You can use a hack saw to get it off but I used a power cut off saw and my power sander to get it flat. You can run the good tire up on a board to get the jack under or lower the landing gear a little. With the rv on the truck I can still get it under. I did jack it up with that jack to lub the...

Got a new jack for the bighorn. Got it at Harbor Freight. The rv is 23 inches off the ground and the jack was 231/2 high. ended up cutting 1&1/2 off it and it is a easy fit now

Who makes the attic vent cap that was put on the 2007 Bighorn RV. The Heartland parts order item number is 10830. Thank You Jack Handy Club # 1117

I just went up and replaced the three 1 1/2 '' holding tank vent covers. I also have a 5"" dia. vent cover that has a bolt end that it is screwed on to. I got the 3 covers at camping world but they did not have the 5" one. Can anyone tell me where I can get one or can I get it from Heartland...

Cabinet door construction Oh yes, I had 9 of my doors open up and they was all the same size doors above the back side sofa and above the table on the slide out. Mine also had brad nails pinning the doors together. I think they use some glue but very little. My doors split apart in places where...

I had checked all my tires last year before I took off for the summer and all looked good. My tires was 1 1/2 years old with maybe 8000 miles on them. I took off and had one go out in north FL. Changed it and put my extra spare on the failed tire rim. The next day I was in NC and the second one...

Water Water I had the same thing going on in my Bighorn. I seen the water below under the shower. I removed the cover going the the water input to the shower and looked for leakes there but the water lines was dry. To make a long story short the leak was in the faucet where the flex line to the...

I put a shower curtain rod across the outside wall. You can get them a size that will fit small and large openings. It works good and you don’t have to put any holes in the walls.

I have a highorn that is about 1-1/2 years old now and the hose that drains the water out of the refrigerator is shot. It is so rotten that I will soon have to replace it. My old unit was 12 years old and never cracked apart like this one is. The hose on this unit is white and my old unit had a...

Randy try lowering the landing jacks down about 8 or 10 inches then pull the pins to drop the legs. I look at how the rig is sitting first. If it is low in front then I just drop the legs with out lowering the legs at all. It is just a guess as to how far you need to lower the legs if the unit...

I also had a leak in my shower. I finally found that the water was entering the top of the fixture and leaking into the underside of the RV. The water was going down the fixture into the hole the flex tube came out. There is no way the seal that was in there ever worked or would ever work so out...

Bedroom shelf I put a small shelf above the bed in my bighorn and didn’t have to use any screws in the wall. I used an oak board about 20 inches long and 71/2 wide. I put poly on it then added a flat plate about 10 inches long, 6 inches wide and 1/8 thick on the back edge of the board. I had to...

cable Same thing happened to me. The cable would not work but on one or two snow channels. I unhooked the cable outside and relocked it to the satellite connector and then hooked the TV to the satellite connector inside and all was OK then. What I found when I got home was the connector inside...

I have seen what can do the damage you see in the pictures. I had a camper tell me one time that he thought that he smelled something funny in his camper and asked me to help him try to find out what it was. I walked inside and it smelled like something burnt. I went right to the electric box...

Curtain tiedowns I have looked all over to and can not find anything that will work it place of the ones that have broken off. I guess maybe will have to make something up out of metal bent to shape

We have had a stain in the kitchen sink to after about a months use and I cleaned it good and put a coat fo 3M boat wax that I got from walmart on it and it lasts about 4 months. I guess the wax seals the sink so the stain don't stick so fast. I wish they would have put a ss sink in.

I add a 3 pound coffee can full of rock salt and about 5 gal of water to black tank and go down the road. That really cleans out that tank.

springs replaced I posted last week asking if anyone was having spring troubles and didn't get anyone having troubles. Now I see that retiredalaskan is having the same troubles I am having. The springs on the street side lost there arch and put the tires 2" apart . The other side was 3.5" apart...

That link should be //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php?t=2502 to many http in there

EZ Lube If you take the wheels off to hand pack you must replace the seal or take the chance the seal will leak. I use the EZ lube for the back bearing once a year for three years then hand pack the forth year.Doing this make sure you turn the wheel and only put in about three pumps. If the...

Towing behind 5er I forgot the link to the Sport Carrier II http://bigdiscountrv.com/motorcycle-carriers/sc2101.htm

This looks good to me and is a safer way to go that a 5er pulling a trailer with a bike on it. Sport Carrier II The 48" X 84" steel deck plate will carry two motorcycles, a golf cart or whatever else your trip calls for. Features a removable tire stop, and allows you to tow up to 5000 lbs...

Springs Has anyone had the Mor/ryde or leaf springs fail was the question Uncle Rog

Has anyone with Bighorns had any problems with there Mor/Ryde springs or there leaf springs. I was told by the Mor/Ryde rep that the leaf spring bushings are short lived and it is best to replace them with a wet bolt kit. Maybe there will be someone at rally that we could get a part number for...

State Park south of Myrtle Beach, SC The Myrtle Beach state park is a real good place to stay there to. The rates are the same all year long $25 last time we was there and that was a full service site. Lots of trees that any Rv will fit under. You can walk to the water. The other parks there is...

I see that the dealer I got my Bighorn from is selling more than a few Heartland units. I live in the Tampa bay area and have been in a camping club for about 20 years now. Now that I have a new RV I am classed as a SOB (some other brand) and that club will only let us go with them 3 times a...
