Hello I hope my saga will end soon. I just got a call from dealer and they said dexter is paying for everything. I have not picked up my trailer yet as it is fair time in calistoga and as a fair director I'm a little busy. Will tow it home next saturday the 9th and will see how a heartland...

I recently took my unit to dealer and all four brake assemblies where covered with grease. They had to replace all four backing plates assemblies and one drum and shoe had come apart. I am also a senior master ford tech. grease is thinner now than years ago. The grease on mine looks just like...

Does anybody have instructions for the bedroom thermostat. If it comes on I feel lucky and have no idea how to control it. I love the outside temp sensor. I will change it if i can't figure out how it should work.

Thanks Irvin 56 for you post as that is the best I've seen electric brakes explained in a long time. As a Ford Master tech I know that the factory controller will lock up brakes when just rolling it only takes maybe 3-6 feet of rolling to fully apply the presure on the shoes. Just so you all...

I Agree but they are telling me that the frame is still lippert and comes with dexter axles. I can't believe that is true as I'm sure heartland is putting the axles on not Lippert. Did the dealer make you pay for any of the brake repairs within the first year and if so how much. thanks for the...

I can tell you that it may take a few feet of rolling to apply the leverage to the magnet to apply pressure on brakes but if manually applied they should keep trailer from rolling very far. As a Ford tech I have had to replace several factory installed brake controllers. however some times you...

I am well aware of how electric brakes work and even after driveiing the traile over 100 feet they would not hold well enough to allow my slider hitch to slide into the manouver mode. I always have wheels chooked when hitching. how would one use the elctric brakes on the trailer you are hooking...

Thanks for the input I will push the issue with the dealer and have them install a dedicated circuit for the fireplace.

I have dexter axles. I have read the artical from trailer life about changing them to disc brakes. I will see how the new electric brakes work before i decide if I'm going to put disc brakes on mine. I would have done the work myself as I am certainly qualified but it is under warranty and I...

We received our 3585rl in november after special ordering the unit. To our suprise the fireplace was not installed at this factory. Apparently there was a mistake when ordering and they missed the option. The dealer made it right and installed a fireplace and it turned out very nice looks great...

We received our bighorn 3585rl special ordered in november of 2010. From the start the brakes did not feel nearly as good as our previous ob trailer. After only 4 trips totaling maybe 1000 miles total the brakes would not hold well enough to slide the hitch. Obviously there was a problem with...

Re: 2012 Big Horn 3585 we took delivery of our 3585rl and have had it out 3 times since christmas. Did not get cord reel wish i had as 50 amp cord is heavy and akward to store when cold. upgrade to goodyear tires as it is a non listed option and well worth the money. i believe it was 495.00. if...

I have several comments reguarding some peoples comments on this thread. first a single rear wheel one ton will be very close to rear axle gvw I have a f-350 01 with a rear axle weight rating of 6830 as this is the max for the rear tires at max inflation. we weighed truck trailer and rear axle...

our 2011 3585rl thermostats are exactly like yours and the single temp sensor is for fantastic fan and does take longer than you would think to shut cover and turn off. the heat and ac thermostat is not listed any where for info. If any body has info on second ac control in bedroom has numerous...
