FJ's are going to be Pilot Stations soon. Denny's restaruant will be handling the food part. About service I do not know, but I have had less in a Pilot station then in a fj. (and that hasn't been much) This was based on talking with the mangaer at the FJ station on Hwy 59, in New Caney...

When I replaced our pump I took the time to move it. On the floor behine the basement wall. There was enough water line. It is now much easier to get to for servicing Bob

We were in an Oregon State park where high pressure destroy a good hose. Sometimes during the night and early morning hours the water pressure can change in some parks. Another park in La Grand, OR was around 100 lb. Some times the park people will tell you if it is high pressure system, but...

The other day there was a motor home a spots not far us, (Livingston, TX, Rainbow's end). Then the other day I noticed a brand new Chev 3500 truck in front of the motor home. Was he planning on using that as a toad? A couple of days later the motor home was gone, and it is place was a bran...

Tom Have been using Hensley Trailer Saver. Has auto air, two bags & slider. Have not use the slider, except to test. I did have a problem with some crushed wires when first used. The company took care of it and have not problems in over two years. We have towed a lot. I know it is...

another one, I just thought of, River walk RV park. Can be kind of damp. On the northern coast just south of Fortuna, CA Bob

Redding CA has a couple nice parks. One is Premier RV park. Close in and very nice. Trees help with some shade. JGW south of Redding about 5 or 6 miles. on the river and they have added more spaces. Bob

I found the card. Owens Detailing Services 832-563-7712 They did a good job and what seems to be a fair price.

you are too far from New Caney, Forest Retreat RV park. Give them a call 281 354 9888. there is a service that comes to the park and washes the RV ( I have misplaced their card) Their number is posted at the front desk and on a sign in front of the park.

p/s breathing deep sometimes will help clear your sinus. The smell of garlic is everywhere

RV parks We stay in Maple Leaf Rv on the other side of the freeway. Good test on getting the Big Horn in to parking spot. Just keep it slow and swing wide. never stayed at Uvas Pines, but looked it over and it looks nice. We plan to try Uvas Pines next time we are in Morgan Hill. Shadow...

bike cover Bob I found a BBQ cover at Wal-Mart. I works great. Helps keep the water off

Beardedone We understand how you feel. broken springs, broken landing legs and dealers, Lippert and Heartland not wanting any more to do with a 2+ years trailer May-be life in SOB with out Lippert under our feet might be in order for us Bob

more harassment 30 years of working the road. I was never good at harassment. I would often tell the complaining party that I would be more then willing to call one of the professional harasser. The office would always make sure there was a professional harasses on every shift.:angel:

springs, again My next project is the springs and hangers. Again. I turned, too sharp, some where, between California and Texas. (May-be) I bent the spring hangers. Springs leafs no longer line up. A large hammer might fix that. Question is how sharp of a turn is TOO sharp for the...

landing gear? I lose my cool at Ron Hoover parts, (still haven't had my money returned, $260) PPL order landing gear from Venture and the right leg arrived. I installed it and have tested it. Everything seem to be working as it should. getting the right parts was the hardest part and...

PA systems Using the PA on the patrol car, with something like "COPS, RUN" helps thin things out. Bob

bracks had mine break and found a replacement at Lowes. I did get that fixed. I had to fill the holes with small dowel first. I keep one for a spare, just in case. That ext. is just hanging there even when traveling. Bob

Lippert everwhere Our story is too long to post. Springs, and now landing gear. As we look at SOB's DW checks on who is the supplier is of what. Some make their own frame. then use Lippert stuff. Lippert is a nasty word around here. The landing gear on the Big Horn is still not fixed. I...

