We have a 2 year old 2014 Bighorn 3570RS. When we set up this trip, upon removing the cap for the sewer hose I filled a 3 gallon paint bucket with gray water. The valve handle feels like it is working correctly. I asked my wife to fill both sinks and then pull the plugs at the same time. I...

I have my 2014 Bighorn 3570 RS at the dealer getting it's furnace repaired for the 3rd time in 11 mo. Additionally because it has over 11,000 miles on it, I asked them to repack the wheel bearings. Got a call today telling me that a shock absorber is broken and the cost to repair would be...

My fan motor is acting up. Runs fine and then slows way down. Cleaned the fan blades, checked the voltage it the connection to the motor. I suspect the motor is beginning to fail. I hate to have to replace the entire roof vent in order to replace the fan. Does anyone know how and where to...

We have a 2014 3570RS. On the electrical panel there is a switch named, "awning recpt". Can anyone tell me what this is for? I am sure I was told on delivery tour but we have been our for almost 5 mo. now and I have yet to discover what it is for. Now that we are using our 5er a lot, we are...

My Sony receiver in our 2014 3570RS has very poor radio reception. The inexpensive unit in the storage are runs circles around it. My unit has a little single wire running out of the antenna plug in. I am thinking about having an antenna mounted on the side of the slide. Has anyone done this, or...

Is there a list of Heartland Dealers by state or .............? We are on a 8 month trip in our BH 3570RS and have several occasions to need some assistance and it sure would be handy if we can fined one.

Can anyone give me advise on how to touch up the little rust spots on the steps and frame? I want to keep these parts looking good as well as stay ahead of the rust. I am hoping to be able to do it myself while on the road and inexpensively.

Today our 120 volt power just quit. We are in a very small town for an extended stay and no RV repair shop around. It was today, Saturday when this happened. We hired an electrician to help us solve the issue. It turned out to be a dead short at the connection to our power cable reel. Three of...

We have a 2014 3570RS Bighorn. This unit has 2 outside power lets that are tied to the GFI in the bathroom. No matter what I plug into either of these (including a basic polarity tester) they trip the GFI. Nothing is damp around them, in fact they are both bone dry. I have other outlets on the...

We have now been in our BH this time for 6 1/2 weeks. This is the beginning of a 6 - 8 mo. trip. Previous trips were shake downs and for the most part all went well. The only issues we have had so far is our vacuum system went out. (yes we did all the tests and HL is going to replace it) and we...

Can anyone explain to me what the purpose of the brackets attached to the far real of the frame are for? I have a 6 point leveling system so I had guessed they are for drop down stabilizers. Since then I have seen units with these and they are mounted in front of these brackets.

I have a 2014 Bighorn 3570RS. The latch for the right hand closet door is screwed into approx. 1/8th inch panel. On the first trip it pulled out. I used a hole saw from the washer/crier closet to install a backing plate made of wood. I covered it with a blank electrical plate.

My wife and I have been talking about what to do if we get caught in really cold weather when heading to a warm area. Can we tow our 5th wheel with the furnace and hot water heater on?

We have a 2014 Bighorn 3570RS. We are on the road for 6 to 8 months. Our vacuum system quit working (tried all the basics to fix) as well as some other minor issues. Called Heartland and got the name of the closest dealer to us to inquire about looking at the unit. That dealer told the soonest...

We are on the 3rd week of a 6 to 8 month outing in our Bighorn 3570RS. Things have going good until my wife tells me there is water all over the floor in the bathroom. We cleaned it up and discovered it had come under the bottom rail of the shower doors. Being on the road, along way from home...

When I use the switch on the front of the coach to raise or lower my landing gear, I can hear the pump working but nothing happens until, I believe the circuit breaker trips shortly. I have a 6 point leveling system and can operate the landing gear with it with no issues. We are getting ready to...

It is very difficult to use the faucet in our unit as the water flows into the sink approx. 1/2" from the edge of the sink. The RV style faucet is much shorter than a residential type. I have talked with Heartland and they are willing to make a new countertop but I really do not think that will...

We have a 2014 Bighorn 3570RS. On the front of the unit where the front body panel is attached (this part has the door for the storage compartment where a generator can go) the daylight shines brightly. The first time we towed in the rain, quite a bit of water got in the compartment. Should it...

