    LT tires or ST tires???

    Well, you wondered and now you know. I think it was about a 50-50 split. I switched to "G" rated and stayed with the ST and no more blowouts. So far anyway.

    No Cable or Antenna Reception In Bedroom

    Thanks for the tip. We do have two outlets in the bedroom so we'll try that as soon as we get it back on the road in a couple weeks.

    No Cable or Antenna Reception In Bedroom

    On our 2013 Bighorn, we have no cable or antenna reception in the bedroom. The living room works fine. We do have the Winegard Satellite dish installed on the roof, which was done by the dealer, and receive satellite on both TV's. We made sure the power booster was on and the TV tuned to...

    update one year later

    The key to getting your Level-up system fixed and working properly is to get it to Lippert. I went through three service facilities and six weeks in the shop and the system still would not level in the auto function. Most of the system was replaced to no avail. While at the National Rally this...

    Level-Up system contradiction from Lippert

    The service tech at my dealer used the level-up system to change all four of my tires. I will use it for a tire change should the need arise. The warning from Lippert is to cover them from a legal standpoint. It's like any jack you would use to raise your car or trailer. Always use a jack stand...

    Sounds like you had a safe trip from Indiana. Enjoyed meeting you folks at the Terre Haute KOA. Guess you took the heat with you, but you forgot the rain. We had plenty of that today. Safe travels home. John & Deb

    I've heard that Keystone was purchased by Thor, the parent company of Heartland. Can anyone validate this?

    Not sure where you will be parked, but I pulled out Tuesday morning from the IF area for a Lippert appointment and returned around 4pm with no problems. Be advised Lippert is very busy and parking is almost non-existent.

    2013 Goshen Rally - Vendor Specials for Rally Attendees

    Re: Goshen Rally - Vendor Specials for Rally Attendees > Under-Chassis Storage Boxes I seriously considering having the Mor/ryde Rubber Pinbox installed at the rally, but I know nothing about it other than what I've read. Will it reduce the "chucking"? Should I consider other options?

    Rear ladder unstable

    Most of the rattle in the bike racks comes from loose tolerances in the receiver. Try an "anti-wiggle" threaded locking hitch pin. Solid as a rock on 2" receivers.

    Bike Rack Hitch

    A word of caution on selecting a bike rack. Not all are designed or recommended for use on the rear of trailers. I had a rack on which the bikes are suspended by their cross member. As long as I used a gazillion bungies, it worked for awhile. Then on my last trip, California's great roadways...

    Filling fresh water tank when boondocking

    Suburban furnace not working

    I had the same symptoms on my Suburban furnace as you are describing. Turns out it was something called a "fan relay switch" located on the back of the furnace. The tech did a couple simple checks and found the problem quickly. After you've ruled out the obvious, you may want to let a service...

    Anyone tried a new CPE inverter yet?

    Federal Parks Access Pass

    I ran into a problem last year when trying to use my Access Pass in California at a Forest Service campground. Called Recreation.gov to make the reservation and they would not allow the 50% discount because the site had 30amp service. I explained the Forest Service policy, which states, "if the...

    how to get sevice work done at rally

    Does anyone know if Lippert is going to be at the Rally? I'm having more issues with my Level-up system and I'm frustrated with people working on it that don't have a clue what they are doing. Also, if we are in need of warranty work that may not fall under the guidelines of "minor", is there...

    Recliner chairs;

    Hi Ange: All of the complaints you speak about with regard to the "recliner chairs" are the same as I am experiencing; Hard to raise footrest, won't stay reclined, etc. I have pretty much learned to live with it, but I don't suffer from a bad back and have the strength and weight to force it to...

    Discussion about Convection Oven session during Goshen Rally

    I think people have to understand you'll never satisfy 100% of the needs 100% of the time, so shoot for a broad overview of how a convection works, how it is different and some real life experiences. Then throw in some recipies from the experienced Heartland folks. Since there are a number of...

    Lippert Level-Up System

    Hi Trace: This southwest trip has proved to be quite the adventure. I have become much more familiar with the Bighorn since seeing you in Quartzsite.

    Lippert Level-Up System

    Finally, after a total two months in the shop, the level-up system works as advertised. It is really slick. Not sure who to blame for the delay in finding and fixing the problem, Camping World or Lippert, but they ended up replacing the Keypad, Rear Sensor and finally the Brain. I do appreciate...

    Front Landing Gear Motor Problems

    Had the same problem on my 2007. I had a broken tooth in the gear box. Had it repaired and the problem continued. I believe there is some sort of clutch which allows for some slippage. Eventually added a second motor so each leg had its own motor. That solved all the problems. There is no way to...

    Bad Luck or Bad Products

    We decided to take the 5 month old Bighorn to Quartzsite, Az. for the big RV show and camp with some friends in the desert. We just got it out of the shop, where it sat for a month while trying to diagnose and fix the Lippert Level Up System. The 3010 model is always a big hit and we gave tours...
