The refrigerator in my trailer quit working, no power to it at all. Also the living room AC does not work. Everything else is normal. All fuses and breakers check good. The trouble started with a low power situation. What can I check to troubleshoot the two specific problems? 2008 Big Country.

Ever Wonder? Where does the purple go when you drink grape Cool-ade?

Washing your fuel I'm not a diesel guru, but I'd guess as much as you've driven without problems you've gotten away with it. I would definitely check that sediment bowl though, and it would probably pay to change the fuel filter. Scary lesson though!

Spring Rally Hi, Ed Weidig here. I am planning to come down for the rally. Hopefully I won't have to cancel this time. Looking forward to meeting everyone. I am going to "The Rally" in Perry, GA in March too. Anyone else going to that one? Ed

Cajuns That was cool. One talented kid!

Actually not Two sixes in series will give more amp hours than two twelves in parallel. That's the reason most people go to them. Those four in a series/parallel configuration would give lots of boondocking time. Also would add a lot of weight.

Brake controller Most of us have Prodigy controllers. There are some other good brands out there. Don't skimp on the controller, your life depends on it.

Kyle, TX ExploreUSA I bought my Big Horn 3055RL from ExploreUSA in Kyle. In fact I bought three trailers there in just a little over a year. The first was a Trailmanor 2720. After one trip I decided my TV would handle more trailer so I said if they would give me the full price I paid for the...

Tools A 1/2" drive torque wrench with the proper size socket for your lug nuts. It pays to check them at 50 miles, 200 miles, and then before each trip. I check mine every other day or so when towing too. Most of the time you won't find any loose, but better safe than sorry. The 12V compressor...

April 18 - 21 there will be a Heartland Owner's Rally at Rayford Crossing just north of Houston. If any of you are still in the area, come join the fun. See the 2008 Rally thread.

Heartland dealers If you're coming down I-35 there's a decent dealer in Kyle, TX. Explore USA. They carry a pretty fair inventory. Can't swear they'll have the one you're looking for, but it could be worth a look. Ask for Tommy, tell him I sent you.

I pulled into Rayford Crossing RV Park at about 3:30 this afternoon. The first trailer I saw inside the park was a Big Horn 3055 like mine. Nobody around to talk to. Will check again in the AM. I cranked up the truck to go to dinner and immediately went into limp mode.:mad: I changed the fuel...

Lottery I almost won the lottery Saturday night. I came >ll< this close to buying a ticket!

Light I have the same problem in my 2006. I have fixed it a couple times, seems like a socket problem. Since I don't use those lights much I decided I could do without it until I get really ambitious. Doesn't look good in the near future! I don't know if I'm getting more patient, or just lazy.

Heater not working I'm having the same problem. My blower comes on, runs for about 15 or 20 seconds, fire never lights, blower turns off. It worked one day, not the next. The stove worked fine, didn't switch to gas for fridge or water heater to check that, but switched tanks anyway. (And I'm...

Places to stop I am currently staying at Columbus RV Park in Columbus, TX. I learned today that any active duty military that are near here or passing through can get one free night w/full hookups. The campground is good, nothing special, but the price is right. The people here are super.

Pun intended. I loved 'em. I think puns are a great form of humor, even though I call them groaners. I have a son who is a great punster. I have to pass these on to him. Thanks.

I put the 5th Airborne pin box on mine. I get slightly more chucking, but overall a much better ride.

Even though I'm alone 90% of the time, I like my king sized bed. I've found that California King sized sheets almost fit the bed properly. Since the king size bed doesn't leave room for a night stand, I bought some items at CW for my books, glasses, etc. These are in the living room, but I...

I think you have your answer already, but I'll add another plug. I just returned from a three-and-a-half week 7000 mile trip through the western U.S. and Canada. I used PA six of the nights for a total savings of $69.50. I use mine every October in Louisiana for six or seven nights and New Years...

