Re: Revoving original TV Thanks Terry, That is what I was afraid of. Oh well, now I know it wont be a waste of time.

I have the original Toshiba analog tv that came with my 2006 Bighorn, I want to replace it with a flat screen digital but can't figure how to get the darn thing out. It seems to be fastened down somehow but cant find out how. Do I have to remove the bottom panel of the shelf that holds the...

Thanks Ray, my trailer doesnt have the two plates, I just have 4 cables coming out a hole in the wall, I know it used to work before I went to the Sat. but now I am wondering if I need the box that converts analog to digital signals, don't remember what year that started.

I have a 2006 Big Horn 3400, I have been hooked to sattelite for a couple of years, now I need to use the antenna again. Can't remember what cable to use for the input on the splitter. I have a black, green, blue and red marked coax coming out ot the wall and of course a black one going to the...

I can tell you from sad experience that Heartland has had some broken frames up in the bedroom area. Mine was one of them. I have a 2006 Bighorn and my frame broke. The good news is, it was fixed under warranty. They also welded several pounds of gussets in to reinforce the front frame area...

Hey Terry, I may make the south Texas one but the other is out of the question. I decided I didn't like retirement and went back to work so my extended trips will be fewer for a while. I wouldn't mind going back to Palo Duro again one of these days either.

I had mine done at the dealer, Explore USA in Kyle Texas, they did a real bang up job. I went with the wood look. They said it would be better to leave the carpet on the slide part so that is what I did. Another Question, wonder how hard it would be to replace the carpet in the bed room and...

With a broken frame, fixed under warranty, a broken spring and spring shackles, and a host of minor problems i fixed my self, I still like my Bighorn. Would I buy another one if I were in the market today??, Yeah, but not the biggest think I could haul. I would down size some.

I posted this in another area but maybe ask the factory is the best place to ask. Is there any way to get rid of the remote and put in a wall thermostat without having to replace the air conditioner as well?

I had laminate put in my kitchen, it works well and looks great. Got to remember though, laminate is heavier than linoleum so you gonna have a trade off somewhere.

Thanks Roger, Maybe I should really have posted this thing in the ask the factory.

Thanks, I was afraid I would breat the darn thing.

I still have the early remote control air and heat system. The thing has never seemed to work correctly, no matter where i have the remote located. Has anyone figured out how to get rid of this little jewel and go to a wall thermostat without having to buy a new A/C unit?

I don't if this is the right place to post this but here it is anyway. One of the three over couch lights no longer burns. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the bulb and/or light. Anyone help me on this? Thanks

Thanks for the many replies, I looked and yes, I have Alko axles, I will talk to Heartland but figure the axles are probably not under warranty now. A note about how cheap springs are; in Texas, the spring would have cost me about $50.00, in Kingston N. Y. it cost me $125.00, I also got...

I would like to know what axles were originally used in this rig and can they be changed to a heavier rated axle? I have one that seems to have absolutely no arc in it and I have broken a spring, shackle hanger and shock on that axle.

Gas operation I have a 2006 Bighorn and I have never got it to run the hot water on gas. I procrastinated until it was out of warranty so it still doesn't work on gas. Maybe I just don't know how to work it.

I am glad to hear that. I left Texas a little over a week ago and when I got into Alabama, I found out that the hander for the spring shackle on the left rear axle had come unwelded, and when backing up the rear wheel would go forward and hit the front axle wheel. I managed to get it to a...

There are dealers and then there are dealers. I bought my 2006 Bighorn from ExploreUSA in Kyle Texas and through some minor and some major issues with the trailer, I can tell you that the service efforts from that location was nothing short of outstanding. That doesn't solve your issues I...

Jim, I would like to add my congratulations as well. You do a super job.

All I can say, is anyone who willingly lives or travels in California has got to be missing a few marbles somewhere.

Personally, using a 6 inch level, I level the inside of my freezer, when my refridgerator is happily leveled, the rest of the trailer cant complain.

Thanks for the information. I will either carry a spare can or avoid the route. Dusty

Mine got a speaker that had cam adrift hung behind it and I can tell you for sure, it is brad nailed... Dusty

I have to tell you, it's comforting to me to know there are lots of folks who go armed. In case I forgot to bring mine, I would hope my next door camp mate would help defend me. Dusty

Between my Bighorn locks and a 9mm Beretta, I feel fairly safe, yup Dusty

Scott, You will be sorely missed. I appreciate the help you have given me in the past, especially when I had cracked frame issues. Best of luck to you. Dusty

Has anyone trailered across Hwy 2 through Vermont, New Hampshire and on to Maine? Is it ok for a Bighorn 5ver? Thanks Dusty

Ok, Thanks guys, I think I will find another route. Dusty

Thanks Van, I was kinda worried about it, my trailer is in the neighborhood of 12'6" and it makes me nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rockers to think about leaving the air conditioner hanging on a low underpass, or worse the roof of the trailer. Dusty

Hi everyone, I am trying to plan a trip to the north east and would like to (I think) travel down the Blue Ridge Parkway. I notice the tunnel heights give a maximum and minimum heights. Has anyone actually towed down this road? Can I assume that the Maximum height would be like in a center...

Heartland Dealers in texas Exploreusa is a heartland dealer, there is one in Dallas somewhere, and I think one in Mesquite. Dusty

It must have been a day for Bighorns, 12-6-07 and 12-7-07. On the 6th we spotted a Bighorn on Hwy 290 at a picnic area just a few miles east of Fredericksburg Texas, he was east bound and we were west bound. On the 7th we were headed back east and saw another Bighorn west bound in downtown...

I have had some problems with my Bighorn, but I sure have never had any problems with Heartlands response. I am still a very happy camper with my trailer and with Heartland

No Harley, its almost 2 years old and its never worked on gas. It hasn't been a problem for me yet, but sooner or later I need to figure it out. I checked to make sure things were clean and clear and made sure it actually had a connection to the propane tank. Everything looks fine, thanks for...

You guys are lucky, Icant get my hot water on my Bighorn to light on gas at all. Dusty

Dave, I can't tell you much about it, but I am a member of The Caverns RV Resort in Huachuca City. The return address on the last envelope I got from them has: Choice Camping Inc./The Caverns RV Resort , 252 W. Hwy 82, Huachuca City, Az 85616. I would make the wild assumption that they are...

Its just an opinion, but I think this country has way to many lawyers and nowhere near enough good product manuals., yup Dusty

I was browsing through a Camping World catalog last night and noitced that they now offer RV king linens for the beds. gonna check it out when I get back to Texas. Dusty

Yep, I was advised that the slides had to remain carpet too. and it doesnt look bad that way. Lots less carpet to get dirty than before. We left the bed room carpeted as well. Dusty
