Thanks Nabo, I will check into it. Enjoy your new LM. Lakeside

Need brown paint and white paint to cover two separate rock chips on front of our BH cap. We have a 2014 BH #3685RL manufactured end of March 2013. It has a brown front over the standard white. Where might I purchase a couple tubes of paint that matches my colors? Thanks. Lakeside

Thank you Dan. Lakeside

On our ordered new 2014 Bighorn 3685RL 5er, next to the TV booster/antenna/satellite plates in the front closet I have located a wire with a male 6 point plug on the end. The wire appears factory installed and ready for connection. Markings on the wire are as follows: #LL84201, CSA, AWM, 80...

Great idea. I will follow your directions. Thank you JohnDar. Lakeside

Great Idea. I will add this to JohnDar's inter tube method. Between both of them, I should be in better shape during wet road trips. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Lakeside

Thank you. I will try to locate JohnDar for more information. Lakeside

Thank you folks for all the informative answers. Lakeside

After driving south 175 miles in heavy rain we stopped for lunch. I noticed clear water flowing out between the bottom membrane and the bottom of frame rails on both sides of the 5er directly over the wheels (New 2014 Bighorn #3685RL). The membrane was sagging down as if it had extra weight...

New 2014 Bighorn with 5000 miles on unit. Traveling over the South Carolina I-95 the trailer suspension went squeak, squeak every time there was a road seem or a bump that worked the RV suspension. Seems a little bit early for squeaks? I sprayed HD silicone and then later WD-40 on every moving...

Thanks. I will order one today. Lakeside

Thanks for the note of caution. Where does one purchase a water meter as you mentioned in your post. Lakeside

OPer here..... Please call me dummy!!!!!!!!!!! I just went out and looked at the spot over the rear jack stabilizer where I saw the water pouring out. I found a 3/8” white plastic pipe nipple. Evidently when I saw the water pour out, I thought I had burst the FW tank. I had no clue that...

I kind of tap danced around my real concern in the O.P. What happens when a FW tank is over filled if no water comes out of the overflow drain? Will the tank rupture or am I thinking too deep here? Are there two overflow tubes on Bighorn FW tanks? Lakeside

Sorry this is long, but I feel I need to explain in detail. Packed for trip, hooked up, and filled FW tank for the first time for a 5 night dry camping trip. Heartland says FW capacity for Bighorn 3685RL is 72 gallons (12 in H2O heater and 60 in FW tank). H20 tank is full from a summer of...

Dane, I was away from the RV working at another site and the DW was home (not at RV) for those 3 days. The meter had just been read before we left and I read it when we got back. No other usage over what was in my original post. It seems from what others have posted, that we are in the ball...

New 2014 Bighorn 5er running a Norcold 1200 side by side refrigerator on AC, converter/charger for two 12V batteries, and the normal ghost draw on a LPG/CO2 sensor used 30KWs in a 72 hour period (3 full days), or 10 KWs per day. No other AC usage in the unit over this 3 day period. Does anyone...

OP here. I just returned from the campground where I fixed the tail light issue. The chrome trim rings around the taillight lens popped right off just like a hub cap pops off a wheel after applying a little pressure. It makes a snapping sound and one might think something is breaking, but the...

These are pictures of my tail lights. I am OP for this topic. Lakeside

So many great answers here on this forum. JMZRATZ..thank you. I thought this was the way to remove the chrome trim ring, but did not dare for fear of snapping something off and breaking it. You have given me the confidence that I need to apply a little more pressure to the trim ring. I will not...

We have a 2014 Bighorn 3685RL and I need to remove the tail light lenses cover to replace a bulb and can see NO visible screws or fasteners holding the lenses on. When I GENTLY try to pry off the chrome outer portion of the lenses, all I hear is a cracking / snapping sound. I do not wish to...

Follow up #2: Contacted Heartland today, David Hilliker at Heartland RV Customer Service, and he indicated a new switch would be sent to me. Heartland is a great company to do business with and they manufacture extremely good products. Thank you Heartland. Lakeside

Dan, Thanks for the info. I will give Heartland a call and let you know the results of that call. lakeside

OPer here. This is a follow up about the issue I had last fall while dry camping with two 12V batteries draining flat over a seven hour period with no visible usage other than the refrigerator running on 12V/LP and the carbon monoxide/smoke detector constant draw. Some of what folks have said...

On another forum an owner of a 2014 Bighorn made thisstatement: “As part of the Yeti package, there is also supposed to be a12 volt heat tape on the line running from the fresh water tank to the waterpump. This heat tape is thermostatically controlled and does not have a switch.It will...

Mrsfish and danemayer.....you may have hit the nail on the head of this beast. Prehaps my "Yeti" tank heater package IS drawing the 12V power. I will speak to my local Heartland Tech and run this idea by him. Thank you all so much. Lakeside

OP er here. The batteries have been out of the 5er and setting on my wooden top work bench for 7 days without any type of charging going on. I used the same digital volt meter and got readings as follows: 12.2V & 12.3V. The brake connection was hooked to the switch and NOT activating the...

Water in both batteries at the bottom of viewing hole and compeletly covering all the cells. Had a mechanic load test each battery after 72 hour "rest" peroid for the batteries and both tested perfect. The only item I really left running was the fridge and the LPG dector. I had the fridge set...

We have a new 2014 Bighorn 5er that has two 12V Excide deep cycle Marine type #27 batteries. This unit has been plugged into shore power since we took delivery in April either at home or at F/H campgrounds. This past weekend we did four nights of dry camping without any type of H/U. Night #1...

The anode rod has been removed from the tank and is sitting on my work bench. Is the inside of a 2014 Bighorn water heater glass lined or just aluminum? Thank you for all the info folks. Lakeside

Greetings, I winterized my system, drained my H/W tank and flushed out the small amount of H2O remaining at the bottom of the H/W tank with a little pink stuff. Is a small amont of the pink antifreeze, left over the winter, harmful to the H/W tank? Thanks. Lakeside

Thank you for all the great information folks. This site and the support system is wonderfull. Lakeside

I have a new 2014 Bighorn 3685RL, mfg. date 03/08/2013. I need to gain access to the dump valve on gray tank #1 due to a blockage inside the tank. Where do I find a diagram / picture showing specific tank and valve locations on my 5er? I don’t have the option of returning my unit to my...

After thinking about this:::You would think that a unit having a retail price of $85,000+ ought to have some really good workers that take pride in their finished product? Leaving construction debris inside the tanks shows me some of the employees have "don't give a crap" attitude. I expected...

Thank you folks. I will try your suggestions. Lakeside

My gray water tank #1(shower only) takes about one hour to empty out from first pulling lever, which releases a full pipe gush of water for 10 seconds, down to a slow trickle of water that takes one hour to completely stop running. (The water supply valve and water pump switch are in the off...

Re: Where is the light switch? We had the same problem with our new Bighorn and asked the question right here. The answer is your remote. Good luck. Keep us posted. Lakeside

Replaced the sensor and fridge seems to be working up to standards, currently running at 36 F with the setting on #4. Thanks all for your valuable information. Lakeside

Called NORCOLD and explained the problem. Technician indicated it was a sensor issue and is mailing out a new sensor to me which should arrive in 7 days. I will install that and update as issue evolves. Thank you all. Lakeside
