We have bought a number of solar items from these guys http://www.solar-electric.com/ . They do not install but they can design a quality system for anyone. We recently help a family member with their new 2011 CYCLONE they bought from Heartland. They now have a 1,200 watt system on their RV...

I want to say I am very happy with my satellite wiring setup. Well, ok... Happier than most on this thread. The only problem I found was the labeling was incorrect. Out of four connectors in the UDC, one goes to the bedroom (mis-labeled) and one goes to living room (mis-labeled). Just a...

NO... I do not have a gooseneck hitch. I was trying to describe the location. The sagging area is more to the middle (a foot or more from the hitch) and to the left (driver's side). I need to find the steel framing in that area to screw to.

Model - 2010 3600RL I have noticed since the one year warranty is up that the fiberglass skin towards the driver's side (left side) is sagging. The entire skin under the gooseneck area (under the closet area) has no screws to keep the skin from sagging except for the two screws for the bracket...

Warranty Parts are in Limbo It was back on October 12 when we took the Big Horn in for warranty repairs. It is now November 2 and Heartland has not shipped the warranty parts. From the conversation today, Heartland still is not sure when they will ship the warranty parts to the dealer. As...

An update on the warranty issues we have. According to Desert Coach RV in St George, UT, Heartland has authorized the parts and labor on the different issues. The bulk of the parts were ordered and are suppose to be here approximately Nov 2, 2009. The dealer did on Oct 12, take our Sealand...

Heartland Called Today Chris from Heartland called me today (Oct 14) in regards to the SLAM DOORS. Just as the dealer told me, Chris from Heartland said on the phone today that they prefer the customer to call Heartland before the customer goes to the dealer for warranty work. Then Chris told...

Calling before warranty work performed Hi Jim! We are just very baffled that Heartland wants every customer to call them directly with warranty issues. We never had to call GM when we had truck warranty problems. The GM dealer just got the warranty work authorized and did the warranty work...

On Sept 2, 2009, I wrote a 6 month ownership review of the BIGHORN. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php?t=11890 Desert Coach RV in St. George, UT (435-656-2203) said they were on the phone with Heartland and since I have not called Heartland by phone about the SLAM DOORS falling apart...

Rules are changing! Grand Junction, CO was always a "NO-NO" staying at the Wal-Mart because of City Ord. Now, the City Ord is still there but no longer in forced. We guess the Police have better things to do. This means that we should always call ahead because rules change all the time...

Problems This is why we waited six months to post our problems. Your list will grow!

The following was sent to me in a private message so I will NOT post their name but I feel people should read what was sent to me: ...Sorry to hear about your warranty issues. So many were the same for us in our former 2006 3400RL BH and now in our 2009 LM Augusta. It is truly frustrating but...

It has been SIX months since we traded in the 2004 Keystone Everest 343L for the 2010 Heartland BIGHORN 3600RL. In general, the BIGHORN is a stronger/heavier built unit than the Everest. That is evident by having to buy a bigger truck to pull the BIGHORN through the mountains in the Western...

SLAM DOORS falling off! :o Ours was built in the middle of March and we are seeing a problem with the awning side SLAM DOOR that goes up/down. We believe palebluedot is correct, it will take longer but the rest of the SLAM DOORS will start to fall apart. This is why we are waiting a...

We are thinking about waiting a couple more months to see if the rest of our SLAM DOORS start to fall apart. It would be nice if Heartland would come out and say that they will just replace all of our SLAM DOORS instead of us having to go to the dealer each time another SLAM DOOR falls...

I now see the awning side SLAM DOOR for the basement that goes up/down starting to rub on the frame.:( From what I am reading on this forum, SLAM DOORS that open up/down and sideways are going bad. Since I would like to only go to the dealer once for SLAM DOOR replacements, should I wait...

So....The slam door that people are having problems with is ONLY the awning side slam door that opens up/down? The other slam doors that open to the side are fine?

