We spent a month in New Orleans, came home for two months and now, when using the kitchen faucet and toilet the water randomly turns orange. This is NOT the color of our winterizing solution (that's hot pink.) Everything was fine in New Orleans and we're using the water straight from the tap...

I am repacking my bearing on my 2013 big country 3690 and wanted to replace the bearing seals. When visiting an parts store is there a specific part number I should be looking for?

My wife and I recently came concerned because we have not been doing maintenance on the wheel bearing (packing, greasing, cleaning, etc) since we bought our RV. Our RV has around 7000 miles and is almost three years old. I know I want to get it serviced but I'm trying to determine the urgency...

I've noticed in the last few days that the color of the water coming from the air conditioning looks rust colored. See attached pic. Seemed odd that it would rust in such a short time. We are under trees so perhaps this is caused by organic debris on the roof and the air conditioning water is...

The other day my wife switched on the gas for the hot water heater due to low voltage problems at the park preventing us from using electric. Later that day we saw the attached picture. I have not turned it back on again to see if it happens again (will probably try that this weekend). But...

I've recently had my 50 amp breaker in the RV trip 3 times. Twice yesterday and once about a month ago. My concern is that it might happen while I am away from my RV, cutting out the air conditioning which my dog depends on when I leave him alone. Below are a few facts that may or may not be...

Bought Goodyear G614 tires. Tire dealer inflated to 80 psi, sidewall says 110. I assume sidewall is correct?

Are you happy with your TPMS? We're in the market, ordering this week. I'd love to know what you have, if you'd recommend it, and what you think we should be looking for. Thanks, Alice

On our most recent trip we had a tire blow out. Luckily almost no damage. Roadside helped up put on the spare and we continued on our way. But a new trip is nearing and I was unsure the best course of action to take to get me back on the road safely. Had the following questions: Do I need to...

Just blew a tire. Sitting on highway in Fl. Paid extra at dealer for Cornerstone united roadside and can't get ahold of them. Anyone have a better number? Also, replacement tires?! Suggestions?! Big Country 3690. Thanks, Alice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We had a major storm come through last week and the rear storage compartment got over an inch of water in it. We cleaned it out, ran fans for two days, locked it back. We just an afternoon shower and there is water in it again. Where could this be coming from? I can provide more details as...

We were at Camping World of Tampa the other day with some time to kill before the store opened. We wandered through a few rigs and I noticed that the Infinitys had very worn tires on them. Our rig has 6k miles on these tires and they're nowhere near as bald as the ones on these brand new...

Here's a random question for you. We have four slides. The kitchen slide is electronic. The other three are hydraulic. The bedroom slide goes out first, then the off door living room then the door side living room slide. When we bring them in, same thing. Bedroom first. We often want to put...

We're currently at a Walmart in south Ga. Tomorrow we finish the trek to Tampa. We'll be there until April. We saw two Bighorns traveling together down 75 today but they didn't have owner plaques. I'm starting to think we're the slowest RVers on the road. Had a dozen rigs pass us today. Saw...

We had our front door lock replaced this spring since the key broke off in the lock. This summer, I stepped outside to let Hunter go potty and the door locked behind me. Obviously, I could hide a key somewhere so this doesn't happen again, but I'm really interested in keyless entry. Any...

New mod in the works. I'm adding a desk to the washer/dryer closet. Loving it so far! Still deciding on height and then I need to stain it to match our woodwork. The chair is from ikea. i just tip and slide it out. this is by far my smallest office space ever, but i love it. and its entirely...

Our Progressive surge protector is making a really weird sound. Pretty sure it's broken. :( But at least the drive was nice and the park is level. Dog is settled in. No sign of the cats yet. :)

We've never camped with kids before and are planning our first outing with my inlays and their 3 munchkins this summer. Said munchkins are VERY active so my idea was to make more use of outdoor space than we normally do. We have the outdoor kitchen and TV in our rig, the 16 foot awning, outdoor...

We're planning a trip with our in laws and their kiddos this summer and are looking for big rig friendly parks in northern Georgia, north(west) south Carolina, west north Carolina, and eastern Tennessee. We'll have the kids ages 2-5 so trails, lake, pool etc would be preferred. But most...

