I have been remiss in not writing this sooner. I want to thank all the people at the Heartland Customer Service Center for their outstanding care and repairs done on our 2008 Bighorn 3400rl. From our first phone call David H, treated us with kindness and consideration. Arriving at the Customer...

Thanks for the great advice. I will take new images tomorrow as my first attempt doesn't show anything. Clear skies, Mark

We have been full timing in our 3400rl for six years and it has seen a lot of miles. While traveling from Rapid City to Wyoming I noticed that the driver side ,(actually about 2 feet back on the side from the cap), front of the cap had lifted up about 3/4 of an inch. Upon further inspection we...

Thanks so much for all the replies. It is the bulb seal and not the wiper seal. I had been spraying protectant on and we are fulltimers and this is our sixth year in it so I expected stuff to need replacing. Clear skies, Mark and Renita

Morning All! The rubber molding on my 3400rl 2008 Bighorn has deterioated and I need to replace it. We are fulltimers and so a local dealer is not an option. Does anyone know where I can buy the molding online?(Its the rubber molding that seals the slides when they are slid in and we are...

Thanks for all the responses. Everything was shot. We were lucky again and only 6 blocks from a welding shop. Arcrite. They odered and rebuilt our suspension system and we were only down for three days, we waited two for parts. Put in a five leaf spring system and raised the fifth wheel 1.5...

Yesterday we left Fulton Texas and I had checked the tires and underside and things looked ok. We stopped for the night in Del Rio and two of the springs had literally broken along with the bars that connect them to the trailairsuspension. Tire damage but they didn't go flat yet so we were lucky...

Well I finally just had to replace our kitchen faucet as it was barely working. (We have been fulltiming in our unit for 3.5 years). So anyway I went to Lowes and bought a Moen as others had and the intstallation was a breeze after I figured that I needed two couplers to attach the new hot and...

Last year I posted that our front landing gear failed in Pahrump, Nevada. The failure was preceded by a clicking sound as the clutch in the motor slipped and failed,(Of course the warranty had expired). The motor would run but the gear wouldn't turn. I next broke the front landing gear using the...

Great idea! I think I will retrofit my new one. Unfortunately the old one broke the manuel crank bar also so that ones toast.

Ok, so I called Venture and the people there were really nice and they sold me a new Venture motor 9000 pk for 125 plus ten bucks shipping. Got it in five days and it went in easy, only two bolts to attach and I connected the wiring and it worked! Yeah! Thanks again for all the help! Venture...

No kidding. So I get to Lake Havasu and I buy another jack at walmart and use them and the front jack manuel crank to easily raise the house(our fiver ) up and unhook. Worked like a charm and I felt good about the safety and not overstressing the landing gear box. Now to get the part!

So the tech comes out and replaces the gear box and gets ready to leave and I start the switch and the motor runs but the legs don't move. Darn he says I should have checked the motor too. Said it would take another week for the part. Took a ride around Pahrump and no one had the part and...

Thanks, I had hoped someone had come up with a replacement by now.
