    Water leak in Kitchen Slide

    We only believe this happens when the slide is out and we have a slide awning. When we are parked we have developed a water significant water leak. We have checked the walls, doesn't appear to be there. Could it be coming in via the refrigerator vents? We have not been on the roof to look as it...

    ATF: Bighorn - Response from Service

    I recently ordered some decals for our BH. Customer Service was great!! Can't say enough. The only problem is that whatever software you are using for the confirmations etc. sends a winmail.dat file. This file is a non-standard format and is only readable but Outlook(best I can tell from...

    Decals Coming Off

    Our rig is 3 years old and the decals are coming loose. Can anything be done about this. I have never seen this before in an Rv. Our last rv was 10 years old and fine, our truck is 12 years old and fine. I saw this on another Heartland a few weeks ago, that one was 6 years old.

    Double Towing

    Is anyone Double Towing? We drive and MDT so weight is not a problem. We are thinking about adding a receiving hitch(having it welded on) to the BH 3670 and towing a CRV. Is the frame strong enough to do this. I understand I would void the Lippert frame warranty but I figure it has expired...

    Something wrong with Forum?

    Is it me or has the forum changed? If it is the forum I sure don't like it. The tabs on the top are virtually invisible unless you rollover them and the background to each tab has a series of magnifying glasses, the entire forum color is washed out.

    Confused over who makes lock

    Our door lock on the BH is having problems. I had always thought Southco makes the lock and it seems to be on their website. When I looked on our initial screen under important contacts it says Shurflo makes the keyless door lock. I looked on the Shurflo website and the lock is not there. Did...

    Welcome Back Light and Magic

    We have had our BH for 2 years and never had this problem before. Our Welcome Back light, with the interior switch off, keeps going on and off. It slowly turns on and then turns off as soon as it reaches maximum wattage, has been repeating this sequence for the last 45 minutes. We did travel in...

    Electrical Cord Length

    Several times we have been caught(lack of thinking) stopping our trailer too far from the electric box and the cord wouldn't reach. Minor but frustrating. I think the problem comes from our old trailer having the electrical in the middle and the BH having the electrical in the rear. We finally...

    Electric Steps

    I am thinking about changing the steps in our BH to electric. I find the manual ones are very heavy for my wife to pull out and put up as we travel. I have found 2 brands: Kwikee and Stomberg-Carlson. Does anyone have any experience with these brands? Had anyone switched to electric steps? Any...

    Accu-Gold Memory Foam Mattress

    We need to replace our mattress and I was wondering if anyone had any experience/knowledge of the Accu-Gold mattress. It comes as 4 pieces of foam and you mix and match the pieces to get the correct firmness. Best part is that it comes in 4 boxes so we can handle it. Any info would be helpful.

    Has anyone noticed??

    When I started lurking on this forum the major discussions seemed to be around flat springs, tires and water leaks. I have noticed for a while now that there is little discussion regarding these problems. Best I can tell there is not one "major" item that seems to keep occurring. I know that...

    Trailer Brakes- 3 3/4"

    We ordered our trailer with the large brakes. Does anyone know if they are self adjusting or not? We have been told different things by different people and would really like to know. We understand the 2" are not self-adjusting but the 3 3/4" are. Does anyone know this for a fact. 2011 Bighorn

    Recliner Mod

    We have Lane recliners with sliders in our BH. My wife still had problems moving them around when setting up/taking down the trailer. The fabric was slick and she really couldn't get a grip on them. Lane has a wood frame so we bought some handles at HD and installed them on the side back of the...

    Bulging hose from water pump to cold water line

    When working behind the UDC on some new electrical modifications, I noticed the hose that is connected to the output of the water pump to a tee in the cold water line was bulging. This piece of hose looks identical in type to all the others behind the UDC and is about one foot long. I planned...

    Windows hard to open/close

    Our windows are very hard to open(the up/down windows). We have tried spraying the edges so they would slide easier but that doesn't seem to help. We are now looking to see if we can file something to loosen them up. It seems to be in the last 1-2" there is something that tightens up making it...

    Windows

    Who make the windows on the 2011 Big horn 3670. All the windows hang up when opening at about an inch but we have one window that we can't get past that inch. We need to understand what is causing the hangup on all the windows but especially the one we can't open at all. Our windows are not...

    Front Landing Jacks

    I just queried Lippert about the extension of the front landing jacks, we don't want to exceed the max. The response I have from them is the portion of the leg with the holes has 12 holes and you can safely use all of them. The portion of the leg that extends with the hydraulics can extend 12"...

    Looking for fuses

    On the 2011 BH 3670 does anyone know where the fuse/circuit breaker is for the rear stabilizer jacks and the 50a power cord? I think this is the last of our fuse hunt in the trailer.

    Balancing Tires

    The tires on our BH were not balanced at the factory!!!! We just had them all balanced. Has anyone else had their tires balanced? This should be #1 on the to do list when getting a trailer. These tires are expensive and I want to do everything I can to extend their life, also the wear and tear...

    Tank Monitor

    Our tank monitor doesn't read very well(other words are appropriate) and we decided that it probably wasn't set at the factory when installed. How do we adjust the tank monitor to read correctly?
