Congratulations on your new RV and starting your RV adventures. Hope you love it as much as we do. This is a great forum to get answers to any questions you have. I've always gotten good advice from members of this forum whenever a post a question. Welcome! George & Linda Ryan Full-time...

I was having an issue with my water pump cycling off and on on my 3270rs fifth wheel. I thought it was a problem with my water pump, so I called Heartland and ordered a new one. However, after I installed the new pump, I still had the problem with it cycling off and on. I was stumped, so I...

I bought BFGoodrich All-Terrain radials for my Chevy 3500 HD dually to tow my 2016 Bighorn 3270rs. I got 30,000 miles on the truck and the tires are worn badly. Does anyone have suggestions for the best tires for my truck to tow my Bighorn, to get more mileage out of the tires? Thanks. George R

Thanks for this info. I just ordered one from Amazon. - - - Updated - - - Good info. Thanks!

I was inspecting the roof of my 2016 Bighorn 3270rs and found this vent that is missing a cover. It is on the front of the roof on passenger side. Does anyone know what this vent is for and where I could get a cover for it? Thanks for any help you can provide. George Ryan Full-time RVer...

Thanks. I'll take a look at that.

I have a double door Norcold refrigerator in my 2016 Bighorn 3270rs. In February I started full-timing, and since using the refrigerator all the time, I have noticed an issue that I'm hoping some of you can help me with. There is a drain cup in the back of the refrigerator that keeps filling...

I just bought and installed the TST507, based on recommendations. The install went smoothly and it's working well. It took a few minutes for the monitor to cycle through and detect the pressure and temp of each tire. But once it did that, I was a happy camper. Thanks, everyone, for...

Wow! I'll definitely be getting a TPMS!

What system did you use?

Thanks for all this good advice. Does anyone know how easy or difficult the TPMS are to install?

Is a tire monitoring system worth putting on my fifth wheel?

Since I don't plan on installing a washer/dryer in the bedroom closet, I'd like to modify that space with shelves. I'm thinking of adding adjustable tension shelves like the one shown in this link...

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences and wisdom with us newbies. I've started making reservations now for next winter.

I was wondering if full-timers usually make campsite reservations well ahead of time. My husband and I are retiring the end of the year and will start our full-time life style the beginning of next year. We prefer to stay in federal (ACOE, federal forest service, or BLM parks/land) or state...

I found out recently that Option Care has a contract with Medicare to administer IV infusions; the infusion is covered under Part B of Medicare, so Option Care will accept Medicare patients. Coram does not have a contract with Medicare, so they will not administer the IV infusion and will not...

I took my batteries out in the fall and failed to take note which wires go where. Is black the positive and white the negative? I have a 2016 Bighorn 3270rs.

Thanks for the tip. So much to figure out!

I have an update: I called another nationwide infusion company, Coram, just to check out another option. Coram told me that Medicare DOES NOT cover infusions that are given at ambulatory infusion centers--they only cover infusions given in an infusion center affiliated with a hospital, and the...

I called Option Care today and they said they would be able to accommodate my treatment. I'll work with the Chicago center (where my rheumatologist is located) and they will get my medication order from my rheumatologist. I’ll call the Chicago center when I'm on the road and tell them where I...

My wife & I plan to become full time RVers after we retire the end of the year. My wife has rheumatoid arthritis and needs to have medicine administered IV every eight weeks. Right now she has this done in our local hospital’s outpatient infusion center. But we would prefer not have to travel...

Re: Universal Docking System Holding Tank Valves Good to know. Thanks!

Re: Universal Docking System Holding Tank Valves What is a Flex Mend trap?

Re: Universal Docking System Holding Tank Valves Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions. Very helpful.

I have a 2016 Bighorn 3270rs. The holding tank valves in the universal docking system are extremely hard to pull out and push in. I sprayed both silicone and WD40 by the pull-outs, but that did not seem to help. Any suggestions on how to make the valves easier to maneuver? George & Linda...

This is great information. Good to know that it works great and it's better at picking up a signal than a cell phone. I'd be interested in knowing how it works in the super remote places. Please let me know. Thanks! Happy travels.

Thanks for this info. I was also looking at a gadget that boosts cell phone signals, but thought the onstar system would work just as well, and we would not have to use our cell phone data to connect to the internet. It's always good to have feedback from folks who have actually used the...

Our truck came with the onstar wifi equipment, but we have not activated it. Has anyone had experience using onstar wifi, and if so, how was the connectivity? George & Linda Along with Patches (Wire-haired fox terrier) & Licorice (Goldendoodle) 2016 Bighorn 3270rs

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new North Trail camper! We have a Bighorn and are very happy with the Heartland product. Wishing you many great adventures! George & Linda Along with Patches (Wire-haired fox terrier) & Licorice (Goldendoodle) 2016 Bighorn 3270rs

Re: Sofa recliner not working Never mind. I found a loose wire way in the back on the bottom. Took some maneuvering to reconnect it but it’s fixed now.

I have a 2016 Bighorn 3270rl and am having a problem with the dual sofa recliner. On the left side everything works: the recliner reclines, the massage & heat functions work, and the blue light is on. When I was reclining the right side of the sofa yesterday, suddenly the right side quit...

Thanks, everyone, for this helpful information!

Does anyone know the length of the 50 amp power cord for a 2016 Bighorn 3270rl?

That might work to tell them your rig is shorter, but not always. Last summer we reserved site 52 at JP Coleman state park in Mississippi. It was described as having a driveway of 50 feet, for a max trailer of 40 feet. Our rig is 36 feet, so we thought "no problem". When we got there, the...

If you stay at state parks, you can go to reserveamerica.com and type in the state you are interested in. On the left-hand column you can then select that you are looking for a RV site, and enter the length of your rig. You can also click on "more options" and enter what type of electric...

I'm thinking of purchasing the Yamaha EF2000iSv2 (2) Inverter Package w/ Sidewinder 30-Amp RV Parallel Cable Kit to run my 2016 Bighorn 3270rs fifth wheel when hookups are not available. Does anyone have any experience with these parallel running generators? I'm wondering how well they power...

Nice spreadsheet! Thanks for sharing it. We plan on being full-time rvers in a couple of years after we retire. This spreadsheet helps a lot with our planning.

It's a used unit, but it's in really great shape. General RV is taking care of the paperwork. They have certified that the unit was not in a natural disaster area.

I purchased a Bighorn 3270rs a couple of months ago from General RV in Huntley, IL. The Bighorn was originally at a General RV in Florida--that is where our salesperson found it for us. We liked the floor plan and it had all the features we were looking for, so General RV moved it up here for...

Welcome to the Heartland club. We're relatively new to the forum. Bought out Bighorn back in July of this year and are loving it. It's very comfortable and we are pleased with the craftsmanship. We plan on retiring in a few years ourselves, selling our home and becoming full time RVers...
