Suddenly my wife and I can smell a really putrid odor coming from one of the floor registers. Is it possible for a mouse or whatever to get into these vents? I would assume they're all pretty much sealed up? I took the outside cover off the furnace but there's really nothing you can see...

I have a 2008 Big Horn 5er that has 2 window units that are all fogged up, obviously from loss of seal between the two panes. Has anyone tried replacing the glass itself or the whole frame including the glass? I called Heartland several months ago, explaining the situation, and they said the...

I recently had a leaf spring break on my 2008 Big Horn 5th wheel, the front one on the passenger side. Only way I knew it broke was that I saw smoke coming out the back as I tooled down the freeway. Fortunately I was able to get a roadside assistant who was able to find a replacement, and the...

After reviewing the many posts regarding the repair of wet/rotted wood on slideout floors, I've decided to do a fix that would be more permanent so I don't have to revisit it down the road. Like most have experienced, the problem usually is limited to the edges of the floor, where water has...

I have a 2008 Bighorn 5th wheel and have discovered some dry rot happening under my passenger-side 12ft slide out. I plan to do a repair myself, since the problem isn't severe - I think I caught it soon enough so that the whole floor won't need to be replaced. My question is about the...

Wondering if anyone else has had this happen: I have a 2008 Big Horn 3400RL whose curbside slide is currently inoperable. Problem started a few months ago when I had to push on the curbside slide to get it started over the floor ramp so it could close. Well finally the sh.t hit the fan, when...

Well I've read most of the posts regarding electric landing gear problems, and have proceeded to take mine apart to see if I can discover the cause of a slow, straining motor along with a clicking sound when in the lift mode. My 3400 Bighorn 5th wheel is now on jacks, but the last time I tried...

I am looking for a source to purchase an 80 Amp mini breaker, to replace the 50A breaker that feeds my 5th wheel Lippert landing-gear motor. Ideally it would be of the same dimension (pins spacing = 3/4 inch) as the original 50A breaker. I've found several websites that have up to 50 Amp mini...

I have a 2008 Bighorn 3400RL and need to find out just where the converter is located as well as what model it is. Vin# ends in 009939. I have a sudden lack of battery charging, with voltage measuring 7.8 volts at the battery. 12V lights are dim of course, but periodically they brighten up...

Hi there. We have a 2008 BigHorn 5th wheel that has 3 windows that apparently have lost their seal. I think the rig has the "arctic" package and has twin-pane glass. My question is whether or not you think we might have this taken care of at the upcoming national rally this Spring. Should I...

I'm curious as to the best way anyone's found, to clean a small area-rug in their rig. A full-sized rug cleaner takes up WAY too much storage space, and we're full-timers so there's no place else to store one like that. I've reviewed the small "spot" cleaners on the market but they all seem to...

The wife & I are looking for a well-designed portable/tripod dish setup for Dishnet HD reception. We have a roof-mounted Winegard Roadtrip Minimax on our Big Horn that works fine WHEN we can find a campsite with southern exposure. Getting tired of having to walk round the campground with a...

I'm considering a switch from diesel to gas for my TV. Currently running an F350 Super duty, pulling 12,000 lbs & pin weight of approx 2,500lbs. Is there a gas truck out there designed to handle this load? Just curious. Anyone out there running a gas TV in this power/load handling range...

Hey there, here's a puzzle I don't see mentioned on any of the TOW VEHICLES posts. My ford F350 is currently in the repair shop, having the sensor on the Horizontal Fuel Conditioner module replaced. Seems that previous owners didn't bother to replace the fuel filter on that unit, and over the...

I have a "horizontal Fuel Conditioner" on my 2008 350 Ford Diesel truck, and the "drain fuel conditioner" lite came on today. It's right under the driver's seat, on the frame next to the transmission. I discovered that the lever, used to open & close the drain, had been broke off by either the...

After storing our 2008 Big Horn for the winter ,we opened it up this spring only to find the kitchen linoleum had cracked in 3 places. In addition, there was a screw-head poking up into the linoleum just in front of the counter tops. I tried screwing it back in but it turns out it was stripped...

We have a Big Horn 3400RL and would like to know if anyone has installed any of these gas support struts I see on some of the later Heartland models, on their larger outside doors? Seems like it would make it a whole lot easier to get stuff in & out. The doors I have are kind of a foam...

We have a new-to-us 2008 Bighorn and want to find out the charging specs on the converter, other than the amperage which is 60. Do any of you folks know offhand, or have a Heartland number to call? Thanx in advance for any help . . . Jim Hamlin

My wife and I are new and excited owners of a 2008 3400RL, and plan to install a decent solar system and battery bank. Before I decide on the solar system particulars, I'd like to know the specifications of the factory installed inverter and converter. In particular, the maximum draw from the...