Breakers Under the red plastic caps are the resets. run your finger under the wire block area and you can feel the resets buttons. Probably can't see them. Just fell them. You will feel the one that is out. Push it in and things should work. We have ours trip off a few times. Bob

landing gear? I order a replacement for the non-power jack. It was shipped from Lippert. Pick it up at the dealer yesterday. It was all wrap up for shipping. Today I unwrapped the jack and found gravel had been put into the gears before it was wrap. and after it was grease. The top drive...

diesel KY---- I use a 08 3500 Dodge 4x4. We pull a 3400 Big Horn. A number of times across the USA and a number of times between Texas & Calif. The diesel can pull. There are a lot of steep grades in the Western States. A gas engine can be faster on getting way from the light, to run...

front landing With help from Gus and the diagram, was better to pin point the trouble. A whole new landing gear had to be ordered. Had some assistance from Vance (Parts Advisor) at Ron Hoover, Houston Bob

Jay Just got back from looking at a new Landmark.(Ron Hoover, Houston) There were 4 Hydraulic jacks, two as landing gear, two just behind the rear axle, and two electric jacks at the rear of the unit. That could be 6 jacks on the ground. and a auto level system. That should steady things...

landing gear? Think I will join the crowd. Broke the landing gear while in Calif. and had RV parks with long pull throughs for the trip back to Texas. Didn't have to unhook. Gus, thanks for LG parts diagram. My next step it to remove the landing gear, tube and all. Ron, I have taken...

12-1-09 A Sundance, east bound, on Hwy 46, through Wasco, Calif about noon. 12-2-09 A Big Horn and Landmark at Desert View RV park in Needles, Calif. The owner of the Big Horn said he is not a member of the Owners Form, but he did say he like seeing the same brand he has. I haven't talk...

We were east bound on Highway 58, near Mohave. A big boom shook the trailer and truck. "Oh No, Now what" Of course, we stopped and check things out, and realized it was a jet or something, breaking the sound barrier, from the near by air base. Bob

See Grins Jim I know this is hard to believe, but I made a mistake. See Grin's and Pan Pacific's, new place are about 2 or 3 miles apart. Both on the east side of the freeway and the two towns so close together, I can get things kind of mix up. Oh, thank goodness for wives. "Just watch...

While at the central California rally Jim Beletti said a New Heartland dealer was soon to be open in Morgan Hill, California, next to Camping World. Last week we stopped at Pan Pacific in French Camp. Was told they were getting ready to move to part of the stock to Morgan Hill. Today we notice...

11-13-09 spotted Big Horn south bound on 101 at 1100 hours. we were north bound with out our "little house". I wave, but across, what seem like 100 lanes of traffic, don't know if the driver saw us? Bob

chain Why didn't I think of that. I been using the old fashion tape measure

back in July Tredit tire sent me a new rim and said they would pay for the mounting and dismounting. I sent the old rim back and paper work as requested. I had kind of forgotten about the money feeling luckily I got the rim at no cost. today I got a check from Tredit tire for the tire...

Eureka Yellow jacket When unplugging the hose from the inlet vale, the vacuum didn't go off. I was able to turn the vacuum off at the circuit breaker. I disconnected the low voltage wire system and the vacuum still didn't go off. Has anybody had trouble like that? What was the repair? My...

Cracker Barrel Taz Devil We share the same thoughts about Cracker Barrels. When traveling we try to stop about 1400 hours for lunch. That way we miss the lunch group and it is too early to the dinner ones. The parking stalls marked BUS/RV are only about 50' long and I fine them too...

landing gear? Markanddrenita thought I would tell you how things worked out. The main shaft was bend at the set screw hole. That is why I was having trouble getting the gear box off. With the whole landing gear out and on the bench, (tailgate of truck) and a couple of short trips to the...

CA to OR I would use 101. in Calif. can stop along the way and make day trips to highway 1 and coast towns. Stay along the coast in OR. It is nice. Can take longer than normal. A lot of stopping to see things. took us almost 2 weeks to make the same trip Bob

front landing Well I have done really well. Went from working part time, after I fixed it, to not working at all. I think the next step is to pull the whole landing gear out and see what is going on. Can't do any worse? It is not working now. There is all something to do. Bob

bad I 80 Was on I 80 west bound a couple of week ago, from Reno. Pulled over in truck brake check area, rest areas were closed, to to give our bodies a rest from the shaking. No wonder things brake in the trailer. South bound 99 from Sacto. wasn't much better. Banning some televisions in...
