    Tape on top of Slide-Out

    Ours also buckled on both slides so we had a mobile service tech check it out ( had hip replacement surgery so no going up there for me). When he started taking up the tape he found that water had gotten under the tape and the screws were shot and came off with the tape. Ended up removing all...

Mine had the money back guarrantee. My five years ran out in August so I sent in the paperwork for my money. Found out the guarantee...

    We are around the corner in Emerald Pointe Resort, been here since January. Fortunatly we have power but we have found that when it rains down here, it isn't anything like Michigan. It comes down hard and last for hours. As you said, today was picture perfect. Kids and grandkids arrive tomorrow...

    12 volt electric lights on door-side slide do not work

    Had the same problem with my BH2925. In my case the first light (one of the small metal lights) in the the slide was bad. Because it was dead the rest of the lights downstream would not work. Heartland sent me a new one and I replaced it and all started working. I did as Smokeybare suggested...

    Slide Issue

    Slide not level I had a similiar problem. In my case the roller brackets that are under the slide floor had come off (screws broken) causing the slide to not sit level. I fixed it myself but it is very difficult to reach that area and had to use a car screw jack under the slide to hold it up so...

    Firestone Air Lifts

    Hi, I have Firestone air bags on a 2006 f250 and with my Bighorn at 2600 lbs pin weight run about 22 lbs in the bags. I have seperate air lines and carry a inexpensive 12v compressor in case I need to change the pressure. Only issue I have with the two lines is that can be touchy to get the...

    Lights in Large Slide not working

    Same problem We had the same problem on our 2925.RK. Our lights are on a daisy chain and I found that the first light in the line (one of the small puck lights) had a short. Heartland sent a new one, I installed it and has been fine since then.

    Another New BH 3055 Owner

    Valve leaking My 2006 has a brass valve and was also strapped and screwed to the wall so had to take the entry closet (2925RK) apart to get at it. Also mine was leaking on the 'bad' side' so the water that was on the floor didn't smell good to say the least. The mobile RV tech put in a new...

    Tiki Village - Lakeland FL

    We have stayed in Zephryhills for the last two winters (Emerald Point RV Resort) and very happy with the area. Far enough from the major tourist and beach areas that it is reasonably quiet and traffic is not a problem but as stated earlier, not far from Tampa, Orlando and shopping (like Brandon...

    What is it - water leak?

    I have a 2006 2925 BH and had a water leak. There was water in the storage bay and a couple of times it was on the floor inside the coach at the front door. Once the water smelled like black water - not good. Anyway found two water lines that went up from the storage bay alongside the entry...

    Electrical Problem

    Electrical Problem Found Hi Jim, Thanks for the quick reply. Looking under the slide found both the 110v and 12v go into the slide at the front of the slide. The box under the blank plate is 110v only. The first fixture at the front of the slide is one of the little reading lights. Took that...

    Electrical Problem

    I have a 2925 Bighorn and we are in Florida for the winter. Tonight some of the 12 volt lights in the main slide have stopped working. The dining room light, wall sconce and the reading lights are dead. The paddle lights (I think that what they called) are working. Checked the fuse, no light and...
