    Saying Goodbye to Bighorn (SAD DAY)

    After a lot of thought we finally made the switch to a Diesel pusher from the Bighorn. Our experience with Heartland and the Bighorn for the past 3 years has been outstanding and we will sure miss it. The unit was wonderful and our memories were great. We will miss our fellow Heartlanders but...

    Trail Air Tri Glide Retro

    We got the lower jaw for the tri glide last week from lippert and had our local dealer make the swap. Only took them an hour and they had never seen one before. I have to say that the ride was quite an improvement. It almost feels like a floating sensation rather than the chucking we had...

    Trail Air Tri Glide Retro

    I finally got a response from Lippert concerning the problems I am having with the Trailair pin box. I sent them several pictures that showed 4 of the bolts they installed the trail air with that were bent or the lock washers were expanded or totally missed the bolt. After getting these pics...

    Trail Air Tri Glide Retro

    Just got off the phone with Lippert and had an interesting conversation. I was told that there have been no problems ever reported with chucking with the Trail Air hitch. The problem is probably that I have timbrens on my tow vehicle according to them. This hitch probably does not work...

    Trail Air Tri Glide Retro

    We were one of the lucky folks to have our springs replaced at Lippert after the ralley. While we were there we were convinced that putting on a Trail Air pin box would solve most of our issues with towing. We bit the bullet and had them replace our old box with the Trail Air. We traveled...

    Thanks for the info Ray, I'll make it a point to stop by and check out your awnings. Between the sun and the rain sometimes those windows work against you.

    Window awnings for 3400RL

    We would like to add window awnings to the two large side windows on our 3400RL BH. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with these. We will be at the ralley in Elkart and hoped we could find someone in the area that carries these types of awnings.

    Replacement recliners for 3400RL

    Thanks for the info. Are you pretty tight when you turn your chairs for the slides to close with your la-z-boys? When I measured ours it looks like anything much wider than 32" would be real close.

    Replacement recliners for 3400RL

    We have decided to replace the original cloth recliners that came with our BH. They are not too comfortable and the fabric is beginning to wear. Will we have any trouble getting these out the door when we get ready to remove them? Also, we will be attending the ralley and wonder if the Elkart...

    Broken glass in door window

    We were caught in a bad hail storm in Marble Falls, TX Wednesday and had a lot of damage. The question I have is about the glass in the door window. It broke just like regular glass not safety glass. The glass company in town said it's against the law for them to install anything but safety...

    Can the center island be removed in a 3580

    We really like the BH 3580 floor plan except for the center island. Is it possible to order one with this item deleted. Also as long as we are asking, can the stove in the BH be made with the solid cover as in the Landmark.

    Keeping the drawers closed

    suggestion for doors The drawers in the kichen stay closed pretty well because they have a catch on the bottom. The rest of the drawers do not. We tried to add the same catches to our other drawers but it turned out to be quite a task. The easy solution was welcro strips added to the bottom...

    Really Noisy Ceiling Fan. Anyone else?

    You might check the screws holding the fan blades. Our fan was making noise and I found that there was only one screw instead of two installed in the arms holding the fan blades.The blades were loose enough that the arms were hitting the motor housing making quite a racket.