Eric and I would like to spend next winter (our winter, not northern winter) in Florida and are looking for recommendations. We're planning to stay in one spot January thru end of March. Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

One of the sweet couples Eric and I had dinner with during the hurricane Monday night lost their camper today. A ceramic heater had an issue while they were down the road trying to check in with family. They said it was sitting in the middle of the room. The inside is melted with extreme smoke...

Have any of you ever gone through a hurricane in an RV? We're currently in New Jersey and trying to decide what we want to go. And if we stay, what we should do to prepare. I'm not thrilled with our spot. We are surrounded by trees. ~Alice

We're heading to New Jersey Friday from CT. Anyone have any thoughts or issues about taking 95 south rather than the 287 bypass? We figure taking 95 would be shorter and possibly quicker and would be a neat view of NYC but we're not sure about traffic and how Big Country friendly it is.

We're having a doozy of a storm tonight. I got up to make sure everything was dry and found the small window over the stovetop had a tray full of water. It was dribbling over the lip and onto the counter. I don't think it's leaking exactly, I just don't think these windows are water tight. The...

Who knew you had to go to Connecticut to feel an earthquake. Evidently the center was about 200 miles up the coast in Maine. I was standing in the tail end of the rig (normally the bounciest part in our unit) and I really felt it. Eric and I thought the dog was scratching at first because we can...

It seems the screen door is not perfectly straight. At the top right, there's a gap between the door and the frame around half an inch deep. This is big enough for large bugs to get through. I noticed a large stink bug crawling up the screen and a few minutes later, he was inside, walking up the...

We're looking for RV park recommendations for October/November in these four states. Only real requirements are full hookups and accommodating a 40' rig. Thanks!

We headed out to our next campsite today and checked all the tires before we left. We have one of those 'fancier' gages that was recommended by several folks. I'm pretty sure our truck has a tire pressure monitoring system so I was alarmed that we were 20 pounds under. We have an air...

On the off chance that someone else has had this issue, I thought I'd ask. The stopper in our vessel sink broke last night. When I say broke I mean something happened to it and it no longer stops the water from draining. One minute I had the sink filled. I pressed the stopper and it released...

Looking for a park somewhere between Buffalo & Syracuse, maybe a little south. Anyone have a recommendation? This would be for the month of September, so if you have event suggestions, we'd love to hear that as well. Thanks!

When putting out the slide today there was a bad scraping sound about halfway out. We stopped, brought it back in a little. Thought the rubber was messed up(poorly glued). I held it down and sent the slide out again. Same noise. Upon further inspection this piece of metal flashing is messed up...

How long is the outdoor shower hose supposed to be? Ours doesn't come out very far which leads me to believe it's stuck on something in the underbelly. Before I take everything out of the basement and undo that panel, I thought I'd check. Ours comes out just far enough to barely miss the...

We've has our unit for 3 weeks now and two days ago we noticed a peculiar smell coming from the bedroom AC. It smells like chalk. Not a bad smell, but sometimes thick, to the point it was almost hard to breath. Any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it? Er, the iPad won't let me...

We ordered our big country with the built in vacuum but I'm not terribly happy with the provided attachment. With two fuzzy cats and a golden retriever, our space needs defuzzing frequently. Have any of you upgraded your attachment? I feel like I need a rolling head attachment. My vacuum at...

We're spending the month in southern New Hampshire. If you make it to Nashua, send us a message and we'll get together. Eric's looking for any excuse to use his outdoor kitchen! If you have recommendations of what we should see/eat or visit next, please let us know. We'd like to see Vermont...

I just realized I left the fish tank plugged in in the bathroom. We're on a five hour trip today. Do I need to pull over at a rest stop and unplug it? I'm still not sure how the battery works with the outlets and such and don't want to drain the battery.

We parked at a rest stop today, next to a bus. Before the driver left, he tapped the tires with a hammer. What does that do?

We're heading to New Hampshire, leaving West Virginia. We'd like to do 250 miles or less from here but are looking for a nice place to stay for two nights. Suggestions? :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Location: Lazy A Campground, northeast West Virginia Weather: cool, partly cloudy, strong breeze Dog mood: blissful

We noticed a new sound today while driving. Sort of a creak/squeak sound coming from the bed of the truck. I thought perhaps it was the shocks or springs or something as they do groan a little bit when we hook the trailer up sometimes. But then Eric saw our outdoor rug flapping in the rear view...
