My wife and I will be in New Mexico in October but would like to go home to Wisconsin in November. We will be coming back to New Mexico after Thanksgiving. Is there anyone that could help us out with keeping our Big Horn within about 100 miles of the Albuquerque. It would be great if 15 amp...

We will be in Arizona in January and we're wondering if there will be any gatherings in Arizona at that time. I saw there were quite a few in 2017 but nothing is listed for 2018

My hydralic slides make a squeal when extending and retracting them. I have put dry lube on the gears and that didn't help. Is there something I should be greasing?

The hydraulic pump kicks out when putting the slides in or out. Also when i retract the landing gear. Seems ok when I level up. Seems like a solenoid is kicks out. After I wait a minute it will work again. Lipport system. Any ideas what I could check?

I have a Big Horn 3160 and love it despite some problems we have had with it. Nothing I could point at Heartland but one. All the problems we had were handled very well by all the vendors associated with Heartland. The only problem that we have with Heartland is that our bedroom slide was...

I have 544 W on the roof putting out about 80 Volts max. I am in northern Wisconsin at a beautiful National Forest campground and It rained all day yesterday and cloudy today. At best I am generating 20-40 volts from Solar. That seams to help maintain my batteries only using min lights (LED)...

Just changed my 4 130W 46 volt panels from running in parallel to 2 in series and then the 2 sets in parallel. Now I have 4 GC batteries, each is rated at 232 amps. I set my Magnum up for 460 amps. is this correct? Each set of btteries adds up to 12 volts with 232 amps. So two sets would be 460...

I would like to replace the existing coat rack with a longer one. What type of fasteners are best to use to mount to the outside walls.

I have 4 Uni-Solar PVL-136 panels on the roof of my 5er. at full sun my Tristar Digital Meter reads 46 volts. I have the panels hooked to a MPPT controller in parallel. would I be better off having 2 sets of panels hooked in series to increase the voltage?

I did something stupid today and bent and broke the lower supports of my ladder. I need two aluminum posts that come from the camper to the ladder and one bracket that is screwed to the back. There is a part number on the bracket which is 508A. See the pictures. The plastic parts and screws are...

I have read and reread the manual and have not found anything on what the battery status reading "PWM" state means. This state of charge reads out on my digital meter. Can anyone tell me what it means. Thanks.

Its me again with more questions. I just purchased 4 golf cart batteries (232 Amps @20) What size battery cables do I need between them? I will be hooking two batteries in series to get the 12V and the 2 sets in Parallel to get 464 Amps. I think I have a wonderful system because of all the help...

First, I can't say thank you enough for all the info I have received through this forum. Now I have another question. I have installed a Morningstar TS-45 TriStar 45 Amp Charge controller in my fifth wheel. Uni-Solar PVL-136 PowerBond PVL 136 Watt 24 Volt panels on the roof. These panels...

I am writing this to warn any prospective customers NOT to get the optional folding dinette chairs. We have had 3 of them in about 6 months and they all broke. Two of them broke when we unfolded them for the first time and the third, the seat came off after being used twice. As far as I am...

I was wondering if I could use the antenna on our bedroom TV and a dish on the living room TV?

The Bedroom door in my 3160EL does not close. I took it to the dealer and they fixed it but when I got it back home the door didn't close again. It seems to pinch in the frame and will not close or latch. This is a minor annoyance rather then a problem but any help as to how I could adjust it...

A bad day is when you take your camper to the dealer to have it winterized. The end of camping until spring. It gets cold in Wisconsin.

I would like to add a ceiling fan in my 3160EL or a ceiling fan with a light. There is a place labeled ceiling fan on the control board but it is empty. Is this rig pre-wired for a ceiling fan or do you know where I could purchase a combination fan/light to replace the present kitchen light.

Does anyone know where I can get a 12V ceiling fan with a light for over the kitchen sink in my 5er?

Peel and stick solar panels instaled Thanks to all who answered my questions. I now have a working Solar system in my fifth wheel. The first two pictures are the top showing the peal and stick panels. There are (4) 136 watt panels. The next picture is the Controller. The next picture is the...

I have a MS 2012 Magnum Inverter/charger. In my 3160 Big Horn the Shore power is right next to where I want to mount the Magnum. I will be removing the existing charger and using those wires for the DC side. My question is If the wires were good for the present charger why would I have to...

Because I am a rooky at this and you all are so helpful so I am going to ask another question. I am going to install a PV system on my 5er. According to Morningstar I should have a 60A breaker on each side of the controller, I am using a tristar 45 MPPT controller. This morning I went to...

Is anyone using a PWN charge controller with 12 volt batteries and higher voltage solar panels? I was going to use the tristar TR 45 PWM controller with 24 volt solar panels but I was told that I would be loosing 50% of the power the panels were generating. Actually I want to hook 2 24 volt...

I would like to purchase the Renogy 100 watt flexible panels for the top of my Big Horn which has a rubber roof. Question is, what should I use to glue them down. After they are fastened down I plan to use RV roof calk around the edges to eliminate air and moisture from getting under the panels...

What are the specifications of the battery that came with my Bighorn 3160RE. I would like to add another battery and would like to have the same battery. I would like to know the Amps and the manufacturer.

We have a Big Horn 5er with hydraulic leveling. I have seen these Tripods on the king pin. Do they help stabilizing the unit? Our unit is very stable now. Are these tripods worth the money and if they are what kind would be the best.

I was wondering if those tripods you put under the king pin on a 5er help a lot with the stability. We have the auto level on our new 3160 and it rocks when you move. I have put blocks under the pads and that helped quite a lot but was wondering if the tripod would also help. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone used a hitch like this on their Big Horn? Curt Manufacturing 13703 Class III Receiver Hitch My rig has 2 brackets that are welded to the frame. Are these brackets for mounting a hitch?

We just took delivery of our Big Horn 3160 on Tuesday. When we got the rig home we had a hydraulic leek in the auto leveling system. It worked fine during the dealer walk thru. What happened is a hose hit a solenoid and it burned a hole in the line. I took the rig back to my dealer (Wagner...

Our Big Horn was built March 26th. We live about 250 miles from the factory. It has been almost 3 weeks and we have not seen the camper. I was wondering how long does it take to deliver a camper? Has anyone picked up their camper directly from the factory?

I want to install solar on our Big Horn. The first thing I would like to do is install an inverter. Can I just swap out the converter with the inverter or do I have to remove the converter, splice the wires in that location, and wire in the inverter in a different location. I want everything to...

I wish there was an option for a power inverter to change 12V DC to 120V AC.and a second battery. The option could be for a 2000 or 3000 watt inverter. There are a few full timers that put solar on their rigs and this would be a helpful option. Even if you ran a generator this would be a nice...

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Good Sam's Truck and camper insurance. I got a quote which was verycompetive but what happens when you put in a claim?

Just got notification that our fifth wheel will be built on 3/26/14:) Its cold outside now 17F but should be warmer when it gets here. Camping season will arrive sooner then we expected;):o:):rolleyes::cool:

Hi all. New to this forum. We are looking to purchase a Bighorn 3160EL. this is a new model and are a little reluctant because we have never seen one. Its a nice layout but only saw similar units of a different brand. What would you do?

We have not seen this layout except on the internet. This is a new model, does anyone have one or even seen one? I feel we are getting a great deal from our local dealer but are hesitant due not seeing a unit. We feel it would be nice because you can sit directly across from the TV when...
