    Pinbox area frame flex (BH 3670)

    Don't you just love the wet bolts. It keeps the rig from sounding like a 1953 Chevy truck. We spend a lot of time on the East coast and the squeaking was not attractive. Have you ever had a problem with broken springs?

    Pinbox area frame flex (BH 3670)

    We had our '07 Bighorn repaired last year in Elkhart and they did a great job. We stayed at the Red Roof Inn for a week while they worked on it. Since having the repairs done, gussets and such, we have put on thousands of miles with no problems. I think this is a great company and I think...

    ATF: Bighorn - To shock or not to shock

    I am planning a suspension upgrade for my '07 Bighorn 3055RL. The upgraded suspension comes with shocks and my rig did not. I am planning on Center Point suspension in the future and have gotten mixed messages about using shocks with it. I would like to know what a factory rep would have to say...

    ATF: Bighorn - Suspension upgrade?

    My thought is that if the tires are bouncing that means the springs are getting quite a workout in addition to the tires.It seems shocks are designed to dampen the spring return so that should make it easier on everything. The last spring failure I had was due to twin potholes in Antigonish...

    ATF: Bighorn - Suspension upgrade?

    I have a 2007 BH 3055RL and at that time they didn't have shocks. I have had a couple of spring failure incidents that have me thinking about a suspension upgrade to 7000 lb axles with shocks and the newer brakes. I would like to know if this is possible with the frame I have without having to...

    what tire?

    I thought of these because of a fascinating post I read at http://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/towing-hauling-rv-forum/215707-trailer-tires-explained.html This post rates your tires up at the top of the list. It's a really good read. I have had many "blown fenders" and now I think I know...

    what tire?

    I was wondering if anyone has any information on Maxii Tires specifically the ST235/80/R16 load range E. I would like to stay with an 80 and it seems the LT's are 235/85/R16 and this doesn't leave room for our leveling blocks. I understand that the Maxii has more reserve capacity than other ST's...

    Would you buy Heartland again? Best Florida dealer(s)?

    I would buy a Heartland again, in fact we are looking to buy a new rig next year and they are at the top of the list. We recently discovered a problem with our rig while we in Grand Rapids, MI. It was a problem with the construction so we drove down to Elkhart and had a customer rep look at it...

    Phil, I just got off the phone with Rhonda from Oak Plantation and we have a spot but she wouldn't know what number it was until tomorrow when she could look at the computer. Looking forward to this, it will be our first rally. :) Brad

    Frame to wall connection.

    We worked with Customer Support Rep. David Hilliker at the home office in Elkheart and Heartland stepped up and showed they were the company we thought they were. They fixed the problem in a timely manner at their expense and we are back on the road. While we were here we took the factory tour...

    Frame to wall connection.

    I have a 2007 Bighorn 3055RL and recently discovered a catastrophic problem with the frame. I was having my wheel bearings packed and when they finished they were lifting it up to remove it from the service bay and the pin box would lift up and the walls didn’t follow. The service tech removed...

    I have some question's about the pro's and con's of living full time in my HeartLand RV?

    My wife and I weren't sure if it was for us so we sold the house and put enough furnishings to start over in storage and hit the road. This was in '07 and we are still paying storage bills. Not everybody can do this, you need to really get along. We have Sat TV, Wireless Router with AT&T WiFi...

    Fireplace Y or N

    We ordered our 3055RL with the fireplace, my wife insisted. We both love it and it supplies us with most of the heat we use, we rarely use our furnace. Since we are full-timers I don't know where else we could hang our Christmas stockings.

    let's talk tires!

    I have had a few tire problems with the Chinese "tirebombs" exploding and blowing my fenders off. I have been careful with my tire pressure and since I use an LT I keep the speed to around 65 mph. The times I have had problems were when the temperature was over 90 degrees. I have heard that you...

    BH landing jack problems

    We had a problem with our jacks binding and then the clunk, clunk, clunk. We replaced the jacks with the Ultra Fab system and love it. It is so much easier to level the front.

    Lippert springs strike again

    Thank you for your input. The thing I didn't mention was the guy who made our new springs was the owner of the spring shop who worked mostly on heavy duty trucks. He changed things up a little bit. He added a leaf and used a longer second spring that reached to the hangers so if we had a problem...

    Lippert springs strike again

    I had my second set of springs break after hitting a pair of potholes in Antigonish, NS. Our 2007 Bighorn 3055 RL doesn't have shocks so I don't know if there was a problem with more fatigue over time. The guy at the shop who made the new ones said the design was very oldschool and hadn't been...
