    slider hitch, one more time

    BP- I have the short bed and have a manual slider (9"). I haven't had to use the slider and many with much more experienced have suggested that it is not needed. I spent the extra $200 because I felt it was a cheap price to pay for "peace of mind". I wouldn't spend the money for the...

    Hot Water Value

    I'm now confused--If the water heater is bypassed, I understand why I won't have hot water--but does that mean No water will running thru the hot water faucets. As in my case, I have NO water flowing thru the hot water side

    I think I understand what you are saying about the bypass. Is this the reason I have NO water running from the hot water side, not just no hot water?

    Hot Water Value

    We took our 3400 to a dealer for a determination of a minor leak. We picked up our unit and drove 50 miles and set up for the winter. Upon connected city water, we tested our faucet pressure. Cold ran OK, but no water on the hot side (kitchen, shower, bath). Do I need to fill the hot water...

    weight Distribution in Big Horn

    I know some of you have replaced furniture in the BigHorn (3400RL). I plan on doing likewise. My question, are the recliners "so heavy" because of a weight distribution issue in traveling? The same for the couch as a counter balance for the kitchen? While, new furniture will be heavy does...

    Hitching & Backing Hints

    Thanks As usual, you folks have responded with some helpful advice. I feel a little more at ease, the actual undertaking, I'm sure, will be the best experience. The hints about placing a marker on the TV and the trailer seem logical and sound for hitching. The location of hand placement is...

    Hitching & Backing Hints

    As a newbie, yet to pickup my 3400RL from the dealer, I'm feeling a little anxious about the hitching, unhitching, and backing into a spot.

    WHAT To DO?

    WHAT To DO?
