    Landing gear position indicator

    Hello All, How many of you have jammed the landing gear up when retracting it and causing expensive damage? Well, I have and it made me mad and feeling stupid. The experience caused me to consult with my engineer son for a solution. We came up with something that will help to stop this from...

    Landing Gear switch

    The landing gear switch that controls the current to the motor was hot. The current is enough to fry the switch. The factory uses a double pole double throw switch wired in parallel to try to handle the current. I had problems with mine and when I discovered this I looked for a better way to do...

    Floor heat vents

    I am tired of dealing with the problems floor mounted heat vents cause. I am looking into removing them and reinstalling them in a vertical space, ie; wall, cabinet, anywhere they could be and be fed from under the coach. Has anyone else done this? If so, please give some advice. Thanks in...

    Spring eye bushings

    Hi All, Recently my son and I decided to look at the spring shackle and equa-flex bushings on our 2009 Bighorn. It has Lippert 6000 axles. What we found was a mess. Some of them were nylon and a few were bronze. The nylon was totally worn thru and gone and a few of the bronze were worn very...

    Cabinets

    I have had many cabinet doors come unglued in the past few years. It appears the glue used for assembly is very poor. I would sure hope Heartland would use better quality material for this. It is a negative for a supposed quality coach.

    Generator starting and running problems

    I have been having a generator problem with starting and running lately. It starts and runs for about 10-15 seconds then quits. It takes 3-5 trys before it will run and then it does fine. I have tried both tanks. They are full. I removed the line below the propane tank and found some oil in it...

    Added Charge Wizard to Converter

    I have a 60A Progressive Dynamics Power Converter in our Bighorn 3400RL (factory). I just recently discovered the capability of having a Charge Wizard remote for it. WHY DID THE FACTORY NOT INCLUDE IT AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT?? It provides so much important information and charging control of the...

    Cheap Cabinet doors

    2009 Bighorn. I have had 7 cabinet doors come apart at the corners so far. It requires the doors to be removed, glued and clamped, then reinstalled. What a pain. Really shows how cheaply made they are. I guess Heartland looks for anything to cut costs. REALLY, a little glue would have prevented...

    Faulty Grab Handle

    Has anyone ever had the grab handle at the door break when using it? We did, both fittings broke when someone was using it to climb the steps. Fortunately they were not hurt but it could have been bad if they had fallen. It is the large one that folds closed when traveling. I think it is a...

    RO water filter

    FYI. Has anyone installed an RO water filter in their rig? We had a motorhome for years before we got our Bighorn and I installed an RO system in it and was very pleased with the water quality it gave us where ever we went. We found water quality was pretty poor in most of the parks we stayed in...

    Missing Pocket Door

    We have a 2009 Bighorn 3400RL. I noticed there had been some changes done to the wall at the step. It appeared there was a space for a pocket door there. When I removed the fill material I discovered a space for a pocket door. Was there one there originally? Why would it have been removed. I...

    Where is the 'Gas leak dector'?

    I have a newly aquired 2009 Bighorn 3400RL and I can't find the Gas Leak Detector. Is it hidden somewhere? I have looked all over the floor area in the kitchen and living area.
