My questions probably pertain to my truck but here it goes. Were contemplating purchasing a 41' BH3750FL, this will be the biggest 5th wheel we've ever owned. I have a 2011 Chevy 1 ton diesel single rear wheel (non-dually) so do you think I have more camper than truck? We have has a 34' BH3010RE...

Good Day Folks!! I suppose this question has been asked a 100 times but what type of exterior wax do you use on your siding? I have a 2014 3010RE Big Horn, which I'm not even sure what type of siding is on the 3010. Thanks everyone, be safe!

In our 2014 3010RE Big Horn the fireplace has been operating properly but today when we turned it on you could see the heating element glow a bright orange and then the element and the blower fan shut off. The background "flames" still work. The element got so hot you couldn't touch the front of...

Good Day danemayer...so there is a vent somewhere on our 2014 BH? There almost has to be so the water pump can get water out of the tank. Then it is feasible to assume that excess water could flood the bottom of our unit though this vent.

WDK450...thanks for the rotten wood tip, I will keep this in mind. Did you notice if the fresh water tank has a vent on it and that's where your "leak" was coming from. It seems to me if your drawing water from the fresh water tank using the onboard water pump, you would need a vent, say on top...

Thank you all for making me feel better about the causes of our water over flow, I feel a lot better about how to fix it in the future if I need to. BUT...has anyone tried to adjust any of your slide outs? One side of my bedroom slide sticks out 1/2 inch further than the other and Don at...

We are under warranty, Don at Heartland, has been extremely helpful, he is sending me a replacement pump.

Thanks for the link for the manual, it did answer a few questions. Did you buy the Shurflo check valve or buy it at Lowes or Home Depot?

Very interesting, you surmised you fresh water tank overflowed at some point, doesn't your unit have an external overflow outlet spicket? My does but one time I had LOTS of what appeared to be fresh water pouring out of the bottom of our unit and the overflow spicket. I'm still not sure where...

I've been working with Don at the factory, who has been very helpful, on this puzzling issue. The fresh water tank will fill up and overflow on its own. Don sent us a Anderson valve to correct the problem but it didn't help. Any ideas? Also, have any readers attempted to adjust any of your...

Jim...thanks for the suggestions but the only one I haven't tried is tightening the ceiling fixtures which I will. Troubleshooting this issue on the Sundance I determined that the +12vdc was not being loaded down when I turned on the bedroom lights, bathroom lights or bathroom fan but I did...

Were having the same problem with our 2014 BH 3010RE as we had with our 2009 Sundance. When we turn on the bedroom lights or the welcome home light comes on we lose TV signals to both living room and bed room TV's. Some time ago I saw threads saying other Heartland owners were having the same...

Thanks everyone for your input. I keep water in the fresh water tank esp when we travel, so I'm now agreeing it is fresh water overflow, thanks again!!

During our trip from Jasper, AL to Marion, AR, we temp parked our 2013 Big Horn 3010RE at a slight angle with the exit door being the low side. We saw water coming out from under the slide out, behind the wheels, onto the ground and located under the reclining chairs. There is a blue water line...

We full time in our Big Horn so I wanted to make sure I wasn't over loading the tires. I weighted both fully loaded truck and camper and the total weight came in at 23,780 lbs. I weighted the fully loaded truck and it came in at 8,480 lbs. Subtracting the two leaves me with a camper weight of...
