So I assisted the mobile tech with replacing the window, and I'm glad I did because now I have the knowledge to do it on my own if I ever need to do it in the future. It is surprisingly simple... total cost was $450 for the window from Heartland, and $300 for the tech to put it in. I'm glad...

My Bighorn is only a few months old, and the caret on the steps to the bedroom already looks worn as well. Anyone have any pics of some that have been redone?

I was able to do the repair on my own since I'm still relatively young, but if I was older, this would not have been possible for me. I try not to get upset about it since it was something I could fix, but I'm concerned about other problems that will arise from simple factory oversights...

It's funny you say that because I thought of that, but unfortunately I didn't think of it until after I re-fastened the underbelly back on...

I noticed the underbelly was swelling and leaking water thisweekend, so I dropped the underbelly to take a look and found that the greywater tank the shower drains to had become completely disconnected from thedrain pipe. I connected them backtogether, and tightened the metal clamp and the...

so the mower tossed a rock and shattered my window, and Heartland says they can't send just the bottom glass that's broken. They have to send the entire window for about $350, and it'll take them about four weeks to send it. I didn't realize a broken window could be such a pain...

I used the Curt adjustable hitch # 13703. It's on Amazon for about $197. The mounting holes don't line up, so I used a hand drill to make new holes. This hitch is made of a very high quality steel, so drilling it isn't easy... I tarted with small bts and worked my way up to te larger bits. If...

When I bought my Bighorn, I thought the 6-point stabilizing system would be enough to keep the RV from rocking much but when you have a 10-year, I quickly learned it isn't enough. What has made a world of difference for me was adding a touch- point to the ground in the very front of the RV, as...

Ok, thank you for the information. I definitely would have put the jack directly on the tube... If you don't put the jack on the tube, where do you put it? On another note, I just got off the phone with Heartland and they think I should buy a new Brakecontroller even though mine works well...

When the emergency breakaway cable is pulled, where does thepower come from to lock the wheels? Does it come from the tow vehicle, or fromthe RV battery? Next, the trailer is currently leveled with the automaticleveling system and setup on my campsite. Can I just use a jack and lift up onetire...

Ok here’s a picture of what the brake wires look like at thebackside of the tires. The wires gointo the axle and into to the back of the hub assembly. I know ya’ll say I should check them but whatam I supposed to do, take the whole drum apart? I’m afraid I’m about to just break out my wallet...

Ok, so here’s a picture of my junction box with the coveroff. I don’t see anything obvious. Let meknow what you guys think.

I have printed the articles and started self-educating. If I can't figure it out from here, I will go the mobile service route. Many thanks for your help!! Will

so I used a tester to check the pigtail at the back of the truck and it was all fine, and the tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals on the trailer all work fine as well. It was suggested above to check the "junction box" for loose connections, but I'm not exactly sure how to do that. I'm...

I have already determined the issue is with the trailer because I connected my truck to the trailer next to me, and everything worked fine with the break-controller and all.

Yes, all lights on the trailer work well and the pigtail has been checked. Only the brakes do not work. Everything else works great. I will check the pinbox wires as recommended and see what I can see... Thanks

Hello everyone, I was not sure the best forum to post this question, so trying thisone. I have a brand new Bighorn, and thetrailer brakes have never worked. I have verified my brake controller (prodigyP2) is in good working condition, and connected it to another trailer forverification. When...

It's just resting on top of the spare tire bracket. it's an 8 foot ladder.

This is the Curt 13703 adjustable RV Hitch from Amazon for $197. All I did was use a hand drill to make new holes for a direct bolt on. Apologies for the sideways pic. It isn't like that on my computer...

Thanks for sharing. Now I'm going to look into it. Always looking for places to stash things...

Hi, Here's another issue I missed in the PDI. The seal is pulling away from the unit. What sealant is good to use in there to keep water out? Thanks!! Will

Gentlemen, Thank you for your assistance. I have ordered the marine-tex, and look forward to getting it squared away. Will

I missed this hole in the finish when I did the PDI since it can't be seen from the ground. What can I fill the hole with to prevent further wear over time?

Thank you all for your responses. Turns out the line was kinked behind the fridge... Glad to have t fixed, that was frustrating. Will

Hello Everyone, Just brought my new bighorn home yesterday, and having trouble priming the fridge. I turned the valve on under the sink, but when trying to get the water to come out of the dispenser, it never comes. I don't see any crimped water lines. Any ideas I can try? Thanks! Will

Hello, I'm an active duty army servicemember, and planning to purchase the RD next month but before I make the jump, I wanted to see if anyone knew of any changes in the 2019 model that would make it worth waiting until the summer to purchase? Many thanks! Will

Dan, Thank you for the advice. I'm going to see the trailer tomorrow, and these are all things I will discuss with the salesman while I check it out. Again, many thanks! Will

Hi all, My local CW has one of these for sale and I was considering getting it for my family, but I just wanted to check and see what the basic issues are before going through with it. Many thanks! Will
