Has anybody replaced the single lever kitchen faucet with pull out sprayer unit with what they consider a real upgrade? I see several for sale like the old original. Mine has the single hole for the plumbing and the 8" wide screw pattern.

I haven't done a bearing repack in a couple of years and I have never done anything to the brakes except inspect and adjust them. I want to install all new brakes this year along with my bearing repacking. I see that I can get the Nev-R-Adjust brakes now. I was wondering if these are the way to...

I have been getting a notice on my cell phone that I am getting Tapatalk messages but when I turn the phone on they are not in my -Messages- Email- or phone records, so I don't know what is going on. I thought I posted a comment on an article or two on the forum that look like they have...

I just drove past one of our local fuel stations and the price for regular gas is 4.23/9 and the V-Power is at 4.55/9. The diesel is at 398/9 but I think it was a little higher a few days ago. I don't know what the prices are over at Goshen but they were higher just across the line in Indiana a...

I got a taste for Kraft Easy Cheese Cheddar 'n Bacon when we were traveling last winter. For some reason they don't sell it around here but still advertise it on cans of other flavors. The Cheddar 'n Bacon tastes best on the butter crackers that I buy. If anybody finds the Cheddar' n Bacon...

A few days ago we heard a loud pop and couldn't figure where it came from. Then this morning I started raising the rear stabilizers and I noticed that one side was raising and the other side wasn't. I picked up on the one that was hanging and the other side dropped down. I decided to go ahead...

I have been using the Angel Soft toilet paper for some time now but lately I noticed that it is taking a long time to flush the black tank. The water will quit flowing out for awhile and then a big clump of paper comes out. A guy on a different forum noticed the Angel Soft is NEW and now it...

We got Iphones, and YES it was pretty dark that far back in the cave, so I was wondering which apps you find the most useful? I have downloaded Camp and Rv already. Also is there one that shows the real time weather radar that follows our location and maybe alerts to bad weather? Tom

We just blew a 3 year old Uniroyal Liberator-LT 265 75 R16 yesterday on the rear of the truck. I was wondering if there is a tire that holds up better for heavy towing with single rear wheels? I don't know if changing the size of the tire would get me a higher rated tire and if so what all is...

I can drain the black tank one day and the gauge will show 2/3 to full the next day. I also noticed that the water level in the commode is lower than it used to be after flushing. Have any of you experienced this because I was wondering if my valve isn't shutting off completely and letting...

A couple of months ago I wanted to add real time satelite viewing to my pc. The site said I had to download some program to get to this real time sat. When I did it added a thing to my google called INBOX. This is not something I want because it looks like all it does is keep track of everything...

We pulled off on the shoulder today and water dripped out from the underbelly all along the down hill side, the door side. I normally don't see water dripping from under the Bighorn. We ran through some light rain the last couple of days and I have heard of the tires slinging it up but I was...

Somebody got into the backdoor of my sisters email account and has been emailing everybody on her address list. I am very careful now when I open emails from her. I told my daughter in law about this and she had the same thing happen before. She said that if this happens you need to contact your...

We are still at Springfield Mo. and we had a mini blizzard today while we were helping our Son and D.I.L. move from a duplex to a house. It made getting out of the old F350 kind of hazardous because the running boards froze up. When we got back to the rv park I had to open the side storage...

I think somebody was keeping track of things gone wrong with the 7.3 PSD trucks so I thought I would tell about the water pump going out on the old 200 F350 7.3 PSD. We were just north of the I-44 exit at Mt. Vernon Mo. when we stopped and I saw the antifreeze running down the front of the...

I woke up this morning and the temperature was only 71* and the furnace was set for 75*. I checked the regulator on the lp bottles and the dot in the middle was red and the arrow was pointing to the right. Both tanks valves were open. So I figured I must be out of gas. I took the strap off of...

She wanted an oil filled radiator heater so we bought one and set it up in the living room. Then she decided that it didn't put out enough heat so she shut it off and unplugged it. Then she turned the ceramic heater back on. She left the radiator heater sitting a couple of feet in front of the...

We left San Antonio yesterday and stopped at Ardmore Ok. for the night. The guy running the place said what we need is a heated hose or we could let the water drip all night. When we got up this morning the water wasn't dripping anymore and it was froze up outside. I went to the office and told...

One of the light bulbs above the couch burnt out and it looks like they have to be ordered from somewhere. So I wondered if anybody has found them in a cool white LED. The cool white LEDs I have in the ceiling fixtures put out the kind of light that we like. Thanks! Tom

I thought the noise was coming from the furnace but when I finally pinned it down it was coming from the propane tanks. This is the first time I have actually let the primary tank run out of propane. I was looking for the green dot on the side towards the tank to turn red. I just thought that I...

