Hello Everyone, Thank you to everyone over the years who have helped and offered advice on the issues we have had on the Big Country. We have been offered a screaming trade value on a new Fifth Wheel of another brand. I know I will miss this forum and the great people on it. So, I will still be...

Yes, thank you. I am just glad it wasn't a motor.

I did, it stops at the inside roof panel.

Are there any wires in the roof over the closet housing the main control panel? I want to drill a hole about 12 inches from the side of the trailer to route wires for my Wifi antenna power down between the walls that the control panel is mounted on. I have been in the wall so i know that is all...

Re: Electric Awning works Intermitently Solved Fixed, sure enough those fold over splices were bad where the RV wiring connects to the awning arm. Cut them off and replaced them with butt splices and heat shrinkabe tubing. Works like new.

Done that, no relationship that I can see. Probably a mystery that will remain unsolved. Ceiling fan works, I am happy, now I have other things to focus on.

Pulled the DC fuse panel, found the wires on the ground side of the number 9 fuse loose. the wires were loose on the long metal block where all the white wires connect. This is the fuse that has been blowing and causing the ceiling fan to not work. I am not sure of the relationship between the...

Surprised I got 5 years out of it. No tape on it, nothing, just the two splices exposed to the elements. They do look corroded. I will let you know if it works when I change them tomorrow after work.

Sitting here thinking, the wires connect from the RV to the awning using those fold over splices. The ones that use a small metal blade to pierce the two wires then a plastic fold over cap is snapped in place. The splices are not taped just exposed to the elements. I connected 12 volts to the...

Awning quit extending all at once with no warning, went out about 12 inches then stopped, no blown fuse. Checked switch and it has 12v, went to wires on awning arm and applied 12 volts to motor, awning extended and retracted. Had DW hit switch to extend while checking with volt meter on wires...

I towed a rear kitchen model for a couple of years and the main thing I noticed is how much stuff moved around. The back end of these longer fifth wheels tend to bounce considerably. We found that a lot of cushion was required to keep things in place. The funniest thing though was the first...

Something to consider when picking a bicycle rack for the rear of your fifth wheel. I spoke to a Swagman representative and he informed me that not all bike racks they sell are approved for use on the rear of an RV. I purchased one of there $150.00 racks and almost dumped both of my bikes on the...

For the first two years of ownership we would winterize the fridge ice maker ensuring it didn't freeze. This was after we froze it the first year of ownership. Now we drained all of the water from the icemaker, shut of the water to the fridge and purchased a table top icemaker. Lift is easy now...

We bought this one, super comfy. Better than the original king bed in the bedroom...

The Smart Plug is in my Amazon wish list, maybe Santa will get it for the BC. As for now all is well. I purchased a much higher quality connector then the one that was on the trailer originally and I know it is installed correctly with no cut wires. And, no more pigtails for me. Again, thank you...
