Example it takes 2-3 times to turn on, my left/right when pushed wont bring my unit back to hookup height and so on. How do I know which panel to order to replace my current one? Can I upgrade when replacing...

    5th wheel spec lies. Need the truth...

    I use a water meter but I didn’t think you could flush the grey water with the tank flush connection. Is that not just for the black? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    5th wheel spec lies. Need the truth...

    That’s great information. I did use a water counter as I wanted to know how fast 10 Gal of water fills incase I don’t have the meter and the water came out of the over flow at 52 so I assume it’s 50. I am level. On the hot water tank the model is a 10gal so that much I know. I will call...

    5th wheel spec lies. Need the truth...

    I have 2 for grey (Tank1, Tank2) and 1 for Black, the reason why I’m curious is that I emptied both tanks last night and then added some water to Tank2. When I pulled tank1 water drained out so I thought maybe they put in 2 valves for 1 90gal tank but that’s a good idea I’ll call Heartland...

    I’m assuming my check valve is not working because when I disconnect my city water hose after I have filled the tank and I switch the Anderson valve to boon-docking position and turn the pump on the water spews our the inlet and pump will not stop. It this a faulty check valve. Also when I use...

    5th wheel spec lies. Need the truth...

    Ok. I now have some knowledge about my rig. My 5th wheel is a Big Country 3070RE. All the spec I find say tank sizes are 75gal Fresh, 90 Gal total for gray, 45 Gal black. I found out that mine filled to 50 Gal and started the overflow. My HWT is to be a 20 Gal and it’s 10. Is there a place to go...

    Need to add a Receiver Hitch for a Cargo Carrier

    I hear you. I was told that it’s like a earth quake in the rear when traveling and can see a single receiver rocking and rolling. I can’t seem to find a dual receiver and a carrier though. I just want to move my electrical and sewer and a few thing out of the belly to free up some room so it...

    Need to add a Receiver Hitch for a Cargo Carrier

    I have a Big Country 3070RE 2014 with no bumper. Does anyone know if under the belly on the frame if there are factory bolt holes or something to attach a receiver hitch? I know Curt makes a adjustable one so I have options but am going to take the belly cover partially off to take a look. Has...

    Black tank flush leak

    I use a clear sewer connector so I can watch to see if it coming clear and the water does rush out when rinsing so I assume the tank is being flushed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gravity Fed Gasoline Tank

    I use a Titan Tank. It’s fantastic. It has a pump and automatically feeds with a push of a button dumps 5 Gal of fuel into my main tank. It’s puncture proof and low enough for my tonneau cover to close. It’s 40 Gal and extends my trip by aprox 400 miles. Hope this helps. We are in Canada so we...

    Black tank flush leak

    Not sure if my problem is similar but when I hook up my hose to the black tank flush it flushes ok but when I remove the hose I get water gushing back out the inlet untill the back pressure is gone from the flush. It soaks everything in my wet bay. Lol guess that why they call it a wet bay. Is...

    Well I replaced my hydraulic fluid today and what a pain. I bought a hand pump and was really difficult to get the curled plastic hose to sit on the bottom. Why who ever made this fluid reservoir didn’t install a drain tap or plug on the bottom. Has anyone drilled and installed one as the...

    Cutting dryer vent hole question.

    Well I have 2 vent holes in a area where there could be a Generator but I don’t plan on getting one. At least take the time to place a proper sticker for the location of the drill hole. Have seen posts where the sticker was on a interior wall to the shower. Obviously quality controls dropped the...

    Cutting dryer vent hole question.

    It would be nice if the factory pre-drill that hole and put a weather sealed plug during manufacturing so the purchaser doesn’t have to drill the hole. Just a suggestion Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    But he smell is not in the kitchen when the hot water is run. I cleaned my hot water tank with the wand for 20 min and filled it with 30% vinegar/water mix and let sit overnight. Also started pump and drew some thru the taps. Smell went away for 50 days and now it’s back. Could it be the p-trap...
