    Replacing Blackwater Tank

    Birchwood - did you purchase your tank from Heartland yourself? They have not gotten back to me with the correct part number yet. They said they would install the flanges before shipping, but the local repair shop wants to cut out and install the flanges here. He says its for proper fit, but...

    Replacing Blackwater Tank

    Thanks, Birchwood. I'm guessing mine will be a bit more... I do plan on pulling the basement partition, dropping the underbelly, and then taking it a few miles to a large RV repair shop. Not sure I would want that job done here in the campground. They are estimating about 4-6 hours. I just...

    Replacing Blackwater Tank

    Has anyone had to replace their black-water holding tank? My top flange sometimes leaks slightly when filling-rinsing the tank to dump. I bought the 2011 Bighorn 3070RL second hand (almost new), and it took a while to locate the source of the "off" odor I detected occasionally. Not sure if it...

    Totally turning off the Dimplex fireplace?

    Really glad that worked out. That's the beauty of forums - getting all of us "dummies" together to sort things out. My fireplace is just like yours. The rocker switch that powers the thermostat is on the right. It also appears not to work unless the thermostat is cranked up high enough to call...

    Totally turning off the Dimplex fireplace?

    Please don't kill me if this sounds dumb... you probably know this already. When I first bought my rig, I thought my fireplace was still "lit" when it was supposed to be off. Looking closer, I found that it was just ambient light reflecting off the red cellophane used to create the red glow from...

    Freeze Protection for external hoses

    Another victim of "Pirit" hose failure: Checking my second-season Pirit hose for proper operation the other night, I found that its thermostat had quit working. The older model orange hoses are apparently notorious for this problem. I’m not sure if the newer blue models with the “extension”...

    Should have checked our drawers

    Bonding with your unit can make for tales at the campfire. My old Springdale drawers would never stay closed on the road. For the first few weeks we could not account for missing silverware, until I spotted it way back on the floor, behind the drawers, under the sink. Made me appreciate the...

    Winter Campers

    Have some friends back in "da U.P." in MI that could use those Track-N-Gos! I'm a new rookie here to the forum and my Bighorn. I'm originally from MI, and am wintering in my 3070RL this year in Prescott, AZ (elevation 5400). We have snow, 15 degree nights, but sunny days, and great hiking. I...
