It has been a while since we traded in our Big Horn. I have noticed in north and central California a decreasing amount of Heartland products. Then this last trip we saw just one. Along with very few Keystone products as well. We do see a lot of Class B and C's though. Perhaps it is a...

I, do to health problems, now have a SOB Class A diesel pusher. Mine does not have the power reel. I miss the power reel a lot. Well worth replacing. The cost is in the noise considering the total cost of your rig. Now the only problem I had with my power reel was the cable screws loosing...

Look up the Load/Pressure chart for your tires. Select the tire type and then select the tire size. This will give you the weight rating at the psi. Look at the load rating for the tire at 80 PSI. You may need a really good flashlight and a rag to find the PSI rating on the rim. I removed, when...

Do you run the exhaust vent fan? It can actually pull some of that some poop tank odor out when you flush.

One thing, we had both problems and employed both solutions. The big "BUT" do not purchase the cheep studor valve. The $35 - $40 dollor whit one is the one you want. Not the black $7 - $10 dollar one. The cheep one has a rubber flap to seal and the other uses a spring.

Do you have a light under your steps? On our Big Horn, it took six months until I found out that an unmarked switch turned the under the step on and off.

It may also be a coax connector that has the shield touching the center signal wire. It only takes one thin little wire to short the signal. You should have gotten a coax wiring diagram with your documentation. If not, ask Heartland to send you a PDF of it. That is one drawing that they...

A better tool for the job, for a price, is this: Shot/Open finder

The factory, Heartland, does not stock parts for repairs. They like auto manufactures are on a on time parts delivery to match production. So when a part is needed, they place a new order for your repair. When the manufacture of the part finally gets to that order, then they are built. Your...

Maybe I am full of prunes on this. I enlarged the pic and then realized that the bottom is a 12V plug socket.

As far as the red button, it turns on your over the air antenna amplifier. For park cable the amplifier needs to be off.

Do you have slide toppers? If not, the sound with rain is very loud. Rain that hit our Big Horn roof was not so bad. The slides were more than what we could take so we got slide toppers. Realy helped a lot with the sound made by the rain.

Did you report this to the NHTSA, (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)? Enough reports will force a recall.

I had one that was incredibly tight, but it did come out. Most of the others were easy to remove.