Heartland did poor caulking job on our BIGHORN.:(

Hi Dan... We wanted a larger fresh water tank in the BIGHORN. Heartland said they would install a Landmark Frame and an 85 gallon fresh water tank for $500. Our unit does have those two items (we think), but Heartland could have installed the tank and connecting hoses better since we paid...

bigdob24... From our experience, do not ask Heartland to do anything outside their normal options they offer. You probably will NOT be happy with the results!:(

Interesting...From the beginning, our shower area had leaked. We stripped the old caulking off and applied new. Why Heartland is this a problem area for your assembly people?

The last few weeks, the local TV channel was showing a coverage map for the area showing that their new digital TV coverage area would be less than the old analog TV coverage area. There is much improvement that needs to be made with the new digital coverage area that these TV stations are...

Solar We do NOT use the power grid in this Country. Approximately 90% of the year we use solar energy. Last winter in the NV, AZ, and CA area, we logged in approximately 30 hours on our Honda generator for the entire winter, so solar works great.:) Might want to check out this website...

The OLD 2500HD vs the 3500HD question... There is no right answer. There are many factors to consider. We recently spent time with a couple that uses a semi to tow their fifth wheel. His semi never is over worked. Best of all, one can buy a 5 year old semi for $20-25K that is in great...

....finally settled on the Bighorn 3410RE.... If I may make a comment, the BH 3610RE has 12" frame, 7K axles, and G rated tires. When the unit is a couple of years old, you will probably be very happy that you went with the heavier duty equipment that the 3610RE has. Whereas the 3410RE has...

Underbelly Wet I have found the same thing happen. While setting at a location and it has rained, the underbelly will start to get a pool of water in it. It sounds like a good idea to drill a weep hole at the lowest point so water can drain out. I believe I will do that in the near future...

Floor Creeks I thought a laminated floor would not have creeks in it (at least not for several years until the glue stopped holding), but our unit was built a couple of months ago and already has floor creeks coming from different locations.:confused:

I wish I could say that Heartland's QC was perfect for our 3600RL, but HL definitely has room for improvement in regards to their QC on the BIGHORNs. Maybe HL has better people working on the Sundance production line than the BIGHORN production line?!?:(

Filling Hose I do not want to go into the fluid dynamic problems of why so many people have problems with filling the fresh water tank at the Universal Docking Station (UDS). I like the UDS, but Heartland's design of running approximately nine feet of water filling hose from the UDS to the...

What size do you have? What is the temperature display showing? What is the outside temperature?

More Information 'Booklet Marine Polish' is a 10 page booklet they will email you that gives more details. Email jpeoples@re-structuremarine.com and ask for this pdf booklet or download it here at this link. Our RV is too expensive to just go to Wal-Mart and buy 'X' brand polish and hope...

Our Keystone Everest, we traded in for the BIGHORN, had a 10" Frame, 6K axles, and E Rated tires. Our new BIGHORN has 12" Frame, 7K axles, and G Rated tires. After owning both, I would highly recommend a fulltimer going with the heavier Frame, axles, and tires.:)

Carnuba Wax will turn that beautiful new white fiberglass yellow over time. Where as a good quality sealant will allow the white fiberglass to stay white many years down the road.:)

Wax? FIRST...... DO NOT USE CARNUBA WAX!!!!! Second..... I am a big believer that nano technology is the way to go. Look at: http://www.re-structuremarine.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=1009 Two bottles did the entire outside of our 3600RL.

location Currently at the www.ho-chunk.com casino in Baraboo. So far we are positive. But I am sure that will change since someone has to pay the overhead they have.:rolleyes: Today, we visited the Baraboo visitor center. Not much going on here in this area until after Memorial Day. By then...

On 4/28 (Tuesday), we were traveling north on I39 in IL. Now we are in WI for a couple of weeks and then off to Minnesota.

After owning a Keystone Everest and now owning a Heartland BIGHORN, we have to say there is NO comparison between the two units. Unless you can compare an apple to an orange. The Heartland BIGHORN has so much better quality than the Keystone Everest, we are continuously amazed. We could...

We once had the wire connected to the motor pump just slightly loose. We found it by having the wife push on the switch as I moved the different wires, I located the loose wire and tightened it. Slides worked fine after that.
