Howdy, watching the techs when they were replacing the pin, there needed to be coordination on how the pin hole was situated in order to place the pin in the hole. We did this with my DW at the controls pushing either in or out when directed to get the hole situated to place the pin in it. There...

I haven’t used any lubricant on my slides, just tried to keep the gears and teeth clean…I’ll make it a point to look into the lubricants suggestions and start spraying those areas of my slides. Thanks, I appreciate the advice and suggestion.

My brother-in-law has a Spider and really enjoys iI Many centuries ago I took a year off from college and worked in west Wyoming, it surely seems that not much has changed from my time back then…. I think that is good. Still lots of unspoiled open space and lonely roads. If you’re into Western...

Thanks Bill, yes extra pins would be wise, each time this happens I tell myself to invest in carrying some extra pins. maybe I’ll learn.

Haven’t posted in awhile but wanted to at least post a somewhat positive trip. Just made it back from a six weeks trip to cooler climes of Wyoming, Colorado, and Northern New Mexico. Was able to get in some fly fishing and check out a couple of wonderful museums in Pinedale, Wyoming (Mountain...

DW and I spent over 5000 miles exploring this great country. Our BH and old truck worked great; no issues whatsoever. Yes it was hot most of the time but the two air conditioners were able to handle it. Visited family in the Dallas area then headed north, Oklahoma, Nebraska, South Dakota...

Pulled into a park in Buffalo Wyoming and fellow campers with the same model Bighorn 3010RE pulled in next to us. Another coincidence was our trucks, same year, color and mode…only difference was there’s a GMC, mine a Chevy. We are also real close to the Big Horn Mountains. DumbOld Les

I was able to get four replacement tires installed today. Mine were the 3820 code. I feel fortunate to be able to find a tire dealership able to find the replacement Sailums.

Follow up to inform that Anderson has sent me a replacement valve to replace the broken valve. My plan is to give this new valve a turn when I check out my rig while it is storage. Thanks for the replies to this post. Dumboldles

May need to replace the whole valve system unless you can get it unstuck. Seems to be a design flaw that, I’m sure, we are going to see many others in the future with the same problem. Dumboldles

Thanks for the replies. I’ll take care of this issue after we make it back to home base. I have informed Anderson about the issue. From now on I’ll make it part of checking on my rig to give the handle a turn. Here’s a photo of my system that hopefully gets us through our trip.

I should have mentioned on my earlier post that it was an all brass unit that froze. I replaced the original plastic valve with the brass about a year one/half ago.

I noticed that this topic has been brought up before but wanted to hear from folks that are smarter then me. First day out this year pulled into camp ground started doing the routine set up. Got to switching the valve from winterize to city and could not make the switch. Decided to get some...

I had an excellent experience with Jim’s RV in Santa Clara, Utah. Had them repack the axils and actually had somebody figure out and fix my jack system that did the stop start routine when extending or retracting. While the wheels were off I rushed the tires over to a tire installer changed the...

Thinking it’s getting to that five year time period and looking to replace my g rated sailums. Are Sailums still the brand to go to? I’m satisfied with that Sailums that came with my coach and will probably go with this same brand unless there is a comparable alternative I should consider. Also...
