I have a black rubber rectangle that closes over the hole that the slide-out cable passes through, the rubber rectangle was suppose to be glued to the wall that the cable passes through to close the hole to the diameter of the cable. All 4 for each cable have come loose and move with the cable...

Just finished screwing the door's 4 corners, gluing the back and front edges of the front and back panel and used 3/4 inch brads to hold the panels down while the glue dried. The top inside frame board on the door broke loose on one corner and then the panels must have shook loose during...

We have a 2012 Bighorn we bought new and I have been fighting with the Eureka Yellow Jacket central vac for the last two years. The first problem was when it would shut off and kept on running, we used the circuit switch until I took the unit out and hit the magic spot and it worked correctly...

I wanted to post this so that anyone who had a problem keeping the lube plate on the hitch pin could benefit, I have a Hensley Hitch BD3 which uses a thin lube plate and the last time I was hitching up it wouldn't stay up and kept slipping during the hitching process and bend in half and was...

Our Island in the discontinued floor plan ( 3070RL) didn't have the sink in it instead it was positioned in the bathroom wall cabinet, I've learned living in the trailer for months on time when snowbirding that the island is a great workspace, with a sink it wouldn't be. Plus most plans don't...

The ceiling lights labeled Kitchen and Living room aren't working, they stopped back in January and then worked when I tried them a few weeks later, then stopped again. I pulled the 12 volt panel to see if I had a bad connection, loose wire, or a blown fuse but everything checked out, I put a...

My friend just replaced his new AC with a Atwood AC, the previous had only been on his Fw for one season and he had two circuit board failures so he went with a different brand. http://www.atwoodmobile.com/air-conditioners/rv-air-conditioners.asp I couldn't get over how quiet this Atwood AC...

I've having a battle with a mouse in our 2012 Bighorn 3070RL, the first year I foamed the holes around the pipes under the kitchen sink and bathroom vanity, this year I pulled the pipe covering on,the compartment overhead, pipes going to washer/dryer connections front of FW, and stuffed steel...

With a hard freeze coming tomorrow I had gotten the "Pink Stuff" at Walmart and was ready to go - went through all the prep and put the UDC hose in the bottle and no go, I could hear the pump running but the bottle stayed full. Not a happy camper. I proceeded to clean the plumping with air...

I'm looking for suggestions of a product to polish the aluminum wheels on my 2012 Bighorn, even though I wash them regularly they have gotten really lousy looking. The finish is spidered and sort of corroded and I'd like to clean them up and polish them up. I take care of our Bighorn and I...

Twice now the plastic hitch pin cover has caught on my tonneau cover rail. The cover cracked and a piece broke off on each side. I have the hitch positioned to give me about 7 inches above the rail but both times it was a tight turn and the cover hit. So today I got out in the driveway and...

I have a 2012 Bighorn 3070RL, I lost electricity at the 110 outlets in the (Kitchen/off door) slide. I opened the electrical box on the frame under the slide and found that water/sand/salt had gotten into the box through the openings that the wires came out of the box. When I opened the box on...

I need to get to the center of my bedroom slide to work on the slide gaskets which has come loose. BUT - the slideout awning is keeping me from getting to it. Is there a way that I can extend the slide and awning, then lock the awning in place so I can undo the slide awning from the channel to...

We have a problem with our refrig., when set to automatic we hear a clicking noise with happens at the same time the LP light coming on and going off. The refer is warming up so I've switched it to gas not knowing if that will help I've checked inside fuses but not the ones in the box on the...

I'm going nuts looking for very slow leak somewhere in the UDC area, I have changed about 8 of the pex clamps on the plastic non-plex tubing and eliminated two other leaks but I have one persistent one that puts about a cup or two of water during the night on the floor, it appears to mgh be...

I've had a spring on our screen door so it would close but it's never worked right and I've removed it, I know its probably my fault and that I might have installed it incorrectly. If you have a working return spring or something other that works I would greatly, my better half has difficulty...

I have a 2012 3070RL - interior slide out switch broke and had to be replaced. I obtained an exact replacement. It has the six spade connectors on the back. Problem is when it broke the motor on the pump kept running so I panicked and quickly pull wires off the switch and didn't pay any...

Following the door side of the front cap along the trim that's caulked I've developed a rust stain that follows the trim piece along the underside of the right side of the camp toe the hitch pin. Today (the last warm one for awhile or maybe the season) I'm going to remove the caulking and put...

