I did an extensive amount of research and modified some of Dicor's instructions and at one point I wondered if I was in over my head but one day at a time it is done and better than if a shop had done it. I can say with certainty that I'll never do this again. I will help and advise somebody...

Finished installing a new (warrenty replacement) tpo roof membrane on our 2015 Bighorn 3610. The original epdm roof developed the blistering problem from that era. This is not a job to take litely especially if you are a 65 year old retiree.

I had a neighbor a couple years ago with identical symptoms. The rubber seal on the antiflow back valve where the water hose screws into had come loose and was partially blocking the opening.

We had the same symptoms on our 2015 Bighorn shortly after taking delivery. After a lot of head scratching I determined that water was pooling in front of the gasket on the doors where the frame is held in with screws. In this case water was getting past the screws and running onto the...

We found the exact same issue on our 2015 BH3610 about 2 weeks after we took delivery. Water came in around the top of the rear window and was puddling on top of the entertainment center. I called the dealer immediately and after the owner talked me down off of the window ledge, the solution...

In looking closely at the photo it appears to me as though the force that broke the fiberglass was an outward force from the inside. It may be that the slide is badly out of adjustment with that upper corner hitting hard when opening and possibly over extending. If that is the case a good tech...

I ordered 1 panel from http://www.fauxpanels.com/wellington-stone/styles-drystack.php?model=W2-DSP-PN-EA and cut it and assembled it to fit. The width was perfect but the height was only 25 7/8". I cut the top section and the bottom section and used the fireplace cutout area to do the sides...

I've had this faux stone fireplace surround overlay cut for awhile but just glued it on today.

We ordered a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali SRW and just took delivery of it Thursday evening. The level of comfort and included technology is overwelming. It is a piece of artwork. One of the few negatives we have found is the turn signal led lights in the new style chrome/folding mirrors...

Re: Inverter for fridge problem I think that if you shut off the breaker in the breaker box for the refrigerator and turn on the inverter you should get an accurate test while still running all of the other circuits in the rig including the air conditioners. Power goes from the breaker box to...

I checked our 2015 Bighorn today and found the formentioned hole under the license plate light completely open to water runoff. Additionally there was a sag in the underbelly. If you guessed water you were right. Caulked the hole shut and dropped the moisture barrier to dry out. I expect...

Re: starting amps? I am sorry the new inverter did not work out for you. I know there are several of us trying to be patient about getting this issue resolved. I am a little concerned that Heartland decided to move forward with a modified sine wave inverter as they can have compatibility...

Re: Inverter for fridge problem The residential refrigerator/inverter option has 2 batteries connected in parallel so you have a good amount of stored 12 volt DC power available to power the inverter. If you look strictly at the startup or normal draw amperage of the refrigerator it looks like...

I just finished reinforcing the ladder on my Bighorn and thought I would post some pictures. Having been a professional furniture/cabinet maker for a part of my earlier life my approach to making the split clamps had to be wood. What you see in the photos are split clamps made of red oak spray...

Cathy and I have walked the same path as you. "It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Focus on the 14 wonderful years you had each other. Peace be with you.

Dan, I have considered the following items which could cause this issue: Batteries (both were full charged), battery cables, battery disconnect switch, inverter, transfer switch, a short downstream (although the gfi on inverter should trip) and refrigerator. The tech did open up the junction...

My refrigerator's tag says it uses 8.5 amps and the inverter is 1000w which would have the inverter working at max. It's possible that our refrigerators (3 with this issue) use a little more than that on startup (the inverter should allow that for a short period of time) or it's possible this...

I have the same inverter issue with our 2015 Bighorn. Had it to the dealer2 weeks ago and the tech was not sure what was wrong. After a three way conversation with Heartland and Magnum, they decided that the refrigerator needed to be cooled on AC before switching over to inverter. I could not...

Dw and I just returned home from a wonderful weekend camping in our new 2015 Bighorn 3610. We are thrilled at the thought of enjoying this rig for years to come. We have a couple small issues to work through but nothing to loose any sleep over. We had many positive compliments from other...

Hi Crossway, We ordered and took delivery of our 2015 Bighorn 3610 2 weeks ago tomorrow and it came with a Samsung led. I think you can expect the same. The brochure and web sites are very generic and outdated. Good luck with the new Savanna. Rod

Thanks everyone for the good thoughts on our purchase. Rod: Hope to tour your side of the Mississippi in a little over 9 years when I retire (lottery has not been helpful in making that happen sooner:)). Jamie: Brooks is the dealer we ordered from and you are right about the 3610 being by...

Hi all, We just got back from the Pittsburgh RV Show where we dusted off the checkbook and ordered a Big Horn 3610 with the ivory exterior and a lot of other goodies. It's more camper than we have a right to own but we will soon. We will be waiting for delivery day and then spring so we can...

The floor jack is a definite advantage. I'm usually in a mud hole or a snow bank somewhere putting on the iron. In the early days it would take 45 minutes to put a set on. I've got it down to 12-15 minutes. Amazing what experience does.

I work in the natural gas industry in Pennsylvania which requires chains often. I prefer to run chains on both front tires in 4 wheel drive. Make sure you keep the chains tight as they can and will cut brake lines if they come off. Also avoid hard stops as the back of the truck will pass the...

We have been researching the purchase of a new fifth wheel for months now including a trip to the Hershey, PA rv show. After looking at volumes of brochures and looking at endless web pages we came to a decision. The Bighorn 3685 RL became the choice of the lot. So off the dealer last...

I'm glad I used my first post on this form to successfully help you and others with this issue. We hope to become Big Horn owners at the Pittsburgh RV show in January.

I had the exact same symptoms with sob fiver three years ago. Everything pointed to an open ground. When I opened the female adapter on the 50 amp power cord I was shocked (no pun intended) that someone would assemble such an important item so poorly. In addition to strands of wire everywhere...
