Sorry for the delay. Computer has been down. Other screws were in the bag under the cover. Thanks. Steve

Received my EMS in mail yesterday. Missing 2 of the 4 screws that attaches the lid. Is this normal. Gonna save it to install in whatever my new camper will be this. Been looking hard and can't find one to match my 3670 as far as comfort, live-ability and storage. Might be in another...

I bought the 150 PSI Porter Cable pancake compressor at Lowe's and has worked fine. Make sure I have it pumped and full before I leave on trip in case I need it on the road. keep in basement. Once at campsite I make sure it is full and turn it off just in case it looses a few # and decides to...

OK guys, I know this is a drastic approach, but if I replace the power cord reel with twist lock system, change out my original cord as well as the 6-2 going from reel to circuit breaker box as well as all breakers AND panel and instal the EM? Delete transfer switch since I have no genny, would...

Hi Ray, No GFI problems at all prior to this. It has happened 3 different locations as well. 1st time fried transfer switch. Some say the fried neutral wire that fried(causing open neutral) backfed and killed microwave . Not sure if it fried from surge or it was the problem. Once I get the...

I know I am jumping the gun here, but could the EMS HW50C be mounted in the basement where I will be removing the transfer switch?

Everyone--except the dealer, is pointing to an open neutral. With that said, I will definitely have a surge protector unit before using any rv again. Although with open neutral in camper, protection on power pedestal would not have mattered. Steve

No. It is something between the pedestal and the rig...internally.. An open neutral is what everyone is saying. Very sporadic so hard to trace. ...AND I AM GETTING NO HELP.

Might be the happiest day of my life---4th to my 2 kids being born and selling my 1st boat---yea trading in my POS Bighorn. After all of my refer problems being solved, a month ago we had an electrical problem that sent 238v thru all of my receptacles frying my microwave and transfer switch...

DITTO, We bought the Emerson at Target 3 years ago for $129.00. 2 weeks later went on sale for $99.00. Brought receipt in and was issued a $20.00 refund. Still working great.

DITTO on that

Thanks COWBOY for covering for me in my absence. Actually waiting for Progressive(manuf. of transfer switch) to authorize replacement of switch. Extended warranty referred dealer to original manufacturer warranty of box which is 2 years. Upon replacement we will find out what, if any thing...

Just got home from dealer. problem was a fried transfer switch on the neutral side. Switch box was found behind wall in storage bay. Cover was not screwed on and the little retainer ring where the wire feeds into box was not even screwed in and tightened. Gotta love the American workmanship...

same 50amp plug for the last 18 months. 2-120v legs that are split in breaker panel. Wish it was that easy. I think I have narrowed it down to between the camper side of the power cord reel and the breaker panel, but still stumped.

Last week my convection/microwave died. Took my 2011 Bighorn 3670 in to dealer. They removed oven for warranty repair and I brought rig back home. After arriving home all kinda weird things began to happen. 12v system died completely. Some 120v appliances were blinking. Upon checking...

Great place for all of my various style acrylic cocktail glasses. Mine always swung open--even after a factory replacement latch was sent to me. DW went to Lowes and bought a very small screen door latch (brass) and i mounted it at the very top and no more surprise openings. You actuall have...

Could not keep myself quiet here guys. This is actually my second post in a row with good news. My RM1350 is still working and cooling fine. As for the disturbing auto lock---seems sometimes it locks---sometimes it doesn't. Always seems to lock when you are in it and about to close the door...

I will try to take pics tomorrow and see what I can do.

Man Kenny!!!! You sound like I did a few months ago. Maybe I need to take a pic of how they modified my baffle and send it to you. Mine may go out tomorrow but this weekend at Cajun Palms it worked fine....even after the door came open on the way over and the temp was at 45 degrees. By that...

