    built-in black tank flush system question

    When you see the clear water coming out of the hose when you are dumping, you are very glad you purchased a Heartland product. It requires an extra step, hooking up the fresh water flush, but it confirms that the tank has been purged. Enjoy the experience (if that is possible)!

    Smart card The smart card in the receiver will only work with that receiver. They are married to one another is what the person at dish network told me. I added a new (e bay receiver/smart card) on to our house account for an additional $5 a month and put it permanently in our BH. All the...

    Where to go???

    Congratulations on the new rig. Just my suggestion, but I would go somewhere close to home on the first several trips. The closer the better. We had to go back and pick up stuff we forgot to take. State parks offer everything we like such as water, electric, sewer, some with pull thru's...

    Suburban Water Heater Door. What color?

    Could you advise if you painted the vent while attached to unit or if you took it off to paint. I know that it would be easier to paint while on the trailer but it would probably do a better job if taken off. Just wondering how hard it is to get it waterproofed again. Thanks

    Suburban Water Heater Door. What color?

    I have a new "Colonial white" outside stove vent that is brand new from a RV wholesale site and it is a cream color(not what we needed). I would think that the "polar white" would be more of a bright white. I have to order another one, "white" this time. Hope this helps.

    Portable Waste Water Tank (Storage)

    Me again. I've decided to build a cage for the waste water portable tank out of 4 inch welded wire fencing material as the weight is not very great, and secure it under the unit near the front basement compartment. Any ideas as far as securing the cage to the underbelly? Plumbers tape is one...

    Valve handles

    I had a problem several years ago when one of the grey water valves would not close. The dealer ask me to bring it in and the mechanic told me that the valve works like the old engine idle/speed cable on the older push type lawnmowers. The cable has to slide in a sleeve that should be attached...

    I check pressure before every move and put 80# cold. So far, so good.

    Fishing pole holders in Bighorn storage area

    I put mine up on top of the kitchen cabinets. They ride good and I don't think my DW even knows they are up there.

    Portable Waste Water Tank (Storage)

    I'm trying to find a solution for transporting my 35 gal portable waste water tank other than the back of the pickup bed. Has anyone mounted one of these things to the underside of the unit? I'm thinking about using plumbers tape and securing it near the spare tire. I'm sure there is a...

    Information needed to make an informed decision on the purchase of a good quality, dependable, high volume air compressor. With the details of tire failures being caused by under-inflation, I'm asking for your input as to what air compressor would fill my needs. 1. PSI of 120 lbs or...

    Landing gear on blocks....?

    As with above post, I'm very thankful for the above problems to NOT have happened to us YET! I rely on the DW to remove the chocks, on both sides, before I release any trailer breaks. I have a grim apprehension that I too may have bed rail damage in my future. Please send your good wishes...

    We will make more camps but keep our trips closer to home. We are really ready for the warmer weather.

    Musty smell

    Just a thought on your problem, we have a 2006 bighorn and it had a dripping leak at the connections going to the shower. There is a 7 inch plate on the rear of the shower just above the control valves, that screws on or, at least does on ours, that can be removed to check for the water...
