    Our 2014 3570RS has grey water smell coming up from the utility cabinet area. Especially after doing dishes a couple times. Every time. I dropped the insulation cover on the bottom and there are no signs of leaks. Just strong fumes coming in. Once tank is drained, no more smells until I do...

    Correct Track Alignment System

    We have the Correct Track Alignment System and was wondering if anyone has needed to adjust them. I've got about 10K miles on our OM tires (Chinese bombs - Towmax) and detect wear on the outside tires. Noticable. Not to mention 3 blowouts in one year. I'm replacing these tires with G-Rated tires...

    Furnace Thermostat issue - I think

    My furnace works fine, but here recently, it only kicks on if you move the digital read out up beyond room temperature, then it kicks on. For example, if you set the thermostat to say......62 and the inside temp falls below 62, even if it gets down to low 50's or 40's inside (overnight), it will...

    Near Explosion of Water Tank!

    Yesterday, I decided to do what some suggested. For water availability during freeze out emergencies, I filled the fresh water tank. I've never put water in the fresh water tank because we've always had city water. So I turned the dail on the water control to "fill tank". Everything was working...

    Freeze Protection for external hoses

    We have a new Bighorn, we live in it about 5 days a week (work camp). We live in central GA where winters are not harsh, but there are those days/nights it can get down in the low 20's, but day time temps usually, creep back up above freezing.

    Lubing Hub question

    I've done lubbing on Dexter Hubs on a previous tongue pull. Does anyone know if the 2014 Bighorn 3570RS has the same type of hub. I haven't crawled around looking for make/model of mine yet. The Dexter hub was fairly easy to re-lub, just pull the drum, and bearings, replace bearings and packing...

    4 point level up with front landing gear

    I was thinking about installing electric ground control level up jacks on my 2014 Bighorn 3570. 2 points just in front of wheels and two near the rear, but was wandering, would I have a problem with set up? The process of set up as I understand it: while still hooked up to TV, let the 4 point...

    LED Light Strip under awning replacement tips

    Heartland/Dealer was good enough to send me a new light strip to replace mine. The existing one has some bulbs going bad. So, does anyone have any 'how-to' tips on removing and installing the new strip? Looks like you just snip the wires on the end and slide it out and slide the new one in. But...

    holding tanks roof vent 2014

    My 2014 BH 3570 has (4) roof vents. My main concern is an odor under the kitchen sink that is a 'real' problem. I've determined its the Vent Check valve under the sink. I believe, when the wind is just right, (and the wind was blowing pretty hard the last couple days), the valve somehow gets...

    High output burner glare up

    The front high output buner on stove top flares up on high. Which creates a more yellow flame and leaves pots and pans with a nasty burnt look on the bottom. Any way to adjust this so it burnes more like the other two?

    Grey water tank gas in kitchen sink.

    We have been smelling waste water gas/oders under the kitchen sink. Often when cabinet doors are shut. I lolled under sink just now and it stunk! No drips or leaks in pipes. But did notice there is NO pee-trap in either sink drain lines. It appears the Oder is just drifting up from the grey...

    Full reading on black water tank.

    I'm perplexed! I either have a gage stuck on 3/4 full or I've got build up that won't drain. We don't leave the gate valve open for draining while camping as I know that's a big no-no. We only open to drain. I've filed it up with water and drained. Drove around with Half full to slosh around...

    I bought the Winegard Pathway X2 with the understanding you can watch 2 channels with 2 receivers anytime. xxxxxxxx one might be able to watch two channels while on eastern Satellite 72 which does not have the local major networks. The sales guys fail to tell you that!! Angry! If I want to...
