one is empty). Up until today, the furnace was working fine with that door side tank. Looked at...

    Lug Bolt Size

    Favorite Cookware brand?

    HI Everyone; I am needing new cookware for the RV. I have been using Farberware but it doesn't seem heavy enough as things burn quite easily. I don't need a complete set of cookware, a couple of saucepans and a dutch oven will do for me. Anyone have a favorite brand they use in their RV...

    Level Up System Monitor not reading correctly

    On our last trip, I had problems with the auto retract portion of the monitor. The jacks were all extended like normal while we camped. When we were ready to leave and I turned on the system, the monitor indicated that all jacks were up even though they were still extended. Consequently, when...

    Tightening Knobs when Awning Deployed

    Just wondering what everyone with an electric awning does as far as tightening the knobs on the arms when deployed. Obviously they need to be loosened when retracting the awning. But when extending it, does everyone tighten both knobs on the arms? I only tighten the one next to the door, then...

    Interior Seal Tear on Bottom of Slideroom

    When we were out in the RV a few weeks ago, we noticed a 12 inch long piece of seal laying in front of the refrigerator when putting the off-door slide out. Upon further investigation, I found where the torn seal came from. Right in front of the slide rollers under the refrigerator. My guess...

    Our Norcold side-by-side AC/propane refrigerator has an interior width of 32 inches. In our previous Bighorn, we used the expandable bars to secure items on the shelves, but that was not a side-by-side. The expandable bars max width is 28 inches. CW and other researched stores do not have...

    Chocks or No Chocks When Using Level Up System

    On my 3055 Bighorn, I used the "between the tire" chocks and they worked well. I now find that on my 3270, the tires are further apart than the 3055 and those chocks have to be extended out to almost max. Then when getting ready to depart, the chock is wedged tightly between the tires and very...
