Hello Everyone, Thank you to everyone over the years who have helped and offered advice on the issues we have had on the Big Country. We have been offered a screaming trade value on a new Fifth Wheel of another brand. I know I will miss this forum and the great people on it. So, I will still be...

Are there any wires in the roof over the closet housing the main control panel? I want to drill a hole about 12 inches from the side of the trailer to route wires for my Wifi antenna power down between the walls that the control panel is mounted on. I have been in the wall so i know that is all...

Pulled the DC fuse panel, found the wires on the ground side of the number 9 fuse loose. the wires were loose on the long metal block where all the white wires connect. This is the fuse that has been blowing and causing the ceiling fan to not work. I am not sure of the relationship between the...

Awning quit extending all at once with no warning, went out about 12 inches then stopped, no blown fuse. Checked switch and it has 12v, went to wires on awning arm and applied 12 volts to motor, awning extended and retracted. Had DW hit switch to extend while checking with volt meter on wires...

I lost one leg of AC power but it returned by itself. pedestal power was good. Progressive surge protector showed no errors. I reset all the breakers, reset the pedestal nothing came back on, decided well I guess I'll have to wait for someone to come out tomorrow. While watching TV in the...

Bought one of those Camco 90 degree adapters to allow the power cord to hang straight down and this past week I couldn't get the yellow adapter plug to come loose from the trailer plug. Normally you turn the handle counter clockwise to insert and back again to disconnect. It appears that the...

Every time I connect or disconnect the RV from the pedestal the Mini circuit breaker pops. I always connect/disconnect with the breakers off. Would it help to change the factory manually resettable 20 amp with a manually resettable 30 amp. I have to check that little breaker constantly to make...

Does anyone else's AC do this? When set to Auto, the fan will change from High to Low speed for a few minutes. Then as temps in the trailer rise, the fan will cycle back to High. Then the whole process keeps repeating itself. When the fan is changing speed its like the AC momentarily shuts down...

Replaced the fuse and turned on ceiling fan and the fuse immediately blew. What relationship would the 12 volt circuit have to do with the ceiling fan? And, once the fuse blows and switch for ceiling fan is left on ceiling lights are dim. Turn off ceiling fan switch and everything works normal...

I know some of you have done this upgrade an now I am ready but I can't seem to find a common part number for the MORryde shackles to be used with the SRE4000 system. Amazon has a couple of different part numbers which is the correct one. The UO12-016 is shown with the SRE4000 but is listed for...

In the front bathroom of my 3950 FB whenever the shower runs water comes from underneath the shower tub and also gets the carpet in the bedroom wet right next to the wall opposite the shower. I removed the access panel while water was turned on and everything is dry in there but I can't see all...

I awoke this morning with an error code of SY CE - "Communications error at power up" on my Frigidaire. Searched the internet and it said to cycle power but this will clear the fault code. Well had to get the it working so I went outside and cycled power at the pedestal and noticed a previous...

Does anyone know if the water inlet valve can be changed without pulling the toilet. I get to change one when I get home from work tonight. Anyone have a guess why I get to change one??? Stupid me, 35 years of owning RVs and this is the first time I forgot to flush the toilet to get antifreeze...

The other day someone posted that they use their inverter as a backup for the refrigerator in case the AC power ever turns off. We left this weekend for a couple of days and I thought that I would turn on the inverter just in case the park lost power. I hit and held the switch and it wouldn't...

Is the sofa attached to the back wall of the RV? I want to put a piece of the silver solar bubble stuff along that back wall. I looked down behind the sofa and there appears to be a board running along the back wall attached to the back of the sofa. I ran my hand along the board but didn't feel...

I am having a metalized film put on all windows. I took the temperature at the glass yesterday at 6:00 pm. When the film is installed I will take another picture showing the temperature. Hopefully there will be a big temperature difference. If not I just wasted a lot of money!

Look what someone did to my trailer while it was in storage. Who ever did this didn't even report. Some people have no moral values. Waiting on Insurance adjuster to come and look at it. Park storage doesn't know if they are liable or not. There checking with corporate.

I had a outside rear tire go flat while towing this past Sunday. The TPMS never gave me a warning of a low tire. Is this normal? After I removed and replaced the tire with the spare and drove another 25 miles it gave me a warning to service the tire pressure system, kind of late though. I...

I have a leak in the pass through storage area that I cannot find. I've taken the walls down and the outside of the UDC is wet about 3 inches up and the entire floor is wet, all pipes are dry. I've ran every faucet, washing machine, and every drain is dry on the outside. I cannot find any leaks...

