That was kind of what I thought also, but because it would reset when we turned off the 120 volt heat element it was confusing. I don't figure this is going to heal itself, nothing else on this trailer has so far. We are back home and it is in storage, but I have 15 amp power. I will open up...

Nothing like asking for help then disappearing. My apologies. The light above the “12 Volt” switch has come on and best I can tell it is a warning that the 120 volt water heater has tripped. We don’t run the 12 volt propane part of the heater very often and it wasn’t on when the light came...

Thanks, I’ll see if I can turn down the thermostat. It doesn’t do it often but on this 30 day trip it has done it about 4 times. Didn’t have the propane on, just the 120 volt heater. Thanks again.

I have a 2016 Big Country 3650RL. The 120 volt water heater works but occasionally cause a small red light to come on and the heater obviously shuts off. I am not talking omg about the red “ON” light on the switch itself but one just above the switch. I have looked in the manual but find no...

I spoke with the nice folks at IRV and they suggested I buy a IRV 34. Of course they would. No suggestion on how to reset the DVD carriage or fix the issue. So...I bought a $49 Blue ray/DVD player from Amazon and simply connected the HDMI to the TV. As the sound bar works from the TV, I...

I had the same issue with one of my A/C units in a previous trailer. It would stop and then start again occasionally, then be fine at other times. It finally dawned on me to pull the thermostat off the wall and there I found a wire that was not captured when the connection was crimped. It was...

We have a 2016 Big Country with the iRV33 unit. It has been fine until this last trip and it will NOT take a disc. Tried turning it off and on, pushed "eject" multiple times, and still will not take a disc. It seems to me it thinks there is already a disc inside so it will not take another...

RoadJunkie, I inserted the foam rubber into the ducts as you described and it has improved the cooling a lot. The thermostat for the unit in the living room now is set about the same as the bedroom thermostat and the entire coach cools much more quickly. With the air leak down the wall, the LR...

Re: ATF: Big Country - Ducted AC has hole leaking cold air - Updateu I blocked off the open hole in the duct with some foam rubber on each side. We haven’t been in much over 85 degree heat but so far it is working WAY better than before. The “cold” wall is now the same temp as the rest of the...

Thanks Danemayer, the refrigerator runs exactly the same on propane as electric. The cap appears to be on the end of the drain hose also. I will check for air leaks again today, but because the refrigerator failed to go into emergency cooling when the thermistor was disconnected, I believe it...

Re: Norcold Model 2118 not cooling...ever We bought a 2016 Big Country new in Jan of 2017. We have had constant issues with the Norcold 2118 getting cold from day one. The door flap didn't seat correctly so our RV tech pulled out the refrigerator and found it to be 3/8" off level in the...

Okay, so I am glad it isn't just my Big Country, but I am sorry it is also you guys! Dang it, they (Heartland) are supposed to have those engineer types with the pocket protectors that figure out how to specify and design the AC systems. I think they need to come to TX, NM, or NV and do some...

Yes I paid Bout $20 for my scope and it is good enough for what I needed. They used to be out of sight priced.

Road Junkie, I may give that a try pending what Heartland says. Great idea, I had not thought of that; it would isolate the problem for now. Thanks!

Went up to storage and tried taking video down the AC duct. It isn't perfect, but I can see the size of hole someone chopped out for the vent pipe and bundle of wires. This area is directly above the wall where the Living Room AC thermostat is mounted, and just above the linen closet. My...

Hi sir, Have you ever noticed the wall with the living room thermostat feeling a lot cooler than the rest of the living room interior walls? That is how I figured out AC was getting dumped down into the basement plumbing area. I knew about the vents under the stairs and couldn't imagine an...

I was under the impression that Heartland reps checked this thread. I will go up to storage in the next couple of days and see if I can get clear video recording of the duct where it is broken out. I believe cold air is being allowed to escape into the roof void and also down that wall into...

I have a 2016 BC3650RL and the main AC has never cooled as well as the bedroom AC. I clean the return foam filters religiously but setting the thermostat on 72 results in the room being over 80 degrees. Yes, I live in Texas, but we had this same issue in NE, ND, SD, and MN while traveling...

We have the TST 507 system on our BC 3650RL, and it will occasionally drop the sensor on a tire while we are traveling. It does pick it back up eventually (10-15 minutes down the road), but purchased the range extender to boost the signal. Has anyone out there added this booster and where did...

I also moved the screw slightly and the old hole did not show. It did not pull out again so I figured the original installer with the drill/driver tightened the screw up and stripped the wood. If it pulls out again I would go with the suggested drywall anchors made for 1/8" thick material...