About a month ago my wife and I traded our Heartland Road Warrior in on a 2014 Big Horn 3570RS. We took it on a 2 day trip to the dealers campground to make sure all was well and that we understood most things. Then we were off on a 19 day shake down trip. Nothing much over 100 miles from home...

Friday we are taking delivery of our 2014 Bighorn BH3570RS! We are getting so excited. We traded out Heartland Road Warrior in and sold our Harley.

Our Road Warrior is our first 5th wheel so I am ignorant about a number of things. We bought this unit last July. Shortly before we purchased our Silverado truck. The truck now has about 14,000 miles on it and it has towed the trailer a little over 10,000 of those miles. Presently I am noticing...

When traveling, where can I find secure internet sites to do my banking? I do not have a smart phone and do not plan to get one anytime soon. Terry

I see a note attached to the bedroom ceiling vent of my 2013 Rad Warrior 305 that there is a connection for an air conditioner there. I realize that RV air conditioners will only cool so much but our bedroom does not get very cool. Would it be practical to add a 2nd unit to our RW? Is there...

The toilet in our 305 belches. When flushing a very large bubble (about the size of a baseball) is visible and then a foul odor. We have had the unit to the dealership about this. they say the vent is not blocked. The vent pipe is the correct length in the tank. We do use the correct amount of...

I have a 2013 RW 305. Apparently the base of the vanity cabinet got wet and the paper board material is swelling up. I once had a cabinet shop so I have an idea how these go together. Anyway my unit has been at the dealer now for over 2 1/2 weeks. I inquired why it is taking to long to repair...

I have a 2013 RW 305 purchased in July of 2012. So far we have over 9000 miles on it have spent 16 weeks in it. We are overall very happy with our coach. When we first took possesion of it we noticed that the floor in the bathroom and the shower floor had a lot of spring. Took it to the dealer...

I am wonding if anyone here has the blck ebony woodwork. I am having a lot of problem with the wood trim's paper finish peeling off in sheets. Just bumping it with a vaccuum hose or a broom will cause it to come off. I was told to us a black felt marker the color the missing trim. I am...

I have a 2013 Road Warrior 305 with a Thetford Aqua Magic Style Plus toilet. A couple of days ago I dumped the black tank. We are in a park for a few day currently. Today I noticed the toilet produced a large bubble when first flushed. I can see down into the tank and it is basicly empty. Any...

I was reading a closed forum about towning the 30C and folks feeling a 3/4 T is not adequate. I find this interesting, I do not claim to be an expert by any means as my 2013 RW 305 is my 1st 5th wheel. So far I have pulled it a bit over 7,500 miles through 13 states. We are only about 700 lb...

I was looking underneath the sink in the main cabinet. There is a small storage area. I am thinking about taking that flimsy divider out and building a floor to extent the cabinet and considerably increase storage room. Has anyone done this? I am looking for suggestions and pointers Terry

I have 2013 RW 305. We have put about 7,000 miles on it so far and for the most part things have gone good. Reading the posts here is causing me some concern. Apparently the RW is Heartlands el cheapo unit. This is hardly what my dealer had told me. You'd think by now at 63 years I would learn...

When fill the fresh water tank do I need to be overly concerned about rupturing it if it get too full? If so can anyone off suggestions how to fill it full safely? Thanks Terry

I own a 2013 Heartland Road Warrior. When I bought it I was told it has a 20 gallon hot water heater. the brochure say the same. I just looked at the specs on this site and it also agrees. My question is this: Why does the tag on the unit say it is 10 gallons?

My wife and I are on a trip from our home in western Oregon and are now in Nebraska. On the way here, we stopped in a Wal-Mart parking lot for the night. The switch for the landing gear was totally inoperative. Consequently we could not lower the landing gear. We have a 2013 Road Warrior 305...

I have a brand new 2013 Road Warrior that is on it's maiden voyage. The water pump was making a terrible racket. After locating the pump, discovered water dripping on top of it from a leaking drain pipe at the bathroom sink. The attachment area was very wet. I lifted the pump off the deck! The...
