Our current job doesn't have the septic tank installed, yet. So I will have to have the tank(s) pumped out via a honey wagon. The specs say the black tank is 80 gallons. Is that 60 for the main and 20 for the half bath? I need this info before they come out. Thanks, Cindy Jones in the...

We use the garage for an office, extra sleeping and storage. When I found this bunk/loft stair unit with storage I was sold. It is very sturdy (500 lb wt limit) and easy to access the loft bed.

Has anyone purchased the center griddle for the Furrion gas cooktop? I understand it is sold separately but I have not had any luck locating one. Thanks

Our 2012 Bighorn 3685 has an Amana stove. The flash tubes have rusted and broken off. I ordered a new set of three by entering the Amana model number. Unfortunately, they were not the right part. The original tubes have slots cut into the one end to secure them to the Piezo ignitor. A call...

2012 3685 unit, 42" Sharp TV on cable or satellite has issues with sound. If it's a "regular" station the sound is fine. When I switch to an HD channel, the sound is very low even set at max volume. Is there a solution other than the surround sound? thanks

We were fortunate to land a job in beautiful Fredericksburg, Tx. The job may take a couple months. We're staying at the Oakwood RV Resort near the airport. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood. Cold refreshments served after six!

Saw this at John Deere and bought a box to try in our cab tractors. Has anyone tried this in the RV? Fresh Cab (www.earth-kind.com) Four pouches per box, lasts about 4 weeks. $13 Smells good as it contains Balsam Fir Oil. The scent is suppose to repel rodents even though it smells good to...

Setting up at a new job site and wanted to use the antenna for the first night. Unfortunately, the antenna did not work. In the past, we have used it with no problems. The red light is on at the booster. (Jack antenna has a light but shows no power) Can that be correct? An electrician wired...

(this post concerns electrical ground wires not attached to the frame.) I have come to the conclusion that our 2012 Bighorn 3685 had no quality control inspection at the factory- zero. What's going on at Heartland? Another water line came loose and flooded the basement. This is the second...

We're tired of working and decided we need a break. Sooo, we are thinking of going to the coast of Texas. (Yikes! it's summer, it's hot and hurricane season!!) DH wants to kick back in a smaller/quaint park near or on the coast, maybe between Corpus and Port Lavaca. Good restaurants/cold...

After much research, I decided to install the Allure resilient vinyl plank flooring in the kitchen and living area. It's much thinner and quieter than laminate. Hope it holds up!

Can someone tell me how to get the sound to work when playing a DVD? Video is fine, just no sound on TV or surround. Cindy

I bought a sound bar for our tv. We have a Sharp Aquos 42" that comes out of the bottom cabinet and is very close to the window. The sound bar has audio cables (red and white) no problem connecting the sound bar. I can't find where to connect these to the tv. Using a mirror and flashlight...

Sorry to report, our electric awning was torn off our new Bighorn 3685. We had it tied down with awning straps but it was no match for a sudden storm that came thru the middle of the night. By the time we heard the wind blowing, it was too late to bring it in. The arms bent in half and then...

The 31" lower cabinet next to the stove does not have a shelf on the bottom. It's carpeted. Why?? Cindy

Can someone tell me how the Welcome Back Light works? thanks

The aisle light on our 3685 blows the fuse. I removed the (frosted glass) lens to check the bulb, etc. Any ideas on what to look for? I believe this is a motion activated light when the door opens. thanks, Cindy

2012 Bighorn 3685 6 months old No visible leaks. We are parked on a level concrete surface. Legs were level and now (off door side) has leaked down about 2" in a week. I do hear a popping sound off and on. Read a post that related this to weather. (?) We are in Texas 80 degree day, 70...

Just sorting the bugs out of our 2012 Bighorn. The TV in the living room appears to be mounted a little low (raised out of the lower cabinet). It won't pick up the remote. I am thinking it can be raised up on the bracket 1/4" or so and still close with the counter flat. there are 4 screws...

What options we have for an antenna and booster for our internet air card? We use this for business. Our 3055 is outfitted with Wilson electronics Dual-Band amplifier and the antenna is mounted on the ladder. It works well in most areas but I wonder if we could do better. The 3685 probably...