The way the wind has been gusting today we are getting used to it rattling the slide covers but just now we had one that sounded like it was trying to rip the slide cover off. Just wondering if anybody has had any damage done to the slide covers from the wind? Tom

Hi. First let me wish you a Merry Christmas. I was outside a few minutes ago and happened to notice that the surge guard had a blinking red light on it and the readouts said RV ON L1 123V Then it said L1 123V 3A L2 LOW We are using very little electric right now because it is 65* and...

I was trying to back into our site down here at Houston yesterday and I had the Bighorn going the right way but for some reason it just did not want to cooperate. So I did everything I could think of including pulling up and backing from the other side. That's when one of the guys watching me...

I started thinking that it might be a good idea if we had a front and back light on the Bighorn. I have the motion sensor porch light and another on the other side in place of the scare light but wondered if anybody have added anything to the front and back of the fifth wheels to light those...

I noticed that the category for tow vehicles has been removed and I think it would be good to have a place to post some of the most common problems we have with some of our trucks. Like this week I had to change the petcock at the water separator on the old 7.3 psd. When you start dripping...

We usually run off of the 30 amp cord but I had to plug in the 50 amp cord today. I went to Camping world and bought a Surge Guard 34750 and I think it is operating properly but not sure because the instructions are kind of confusing. Do any of you know if the--caution when flashing light-- is...

The furnace ran all night last night so I checked the propane tanks today and the one we were running off of had frost about 3/4 of the way up. Does this mean that the tank is 3/4 full or 3/4 empty? Thanks Tom

While getting ready to wash the roof I found a small three corner rip in the rubber on the radius where the roof comes over. I looked up Eterna Bond products and found Roof Seal tape, Roof seal plus for deeper damage , Eterna cleaner and Eterna Primer. Do I need the cleaner and primer or would a...

I picked up an old Honda 2200X generator cheap and got it running. I just wondered if it is worth hauling around. It is rated for 16.7 continuous amps and has two 110v outlets. I see by the 09 Bighorn owners manual that the roof A/C and the microwave draw 15 amps each the charger takes 14 amps...

It looks like we have to take I-35 from OK City to Dallas then I-45 to Houston. What is the easiest way to make the connection to I-45 and any suggestions on RV parks with easy access to the VA hospital on Holcombe Blvd.? We are usually Snowbirds in Fl. but this year we might have to be Winter...

I bought some RV and Marine antifreeze from Walmart last night and looked at the label and it says "do not ingest-call poison control if ingested. This stuff is POISON so I thought I would warn others who are winterizing to read the label. The antifreeze I had before said that it was nontoxic...

I had an experience today where I switched the F350 into 4 wheel low. The light came on saying 4x4 so I thought it was in 4 wheel low. I found out later that there is another light that comes on that says LOW RANGE and if this light isn't on then it really isn't in 4 wheel low. Once it is in 4...

Mary and I started looking for boats after we got home from Fl. this spring. We finally found a very good old 16' Starcraft Vee bottom with a 25 HP mercury motor and a fixer upper trailer. She has been fishing with me about six times since we got it and has been a good sport about it. She wants...

I would like to see a National Fishing License. Where every senior citizen 65 years and older could fish anywhere in this country by buying one license. We have paid our share of taxes and if we are anywhere away from our home state we are spending money there too. Some states have laws where...

Venture has 2 drawings in owners manuals that show the breakdown of parts for the electric landing gear. One shows the complete landing gear and has components numbered from 1-11 and the other shows the internal parts inside the landing leg numbered from 819-04 to 1020-03. I will detail how...

I removed the landing leg with the motor assembly on it today. The lower pinion gear no longer makes contact with the drive gear. It looks like the bracket that holds the pinion gear has slipped down and away from the drive gear on one side. On the other side it is still sticking through the U...

Hi. I had to change out some connections inside the frame on the Bighorn before to get decent reception. I am thinking that if I could find a way to run all of the coax inside that it would stay weatherproof and maybe the connections would be more reliable. I like the idea of the jack antenna...

This has probably been discussed before but I was wondering if we would run out of lp in the middle of the night if both bottles are cranked open and one is near empty. Are the type of valves we have automatic changeover or does it have to be flipped when the first tank is empty? My valve is...

We watched the rocket go up through the palm trees across the road from the front of the bighorn the night before. Then last night we watched the solar flare lights dance around on the clouds. The lights we could see where we are seemed to be rotating in a clockwise motion generally but there...

I have noticed a lot of slack in the entrance door even after it is locked from the inside. The other night I could see outside light, near where the handle was, after I locked the door. I pulled on the handle and it made a sound like it latched. This doesn't give me a lot of confidence in this...
