You should ONLY use a 2 inch receiver hitch for carrying bikes. As noted in previous post by Sengli, almost every bike rack manufacture will void any offered warranty if carried behind an RV. I also lost bikes using the factory supplied 1 1/4 inch factory supplied hitches that were the only...

Try looking inside your steps going up to the bedroom.

My wife and I pushed the carpet from the center with our hands to the swivel chair side under the slide carpet and tacked it down with several carpet tacks. That worked for us and was an easy fix.. We have a 2015 3010RE as you.

PastorMarkAG With you Bighorn RV, I would strongly recommend that you do not use the 1 1/4" hitch that Heartland offers as an option. They only offer 1 1/4 inch regardless if your rig is a Bighorn or Landmark. Dealers do whatever dealers do to make you happy at the time of purchase. They may...

CDN. I also have the exact same setup as you have now. I also put on a 2 inch hitch (pitching the 1 1/4" hitch from Heartland) and purchased the same 2" Swagman bike rack you have. I did this last summer after losing both of our bikes on the highway. However; We should not have to modify...

Not sure what happened to my last post so I'll ask the question again. While attending the RV Show last week in Tampa Florida, I noticed that Keystone Montana's have a 2 inch receiver hitch on the back for bike racks etc. that are rated at 300 lbs. Will Heartland start offering a 2 inch hitch...

We ordered a 3010RE in January 2014 and took delivery in March. They upgraded the axles on all units being built from Feb and on, so that's the reason for the increase to 15500 lbs max GVWR. Our unit weighed in empty from the factory with our options at 12070 lbs. We did not order the...

New Garmin GPS will be out in 2 weeks. RV770. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/570074

After going through 2 Norcold cooling units in 2 years (1 under warranty and the replacement Norcold NO warranty) I just replaced the cooling unit on the Norcold 1210 with the Amish cooling unit. Better design; warranty 3 years and better yet, great people to work with! Unlike Norcold these...

Will let you know Carl. I take it in on June 16. This will be the second replacement of the cooling unit on a 2014 Bighorn that's titled as a 2015. How's that speak for Norcold? Hopefully this will be the last. I can say for certain but I think their first replacement was a remanufactured...

Re: Norcold refrfegerator 1210 not cooling Hi Carl, thought I'd give you an update. I've decided to go with the Amish cooling unit for the Norcold 1210 refrigerator. I contacted JC Refrigeration Dutch Aire today in Shipshewana Indiana and set up an appointment at the factory for the...

Looking on the internet, this company has had alot of bad PR. Alot of complaints. Not sure about using Articold.

Re: Norcold refrfegerator 1210 not cooling FYI. Had the same problem 12 months ago and had to have the cooling unit replaced. Its now be 12 months and 8 days and have the same issue. This time there is yellow residual on the outside visable after removing outside panel. This is chromate, a...

Anyone with a Bighorn 3010RE measured their height without the front bedroom AC ?

Re: Question on cable slides - Bedroom Plus a surge protector question. Yes, have been using the 1.5" hitch with bike rack and 2 bikes. Would prefer 2" but that was not an option. Had a 1.5" on previous Crossroads Cruiser as well and used the same rack on that unit as well since 2007. Both...

Had to have mine replaced after the first 12 months. Same issues as mentioned.

If your refrig is located in a slideout you will have a fan on the condensor coil. These are small "pancake" type fans that are controlled by a thermostat that's attached to the condensor fins. Depending on size of fridge, you may have 1 or 2 fans. They will come on automatically from their...

Re: Bicycle Receiver (1-1/4") Option in Landmark - Please vote The problem with the 1 1/4 hitch for bikes is that no one makes a bike rack that's rv rated for an 1 1/4 inch. If you visit etrailer.com the ones that are rated for rv's/motorhomes are for 2 inch receiver hitches. If you want to...

When we ordered our new unit this was one option I gave alot of consideration to. If your buying off the lot and the RV has them then it's a no brainer. My decision was based on the R-values and added weight. I put the money on options that had more bang for the buck. They may help reduce...