We had our 2016 Big Country 3650RL for about 6 months and took it to a local RV place to see why it was not cooling properly. In the Texas heat it wouldn't keep us below 85 degrees inside. When we went to pick it up the guy showed us the vent foam filter and said that they were all very dirty...

We bought a new 2016 Big Country 3650RL in 2017 and it has had some continuing issues that we have had to address during the manufacturer's 1 year warranty period. The A/C's didn't cool the unit properly and had to be serviced along with some duct reconstruction, the coax for the satellite...

See? I learn something helpful everyday. For Dish or DirectTV use. Got it, and thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. It is in the shop right now getting some warranty items taken care of so I can't go look. And it is 20 degrees outside also. However I have had the basement panel off and there is no splitter in that location; checked all connections for tight also. I have tested...

Seems a common theme: factory coax ends and splitters are not good quality. Thank you for the suggestion. I'll swap them out, they aren't expensive for a decent one, and pickup some new coax terminal ends while I am at it.

Good suggestion, I hadn't thought of replacing the connectors. When I go pick up the BC, I'll let you know if the splitter with amplifier worked. The coax run from the roof mount will be shorter, so that might work anyway, but sometimes I'll have to take it off the roof and set up on the...

We have had a Dish Tailgater for several years and used in in our SOB 35' travel trailer with no issues. Put it on the ground, connected the 50' coax to the trailer's exterior input and it found the satellites. We purchased a new 2016 Big Country 3650RL last January and have had nothing but...

After 3 years of traveling in SOB 35' trailer we had a pretty good "must have" and "would really like to have" list when we went shopping for our new FW. Some of the things you see in RV designs really makes you scratch your head and wonder if the designer has even seen the inside of a RV...

Converter is not working properly Returned from 5 days of camping and indeed the converter is not charging the batteries. The FW had been on the repair lot for a week or two and I am positive that the battery disconnect was not turned to "off" so I am going to have the batteries checked...

Ah! Thank you for the large diagram. The buss bar will be by the battery cutoff switch which is in the front lower compartment. Thank you.

Thanks. By the front compartment, you mean the one behind and below the pin box where a generator would be located? That would be too easy to get to, so it can't be there! LOL! I'll look when we go hook up shortly. Thank you again!

Thanks for the link. I had run across a mention of these circuit breakers last night when surfing for answers. Where would this little gem be mounted? Near the main breaker panel inside the BC or perhaps out around the converter? BTW - love the paint on your Landmark.

We were getting ready to go camping in the BC 3650RL and had turned on the refrigerator (Norcold 2118) the day before to pre-cool. We came in to an alarm and error codes "lo dc". which I find means the batteries are low. The FW is stored and connected to 15 amps of shore power, but apparently...

Finally got a photo of the hose and Anderson Valve (it isn't rotated correctly, sorry). When I attach the water line to the female connection it is very loose. I know when I attached a home garden hose to a spray nozzle it is not loose anymore, so I think this may be the issue. I could change...

Actually it is in a recessed bezel along with the water selector knob (City-Fill-Antifreeze, if I remember correctly). It has four screws holding the bezel in the UDC, but I would wager that the basement wall will have to be removed to disconnect the PEX before it can be replaced. Not looking...

Water leak on 3650RL Back from a nice weekend camping and believe I have discovered where the water has been leaking from. Or at least one leak anyway. I noticed after I connected the hose from city water to the female fitting in the utility compartment that the female fitting was still very...

I did a search on the internet and found Texas Barrel Supply in Fort Worth, and called them about a cleaned poly barrel. The man quoted me $35 for one. The internet says $25 + shipping. Probably get a better per/barrel price with multiple barrel purchase. I am going to get the "cleaned"...

Jeff was the person that answered the phone in the Customer Service department. Had to wait a little to get through, but he was very nice and said he would check with engineering to insure the drawings sent were correct. Good experience all around as they were in my email Inbox this morning.

Factory Schematics for Water/Waste systems in 3650RL Received these in email this morning from Heartland. Very nice people to deal with; Jeff Marner assisted me. - - - Updated - - - Yes, I removed the wall previously, but at that point I was still looking for a fresh water leak. I will be...

Spoke with Jeff Marner at Heartland yesterday and this morning had these two schematic drawings of the water systems for the 3650RL in my IN box. I am attaching them for anyone else that has the same unit and would like to know more about their system. We are camping this weekend and I will be...
