Perfect! Thanks so much.

Our new 3160 is stuck at the dealer getting work done. It has LED lighting in the coach, over the front door, and under the awning. However, all of the lights in the basement, front compartment, universal docking compartment, and outside are standard RV incandescent lights. Does anyone know the...

Are you sure? Somehow I don't think Heartland works that way. They want to keep their line running.

Sadly, I think you have it right. What concerns me is the prevailing attitude that we should expect low quality. You are right that given the current demand and overall lack of commitment to quality, we will continue to see obvious quality problems in our new coaches. Should we expect...

They missed a lot on our coach. Has anyone ever received a defect free coach from Heartland?

In fairness, the frame wasn't totally unpainted. They missed the axles and some of the center. Rust formed. It surprised our dealer too. I think that the inspection process in the plant needs some serious work. Our issues weren't subtle at all. The pantry/laundry door wouldn't latch, neither...

I didn't realize that the black flush has an anti-siphon valve. I have one that I bought and attach to the flush hose. It can't hurt to have two, I guess.

We are heading back to Yellowstone this year. We will buy some "bear spray". It's extra strong pepper spray and will do the job if a bear attacks. Mountain lions almost never attack humans, but if one does go after you, you better have your gun drawn and be a **** good shot. They move very fast...

For the record, I don't carry any firearms. I do wonder at this post. Would you really kill someone because he was stealing your barbecue? Even grand theft doesn't carry the death sentence. This thread is very interesting. Here in Washington a carry permit is available if you don't have a...

I've always gone with the theory that if you buy from the largest dealer around you have a better chance of getting results. Fife RV is Washington's largest RV dealer. You don't get there by giving bad service. This is our second RV from them and they continue to take very good care of us.

I have the companion with no slider. I'm new to it too so I don't know how good a decision I made. Our 5ver is a Bighorn with a patented curved front that the manufacturer says I can make an 88 degree turn with my short bed. That seems like enough to me.

Thanks so much! By the way, if you get the ACE locks, they sell a backing plate that will cover some of that damage. I am off to order my locks! Thanks.

The slam doors I was told during my walkthrough are the 751's. I will verify, but I am pretty sure that's true. I know that the little plastic door on the cord retract is not secure in any way. I just want to avoid using 2 keys. In my last TT the proliferation of keys drove us nuts. This time I...

We want to replace our CH751 cam locks. I can't believe Heartland uses them. Even our inexpensive Kodiak used G locks. Anyway, our coach is at the dealer for a while. I figure that while waiting for the weather to dry up (our yard is flooded where we store the coach) I could order new cam locks...

UPDATE I spoke with HL customer service. Boy am I impressed! Two good things: the first is that my dealer realized that the front door light should be motion sensing and had already ordered a replacement (unfortunately wrong part number, customer service is correcting). Cust svc said that the...

Thanks. I will buy a RV Lock. Tomorrow I will call cust. WBC.

We did our walk through on our 2014 BH 3160 last weekend. Some features appear to be missing based on what my understanding of what is included: No keyless entry. I thought a combination door lock is part of the package. No motion-sensing entry light over the door. Just a LED strip with no...

I may have this all wrong, but in terms of high speed tires for sports cars as well as luxury cars, as the sidewall height is reduced (low profile), the sidewall stiffness is increased. This reduces flex and heating, but has the penalty of a harsher ride. If the same rules apply to ST tires, if...

Given that the coach has a high profile bedroom AC (both AC's are black on a white trailer - strange), is there any way to confirm where the cables are buried in the roof?

It's possible, but massively surprising. My coach was built at the end of January. Not much I can do about it, but it disappoints me that it isn't there. It is really needed.

This is our second RV from Fife RV. They have always gone above and beyond for us.

Our dealer is great. All will be fixed. I have confidence in them.

is is that really my job? I spent a ton of money on a brand new Bighorn. Am I being unreasonable to expect the doors to close? I am sure that your suggestion could work. I may be funny that way, but I expect the largest purchase I have made in my life to be as perfect as possible. I certainly...

We had a few issues that forced us to leave the coach at the dealer. Only one problem was serious, but the others are things that even a cursory inspection would hav revealed. Here are the most serious: Black tank drain valve spongy control and appears to be binding. This requires the belly...

We did our PDI and had a chance to figure out the mysterious bedroom closet wiring. It turns out the antenna power booster is in the closet. The two RG6 that are jumpered connect the antenna to the bedroom TV. The remaining RG 6 jack appears to be the sat feed from the basement. There is no HDMI...

I just bought a Sewer Solution from them. Best price and very good service.

We just bought a 3160 el. The weight increase is due to 7,000 lb axles replacing the lighter 6,000 lb ones in the spec.

Our 2014 3160 was built the end of January. I wonder if there are any changes.

When we had our travel trailer we used 4 x 6 board under the pads for the jacks. Our new coach has the 6 point auto leveling. Should we put something under the jack pads? If so, what? thanks

We just bought a Bighorn. Our dealer's service manager told us that not one of the Bighorns they have sold in the last three years have come back for warranty service. This is the largest RV dealer in Washington. That is good enough for me.

Take a look at the HTC Windows phone. I love it.

The only way I know to add more HDMI is to get a receiver/control center and let it feed the tv.

This is our second camper from them. Jim is really great. He is the reason we bought the 3160 from Fife. We will pick up a couple of Mountain Dews on the way to get our truck today. He is installing the hitch.

Thanks, Dane. That's what I thought too. I am hoping someone from Heartland will reply so that I can use the post (or hopefully a call from the factory to the dealer) to require the dealer to fix this issue. Since he hasn't done his PDI yet, maybe it will be corrected before I go back next week.

As I said in my question, the trailer is at the dealer's shop. I visited it there today. I can't take pictures or change anything. It is 25 miles away. I just want to confirm that we don't inherit a problem caused by improper use of the 6 way leveling system. I also don't understand how the...

X3. Just put it in tow/haul and the computer will take care of it. If you downshift on hills (going down, let the computer take you up), in tow/haul mode you get the compression braking as well. Cruise control is programmed to do all that for you in tow/haul. It will stop working if the...

We visited ours at the dealer today. It's still waiting for slide toppers and a new controller for the auto leveling. Our plan is to get it next Saturday. Can't wait.

Our 3160 is still at the dealer waiting for a slide topper. We were there today and had to visit it. I noticed that the trailer was leveled and the curbside wheels were off the ground a bit. I know this is ok, but I also noticed that the center jacks were not touching the ground on either side...

While we have only one sewer line, we share the issue of a very low outlet. Thanks for the Sewer Solutions discussion. It solves our problem nicely. I have ordered one today.

Thanks so much for pointing this out. I checked my receivers, and sure enough they too work on RF. DirecTV still insists that only the Genie will do RF. Thanks to your discovery, we now know that is wrong and you have saved me work I no longer have to do. Thank you!