I am in the market for a good quality a/c air compressor that will give me good service for maintaining my 110psi tires on my Bighorn.; Want something that can be relatively portable as well as not breaking the bank. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve A. Dagro

Seems kinda awkward giving a positive report but---the 2 -120mm fans my dealer installed just above my bottom vent seems to have fixed my yr long problem. My fridge has been at 32-33 degrees since the repair. Good luck to you. Steve A. Dagro

After exactly one year of frustration, I am once again a happy camper. I know several of you out there have read my "fridge bashing" posts. I hope I am not jinxing myself with this report but after the dealer installed 2-120mm fans and wired them direct(always on) and redesigning the baffle in...

The dealer installed 2-120mm fans in the rear/behind fridge facing up as well as modified the baffle that Dometic/heartland recommended and as of right now is holding at 33degrees

is there a "LEMON LAW" in the RV industry. Been wondering that for some 6 months now. I really love my Bighorn and want to keep it as I have made a few simple mods to make it "MINE". But D****T BOY!!! I know this will probably get pulled, but enough is enough. I will be going to Gulf Shores next...

Has anyone who has NEVER had a problem with their dometic fridge ever put a digital thermometer to compare the cute little digital read-out with a real thermometer? I have had 2 digital thermometers in my fridge for 10 months and they are never anywhere close to the built in read-out. And yes...

Outside temps are on the rise.........and so is the refer temps. This past weekend when outside temps were near 80 degrees, my fridge was running 40-43 degrees and"IT AIN'T SUMMER YET". Here we go again. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!! One year anniversary in 2 weeks and still in refrigerator "LIMBO"...

Mine in my 2011, 3670 has come off 3-4 times. Pop off the cap, loosen allen screw, then get some lock-tite. Not sure which color. You don't want the one that is permanent. I tightened mine several times and it kept coming loose. After the lock-tite was applied haven't had a problem since...

Just trying to put a little humor in to the situation to reduce the steam building up in me. Steve

Hi Ray, My feelings are hurt that I was not included in you comment about Kenny being patient with Dometic. With my 3rd RM1350 installed since my 2011 purchase in 4/22/10 and still not working, I have considered LEMON LAW as well as finding a residential 110V fridge that I could use with a...

Re: keyless entry Took my keypad apart as per my instructions by Lippert and was told to check battery. Upon removal of cover and rubber boot I found corrosion all over the circuit board. Another pad was sent to my dealer and I will be there 1st thing tomorrow morning to have it installed and...

Dave... I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOU AND YOUR REFER THAT IS WORKING NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU GIVE IT THE OPPORTUNITY TO NOT WORK. I think you got a "LEMON"..because I think there are more out there like ours than yours. I am still considering an AC compressor type. Come April and May when the...

GOSH Kenny, you are soooo smart. Why didn't I think of that. The 1st 4 steps didn't work on mine either. Mine makes about 8-10 1/2 cubes per trip until DW says "that's enough of that. I can utilize that ice bin more efficiently".--------Like for frozen libation ingredients!!!

My keyless entry went out again today. Will put in a call to Mike Faye tomorrow. Steve

Re: keyless entry How do you get to the battery?

Went to put something in my RV today and found a dead keypad. The manufacturer sent me a new and improved keypad with a better seal around it back in Aug./Sept. and it worked great til now. I hasn't been in the weather to get wet or anything. Anyone else with this problem. Thanks in advance...

I think I got the signature "stuff" added. This is my test.

Hi Dave, Pretty computer challenged. I have a 2008 1 ton SRW GMC. How do I add that to my signature? And yes I am overloaded and no I am not crazy about it but at this point I can not afford to put 2 more tires on the ground to make it better. DW wants to know why I worry about everything...

Hey Tom, Sounds like I need the tow vehicle in your signature!!

Hi Wharton, That's exactly what we did. We loaded as if we were going on trip, except for maybe 20-30# of refrigerator items. Full propane tanks, fuel fuel tank, approx. 8 gal. water in fresh water tank.

Traveler, that is exactly what I did. I also calculated the tongue wt. 2 different ways. I subtracted the drive axle weight of just truck from the drive axle wt. while loaded and came up with 2980#. Then I subtracted gross weight of truck only from the combined weight of steer axle and drive...
