Yes, the T-connector is at the end of the cylinder. If there is any movement, the opening in the frame sheers it off causing a leak. I added an extension to hopefully help if the cylinder becomes loose again.

I have had to replace the kitchen slide roller twice on my 2017 Bighorn 3270. It was not the J-38. The part I ordered from Heartland was: 0125984 : Roller - Slide Out Bracket - w/10" Grey Wheel

Replacing the hydraulic cylinder is doable if you decide that is what is needed. It is a messy job but this Lippert video helped me. https://support.lci1.com/videos/through-frame-slide-out-hydraulic-cylinder-replacement

We have our warranty from Wholesale Warranties. They have paid us thousands more than we paid for the warranty. That said, we full-time and have had many repairs.

My tank was filling on city water as well. Wasn't sure if it was the Anderson valve or the water pump. I keep a water pump as a spare and swapped it out. That stopped the fresh water tank from filling. I ordered a new "head" for the water pump that contains the check valve, replaced it on the...

One possibility for the furnace just blowing cold air is that the Sail Switch has failed. This switch, attached to the furnace itself, detects if the fan is blowing air. If it thinks it is not, it will not allow the burners to ignite. The part is inexpensive, and assuming that there is available...

When mine would work on gas but not electric I had to replace the electric element itself.

I had to replace my tank. Nothing I tried stopped the leak even though the crack was less than 2 inches. I was surprised at how difficult it was for the repair shop to make the connections to the new tank. If it is an Alpha tank, it is polyethylene. I contacted the company for specs, etc...

The thread that Bill included is very helpful. It has the Heartland part number and i was able to use the shims mentioned and did not have to jack up the slide. I have replaced two of these, in both cases it was the metal bracket that failed.

The gray tank (at least on our Bighorn) has two holes on the top. One hole is for the drain into and one for the vent to the roof. There is a rubber grommet that is placed in the hole to hold the pipes. To my knowledge they are not glued but just pushed into the grommet. You would be surprised...

Sorry I have been away from the computer for a few days. I agree with the others, that I would not glue the metal brackets to the wood. I used the "bent corners" where there was wood. I used gorilla epoxy glue to place the metal brackets against the corners where there is no wood but the...

I had the same problem. Everything found in hardware stores for sinks do not fit but I did get some small mending angles and just bent them much like the ones used when built. The silver ones are mine and the black ones were installed at build. The wood they are attached to is very soft. To my...

Slide the window up. Next slide the screen up the track a little so you can grab it better. Notice in the photo there is a "spring" on the left side of the screen. You want to push the screen toward the spring side and then pull out the screen from the track from the right side.

Your welcome. Glad you were able to fix it. I like the string idea on compressing the spring. I bought a second latch as a spare and hope I don't have to use it :)

Up. The rear large window shade on our rig especially. The movement causes additional stress on the shades and they can come crashing down. Ask me how I know.
