I get no response from Archie at Andersen Hitches via email and am left wondering if this benefit is still in place?

In my case the plastic 90 degree elbow fitting from my fresh water tank to the fresh water drain line had cracked. This was caused by the fresh water tank support straps rubbing against the fitting when underway. I suggest you fill your tank to the brim and then check for leaks after taking...

The fitting that broke connected the tank to the tank drain line. That line starts out as a flex hose and then transitions to a 1/2 pex down pipe to the drain valve. I have decided to replace the 90 degree elbow with a plastic pex adaptor 1/2 MPT to 1/2 pex barb because I'm also worried about...

Got the fitting off. Looks like 1/2" mpt to a 90 degree pex cinch elbow. Didn't know pex cinch clamps were used on flex tubing?

After filling my fresh water tank to sanitize I noticed water leaking from under my chloroplast and by the time I started dropping it to take a look the plastic elbow fitting between the fresh water tank and the gravity fresh water fill hose just split in two in the middle of the elbow. Tank...

I loved how this turned out. Cost about $140 on sale from online restaurants supply store. Things stay put. Solid as a rock with floor anchors. We typically unclip and remove the shelf edges after arriving at our destination.

I have been very happy with 2 of these AGM's. 200 ah combined and no off-gassing in front compartment. https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Power-Group-45978-Battery/dp/B0044Z8DJW/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1516161029&sr=1-1&keywords=Universal+Power+Group+45978+Sealed+Lead+Acid+Battery

Looks great!

Drove both these routes last April and had no problems. Plan out your refueling points ahead of time and use a trucker's guide or google maps/earth to preview the refueling stations. Torrey to Bryce has some very steep grades and I was glad I had installed disc brakes on the trailer prior to...

Once again Heartland goes the extra mile for me. I'm a customer for life. Details follow: Last August Heartland arranged to have Fife RV Center in Tacoma, WA perform the warranty TSB work on my two Dometic Blizzard A/Cs. I also had some minor repairs on my Norcold performed on the same...

Many good folks here answered my questions for this little project and I found various install posts with pictures helpful. Here's a quick view of my install. I went with a combo metal and flex line kit so I could still drop the chloroplast if needed for maintenance without always having to...

Do you think we will have to lower the tanks or just remove the chloroplast to get access to the sensors?

I'm going to want a full report as I too have 2/3 full tanks when empty :)

I have the same vintage and make. Part number is UO12-029. That came direct from Rob (Service Manager) at Morryde via email. Kurt

For $20 bucks and free shipping problem is solved. I ordered and installed 2 of these from eBay : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bussman-24-volt-DC-Circuit-Breaker-80-Amp-181080F-solar-power-battery-marine-RV-/272655333392? In addition to the LevelUp 50 amp breaker I was also tripping the 50 amp...

My order is being rushed: May 18 - June 29th....

Resolved. Posting this in case it helps others. The 50 amp auto reset circuit breaker wired after my battery positive terminal and before my battery shutoff switch was weak and would trip at around 45 amps. After temporarily bypassing this breaker, I put a clamp style amp meter around my...

So from your diagram it appears that your battery positive terminal connects directly to your cutoff switch which connects directly to your positive bus bar. All loads are "fused" as appropriate off the bus bar. Correct? If so I'm thinking I need to eliminate the 50 amp breaker between my...

Over the last few weeks I've noticed that my Level Up will trip an auto reset mini-circuit breaker.. as the power to the Level Up display comes back on after about 15 seconds. This has happened once in cool weather with shore power plugged in, but more often with no shore power plugged in. I...

Thanks for the suggestion on this drive. We will be driving our Bighorn from Moab to Bryce in two weeks and will follow your trail. Looks to be about 7 hours total. I already noticed that diesel fuel locations are few, but sufficient. Looking forward to it.

Yep, I had the BANG happen when I was lowering my trailer. I'll be more careful when raising it. - - - Updated - - - Did you install shackles with grease fittings or are you referring to the Ez-flex equalizer?

I did use the Level-up to get things aligned, but the trick using blocking would have saved me some time and hair on my head.

Same here. When swapping in disc brakes a couple months back on my 2016 3160E and I noticed that my front axle was rotated slightly so both calipers on one side were not lined up at 3 o'clock Looked up and saw the shackles were aligned differently on the two spring hangers and that was...

I just flipped the tire over on the carrier and now don't have a problem getting access to the valve stem from under the trailer.

Thanks Jerrod. I'm not going to be that lucky :( No convenient access from the bottom on my BH 3160E Other than better aesthetics do you think an exposed brake line mounted outside across the bottom of the trailer will be a problem? Is there something I should/could wrap the exposed line in...

Jerrod, Great work and very helpful! Any tricks to deciding exactly where to run the brake line through the frame to the opposite side? Did you have to drop the chloroplast to confirm clearances or add any brake line supports? Other than grommets on the frames it appears you went straight...

Go for it. I went with 2 AGM 100 ah batteries so I could avoid messing with water refilling and eliminate most venting and off-gassing in my front compartment. The modern converter/charger is fine for AGM's. Ideally it would have an AGM dedicated charging profile which would provide slightly...

Good move IMO. I installed those identical vents in early June on my Bighorn after noticing smells using the factory vents. I'm pleased with their performance and the quick and easy install was a plus for me. I used RV proflex sealant.

Just in case others have similar issue, the root problem was the left door retractable bar that is supposed to form a tight seal for the right door when closed. It does not always flip into place allowing an air leak and causing excessive condensation. I need to play with it to see how I might...

Same rig as mine. Congrats! I'm busy using my 5ver the next 6 weeks so I'm on standby for this project.

Jerrod, Curious, are you still exploring this as an option? If not may I ask why? Thanks, Kurt

I spoke with Norcold and they told me the rear drip tray is emptied via evaporation. No way. Mine is full to the brim and any movement in the trailer causes it to spill on the chipboard. I need to add a drain to that pan I suspect

That is the setup I was expecting. This is a new refer. The hose connecting the interior collector to the exterior pan is not long enough to provide a direct drain exit though the access door. - - - Updated - - - I have the little plug installed in the drain hose and it appears to be working...

Well I too am mystified as how the Norcold 2118 rear drain pan (exterior) is supposed to empty itself... My refer inside condensation collector backed up and I had several cups of water inside on the floor of the fridge. I pulled the drain hose out of the full rear drain pan and it the hose...

Is it your understanding that both the slides and the level up can be operated from the iPhone app? - - - Updated - - - Thanks Steve. I think your nailed the predicament we are in. I would be willing to live with the two slides (door and off door) operating on one valve for the advantage of...

Jerrod, I never followed through with my initial plans to add wireless control of slides/awnings/etc and I'm glad I waited -- this my RV technology is much more powerful. A couple questions: 1) Do any of the parts in your post allow for wireless control of the level up? 2) Have you...

Curious where you were able to find room to snake the wiring up to the junction box at the king pin? On my Bighorn 3160EL I used a 1/8" flat wire snake and it met resistance heading aft from the junction box under the front cap no matter what angle I tried... I was just poking around to...

Love it! Flex seal should send me a commission check :)