Well durn Jay, I hate to do this, but I'm going to have to cancel. I just got a call from a friend in Hawaii who needs me to help her prepare for a dance contest she has entered. As much as I hate it ;) I'm going to have to go spend about a month or two in Honolulu, rent free even. I was...

Add my vote for the blue one. You could always throw away your spare tire and use the red one for that. I wish I'd done more homework before buying. Not that I don't like my truck, but being a devout Tim Allen type, give me power!!!

Dealer problem Sounds like a dealer problem. Go to the "Ask the Factory" portion on this forum. I think you'll get some better answers.

Don't use special TP. Scott single ply disolves better in the tank and is a lot cheaper. I found that I need at least four lengths of white hose. Usually only use one or two, but when I needed more it was a long way to the store. Some of my handiest items from CW are the magazine racks and the...

Nametag For my nametag just use Ed.

Rally I have always wanted to go to Branson. All other things being equal, I will be there. (A year from now is a long time to make commitments. Many things can happen in that time, unfortunately glitches as well as the good stuff). I'll be attending my first Heartland rally in Houston Oct...

Mt Rushmore Don't know how long you'll be there, but I should be arriving in the area sometime around the 27th. I'm going to try to get in at the famcamp at the airbase there. I plan to spend about three days in the area. Unfortunately I'll have to get back home for appointments by Aug 3. I...

RV sheets I had the same problem. Try this, I found it on Yahoo search. http://www.ablifestyles.net/servlet/the-Camper-%26-RV-Bedding/Categories Also, I found some 600 thread count California King size sheets on sale at Bed Bath and Beyond. They're not an exact fit, but better than regular...

Resevation. Just booked my reservation. See you on the 19th, probably noonish.

Saw this before. Not sure which forum. Like Ray says, for people that have more dollars than cents, (sense?).

Separate slide switches On the walkthrough of my new 2006 Big Horn they showed me how at the hydrolic pump there were valves for each of my three slides. I am assuming that they could be operated or cut off individually. Haven't had any need to try.

Self installation I found a used Splendid on Craig's list. Paid $400 for year old unit. I had to remove my doors to get it in to the closet. Not overly complicated or difficult, but I had my son helping. It would be more difficult without help, but not impossible.

Headed west on I20 about mile marker 346. Red ? TV. I was headed east with my Big Horn 3055. Overnighting in Ft. Worth. Thought I saw a Landmark shortly behind the Big Horn, but was in traffic so can't be sure.

King Bed All I have to do is open the cabinet door. Actually the tech doing my pdi showed me that.

Just figured it out. OK, after much looking and appointment juggling it looks like I've got a tentative schedule worked out. I think you can count me in for the Houston rally. Of course lots can happen between now and then, but save me a space. If anything should come up in the meantime I'll...

I went to a Thousand Trails pitch this past weekend. Saw two Big Horns, a Landmark and a Sundance at the campground. Only found one Big Horn owner home. Theirs was a 3400 and they loved it. They said they are on the forum.

Dallas KOA I was at the Dallas KOA for their free night this past weekend. I saw a Big Horn that looked like long term tenants, but never could catch anyone home to say hello.

ExploreUSA in Kyle, TX - Good I've had nothing but good from ExploreUSA in Kyle, TX. Even though I know I paid too much, I was way upside down on my trade-in, we worked a satisfactory deal on my Big Horn 3055. The service department has been top notch every time I've gone in. Nothing but good...

Towing behind 5er, I read somewhere that it is not allowed in Florida. However, I was having breakfast one time where a couple FHP were at the next table. A car went by towing a TT about 27' and a boat about 18', and one of the patrolmen just exclaimed to his partner, "Wow man, did you see that...

Shipping to Mexico It looks like for the most part you have plenty of help. However, just in case, I lived in Mexico for seven years. I had several items shipped there. If you can get the shipping vendor to state the value of an item $10 US or less, it won't be taxed and will (likely) reach you...
