So, like many others, I am researching options for cellular provider plans, and stumbled on several sites that are peddling modem/routers along with 'no contract' unthrottled data plans. They all advertise they are not 'location locked' meaning you can travel anywhere with the plans. Some...

...we have a 2015 3875FB and would like to know how many others out there have same model. There are a few things that I have had to "correct" on my unit that the factory 'didn't do right'. Just curious if other have had same issue, or was mine a 'Friday' model. Thx. Today I corrected a...

So I've read lots of posts on various issues and some get close, but I haven't solve it yet. This really is a tow part issue all related to the Lippert hydraulics, but may not be anything wrong with the hydraulics package itself. The coach is a 2015 Bighorn 3875FB. The issue only exists when...

Well I've decided to look seriously at replacing the drums with discs. I've done some looking online, but I'd like to hear from those who have gone before me on the subject. I'm not needing convincing so save your breath on that. I am wondering since Kodiak and Titan are now under the Dexter...

I have a 2002 6.6L LB7 which has begun to emit white smoke from the exhaust. Seems like it's more noticeable at an idle, but that just might be because the trucks not moving. Puts out quite a cloud when leaving from a stop. Oil level seems to be staying put and it doesn't look like I'm making...

So while nosing around doing some "fix n repair" while camped between Austin and San Antone, I noticed the rear shock on door side had lost the nut and all the bushings, etc. I'm assuming it's a Lippert item, and have found an entire shock assembly on Amazon for around $35. Question is, can...

In February we will be coming into Pheonix from the south on I10 heading to White Tank Mtn. Is it best to stay on 10, or travel around the bottom on 17? Thx. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I have to test/replace the water inlet valve on my frig that is in the slide on my 2015 3875FB Bighorn. I've already done the easier things to troubleshoot the no ice problem and now suspect the inlet valve assy. The question I have after snooping around is it appears that on my model there...

Sorry if this is not the forum for this, but I couldn't see a better place to post. I have been trying to figure out just why I can't get 12v on pin #1 of my seven pin connector. I've tested between pin #1 and pin #4, also to the frame, but without any luck. I've also tried it with the truck...

I've used products to clean my roof in the past, but would like some recommendations from others on what they prefer. I like the one-step cleaners/protectors for ease. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I've read a lot of threads looking for a clue but to no avail so pardon if the answer is there. I have an unlimited plan with (3) devices. (2) smart phones, one is mine the other the DW's. I also have a MIFI5510L Jetpack. The conundrum is that when connecting our Roku to the devices I can...

After upgrading our fiver to a 2015 3875 FB and travelling south to FL this winter, I decided that although my 2002 3500 handled things fine, I needed some improvements. I just finished the install of the Power Pack system from Banks Engineering. I deleted the intercooler at this time, but...

We're talking about a 2015 BH with what I believe is the Lippert 3.0 6-pt levelup. My question has to do with the small remote (pictured). All controls work with the exception of the LIGHT control, or I am not seeing which light it is controlling I figured it would be the porch or possibly the...

The last time we posted we were in northeast Georgia. We've since wandered down through Savannah and now set up here for a week. Our plan we to head a couple hours south down around Sarasota next week, but this campground has FHU sites and with my lifetime senior pass is extremely reasonble...

So the DW has been able to remove all the window screens for cleaning except the small single pane windows typically found in the ends of the bedroom slide out. These are the ones with the lower pane that slides up roughly 6". I've looked at the small half screen on these windows a bit, but...

Pulled into Cloudland Canyon SP yesterday late morn. DW not happy about the winding road to get up here, but all good now that we're here...of course. Staying until Tuesday, then off east towards Savannah. No other HL'S yet, but did talk to a family at the main overlook and when we told them...

how the folks down in Florida go about sifting for sharks teeth in the rivers. I ask because I stumbled on this little hobby while researching a campground on the Peace River. We will be camping for a couple of weeks in December right on the river and our grand daughter will be with us for...

Wondering for those with the auto level systems, do you also use X chocks and how. If I install mine prior to disonnecting the TV and then do auto level, they are loose between tires? Am I using them wrong? Thx. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I've "camped" in my unit for the past week or so out back on my cement pad by the pole barn. Every so often I hear a "pop" or a "clunk". When I did the auto level the curb side tires could just be rotated, and now I see they cannot. I guessing that I may have a control valve leaking fluid...

So I've looked over the PDF's and the owners manual already, but still think something is not right... Tried to program channels on the living room TV without success. No channels received. Checked all the accessible cable connections to insure they were tight. Tried again. Same result...

