Re: 2014 3260EL Bighorn - Melted plastic cover in basement WE HAVE AN ANSWER! Upon further investigation, we noticed this cover, covered the bathroom hot, cold and drain pipes. Someone (I'm not going to mention who) stores cleaning chemicals in the cabinet under the sink, and some of the lids...

Re: 2014 3260EL Bighorn - Melted plastic cover in basement Thanks for the feedback. I would agree with you with respect to chemical, however we use zero chemicals in our water / drain system. Anything we would use is natural and non-toxic.

Re: 2014 3260EL Bighorn - Melted plastic cover in basement Thanks, I'll check that out. I would imagine there would be a lot of water spilled as a result of that being true, yes? Hooked up city water and ran for a while and no leaks (so far, keeping fingers crossed). Could the heat spread...

Re: 2014 3260EL Bighorn - Melted plastic cover in basement No, It was not like this before. We bought it new and have loaded and unloaded the basement many times. I would have noticed it. Wish it was that simple <sigh>. - - - Updated - - - No cleaning solvents. Only thing we put in our...

Re: 2014 3260EL Bighorn - Melted plastic cover in basement Here's the rub; I didn't put anything in that had any heat source with it. We have a gas campfire, but it is 3 feet away from this, and I never put anything remotely hot inside the basement. It's just weird!

Hello to All, I went to clean out the basement in our 2014 Bighorn 3260EL, getting it ready for a soon to be road trip... I noticed something really weird. The plastic shroud which covers the hot, cold and waste drain for our bathroom sink had a huge hole caused by melting (please see pics)...

Thanks for the help. The previous owners were Canadian (2/3rds of the owners in this resort are Canadians). They registered the rig in California since it was bought there and resides there. As an Oregon resident, figured we'd try to get away with Oregon registration since our home is here and...

Hello to all! My wife and I live in Oregon and have owned a 38' 3260 EL Bighorn 5th wheel for many years. It is registered here in Oregon. We recently went to a RV Resort in Palm Springs, CA (Outdoor Resorts Palm Springs) and purchased a RV lot with a 40' DRV Elite Suites on the property. We...

Thanks! Could that valve have jarred open a little? If so, can I use an allen wrench to tighten it? What's weird is both front jacks are dropping down. Is that usual when you have a leak or the valve is open?

Have 2014 Bighorn 3260EL with Lippert auto-leveler jacks. We store 5th wheel on our driveway at home. Twice now we have used the auto-level to level our 5th wheel and about 2 weeks later we notice the front of the rv is all the way down to the base of the jack foot (see picture). Is this...

Thanks Jim, will do. I'll try it myself first. Let you know if it works. Take care, Greg QUOTE=Oregon_Camper;605681]Greg...that video was done on my sisters RV....not our Bighorn. If you need help...just let me know. You are about 5 mins from us. :cool:

Perfect, thanks! The Tanner's video showed their unit posted in a different place, so I was worried I could break something if I pried too hard. Thanks again. Greg

Have 2014 Bighorn 3260EL. My display is virtually unreadable on my Lippert Level Up control panel (see attached photo). I have asked a repair shop and they suggested I unplug it and let ambient energy dissipate then plug back in and that should fix the problem. I would like to try that but in...

Thanks for the input. Should I initiate contact with Heartland first just to keep chain of command (so to speak)?

We live in Oregon and have rarely taken our 5th wheel to hot climates. Never for any extended periods of time. We store our rig next to our house. It's not covered, but don't really need to here in Tigard Oregon. We have had to have many roof features (around vents, air conditioner, TV Antenna...

Hi all, Was driving down a really bumpy highway here in Oregon and when we got home, we discovered the refrigerator vent cover came off (see pics). I'd really like to go to Amazon and order a new one, but don't see the exact one which would fit. Our frig is a Norcold Model 1210 BTW. Any...

Thanks to those who responded and your ideas. We decided to get the Thomas Payne Seismic set of theater chairs.

We're looking at getting theater seating for our 2014 Bighorn 3260EL, but want to match the leather with what's on our couch. Anyone know who the manufacturer is for the couch and chairs? Any help would of course be greatly appreciated. Camp on.....

Thanks, I'll check it out. More importantly, could a screwed up regulator be causing the problem? We do get stove and water heater gas. Greg[ QUOTE=Oregon_Camper;562227]I'm drawing a huge blank right now if our built in gauge has a green indicator. I think it is only red. I gave up on those...

One other thing. When the furnace quit working, I was out early fishing. When wife got up she noticed furnace had shut off and it was freezing. She immediately thought we'd run out of propane, so she want out and checked tank (knuckle rap method), thought it was empty, so switched manually over...

