We thought we were being clever by inserting thin plexiglass sheets in the slots of the screen door - so on cool days we could have the main door open, to allow the sun to shine in through the screen door plexiglass. Turns out after the years, that may have not been such a bright idea. (Pun...

I bought a tool set of specialty screw drivers to adjust the hinges on our doorside cargo door. Turns out the closest drivers are either too big or too small. Anyone has a source for this tool?? It's some kind of "security tool" with a "pin" in the center... Thanks! Al

First - my background - I own a small computer business, started in 1979. Yes, 1979, that predates MS-DOS and Windows. 35 years of experience, and no, we still haven't seen it all! Before you upgrade to Windows 10, DO YOUR HOMEWORK first! Just because the upgrade is free (for now), if you are...

Sooo, the other day we got ready to take our3670RL home, in preparation for a 5 day fishing trip north of Leadville, CO. Everything stowed, one of the last steps is to bring in the slides... Hit the retract button, and NOTHING. What the heck? Worked fine for 4 years! Slides went out just fine...

I may get accepted for a short term position shortly. May be at Glacier Natl Park for two months. What items did you forget to take with you? Or wish you had? What items did you think you had to take and never used? Thanks! Al

This will be our 5th season in our Bighorn. We dry camp about 80-85% of the time. We have a 2k Honda generator that provides all the electricity we need. (if you camp in the mountains of Colorado, you hardly EVER need your air conditioner!) However, we are tired of the NOISE, even from a...

This is something I have been mulling over for a while. I'd like to come up with a way to create "positive" air pressure inside the coach when we travel over dirt (DUSTY) roads. It helps to keep the speed down (20-25 MPH), but really. Our usual destination involves a dirt road for the last...

We started having problems when running the refrigerator on propane last spring/summer. We could shut off the fridge, turn it on, and it would work for ONE cycle - maybe. NO PROBLEMS with electrical. I finally dug in to the propane section, wondering if there wasn't someones nest in there...

This video was shot by the Colorado Springs Fire Department. 350 homes burned to the ground in approximately 2-3 hours. The weather conditions were such that probably nothing could have prevented this. Several Fire Departments joined together, and prevented what could have been a major...

What we call "The Front Range" in Colorado (west side of I-25, along the beginnings of the Rocky Mountains) is NOT a good place to be right now. There are many wildfires (12?) all over Colorado at the moment. The Waldo Canyon fire, in Colorado Springs, grew from 4000 to 15,500 acres in just a...

Seen Wednesday, May 9... Colorado Springs Unleaded regular $3.81 Diesel $3.72 (!) Diesel LESS than gas??? That's a rarity!

Been thinking about this for quite a while, finally got around 2it... Replaced the glass frosty window in the door with a piece of plexiglass, $16 from a local glass shop, cut to size,12-1/2" X 22-1/2". (Actually to be safe, I subtracted 1/16" from each dimension, turns out I didn't need to)...

Can anyone tell me the thickness of the original brake pads, as supplied on a 2010 Bighorn 3670, Lippert Frame w/ 7000 lb axles and drum brakes? Checked my brakes pads today, there appears to be plenty of pad left, but that may depend on how much pad I started with:confused: Al S.

This starts the fourth season for our 2010 Bighorn. Just spent three hours checking the bearings and brakes - all were fine! While working on the front driver side wheel, I noticed a wire package just in front of the wheel the had rubbed enough on the tire, while towing, to eat through the...

Several people have mentioned this RV park giving it great reviews, even tho its just 20 miles from Colorado Springs, we had never been here. This is our first outing, gorgeous days! We will definitely come back!1

Four couples got a chance to meet up and say howdy at the Denver RV show Friday, Mar 2. It was a great opportunity to meet some new folks that have joined the Heartland Owners Club! George and Maureen Poirier have been long time members of the club, but this is the first time I have had the...

This is from this AM, there has been another 4 inches during the day... Sent so that the snowbirds may enjoy... Merry Christmas, all!

There are many Heartland Owners Club (HOC) members from the Colorado region planning to attend the National Rally in Gillette, WY in June. If you would like to join the Colorado gang, and camp in our area, please let us know here in this thread! We will pass this info on to Jim Beletti, and...

That's temps, not routes! 80 degrees yesterday, only gonna be in the mid twenties tomorrow! Six inches of snow predicted. Mid teens by Wednesday night. Got the BH winterized finally this past weekend. I have learned the RV's plumbing will survive a dip into the mid 20's, if it's brief, and...

This summer I mentioned that a couple of the plastic elbows at the brass three-way valve for winterizing my Bighorn cracked and leaked. I replaced those with brass fittings, but now I wonder if I got the pipe connections mixed up. With the valve set to "winterize", I can draw antifreeze thru...

I noticed a new leak after a rare rainstorm in Buena Vista this weekend. We have a Bighorn 3270, and water was pooled (not much) on the roof of the doorside slide. It was leaking through the bottom of the trim piece that runs across the top edge of the slide, and running down the exterior wall...

Question on tracking down a short - How to? SOLVED! Friend of mine has asked me to help him track down a short in his electrical system this weekend. (SOB) Basically, his bedroom lights are out. Fuse blown. Replaced the fuse, popped again right away. Strange thing is, he was parked in the same...