So I was under the impression that I could return to the height that I u hitched at. The label near the LCI contol let indicates that by pushing the right and left arrow keys simultaneously it should automatically return to the last position before auto leveling. Not so. Tried it twice. Give...

Wondering what TV'S the factory was installing in the 2015 model year Bighorns? Anyone care to comment? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

In the process of purchasing a new 2015 Bighorn. It's never been owned. When we looked over the unit a couple of weeks ago we found a number of things that needed attention. Most were items that had been "cannibalized" by the dealer. Not a problem as they would all be corrected. The...

Was wondering if a person can get the original build spec sheet from Heartland by supplying the VIN number. The unit in question is a 2015 model year. If so what is the proper method for doing this? Thx.

Am pretty sure while going from 2009 BH 3055 RL to 2015 BH 3875FB that my hitch height is going to be a bit low. I measured current rig at level and also the new rig. There's approx. 2.75" difference. Might be partly due to 16" wheels on current and 17.5" on new but not sure on that. At any...

So this applies only to power awnings that do not have wind detection. I have always lashed mine down with ratchet straps or the.like with bungee cords for some flex. How any agree with this practice? How many don't? Reasons why for either. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

So the DW and I have been researching and looking at a LOT of fivers over the last year. Our plan is to head south in November to avoid the Michigan winter and just float around in the warm zone until the weather warmed up here in the north. We were going to do that in our current 3055RL, but...

So I know there are many owners of TPMS systems on the forum, but I am looking for users of this specific brand. I purchased this unit and suspect that I don't have it programmed correctly. The user manual is in "Chinglish" and not much use. The customer support has been quick to reply to my...

So Ive been looking at future upgrades for our next fiver, and then started paying closer attention to weights. I confess with this truck I hadn't thought much of possibly going over the weight limits, but unless someone steers me differently, I am thinking I may not be able to upgrade to my...

I have a 2002 Silverado that needs some attention to the wheels. I have looked a bit into replacing the factory steel wheels with aluminum, but with having to change out the studs and all it started to become a lot more expensive than I wanted. I understand that I could just have the wheels...

So this whole thing for me started back when I lost two Carlisle tires on my 2002 Wildcat years ago (not at the same time). Until then I was like many who failed to pay close attention to the only thing that was between my investment and the road...the tires. Since then I started being more...

So I'm doing some planning for later this year when the DW and I will be roaming around the south when the cold weather sets in up here in MI. Our duaghter and husband, along with our 6 yr. old grand daughter want to come find us over the Christmas holidays for a couple weeks. The question is...

your rig that is! So my wife and I are planning on hitting the road this coming November for the south. We will be traveling around and not staying in one place for more than two or three weeks. So the question is how/where do you wash your rig? Thanks in advance for your input.

So my dad was a wanderer and some of my fondest memories are of our family vacations from MI to MO and NE where our kin lived. I have him to blame for my wanderlust. Now that the wife and I are retired and in good health, we have started talking about doing more than just a couple weeks of...

Last summer the wife and I took a "sib trip" with my brother, sisters, and spouses out to the Black Hills in SD. We only made (3) reservations to cover weekends (there were two ), and our stay in Custer where reservations are really a recommendation if you don't want surprises. Partly to...

Looking at the 51 gal. toolbox/tank combo unit. Anybody tell me if you can open the toolbox with just on latch release, or do you have to activate both? Thx.

I've owned trailers without fiberglass rear end caps and currently own one with. I personally prefer the end caps, but in looking at upgrade options I've found some models I like without the rear end cap. I'm trying to convince myself that the rear end cap is NOT as big a deal as I think...

So while cleaning up the unit prior to storage for the winter I ran across something that needs replacing. I figure it's a vent, but I have (4) other smaller vent caps on my 2009 3055RL. This one is close to 6" in diameter. Is it an attic vent? Where do I find one? Sent from my SM-G900V...

So my 2009 BH 3055RL that I purchased a couple years back had been cleaned at some point with something that appears to have etched the clearcoat. You can see what looks like brush marks and drip runs in portions of the gelcoat. The decals are also faded and curling. I have tried 3M Marine...

So I've read a bunch of threads on this subject and gleaned a wealth of knowledge on sanitizing your system, etc. Thanks to all who contributed to my education BTW. I am not new to RVING or trailers, so after doing much of what I already knew plus some other suggested remedies, I dug a little...