I have two of the round Scare Lights on my 2012 Bighorn, the frames are rusting and have to be painted and the lenses have turned a dark yellow. I have been looking online for some replacements for the lenses or the whole fixture. Has anyone replaced the light lenses? If so where and what...

Lesson Learned - While in Florida this year we had the outside switch on our HW Heater quit on us, after checking everything but the switch I had a "Mobile Repair" come in, he found the switch right away and fixed it and warned me that the hard water/ loaded with calcium in Florida does a...

Hi - need a little help thinking through this problem - I have a 2012 (Built 4/2011) 3070RL Bighorn. I went to winterize it and switched the valves to Bypass (HW Heater) and Winterize (2nd Valve) and put the hose into the pink stuff - went inside and turned on the pump - pump ran but never shut...

Does anyone pull with a Bighorn/Big Country with a CC 2500 or 3500 GMC / Chevrolet Short bed? I'm wondering what type of adjustments you had to make to your pin box or hitch. We have a new GMC Sierra CC Short Box and will be pulling our Bighorn 3070RL, I have a Trailer Saver BD3 hitch. I...

I'm posting this info on every forum that I belong too because I feel it's very important and the clock is ticking. If you had a father, uncle, aunt, friend, neighbor who served in WWII and is still here or has passed I would highly encourage you to help get their name, service, and even a...

I have a 2012 Bighorn 3070RL, while snow birding in Florida I noticed a bulb seal on the Refer or off door slide had come off and when I checked it had come out of the track, so I removed the two end screws and slide it back in the track. While there I started to check the other seals and...

We lost our bathroom lights, vanity and recessed light, twice over the last month, the first time we used the bathroom by the bedroom recessed lights at night and woke up with the lights on in the morning, checked fuses, non-burned out, and pulled the switch everything looked OK. Yesterday it...

In November I noticed when checking the battery on our 2012 3070RL I noticed the water level was real low, I started to check it and mark down the dates and realized that something was on the fritz when I started adding water every 3-4 weeks. Fast Forward to 2-1/2 month snowbirding in Florida...

Our interior Hydraulic Slide Switch failed the night before we left for Florida, fortunately I was able to close the slides and open them when I got to Florida with the exterior switch near the pump. (Heartland Please don't ever eliminate that switch.) I found an exact replacement online and...

Thought this was the answer for the Towable RV Owners in selecting the right truck for our trailers. But no way, just 1/2 ton trucks. Wonder if it will ever happen. :mad...

I noticed a hydraulic fluid leak today in my front compartment, it's in the center and when I looked up I could see fluid dripping from the hose. I have a feeling that a bike handle ( I hang the frames in the front compartment) might have hit the hose and split it ( ? ) and that's where the...

If your looking for a vacuum other then the central vac that Heartland FW's come with check out the new Shark Rocket stick style vacuum, it is new and getting great reviews by purchasers. The only complaint is that it has to be emptied often. It's electric not battery operated and comes apart...

While working on the trailer last week the the slides kept stopping when I was trying to open them, I could hear the fuse click on after I waited a minute or two and then they would operate, When I hitched up the trailer yesterday the legs did the same thing. It appears that the 30 amp fuse on...

After two snowbird seasons in our Bighorn 3070 and burning my fingers every night when I try to turn off the reading lights and head to bed I decided that I needed to come up with a better way. I ordered 4 wall switches that are used for the recessed lights. I really like them they are big...

Well they are gone - hopefully the Goodyear G614's will offer more security then the Towmax, I did have 6K+ on the Towmax so I guess I was one of the lucky ones, I got them off before any of them blew up. So that makes me one of the lucky ones.

Looking at the Bighorn website it appears that the 3070RL floorplan will be one of the past plans. The site says that dealer stock is the only way you can get one. We have this plan and like others who have bought plans that have been retired we have really liked it, the kitchen area...

I have a 2012 Heartland Bighorn 3070RL and I'm going to switch from my Towmax Tires to Goodyear G614s or go over to 17.5 wheels and the GY116 tires. My concern besides the $$$ is if the 17.5 wheels/tires will fit the trailer without causing problems. Has anyone with this model or one similar...

We have been experiencing difficulty with our toilet, when filling with water it would open the valve and dump clear water in the tank which resulted in my having to empty the tank more often then I wanted, or it would stay open and not shut. I changed the black gasket a year ago but it didn't...

Our Bighorn 3070RL was manufactured in April 2011, this past fall I noticed that the top the the front cap was developing a haze and I washed it and waxed it as I had two other times with NuFinish Wax and it sort of looked better. While in Florida this snowbird season I noticed the Haze was now...