I am thinking about installing a Traveler Satellite dish on top of the Big Country. I took off the cover in the front bath ceiling expecting to see the coax coiled in there but there was nothing. Is this where the coax is supposed to be? Also, on the roof, how do you access the coax and run the...

I spotted two Big Country's yesterday while driving west through Fort Worth heating home after work. They were heading east on I-20. Caught myself wishing it was me.😊

Replaced the 1/2 bath toilet with the Dometic 320 and all I can say is what a great toilet. I know that sounds funny but those of you who have done this know exactly what I mean. Wish I would have done this long ago. DW now wants me to try and "make it fit" the upstairs bath.

My awning has shifted about 2 inches toward the front of the trailer in the awning tube and now the arms don't align. I have read several posts that say just yank the awning and it will move in the roller tube. I tried that and it won't budge. I didn't see anything holding it in place. What am I...

Stacked the dryer on the LG combo washer/dryer. LG does not make a stack kit for their combo unit nor do they recommend stacking anything on their washer. I used the Splendid stack kit. Everything installed well per Splendide instructions and I drove it home 250 miles with no problems. Now I...

I finally got tired of having to keep the cabinet door open where I keep my home theater equipment. It gets very hot inside the cabinet with the door closed so I installed this cooling fan in the bottom of the cabinet. I made a 4 inch hole and installed a screen over the outside. I mounted a...

I keep getting a surprise every time I open my waste water valve. Is it legal to let it gently drip while moving down the highway. I have heard others say they have install a cap with a water hose connection on and they leave that small cap off. I know I need to fix it but just waiting for a...

I adapted an adjustable width Reese Towpower 88001 class II receiver hitch to fit on the back. The hitch was too narrow as is. The 2 inch square side pieces that slide into a fixed center section are the adjustable portions that I extended to reach the brackets on the fifth wheel. I used a pair...

I have been thinking about how to plumb the drain pan in my front bath unit. Right now the washer is just sitting in the pan. I was wondering if I could drain it into the shower next to the washer/dryer closet using one of these and some PVC. What do you all think? I don't think it would look...

Added these frames around the Fantastic Fan and ceiling fan. What do you think?

I have a slight water leak, maybe a 4 inch round puddle, from the cut area of my coroplast (from a previous repair). It seems to leak right under the island, just at the axles, when I fill with fresh water. Everything is dry in the island. Can anyone tell me if the fresh water tank is in that...

I noticed the other day that the sticker above the input power plug on my BC says 240/120. Does that mean I inadvertently hooked 240 to the camper it wouldn't burn up everything. I know my other trailers that were 50 amp, hooking 240 was a big no no. I have no need for 240 but am curious if it...

Yup, went to extend the kitchen slide and heard the wife yell. Apparently the front roller, the little 4 inch white one, came loose and sheared the 4 tiny screws holding it in place. It rolled under the slide while extending, gouging the floor and ripping a 6 inch wide by 18 inch long tear in...

All right, I wasn’t going to say anything because I don’t like to bad mouth a dealership without giving them fair chance. I dropped of the Fifth wheel 4 weeks after purchasing to resolve some mostly minor issues with the exception of the kitchen slide not going in or out evenly. I dropped it...

What is this vent for? I noticed yesterday when I was working on the water pump, I can see through the vent to the inside of the RV. This vent is completely open to that area. I noticed a couple of times when the fantastic fan was running I could feel warm air being pulled through the vent. Now...

This happened last year and I trouble-shot the pump/Anderson valve. As noted here on this forum it was the backflow preventer in the water pump. I verified this by turning on the city water and tapping the head of the water pump and the water stop flowing out of the pump line going to the fresh...

What are some of the differences in the early 2015 3950FB models? I have a 2015 model that I purchased in May of 2014. I noticed from time to time while looking at other owner pictures that mine doesn't have some of the features others have. Like for example, the solid surface stove cover and a...

Does anyone know the distance between the brackets for the hitch that Heartland mounts on the back of the our units for mounting a bike rack and such? I m pretty sure they are all the same. My unit is at the dealer for repairs so I don't have access to it. I am adapting an adjustable width Reese...

My one month old 3950FB big slides pop when extending. Not all the time but once in awhile. Its like the gears are not aligning with the gears on the slide out. I know your not supposed to put anything other than a dry lubricant on the mechanism but would a little grease on the small drive gear...

Well, we have had our 2015 3950fb for about a month now. We absolutly love it, its everything we wanted in a fifthwheel. We have it into the dealer for a couple of minor things. The residential fridge...has anyone had issue with the door handle hitting the pantry? I know its minor but its still...
