Thanks for all your suggestions. Forgot about Craigslist and the web site is great. Direct wants to charge me more than $150 to come out and hook up a receiver beacause I didn't include it my original installation and that doesn't include an additional dish. Thanks again.

Need Direct Tv dish (not roof mounted) and receiver. Don't care if they are HD or not. Just switched from Dish and have to start over again. Should have saved my old Direct equipment but I didn't.

Hawkeye - This has worked well for me. No explosions either. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/3978-Bighorn-Appliances-Added-oven-igniter?highlight=

Take my advice. Don't assume your Surge Guard is defective and disconnect it. Thats what I did last year and burned up my microwave, bedroom tv and a few minor appliances. Problem was in the pedastal and campground reimbursed me for everything. I had bought a used portable Surge Guard so I...

Dave & Julie I too have been enjoying your travels. Brings back many memories of a similiar trip we took in 2002. See you are going back to Watson Lake and would like to suggest, if you haven't done so already, stopping at Dawson Peaks Resort, which is about 7 miles (KM's ?) east of Teslin at...

Just wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to Brenda Rock in Heartlands parts department. Needed a number of parts to repair damage from two seperate tread separations that occured on our last trip and she did an excellent job in not only getting me the parts in a timely fashion but just...

I'm in Port Orchard,Wa and I just paid $162 + WA state tax at Big O - no shipping added. Les Schaub was the same price but added $12.50 shipping. Discount Tire in Tacoma wanted $210. In January I paid $142 in Beaumont CA after a tread seperation on I-10. Wish I would have been smart enough to...

Bob Thanks for your great explanation. Have to admit I had to read it a couple of times for the info to sink in - but thats my problem. I'm on the road right now but will print this thread out when I get home and keep a copy in the BH and also get my tires balanced before our next trip. Thanks...

This is really confusing. I have had a previous SOB and more recently my BH in to have the axles aligned - the first at a semi truck center and the BH at an alignment shop that specializes in RV's and both told me it was not necessary to balance the tires. Who do I believe? Truck center said...

Hey Bob Glad to hear you are safe and sound in Yakima. You're right about lack of Heartland presence in WA. Think the main dealers are in Liberty Lake and Fife. That's why we ended buying in Muskegon. This state seems to lean more towards Montanas. Holler if you get this side of the mountains...

I envy those of you heading for Alaska this summer. DW only knows one direction anymore - SOUTH. Don't miss stopping at Dawson Peaks at milepost 797 in the Yukon. Dave and Carolyn are two of the nicest people you will ever meet and whether its an overnite in their campground or an afternoon...

Anybody not using their vacuum and would like to get rid of it? I need a new circuit board for ours and have been unable to find one. Eureka doesn't support them anymore and referred me to another company who suggests replacing the whole unit. Thought I'd check here first. Please e-mail or PM...

We have an '07 and it was a 9260C which has a built in charge wizard. The reason I know is that some power problems just caused me to replace it. I now have a 9100(9160?) but have to get a plugable wizard. I'm pretty sure both models are rated at 60 amps. Good luck.

I have/had the Sylvania in our BH3055 and the same thing happened to ours last summer. I pulled it out and found a round plate about 4" in diameter on the bottom that I pulled out - I think I had to break a couple of metal tabs to do so. Found the motor with the piece that powers the turntable...

Hey Bob - I'm with Alan on the Gig Harbor park. Much less traffic with the new Narrows Bridge (read "toll" into the new). We are back in Casa Grande and won't be home till April but hope to see both you and Alan then. Alan - did you get the e-mail I sent you before we left? Was kinda...

Looking for suggestions. Thought I read about a similiar problem sometime ago but can't seem to find it now. Anyway, We have been Direct TV subscribers for a number of years. In 2003 we filed the proper paperwork with them in order to subscribe to their Distant Network Services while we are...

You might want to check this link. Works good for me. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php?t=3978

skyguy is right on. Found it in the Garden Department at our local Ace Hardware store with all of the pond, waterfall, etc. products. Brand I got was "Touch'nFoam" Landscape Filler Adhesive. Web site is www.touch-n-foam.com. Worked great for me.

