    Low Voltage Electrical Humor

    I would disconnect the batteries and check you wiring, looks like you have a glowing red nut. Are you sure you connected the wires right? You also say that’s a ground bar in your picture, I would question if that was a ground bar.

    Carry Out G2 vs Tripod Mounted Satellite dish

    We switched from Direct TV to Dish a year ago and there is a major improvement in the picture. We have one of the original Carryouts so we were able to switch to Dish just by changing some DIP switches. The dish is mounted on the back ladder so we can move it to get clear sky. We average moving...

    2018 Bighorn 3970RD - 2 in. Receiver Hitch

    That Curt hitch is rated at 500 lbs. The hitch kit comes with its own brackets that has nothing to do with the Lippert from the factory brackets. The hitch can be bolted or welded on. I carried an electric wheel chair 5,000 miles with no problem from the hitch, but the chair platform was not...

    2018 Bighorn 3970RD - 2 in. Receiver Hitch

    I installed the same receiver last year. While in Goshen last summer I took the cross member off and had two additional 2” sockets welded on. Three 2” sockets really stabilizes the lot. Will, did you leave the Lippert hitch brackets on, it’s hard to tell from the picture. I left the Lippert...

    2018 Bighorn Slideout Seal picture - Question

    I had the same problem with my 2016 and it looked good during the PDI, but it started to tear as the wall was brought in and out.

    What did you do to your camper today?

    I re-keyed the outside cabinet locks @ $18 each. I dropped the four locks off at a local locksmith and they were done in one day and are keyed the same.

    Bighorn full body paint is back. I talked to Tom Montague at the Tampa Show and he said that you can again order a Bighorn with full body paint and the brochures are printed with the full body paint option of black/red or black/tan. This is great news, thanks Heartland, thanks Tom.
