Drove up to Chico, CA today and had our new, larger fuel tank installed at Transfer Flow. Looking through the material that they sent home with us, they are strongly suggesting that Killem Biocide or any quality biocede be added to each tank at fill up. We’re not familiar with biocides and have...

RV Lock is having a Memorial Day sale that I would like to take advantage of but we are out of town and not able look at the Big Horn before the sale is over. We have a 2017 Big Horn 3160 EL. If you have the locks, all advice is welcome. Does anyone know how thick the baggage doors are?? And...

As owners of a 2017 Big Horn, we are proud of our unit and encourage our friends to consider Big Horn as they shop. We attended a RV show yesterday, a manufacturer show at that, and I left a very disappointed. If I were currently shopping for a Big Horn I would probably be wondering why? The...

We are having an issue with our theater seating in our 2017 BH 3160el. Heartland is being great about replacing it, but due to a color change they want to change out the theater seating AND the sofa. I can really appreciate that. The issue is that they no longer offer our color (Buckskin) and...

We have a list of four somewhat major (to us) upgrades we would like to do to the truck and trailer. Trying to do one every six to 12 months. So I asked Hubby this morning what he would like to plan for next. He really would like a larger fuel tank. Our 2013 Ford F350 only has a 27 gallon...

I find it fascinating to see how many users are on this forum at any one time. This is the current stat: There are currently 735 users online. 116 members and 619 guests Most users ever online was 4,872, 11-25-2015 at 06:41 PM. Question....I've been wanting to ask this for a while. What the...

Have any of you Ford owners gotten this dash message "wiring fault on trailer"? It came on for a few seconds today and then off. Ironically it was as we were driving home from the dealer after they had the Big Horn a month for warranty work. Haven't looked in the Ford owner's manual yet...

I'd love to perk up the kitchen and bath with some tile accents, especially after I saw what some of you have done in your units. Rich says that rally we attended is costing him money in more ways than one! Anyway...are most of you using the vinyl self stick? I thought what I was seeing was...

Do most of you grease your pin regularly? And if so which grease are you using? What's the grease of choice? Sandy

Hubby and I are planning a trip to Arizona in March to enjoy a bit of Spring Training. The plan is to split the week between Vegas and the Scottsdale area. We currently have tickets for one game and hope to get one or two more as they go on sale. Any suggestions on parks in the area would be...

Now that we'll have our BH back from its warranty repairs I was starting to plan a few weekend trips. One of our favorite spots in our Class C had been the Coloma Resort. Went to make a reservation and saw that the one lane bridge over the river has a height clearance of 13'6". Ugh...

Are they still doing these? We had one with our FMCA membership and looking at older threads it looks like Heartland did/does too??? We got a Heartland sticker and name badges with our membership materials but not a plaque and bracket for the unit. Is there a way to order one? Didn't see...

We a spent a fun filled weekend camping in our friends barn on our "shakedown" trip! Actually, we had a a great time and lots of thing got done. Moved everything in from our old motor home and created a new, comfy home on wheels. Storage is amazing. Hubby is worried because he saw me eyeing...

Well, almost! The order was confirmed on June 15 and we got the call today that our Big Horn is at the dealer!! So I've printed out the predelivery inspection sheet that Oregon Camper had made available, but is there anything else I should know? Anything else I should be thinking about? We...

Why would Heartland create a lower level Big Horn instead of creating a new line of product? And is it really new or is it one of the other lines being branded with the Big Horn name to give them a larger marketing presence? Could a "Landmark 182.5" be just around the corner?? Lol...

The amount of boxes in my garage from Amazon and CW is telling me that I'm pretty much shopped out. Now it's time to start thinking about storage! In our Class C we used mostly clear plastic containers. Plan is to do the same on our new unit. I've seen some containers I like better than our...

On our pilgrimage to Camping World today we stopped by our dealer to take a few measurements and dream a bit. One thing I was looking for was the location of the antenna crank as I wanted to take advantage of the sale price of the King Jack. Walking from unit to unit I see the crank is above...

We are going to be looking a 2013 Ford F350 tomorrow. Super low mileage and loaded! Looks like it might be just what we are looking for (excepted we really wanted a GMC :) ) Question...The truck has the puck system and the owner had Ford install the hitch. He's not sure of the brand, but says...

Since it appears that adding a receiver for a bike rack to the back of the Big Horn will void the warranty, how do most of you carry your bikes? Are you just putting them in the back of your truck? We didn't go with the small receiver Heartland offered, since it didn't fit most of the racks...

After a long, sometimes frustrating, search we finally placed our order for a new Big Horn 3160el. The dealer sent me a text on June 15 that the order was at the factory!! So what's next? Should I expect any communication from the factory or dealer prior to delivery? Or will I just get a...

Thought I'd save a few bucks and get a nice little TV at Costco for the bedroom. Had other places I could put those dollars. But now I'm wondering, is everything prewired for the TV in the bedroom? Cable hook ups, electrical, mounting bracket, straps? Not seeing it in the brochure. Wondering...

Been reading about the Comfort Ride hitch in the new Trailer Life. Anyone have one or familiar with it? They specifically write about model 245 which uses air cells. Thanks, Rich

One of the factors that has delayed our purchase is that we currently have a unit to sell/trade. Ideally we will sell the unit, but we have considered a trade-in possibility. I have access to both the retail and wholesale NADA Guides so I'm aware of the current values. We have a low mileage...

I've watched a recent episode of Goin' RV multiple times trying to figure out which campground they are staying in at the end of the show. Any ideas? They are obviously on the coast or an inland waterway. Looks a bit like Pismo, but I don't know of any that have waterfront camping. I'm...

My wife and I have been dreaming of purchasing a new BH3160 this fall. A big stumbling block has been that we currently own (and owe on) a Class C. This weekend we saw a used BH 3185. Not quite the unit of our dreams, but comes close. Big issue is that it doesn't have an auto leveling system...
