I get no response from Archie at Andersen Hitches via email and am left wondering if this benefit is still in place?

After filling my fresh water tank to sanitize I noticed water leaking from under my chloroplast and by the time I started dropping it to take a look the plastic elbow fitting between the fresh water tank and the gravity fresh water fill hose just split in two in the middle of the elbow. Tank...

Once again Heartland goes the extra mile for me. I'm a customer for life. Details follow: Last August Heartland arranged to have Fife RV Center in Tacoma, WA perform the warranty TSB work on my two Dometic Blizzard A/Cs. I also had some minor repairs on my Norcold performed on the same...

Many good folks here answered my questions for this little project and I found various install posts with pictures helpful. Here's a quick view of my install. I went with a combo metal and flex line kit so I could still drop the chloroplast if needed for maintenance without always having to...

Over the last few weeks I've noticed that my Level Up will trip an auto reset mini-circuit breaker.. as the power to the Level Up display comes back on after about 15 seconds. This has happened once in cool weather with shore power plugged in, but more often with no shore power plugged in. I...

I'm getting a few small rock chips on my front cap and I'm wondering if the darker grey area on my 2016 Bighorn 3160EL is paint on top of the gelcoat or part of a large decal? I assume I will be using touch up paint either way to maintain?

SOLVED. Truck battery drain when 5ver connected? Something is going on with my trailer charging connection... A little background might help: I have a 2011 F350 6.7 with Ford's OEM in-bed 5th wheel receptacle wiring and hitch. I recently started my truck after being parked beside the...

I aired up my 4 trailer wheels to exactly 110 psi. I was checking psi with my two different truck tire gauges. Those gauges agreed within a 1 lb. I screwed my new TST sensors on and they are reading 2 tires at 106 and 2 tires at 105. I lost virtually zero air installing the sensors...

Just checked my spare tire on my new Bighorn. It is mounted underneath on the spare tire carrier. I'm looking for an easy and proven way to check and/or add air without dropping the spare on the carrier. First thing I noticed is the tire is mounted with the valve stem facing the underbelly so...

Had my new Bighorn in the driveway for a couple weeks to get "glamping-ready". Thought I would share a few mods copied off many on this forum. Starting with an "original" piece of work: Upgrade the laundry/pantry closet with real shelving for maximum grub storage. Before After The...

I have a 2016 Bighorn and would like to wire my TPMS repeater in or near the front storage compartment. Like my rear camera I only want the TPMS repeater on when I'm running down the road with lights on... I took a look and did not find any access to wires for clearance/running lights...

I'm afraid I will break my exterior microwave vent so I'm asking the silly question first. I was told to push "up" on the two tabs at the base of the vent, but the vent cover does not release. Is that correct? How much force is used? Thanks Kurt.

Any quick fixes? Fuse checked. Batter switch on. Have plenty of volts. Saw this work fine at the Pdi and no dragging it back and would like some heat for the night! Kurt

Sometime during the 2016 production run of Bighorn's (and presumably Landmark and Big Country) Heartland eliminated the Linc IDS Touch Screen Remote, the wireless Level-Up controller and the multi-function wireless controller used for slides and lights. That didn't seem to get a lot of press...

Yesterday I performed my Bighorn 3160EL PDI at Pete's RV in Indiana. I'm sharing this just in case it helps others. My PDI took most of the day and kudus to Pete's for setting me up with power, water, etc in a location I could run everything and exercise all slides and awnings. I tested and...

So I'm flying out to Pete's RV next Wednesday to perform a PDI on my new 3160EL. Right after that I'm headed out of the country for a month so this is my only chance to uncover any issues at the dealer and get them fixed while I am gone. When I return I'll get the trailer delivered out west...

This is the build week for my 3160EL. I was told by salesman a Bighorn is built in two days!? Really?? Shoot, I wish they would relax and take 3 or 4 days to get everything perfect... If true I'm guessing they have tons of components pre-rigged and two days is more like the assembly timeline?

I need to grab 4-5 feet of 6/4 SO wire for installation of my HW50C in a Bighorn 3160EL. Home Depot has 6/4 SOOW rated at "45 amps" and Lowes has 6/4 SOOW rated at "36 amps per conductor". Will either work for my install? Note: I was a little surprised to see a cable rating below 50 amps...

The 3160EL I have on order has a multi-purpose pantry/washer/dryer closet to the right of the refer. I'm tapping into the experience pool here to gather ideas on how to better use this space for 100% pantry. We won't be installing a washer/dryer. As you can see below the closet comes from...

Yep. Only took me three years of waiting and researching to pull the trigger. We are finally empty nesters and now have more time to travel and see the country. I owe many, many people on this forum a heartfelt THANK YOU! for helping educate me along the way. My questions won't end, but I...

Getting ready to order a new Bighorn and expect to use a couple of 2K Hondas when dry camping (10-15% of the time). Pretty unlikely I'll ever want a Onan LP up front. Is there still a compelling reason to get the Gen Prep option? If ordered gen prep I would probably ask for the steel box...

Will be ordering a new 5ver and pouring over options. Leaning towards 3270RS. Have some questions for owners: 1) If I plan to use a pair of portable 2K gas generators when infrequently dry camping should I get the Gen Prep or not? Any increased storage without it? Any advantage with built...

I was camping last week at a state park with shore power connected. In the evenings I could hear the converter/charger fan come on and the interior lights would get brighter and remain brighter for about 30 seconds... until the converter/charger cycled off. This would repeat about every 20-25...

I just sold our current 5ver (32') and I am considering a new Grand Canyon with published length of 38'8". I'd like to know what the length of the trailer is measured from the back of the rear wheel to the rear bumper? That is the rear overhang that would usually stick out over the rear wheel...

Some new factory options for brake/suspension/tires to consider when ordering.... I'm trying to balance the bang for the buck on a Grand Canyon order and would appreciate some help/insights. First, I'm very interested the disc brake option, but I did not find specific information on the...

Trying to figure out when this option makes best sense and the various tradeoffs... Beyond more space, what utility does the Residential Fridge option over the typical 4 door LP/DC/AC fridge in Hearland's higher end 5vers? Money aside, when would you choose it and when should you stick with...

Didn't see this covered elsewhere... The Heartland website is showing a new Bighorn 3160 Elite (not to be confused with the 3260 Elite). The 3160 is a foot shorter but has a higher GVWR of 15,500 vs the 14,000 GVWR of the longer 3260. Makes me wonder if the specs are correct on both...

Sort of an ask the factory question, but from a prospective owner regarding a new Landmark model... The Heartland Facebook page made the new Landmark Monterey model announcement late last year and Heartland answers to the comments/questions indicated the first unit would go into production Jan...

What is this exactly? and what comes standard? Thanks Kurt

Not sure where to post this as it is a cross brand comparison of two similar Heartland products. Trying here first, but moderators may decide to move to Ask The Factory... I am struggling to understand what is behind the difference in rated dry weights Heartland advertises for two models with...
