Re: keyless entry After getting locked out in Oil City,LA on a Saturday and no answer from the dealer or the factory warranty folks for two weeks now, I'm not taking any more chances. Now that I've taken it apart and cleaned the grease from the contacts and put in another battery it works. To...

We just picked up our 3585RL last month in Elkhart. The larger brakes was a $750.00 option upgrade, but we went with stock axles and brakes. First stop was Mor Ryde and upgraded to 8k IS and Disc Brakes. Two days and $5700.00 later we were ready to head south. We got a great deal working...

Re: Shattered dual payne window? We picked up our Bighorn 2012 3585 RL on Jan. 18 in Elkhart, and on Jan. 29 our curb side slider window over the couch shattered with a loud bang and several minutes of splintering. We had been parked for two days. David from CS had to talk to their window...

Thanks DougS, I'll check it out. Your system sounds perfect for those lighter needs, and the Hondas will work well morning and everning when we catch the news on TV, brew coffee and run the microwave, or need the A/C. Thanks Again,

DougS, what brand and model Inverter are you running, and how many batteries feed it? I like my little Hondas! They sip very little fuel. I'm trying to size the number of batteries and come up with a good match in an inverter/charger that will provide a good boondock rig. Thanks,

I'll stay with lead weights, I don't want to chance screwing up my TTPMS sensors.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm pointed south now and I hear southern Texas calling my name. I'll find a shop along my way and have it done. Thanks,

I didn't realize Heartland didn't balance them. I don't know that Mor Ryde balance them either, although they did align them. Sounds like I have another stop to make before I get to Texas.

I'll try unplugging it, then plug it back in to see it will re-boot. More experience on my part won't hurt also. Cookie, not sure of our travel plans. We may be delayed here in MO a bit. We heard a loud band on the side of our new unit, then heard crackling noises. I raised the shade behind...

After two years of research my bride and I ordered a 3585RL and because of the multitude of issues regarding the suspension component failures from the frame to the tires we ordered it through Great Lakes, RV in Elkhart. We ordered it with the Mor Ryde pin box, and Goodyear G-614 tires. We...

I installed the two additional batteries we brought with us to Elkhart and it makes a big difference. The system still will not retract back to unhitched position by pushing both Right and Left buttons together. I've had good success by pushing the Retract button, then hold the Rear button...

I checked early on to make sure it was charging the battery. We didn't opt for for more than one battery and brought two new bigger ones from home. With no power after turning off our Honda, we pulled in the slides then tried retract the levelers. In the cold temps with only one battery I...

We ust picked up our new 3585RL and never tried the level up system until the winds grounded us in Rantoul, IL. Had to put them down to avoid getting seasick in the high winds on Monday. I had the same results when I tried to retract it, then the voltage read 9.3 volts. Since I hadn't hooked...

Seriously, I think you are going about it the right way. There are a lot of features that are so similar with the Big 3, it all comes down to your particular likes, dis-likes, taste, color choice and ride. Only you know your particular likes and dislikes, and only you know the intended use...

It's been a few years since I've been truck shopping. I checked with Chevy and GMC dealers and they both told me I couldn't get the new 3500's with a Cummins in it! I guess I'll stay with Dodge until GM get it right. Come on Cummins, one more stock split for Daddy!

We have Dish also, and several receivers. We got down to AZ and called Dish to get our locals changed to AZ. Didn't happen. Our home unit was still telling them we were home. Very frustrating. Now we will be packing the home receiver with us on long trips, so we can get the locals wherever...

Congratulations! We're envious, ours is still about a month away from being done. You are so right on how much help everyone on the forum has been when it comes time to actually pull the trigger. Sure makes you feel confident when making such a large purchase, that it's exactly what you want...

Up until the past few days when the north winds delveloped, the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys have had pretty dense and patchy fog, which is always a possibility during the winter months. Lately it has been burning off by 10:00 or 11:00 in the morning in most areas. Travel Safely

I've owned four Lance campers and still have my second Arctic Fox camper. Luckily I'll still have the A/F after we pick up the 3585 in January. There are way too many special places throughout the country that are not large enough for a 3585. For us it's great to be able to hook up to the...

By all means, keep it coming! We plan on picking up our 3585 in January and point south until we thaw. It will be our first trip through Texas, or much of the U.S. now that I think about it. We're taking lots of notes.

I almost went with the large drums on the Mor Ryde IS but I'm a long way from Elkhart and don't want to "have" to go back. I run exhaust brakes on all my trucks, which also all have disk brakes. I have warmed up some of my trailer drums and have had less pedal than desired more than once...

Thanks Ray. I've learned a lot from you, and several others. We've got the G rated wheels with G614's coming. According to my dealer the factory can upgrade the axles to 7.5K, 8K limit axles with 12.75 X 3.25 drum brakes. But I still end up with a leaf spring and shackle system, and stock...

These threads relating to suspensions, brakes and tires are all to common. We are making a long term investment and plan to put some serious miles on our new 3585RL. We're biting the bulllet now instead of later and decided to have MorRyde put their 8K IS and disc brakes on before we ever hook...

The Goodyear G614's are rated to 3,042 lb. load limit at 80 psi. This is their limit with E-rated wheels. If you are going to G rated wheels, then you can run up to 110 psi to get the full load carrying limit of 3,750 lb. load limit. We've decided to get the G-614's with 3750 lb. capable...

I believe you've made a good decision. I run three trucks, all dually's. When carrying a cab-over camper with 10K lb. trailer behind I've always considered it an additional insurance policy. The additional stability in winds, curvy mountain roads and when being passed by semi's is very...

You and several other discussion contributors have really helped me. We are having Mor-Ryde install the 8K IS system with disc brakes as soon as it is built. (Early January!) There are way too many threads that relate to inadequate suspension systems, brakes, dumped cabinets, opened drawers...

Thanks for all your replies. Now I realize we had better check out the colors in person before whey start building it. With snow on the ground it's going to be a long eight weeks before we get to pick it up. Can't wait!

We're pulling the trigger on a 3585RL and are confused on which which interior option results in a lighter leathertte tone on the couch and recliners, Lasso or Bronze? My DW also wants to know where in Elkhart we can stay in early January that will allow our pug. We're picking it up at...

Jim, were you able to order it that way throught your dealer or have to toss your previous setup?

After a year of comparing brands and researching we are planning on ordering our first FW. We agreed on the BH 3585RL. We are planning on continued extensive boondocking, returning to AK again as well as hitting both coasts in the sun belt during the winter. We've settled on adding most of the...

We are getting ready to order our 3585RL so we can head to warmer climes this winter. We intend to travel extensively throughout the US and Canada. Thanks to the helpful folks contributing to the many forums we have got our options lists pretty well firmed up. I've read so much on axles...

I know HL offers the Trail-Air hitch as an option on. We had planned on adding it when we order our 3585RL. Is the Mor-Ryde a better choice, and is it available instead of the Trail-Air from the factory? We are planning on installing the B&W hitch and companion so we can use the truck bed...

Thank you for the write-up. We have been looking at the 3585rl for some time now as the perfect 5th wheel. After many hours reading yours and other contributors on this site it's becoming very clear that we are on the right path. We have gleemed a tremendous amount of information from owners...
