    AC in 2012 Big Country (Living room) has no power to thermostat.

    Thermostat is completely dead. No power to it. I've checked the breakers/fuses and they all show to be good. Wondering if there is a fuse/breaker on the roof? Also, could someone tell me what is the voltage to the thermostat.

    I remember reading on this forum about the 'fix' for the warm refrigerator in the Big Country 3690SL, and the 'fix' for this problem was to mount a fan in the back of the refrigerator. I'd like to look at that answer/explanation again. Does anyone remember this or know where I might find it...

    Residential Dishwasher "Perfect for Big Country 3960 SL" (rear kitchen)

    Seems to me (just thinking not actually seriously plotting yet) that the Big Country 3690 SL (rear kitchen) is the perfect 5th wheel to add a residential dishwasher. 1st - The dishwasher would not be in a slide. 2nd - You would have easy access to the back of the dishwasher by opening the...

    New Big Country Owners 3690SL

    We finally traded our old 5th Wheel in for a 2012 Big Country 3690SL and couldn't be happier. Our only issue with it (so far - fingers crossed) is the metal handles on the glass shower doors - they have both popped off but we are going to glue them back with Epoxy 330 which we've been told will...