Thought I'd pass along alittle helpful info. On my 2015 Bighorn, I have the BAL spare tire carrier underneath the rear frame. If you have the BAL style be sure to occasionally check the black knob release to ensure you can lower the spare tire. Just to check the air in the spare I recently...

I had the same problem on my 2015 3010 RE Bighorn. The problem is when they installed the window it went past the seal and the seal got pinched inside. Result was hard rain/washing left water on the rear counter inside. The solution from the factory was to take it in and have that large rear...

Jim, in my case no. The cooling unit was replaced but the baffling was correct and the Norcold double door fridge already has 2 condenser fans thermostatically controlled. There must be framing in the wall (vertical stud) that prevents the vent covers from being centered with the fridge being in...

Re: Need a norcold rep at rally Richard, I just went through the same issues you are having and was told the same thing. I had to have the cooling unit replaced after 12 months on a new BH3010 where the Norcold 2 door fridge is in the slide. The bottom and top vents are not centered over the...

This is another update to our previous posts on Norcold 1210 double door refrigerator and Dometic AC unit. We did get the AC replaced within 3 days using a mobile service while in Crystal River Florida. We only had to pay the mobile service charge of $95.00 and this covered both the AC unit...

It's been about 2 weeks since I posted about problems with my Norcold double door refrigerator cooling issues. The unit stopped cooling for about 5 days and then magically started cooling again. (refer to previous post in appliance section). Used a mobile service to troubleshoot issue with the...

Thought I'd pass on some info with problems with a Norcold model 1210 refrigerator. This problem has been posted by many before with the same issue. With our 2015 Bighorn 3010RE we just went past our 12 month of ownership and the refrigerator stopped cooling. About 2 weeks prior we noticed we...

Look inside entry door jam. Yellow sticker there will show total weight with all options as it was built. Estimate 1500 to 2000 lbs added weight you may add, then calculate about 20% of that total being on the pin. That is an estimate. Could be aliitle less than 20 % or alittle more. Only...

Aerospace 303. agree

Sitting on the stool, right side on the wall. Perfect! That's where we mounted ours. Agree with both posts below.

http://www.truckutv.com/?p=3588 You can watch using the link above. I agree with Don with using a plumb bob from the center of the pin on the king pin and measuring back to the front tires. The shops basically use a laser to shoot the distance.

That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the photo!

Gaffer I agree. I have not had to remove the top wood trim but maybe someone has and can post some info on how to do it. Seems like a strange place to put a motor with no access.

That's exactly what its for. It is used on the electric bedroom slide motor made by Bal Accu Slide. Getting to that motor is another story.

Mike, I was told the same. Tool is for the electric slide in Bighorn bedroom. (May also work on Hyd pump as well) Did they show you the panel that has to be removed for the slide motor? Is it the wood trim/header across the top of the slide? If so, how do you get it off? Thanks

I too was told approx. 400 lbs. I did not order the double pane because of the low R value and added weight. We did order the Yeti package and have been in Michigan in the low teens. We have not had any problems, however we have added a 75 watt lamp in the UDC area and a 100 watt lamp over...

2000 Watt Honda or Yamaha generator will work fine for what your looking for. Light weight and don't take up much room. When your running you generator the battery will be charging through your power converter. It will run your lights and refrig. You can run your hot water heater on propane...

I know a lot of folks out there use the 6 point level up with tires off the ground or barely touching the ground when level. With the costs associated with the 6 point level up, one would expect that the system was designed to perform with levelling the coach with the tires on or off the ground...

Regular chocks yes, from a safety stand point. We had used X chocks on our past unit and they work great but since having the 6 point level up X chocks are not needed.

We use either an electric heater or the fireplace in the living room area during the day when the outside temps are above freezing. During the night when temps are expected to go below 32, we leave 1 electric heater on the low setting (750 watts) and have the furnace set at 68 degrees. If you...

If you want the functionality of a DVR you can purchase any external hard drive from stores like Staples/Office Max etc. Cost about $70 for a 1 terabyte hard drive. (you don't need one that big but you can record a lot of programs and in HD) It is a very simple hookup on the back of your...
