I am a big dry camper, if your not this may not be of interest to you. I asked the dealer to call me when he had the belly off so I could see what was going on. He did and I went yesterday. The reason is I could put 20 gal. in the tank and nothing would come out. Coach as level as I good get it. Put in another 15 and it was just enough to fill the Hot water tank, but nothing left for use. So I had 35 gal in the Bighorn and could use none. Thats about 250 lbs. of unusable weight! I found that the tank is like a huge flat pancake. Very wide and long but not too deep. Even if you think your rig is level only 1/2 inch lower on the door side and that 20 gal is going that direction. The tank outlet is on the off door side so no water reaches that area. The service rep came up with the idea to "shim" the door side of the tank up so that the water will try run to the off door side. A simple but brilliant idea to an aggravating situation. He suggested that I also could level the trailer with the door side a little higher. The head of the bed is on the off door side so I wasn't really into that idea. I still may not be able to use all the water but 35 gal in and none out was a little ridiculous.
