It works there - it just has to be inside any and all check valves. The pump is a cold water line and, at least on my unit, near the water heater. Allows any pressure build up to be easily absorbed by the expansion tank.

I installed mine next to the DC water pump, after the pump, on the RV side of the piping. Tank feed -> Pump -> Expansion Tank > Rest of RV piping.

It's amid ships just forward of the front axle. I may take the time to trace it out next time I have the belly open. I've got it all closed up now as we are about to head out soon.

It's a 2016, I'm the only order. I have the Furrion rear camera installed.

I don't have a landmark, but on my Big Country the front TV you have to remove a pin or screw from the bottom then lift the TV up and off the mount. Then you can access some screws to remove the back panel and access the cavity.

If you have a back flow preventer installed on your water line, it is probably due to water expansion and system pressure rising. If the problem goes away when the backflow preventer is removed, then you should add an expansion tank. I had the same issue and with the installation of the...

I found this brown connector hanging out in the under bay. Does anyone have any idea what it goes to? The other ends were never crimped, so the wires didn't pull out of them.

I found this connector on the front of my 2016 3800FL Big Country. What is the purpose of this connector? It looks like I could hook up a Solar Panel battery tender to it.

Thanks for the inputs. I had new hoses made at a local shop and replaced them all. I only want to go through this once.

Hello, I'm trying to hunt down the source of a hydraulic leak that. I'm seeing fluid accumulate on the outside of my hyd lines. I've wiped them down several times but the fluid keeps appearing. The rig has not moved/traveled, but I have adjusted the level from time to time. I am seeing...

We have the residential fridge in our rig, it came with an inverter that powers it while driving. Other than that, none of the 110 outlets work without a generator or shore power. If you had solar you could wire some to also work off the/an inverter. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

So the source of the water damage was the fridge drain line. The rat had chewed through it, so it was leaking onto the slide bottom. To remove the fridge, empty it and pull the front grate off the bottom. There are probably a few screws there, take those out. Then you can manhandled out...

Hey all, wanted to see if anyone else had experience with water damage under / in front of the refrigerator. We have a 2016 3800FL and we have had some damage in the kitchen floor (feel the bumps under the flooring) and the kitchen slide was usually wet when we brought it in/out. I've pulled...

Thanks, I sent them an email. I looked at the older posts and saw many people recommended BEST furniture, but when I went to look for them I could not find them (just 10 best RV furniture links...) Do most folks replace the slide out couches with notched/slide out specific couches or do they...

Our pull out beds in our 3800FL Big Country have suffered the same pleather fate as many others. Looking to replace them. As they are on the slides, the standard flat couches don't fit well. Any recommendations for 76" notched tri-folds? I contacted Lippert but they don't offer a...

Thanks, I'll give it a shot soon when the rain lets up.

I have a 2016 3800FL Big Country. The kitchen slide does not extend out flush, with the top sticking out about 2 inches from the wall. I watched the video on the LCI vertical Slide Adjustment procedure. I'd just like to get a sanity check on it before I crack loose the various nuts. I...

Thanks, that will work! Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

I'll give that a try. The problem occurs where there is no contact and I have to apply (gentle) force to have contact made. It was not the wires - checked and work fine with replacement switch. I thought it was the wire at first and replaced the connector but the problem persisted. Sent from...

Looking to replace a failed light switch. Local RV place could not find a replacement in their catalog. I did get a temp fix of the narrower switch. Anyone have a good source on the big switch? Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Culprit appears to be a bad circuit breaker from the converter to recharge the batteries. Checked the voltages and it came out to be 14 volts on the left side of the circuit breaker, and 12v on the right. A few days later the batteries were up to 14v and read the same voltage on either side...

I have a 2016 Big Country and we are currently on a road trip and found a few days ago that the main nuts on the battery box had come loose, resulting in poor performance and eventual dead batteries (as demonstrated by jacks not moving etc.). I replaced the batteries today and the 12v systems...

Well, I found the problem. There was a rat (now deceased) that was running amuck and nibbled on the wiring. The rat severed the Hydraulic control panel wires as well as a phone cord (which I think goes to the inverter?) After making a repair using some push connectors, I got some weird...

Dane, Thanks. I think the 20A blade fuse is the fuse referenced in the diagram. It is attached to the hot bus/battery side of the circuit breakers. There was potential at the pump, and continuity at the circuit breaker. Tomorrow I'll drop the box in the forward cargo compartment where the...

Hello, I've been having a problem with the level up jacks and hope someone has a solution / next step. I left for a 7 month deployment, came back and went to adjust the RV (Big Country 3800 FL)which had settled a bit in the sand. When I went to move the hydraulics, I seem to recall there was...

Thanks, I'll take a look at that.

I have a 2016 Big Country 3800 FL. A while back I replaced the bedroom reading lamps with LED versions. A while after, one of them failed, then the other. The bulb was still good (swapped while the other outlet was still working). I took it to a dealer for some other repairs and had them look...

How do you pull out the refrigerator to access the back? We have a Big Country 2016 and the Frigidaire has stopped cooling. The control panel is degraded and the tech was unable to read the error codes. We couldn't figure out how to pull it out from the slide to look at the back and check for a...

We had a minor encounter of the tree kind and need to get some repairs done. Looking for recommendations for the Jacksonville, FL area. Thank you

Well, Heartland bothered to run the standard brown wire in the wall. I would suspect that the AC and furnace use the standard wiring. The Furnace manual indicates where the yellow control wire goes. I haven't had time to climb up on the roof and check out the A/C. I need to call Dometic and find...

I have a 2016 Big Country 3800FL. I am looking to do an upgrade to a Honeywell 7 day thermostat from the Dometic thermostats. I found the brown wire as mentioned above on one of the thermostats (not the second; Thermostat 1 controls Front AC & furnace; Thermostat 2 controls rear AC only). The...

Re: No Hot water - Big country 2016 Problem solved. Replaced the circuit board assembly and it came right up.

Re: No Hot water - Big country 2016 So it's not the Thermal cut off. Removed it entirely from the circuit and tested - same symptoms, gas flows no spark; won't stay lit. Next step is the circuit board, but it looks like the earliest Amazon can have one shipped is next week...

Re: No Hot water - Big country 2016 I was thinking it might be the thermal cut off as well. here is a manual, might be worth adding to the repository: http://askforatwood.com/manuals/waterheaters/MPD%2093050%20PS%204.9.09.pdf

Re: No Hot water - Big country 2016 Bypass valve is in 'Normal'. I think I found the DC breakers. They appear to be black boxes underneath 2 copper bus bars. Nothing I could see indicating a pop or abnormal condition. Battery switches are on. Atwood 'Manual' -...

Re: No Hot water - Big country 2016 Where are the DC breakers? I was unable to locate them earlier. All other lights and things work - furnace, fridge etc.

Re: No Hot water - Big country 2016 No, main DC power is not off (as far as I know). Things have worked on the inverter in the past. Currently the rig is on shore power, and has remained plugged in (clock on microwave still set). - - - Updated - - - On a side note, I don't have the manual...

I have a big country 2016 that I've been (mostly) full timing in. Last Friday I left and everything was fine, with the water heater on with 110v, gas off. Had been working fine all week. I came back Monday night and there was no hot water. The gas side/12v didn't seem to work. Further testing I...

Thanks, but unless something is off, they aren't the same. That page lists the options as Caneva or Maduro, not Belmont, Newport, or Vienna.

Hi, I am ready to order a 3800FL. However, I have been unable to get/find images of the decor options available. I understand there to be three options: 1) Belmont 2) Newport...