Thanks for the feedback! Batteries are back up. Good to know about the furnace access. We have a 2014' so hopefully can access there. Sure can't access anywhere else <sigh>. Just WAY too many things to go wrong with these darned RV's, but I love them! Saw your POW mention. Viet Nam Vet here, so...

Will do, see you at the rally... and of course... go Beaves (Char is an OSU alum as well).

Thanks, I'll go ahead and put the wall back up. I DID learn a lot about our RV. I haven't called Matt yet only because I figured I'd wait until our Rally trip. That should be close to our last trip of the season for us (other than maybe going to a Beaver game in Corvallis), then I could just...

Unplugged everything; nothing works. Plugged shore power in; everything works. My voltmeter used the same as your photo shows, so should be ok there. Not sure why it showed zero though. I did test each battery, and they each read 13.13. Does that help? With that said, can we safely rule out the...

Before I do that Jim, when I unplug shore power (running purely on DC now, yes?), I have interior lights and the slideout (living room and bedroom) both work using our remote. With that said, do you still want me to physically disconnect the two batteries (take all wires off the terminals) or...

RECAP 2;18 pm: -- The batteries appear to check out (between 70% to 80% good). -- Thermostat appears to be working (fan and air works using it, and the 2 wires behind thermostat appear connected to unit). -- All the blade fuses inside the fuse panel in the RV fuse panel all have been tested...

UPDATE 1:15 PM: Disconnected shore and DC power. Took thermostat off (2 screws). There are only two thin wires going in and they look hard wired into the thermostat. With that said, the air and fan seem to be working correctly via thermoshat, so is it safe to "assume" the thermostat is good? Greg

UPDATE 12:45 PM - Got cover off, checked blade fuses (all 3 good), Fan IS running (I can hear it now that I listened). When I tried the red and black terminals where you showed, I set the multi-meter to DC, number to "20", touched both terminals and got a 0.0 reading. Batteries are set to on...

I'm ready to test. Have a tissue to hold in from to fan to see of there's any air movement. I have not taken the thermostat controller off yet. I took the cover off and couldn't see how to take it off (didn't see any screws upon cursory inspection). When I do that I'll disconnect batteries and...

UPDATE: Went to Harbor Freight got CEN-TECH Multi-meter, took quick YouTube tutorial, and am now an expert (right?). Checked all blade fans inside RV fuse box (all good), and turned on/of power converter circuit breaker couple of times. Turned gas off and then on very slowly... no joy. Am now...

Top one is for our Fantastic Fan which automatically opens the roof vent and turns on at a pre-set temp. - - - Updated - - - Hey Dan and Jim, Yes, the bottom one is for fan, air conditioner and furnace (in that order). - - - Updated - - - Thanks Jim, Let me get a volt meter tomorrow and...

QUOTE=Oregon_Camper;561995]I'm going to ask a question, but don't take offense. Have you checked both the 12v and 110v circuits? For 110v....flip them all on/off a few times. For 12v...double check all the blade fuses. I might even replace the one for the furnace...just to be 100% sure...

UPDATE: I have good news and bad news. I was prepared to remove all the dodads which was connected to the basement wall (power box, antenna, vacuum, etc. to get to the power converter, but decided to try the other panel first (which had no dodads) and thought maybe I could see enough to get to...

Will let you know how it goes. Thanks a lot!

Oh My! Do I need to unhook all the things attached to the wall panel or can I just carefully pull the panel away from the wall? Not sure after unhooking everything how to reattach things. Not much room to move there. Your thoughts?

Hello All, I have cleaned out my basement and am ready to remove the wall to check if my power converter has a problem (loose wires, plug came loose, fuses blown). It appears there are 2 wall panels. From the entry door side of the RV (awning side), looking into the basement, it looks like there...

Thanks Jim, Anything with the words RV or Boat is never easy to handle <sigh>. I installed a wall mounted TV there, so will need to remove that as well. Oh well, it's good practice.... - - - Updated - - - That makes sense, thanks for the clarification. So, I still won't know if the battery...

Thanks, helps a lot. By the way, it has been a long day.. When I was referring to the fridge, I was thinking there were 3 modes (1. Battery, 2. Gas, 3. shore power). If I am now reading this right, you need adequate battery to get the gas to power the fridge, yes? With respect to the power...

Good info, thanks. I'll try this and get back with results. By the way, Oregon_Camper mentioned the furnace and refrigerator both runs on DC power, and if the refrigerator is working the batteries should be OK. Jim, if you're following, our fridge power options are 110 and gas (only 2 option)...

Thanks, I pulled shore power off and the interior lights still go on, darned, no easy fix! Any one know where the power converter is on the Bighorn 3250EL? <sigh>. - - - Updated - - - Thanks... Excellent graphics BTW. Will look you guys up at the rally (we're practically neighbors). I think...
