    Another wet underbelly question

    We too have water in the underbelly with no apparent water inside the RV. No wet walls, ceiling or rugs. Additionally to having lots of water running out from the underbelly, I took the wall out from the basement and looked at the top of the black tank. There was fresh water sitting on top of...

    Slide out issues and possible fire danger

    Thought all you BigHorn owners might be interested in this. Our electric bedroom slide quit working. A mobile repair service was called. What they found was that all the wiring for the bedroom to include the slide, the electrical outlets and the overhead reading lights was laying on the floor...

    Bedroom slide

    Slide out continuation Our electric bedroom slide would not come out. I hooked the motor to the drill and got the slide partially out and then could bring the slide in and out with the switch. I brought it PARTIALLY in and out about five times and it worked fine. However, as soon as the...

    Bedroom slide

    Upon arriving at the campground today our bedroom electric slide would not come out on our Bighorn. I looked in the fuse box and it said that fuse 11 was for the bedroom slide AND the basement light. Sure enough, the basement light is also not working. The fuse appears to be good and I did...

    Oh *&^%^

    We had this problem with the black tank. It overfilled and flowed onto the top of the tank. Caught it before it got off the top of the tank thank goodness. However, none of your tanks should be leaking even if you do back the grey into the shower. If the seal is tight between the tank and...

    Beauflor Flooring

    We have the same issue, however, I notice the dents seem to get less the longer the slide out stays out. Have been in this location about 2 months and almost completely gone. We do have a few scuffs that I can see if I look at the floor in a certain lighting situation. Not near as bad as all...

    Popping noise

    I have read lots of posts about this popping noise. Our Bighorn in 7 months old and we hear this noise during temperature changes. Has anyone on this forum had a fix done and did it work? If so, we may go ahead and contact Lippertt now while still under warranty.

    Single pane to dual pane windows

    We had dual pane on our previous Bighorn. Did not get them this time. We have not noticed any difference in noise or cold but we do not RV in weather much below freezing and only then for brief periods in the early AM. I was concerned about condensation but so far (7 months now) we have had...

    Black Tank Issue?

    Last night we noticed an unpleasant odor in the RV. This AM it was much worse. We figured out it was coming from the basement. After removing the basement wall we located very stinky water sitting on top of the black tank. The water had accumulated around where the toilet pipe enters the...

    ATF: Bighorn - Slide out

    Our 3685 leaves an indentation also. Usually goes away after the slide it out a while. HOWEVER, we do see some scuffing on the floor. I was wondering about putting a rug there to let the slide roll up on it but not sure. Anyone try that?

    Shower Flex

    Our screws are visible and are very tight. This is a squeak when we stop out. I do not see a large amount of flex although with this noise I am sure there is some.

    Shower Flex

    Our Bighorn is 7 months old. We have started to hear a flexing sound when we get out of the shower. I can actually just walk around in the shower and hear a noise like there is give. Is this normal or should I be looking to see if there is a problem. We do not have a leak around the shower...

    2013 Outside motion light

    Our motion light quit working all together and it was a burned out blulb. I got on the website and printed out the manual to try to figure out the light. The On/Off/On method works. The light will blink blue in the day but the light will not come on by motion sensor during daylight hours...

    Jacks not working.

    If you run the jacks up a little too long after they are retracted the 30 amp fuse will blow. It is located by the battery and has a red cover over it. There is a small button you have to push which is on the side and it will reset the fuse. Hope this helps.

    Greystone Fireplace

    We have a 2013 Big Horn 3685. It has a Greystone fireplace under the TV. The glass is terribly dirty on the inside. I am trying to figure out how to get the glass out. I BELIEVE I have to remove the fake wood trim around the fireplace, but want to know if anyone has done this before I pull...

    Cleaning the Tri-Fold Shower Door

    I will be happy to hear some replies on this one. We have the same issue. We use a squeegee on the doors and wipe them down but getting between the glass is an issue. I tried one of those sponge wedges on a stick used for painting and got some of the residue off but not all. I will keep...

    RV Capital Wholesalers - Recent Experiences

    We purchased our Big Horn from them about 3 months ago. You will pick it up at Great Lakes RV (unless you want to pay for delivery) which is about 2 miles from the factory. We are full time. They took our 2008 in trade and allowed us to stay in their lot with water and electricity two nights...

    Sewer Smell at Front A/C

    As odd as this may seem, we poured Clorox down the shower, the bathroom sink and the kitchen sink and the smell went away. Our smell was not continual though. After numerous '"cloroxing" we never had the problem again.

    Window Leaks

    We have just suffered through Tropical Storm Debby here in Florida. We have a 3 month old Big Horn 3685 and all three of the large sliding windows leaked into the inside tracks. The only way I could stop the problem was to tilt the RV back just a little. Then everything stayed completely dry...

    Bh 3685 how do you like it

    We have had our 3685 for two months now. We are really enjoying it. We worked with RV Capital Wholesalers in Elkhart and were able to talk to the factory and make a few changes. We put barrel cabinets under both sides of the kitchen counter, added bedside shelves and redesigned the closet to...

    6 point leveling

    Our level up system gave us a level readout. However, after being in this location for a day, the left side seems to be low. The doors all want to swing that way. Can I do another level up process with the slides out?

    ATF: Bighorn - Skin coming loose in king pin area

    I would suggest you call Heartland Customer Service. We met a guy at the Elkhart Campground who had an appointment with Heartland Factory Service Dept due to the same problem. He said they fixed his for free as a manufacturing problem. Was leaking at the edge of the overhang. I believe this...

    R/V Capital

    We purchased our RV there and had a few things that needed attention. While they were very prompt in responding, I would agree they were lacking in ability. Our door was so hard to open, the wife could not open it at all. After three attempts, I ended up fixing it myself when we left and were...

    Slider on screen door sticking, jamming.

    We are having the same problem. Have decided that it was cut just a tab too short (top to bottom) allowing it to pop out whenever you close the door. We are going to try working on that when we have time.

    Long Distance Purchases - hearing bad stories

    We purchased our new 3685 Bighorn in April from RV Capital in Elkhart. They took our trade and gave us a decent price for it. We stayed in their lot for two days and moved everything from old RV to new one. Found a few things that needed attention and they immediately took are of it. We then...

    About to Place our order.

    We opted out of the bedroom TV and bought a 22 inch at Walmart and a mount for 1/2 the price. The 32 inch is so big for that bedroom. The wall is prepped to install the mount and we had no problem at all.

    Dual Air Conditioning

    We have dual air with the second air being a 13.5 BTU Low Profile. It appears that this is a deducted system. Do both this bedroom and the living AC use the same duct system? In other words, if I turn on the bedroom AC is it cooling the living room also and vice versa?

    Regulating water temperature

    We have a brand new (1 week) Big Horn. When we take a shower we have to have the hot water knob all the way on and the cold water barely on. Is this normal. It is like too much cold is coming into the system. Seems that they should be equal to have a good temperature for a shower. Any...