The door knob on the bathroom door is not working easily. Spray lubricant did not help so it appears it needs to be replaced- thought I was going to get locked in there! I'm having trouble finding the same type of knob- thought a box store knob would work but not without refitting it. Camping...

We bought our very first RV four years ago- BH 3055. It was quite an adventure but today I was thinking about how helpful this list has been. Honestly, this forum saved us a lot of grief (and probably our marriage)! Just wanted to list some of the tips I received personally and if anyone...

After months and months of studying/shopping all of the Bighorn floorplans, we bought a 2012 3685. I like the open floor plan and the new colors. The dealer will deliver it to us at our current job location. That is great customer service! We decided to keep the 3055 so I will call that...

We made our decision on a 2012 3685. I inspected the unit this weekend and I have one concern. The cabinet that would hold the Dish receiver appears too small. I measured the cabinet and tomorrow I will check the receiver size in our 3055. Also, this cabinet has a solid wood door. Will the...

We have been back and forth with what model to replace our 08 3055. I thought the BH 3800 (2011) with 2 bedrooms and the extra half bath was perfect. But the kitchen was too small for our needs. So, we are going to order a 3670. After looking at the options, I wonder what are the best choices...

Maybe it's been awhile since we've had work done in an RV shop but $109 hourly rate? Considering what we pay for automotive repair rates ($75 average) and airplane repairs ($80 hr average) What gives??

The 2011 Bighorn 3800DB has a ceiling vent in the rear bedroom. Are the bedroom vents pre-wired for an AC unit? thanks

Some of you know I have been wanting a Bighorn 3800 with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. It appears we may get one. (a new 2011) Some of you also know that our 3055 flooded last week and will be in the shop for the repairs. I do have a question about the air conditioning in the larger RV's. With...

While I was out of town, DH had an accidental flood (kitchen sink) in our 3055. Water was in the kitchen/living area about and hour and a half. He ripped out the carpet/pad and all of the kitchen vinyl. He also loosened the bottom cover where some water ran out. We also cut the vapor barrier...

One of the basement doors is noticeably yellow. Against the white gel coat walls it looks terrible. Can it be repainted? what type of paint? It would be helpful to have the exact color to match the others. thanks in advance, Cindy

Where can I buy quality RV water hoses? I have no luck with water hoses (yes, I use a water regulator) they leak, bulge and then explode into a gusher... Thanks! Cindy near McKinney, TX

Wondering if anyone owns a 3800DB or has an opinion about this unit. I love the idea of two separate bedrooms and a half bath, but no recliner(s) is a problem. Any input would be appreciated!

We have it narrowed down to a Bighorn 3800 DB or a Big Country 3550 TSL. Problem is finding one on the ground in Texas. Is there a list of dealers? The main website does not give an option for dealers in a certain mile radius. Travel is not a problem. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

We are interested in a unit with two queen beds. The BC 3550 shows a loft bed but I have not found pics. Are there any other models with two beds? Anyone on the list that has this RV? Thanks, Nick and Cindy

I would like to do a more permanent installation of the antenna cable for a cell amplifier. Can I drill a hole thru the desk slide? I remember some discussion on this but a search was not successful. thanks in advance.

The delamination on one slide section has more than separation. I have the kit to prevent anymore damage to the plywood edge. It appeared to work pretty well on the slightly damaged slide edge sections. Any loose material was scraped/chipped away and the tube material was spread on using a...

What is the best sewer hose to buy? Something that is sturdy and won't spring links in less than a year. Thanks, Cindy

'08 3055 The (black covered) plywood under two of the slides appears to be delaminating along the edges. It looks as though water/moisture is wicking along the edges- about 2" in and the length of the slide. It is soft and beginning to swell along the edge where it is hanging down past the...

We love our 2008 BH 3055 but are thinking about upgrading to a larger unit. Before I start shopping, I would like to get an approximate appraisal on our 3055. Is there a blue book of RV's? would you trade or sell private party? I would like to have the separate bathroom, king size bed and...

The central vac won't shut off. I flipped the breaker and removed the two screws holding the sliding cover (where the hose attaches). Nothing appears to be broken or loose. No luck. Any ideas?? thanks, Cindy
