Hi Everyone, Two years ago the factory recaulked my plastic frontcap to the fiberglass sides and now the caulk is giving up the ghost. I have several feet to recaulk. What would be wrong with using the best GE caulk with silicone? Thanks, Dave

This was my complaint no. 10. Could easily see the sag at the radius of overhang. Compare off and on the truck. Heartland made Lippert repair my frame on '09, 3055 in fall of 2010. Coach was out of warranty but frame wasn't. They replaced about the forward 10 feet of fg after removing the...

HI, My BH 3055 was delivered in late '08 with a crack in the glass of the shower door. The dealer offered to replace it but that is 40 miles each way and probably some time waiting in the lot. I looked at it closely and it appears that the bed (the wooden box the mattress sits on) has to be...

Had this happen one time. The water heater by-pass valve was turned to by-pass. Dave

This thread is a little stale but here is the follow-up from my trip to Alaska through Canada with my shotgun. Yes you do need paperwork. Mine was copied from the Canadian govt. site and filled out before I left home (3 copies required). Crossing the border at Sweetgrass, Montana, I gave...

While trying to stop the leaks on my water heater bypass valve, I ruined the plastic handle. I was unable to find a replacement and now, months later I cannot even find the handle. It was marked "B&B Molders". Their website seems to indicate that they are not retail. Where can I get a...

I have about 15,000 miles on my Bighorn. I noticed that the Trailair equalizers had some bad looking scrapes on their sides where they pivot on the hanger. Got the kit from Trailair for about $50 including tax. My helper and I jacked up one side and took off the wheels. All of the plastic...

I don't know how else to say it. I am away from home, in Palmer, Alaska. This morning my next door neighbor who has a 2011 Bighorn, a 4 slide model about 36 feet long, showed me the edges that are starting to disintegrate. I got some poor photos not sure if I can post them. He says Heartland...

So, if I am dry camping with my 1000 watt Honda generator, should I use a battery charger or just plug the big cable into the Honda? In my previous campers, the built-in charger was so slow, I had to use an external battery charger. Thanks

Hello, I want to take a shotgun to Alaska (bear protection) and I must cross Canada to get there. Has anyone actually done that? I have my Canadian forms filled out but there are several boxes to check regarding the reason for bringing in the firearm. I checked the "in transit" box. Should I...

I just got word from the repair tech. Cooling unit is bad. Requires replacement. Parts are ordered and will arrive when? Will install and do another 24 hour check "but don't expect to get it back before middle of next week." Well it is only a year and a half old, so the warranty should pay...

Hi Bill, Yes, I do the same when I can. Unfortunatly my driveway is so steep the trailer can't be leveled there. Just turning on the gas a few hours ahead of time can also help. Anyway, I will probably get the call from the tech in the morning.

Not on a slide. Is model RM 3962.

Hi Everyone, Left on a 200 mile trip to the lake last Thursday. Turned the fridge on as usual, expecting it to run fine but it did not. Got to the campground and it read 60 degrees. Got out the manuel, managed to find and check 2 fuses in the electronic panel. Both o.k. The "eyebrow" panel...

Hi All, This is a rant. '09 3055. Has about 6,000 miles and of course almost all on the interstates. Getting ready for a looong trip and pulled right-front wheel to examine brakes and bearings. Plenty of shoe lining there but little pieces of it are chunked out and the drum definitely needs...
