    Front Landing Gear Stopped Working

    We've got a 2013 Bighorn 3585 RL Bruought trailer home today to prep for firs trip this year. Went to leave and jacks won't go up or down. Repair tech says check circuit breaker near pump. Do you see a circuit breaker in this picture?

    Diameter for 180 degree turn

    I like that idea - now to find the right parking lot. I did just find the following calculation for the turn (the diameter of the cul-de-sac is 90+ feet so I think it's doable). His example indicates a 53' trailer with a 45 degree cab angle requires a 94 foot diameter. Since both my truck and...

    Diameter for 180 degree turn

    We have a 3585RL 39'+. Vehicle is F350 with Reese hitch in shorter truck bed - so can't turn as tightly as others. Want to bring it home but exit would require using the circle at the end of the cul-de-sac. Assuming no vehicles parked in the cul-de-sac does anyone know the diameter the circle...

    Anderson switch setting - Sanitize/Winterize versus Normal

    What you say makes sense. I had the Anderson valve replaced last year when the original broke at the handle (that was a real wet mess) and now I'm wondering if it was installed correctly. I got water to the fixtures and to the HW heater with the pump off. At the end of the trip I winterized...

    Anderson switch setting - Sanitize/Winterize versus Normal

    What happens if you forget to turn the Anderson valve from Sanitize/Winterize to Normal and start using city water from hose? We have a 2013 Bighorn 3585RL. Only used trailer once this year and I forgot to change the Anderson valve position. I ran water through the lines to remove antifreeze...

    Hall Closet coming apart

    Thanks Dave. Rollers look OK to me. Picture is of the end unit closest to where closet is pulling out - the others look the same.

    Hall Closet coming apart

    We own a 2013 Bighorn 3585RL. The LR slide out is large with a double storage closet just before the BR door. We noticed that the cabinet is separating from the wall (see picture). The bottom of the cabinet is pulled out about one inch while the top is still flush to the wall. This seems to...

    Norcold 1210IM - How to adjust doors

    We've had this unit for 3 years. In the past year there has been condensation on the plastic panel between the door (dripping on to the wood below) and the left freezer gets to 0 degrees while the right only 20 degrees. Refrigerator section cools OK. I checked all the doors using the dollar...

    RV Storage - Chicago Suburbs

    We live in Naperville and our current storage yard in Bolingbrook is eliminating outdoor storage next spring. It's a bummer since it's only three miles from home. I've done the Google search looking as far west as Rochelle and as far south as Joliet. I thought about renting a space at a...

    Replacing Person Door

    Our trailer was broken into and I need to replace the door. It seems like it would be easy (three hinges and I believe three bolts per hinge). I'll want a new lock too, since although it still works it was damaged. I will call Heartland tomorrow to order the door. Potential issues - do the...

    Ford F-350 6.7 Diesel Failure

    A final update - the new long block was installed and the truck returned to us on June 13th. Only 100 miles of break-in but towed gently to Natural Bridge VA on 6/14. Everything seems fine, although I admit to waiting for something else to happen. I'll get over that. While we're here driving...

    Voyager Moisture Inside Camera

    Out 2 year old WVOS511 Voyager, which I use all the time while driving, has moisture inside the waterproof camera (LOL). I'm going to call ASA Electronics tomorrow but wonder if anyone else has had this experience and the out-of-warranty resolution. Thanks!

    Ford F-350 6.7 Diesel Failure

    They towed the truck and trailer together with one of the very large wreckers. It went fine. Jeff