Just wanted to add that I have replaced 5 of my cabinet latches with the ones that Dennis used and they are great. I still have 3 more to do and all three slides will be fully protected from future accidents. Thanks Dennis, for the ordering information. I have to admit I missed the fact that...

itsbeertime Think I got the same fridge for our basement from Walmart last year. Spent 3 months traveling in the Southwest (in some pretty hot weather) last winter with no problems. Switched it to the inverter when traveling and back to AC when parked. Paid for it in less than a month with...

I think this might be the one you are looking for - www.stpauleastrvpark.com I believe it uised to be a KOA but changed in recent years. Haven't been there but we have reservations for the Memorial Day Weekend. Hope to surprise my sister in North St. Paul on her 80th birthday.

You might call Country Roads RV before you leave in the morning. They are at 1651 So. Hwy. 160 and you can reach them at 775-751-9912. They may not have the part you need but could take one off a unit they have on the lot. They were very helpfull last year when I had a problem with a shower door...

Roger & Karen Because the dish is set 90 degrees from the normal tri-pod position you have to subtract the elevation for your location from 90 to get the correct setting. The azmuith stays the same. I have to admit the first time I used this set-up I forgot about the 90 degree offset and...

Lo Profile Mount Have to say that this one is not very pricey which made it attractive to me. A 10' piece of 1" PVC and various fittings all for about $5.00. I splurged and bought levelers for each leg which added to the cost but was worth it. The wind was really gusty here at Casa Grande today...

Found this idea for an in-expensive replacemant for the typical tri-pod satellite mount on another RV Forum. Don't think it would be stable enough for a HD dish but its working good for the standard dish I still use. Because its so low to the ground it seems to withstand winds better than...

Big Horns at 29 Palms Bob We were in site #98. If that was you at the end of the row you were pulling out about the time I was just having my coffee. Passed by Quartside yesterday and looked like it was starting to get busy. Saw a Big Horn heading north on Hwy. 85 just north of Gila Bend on...

We are one of them. Just passing thru on our way to Casa Grande.

Had a similiar problem on SOB. Turned out to be a kink in the hose to one of the propane tanks. The furnace requires a higher pressure than the stove, water heater and refrigerator and the kink reduced it enough to keep the furnace from igniting. Good luck.

Rand Been watching your rally plans. We hope to be back in Minnesota the end of May for my (older) sister's 80th birthday so we''ll see how the schedule works out. Maybe our paths will cross down south this time. We will be in Casa Grande for 2 weeks starting Jan. 9, then Winterhaven, Indio...

Coming home from 3 days at the Lucky Eagle casino in Rochester (heading north on I-5) saw a BH heading south at around MP 95. Took me so long to find the light switch so I could blink them that I didn't even see what the TV was or whether they blinked back. Then about a half hour later saw...

OK - I'm really confused (so whats new?). My sister and brother-in-law got $1,200 deposited to their bank account today and their income is totally from Social Security. My understanding was the original bill didn't include us but the one that eventually passed did. Can anyone explain? Hank

HT - I have had the same experience. In our travels I have checked Home Depots in Washington, Oregon, California and Arizona with no luck. Also check Lowes and Ace but they tend to carry 3M products. I think somebody (Bill or Bob) may have posted a web site but I can't find it anymore. Hank

Did basically the same as grizzygiant. Got a quote from R'nR and then headed for Muskegon. Suggest you get a price quote from Lakeshore before you make any deals. Also if you get west of the mountains theres a new Bighorn dealer in Fife (Tacoma). Its Holiday Motorhomes INC.,dba/RV Liquidators...

Bob - Same thing happened to me. Went to pack up for our trip south in mid January and every double door had no space between them. Thought about planing but didn't want to go to that extreme so I inserted some plastic material I had (less than an eigth of an inch thick) bewteen the doors in...

More on additives. Ken - I hope this isn't the same report you referred to. I got this one off another forum. Guess I'll quit using Power Kleen. http://www.johnfjensen.com/Diesel_fuel_additive_test.pdf

We also had a towel bar attached to our shower door until last Monday night. When opening the door it just exploded and Lizzy you are correct in your estimate of the number of pieces that end up on the floor and even on the bed. Took a while to clean everything up. Bill - Did the temporary...
