    I'm am SOB

    The 3610RE was getting to be a hand full. We had to take two pickups to AZ for the winter to bring all our toys (Harley, RZR and kayak) and to the WY mountains in the summer. Had to start double towing again as it was ridiculous to Pay for fuel and servicing two trucks. We ended up with an "08"...

    Center speaker suggestions.

    We have a 3610 with rear entertainment. The surround sound center speaker is mounted too far up and forward to make it work realistic. Would like to mount one just above TV under the cabinets but not sure I can easily get a wire there. Any other suggestions?

    Surging, driving me nuts!

    OK most of the pumps surge. Installed a SureFlo accumulator and it might of helped but not enough to brag about it. Pump is also noisy but it doesn't drive me nuts as the constant surging just filling up the bathroom sink. It take longer to fill the sink than I think is necessary. So I took out...

    Baffeled by my baffel

    Installed baffle mod in my 1350 fridge at home. It ran on AC and gas equally for two days. Outside temps in the upper 90's. Fridge stayed at 33*. Took our trailer to a boon dock park at aprox. 9000 feet with outside temps in the high 70's. Running on gas only the temp climbed to 40* and the fans...

    Second cable in an RE

    Anyone run and extra cable for a DVR to the receiver area of a rear entertainment model? Easy to run the second cable where it enters the trailer after you remove some of the bottom covering? Hate having my RV in storage and having only 48 hours street time to work on it, have to have all my...

    1350 fridge baffle got me baffled.

    :confused: Went to the lot to look at my fridge to prepare for the baffle that I have seen installed in other posts. All the diagrams show the fans about mid way between the two outside vents. My fans are located no more than 2-3 inches below the top vent and not too far under the condenser. The...

    Closet door latch?

    I just broke my third infamous brown closet door latch. We only use them when we travel and just slide the doors to the opposite side when we are parked so you know they don't get used much. I was going to replace them and saw a post what some folks used but darned if I can find it.

    Light bar over medicine cabinet

    Our 12v light bar over the medicine cabinet sure could put out more light. Anyone have suggestions for a good looking 12v light bar that will fit there and put out some brighter light?

    Voltage-how low can you go?

    Everyone in this park complains of low voltage. I have a plug in volt meter that has a low red line at 114v and a high red line at 128v. It generally stays at "idle" at 118v. When multiple things are running it will drop below red line to 110v. We have to set the toaster at a higher setting than...

    Electric stabilizers settling?

    Every couple of days I have to go cinch up the rear stabilizers because the trailer starts bouncing. I cinch them up pretty tight and always feel they would go no more, but they do a few days later. I dont see how they can settle. Talked to another fellow that has manual stabilizers and he does...

    TOO much brakes.

    After my brake ordeal. Greasy brakes. I went to pick up the trailer for our winter stay in AZ. Barely step on the brakes and almost got whip lash. Best brakes I have ever had. But, they sure are hard to control at slower speeds. I have always had the gain set to max because it never seemed to...

    Local channels on DirecTV

    Got down to AZ and of course you loose your local channels. Was going to send in the Distant Network Service waiver and get those like I have done before. $15 a month. Had some company to help me watch the Broncos whip the Steelers and they said all they do is call Direct and change there...

    Universal docking centers?

    Been thinking about the UDC. Seems like it is getting to be the standard on RV's but I am not so sure it the best. Most water tanks are above the axles. So now we have 10-20 plus feet of filler and vent hoses. AND more problems filling the tank. Wouldnt it be better to have the filler right...

    Pocket doors.

    I didnt figure out why they started using regular doors on the bathroom. Looked like they would be a PITA in the small living place. Think I figured out why. I notice when the Fantastic fans where on I could smell a slight odor coming around the bath room. Then I felt air coming out of the...

    Bed room shelf ideas?

    We have the king which leaves little room for a night stand. My side of the bed has a small shelf for a book and TV remote. Renee would like some kind of shelf on her side. With the lay out of our bedroom it would have to be something removable for when you bring the slide in. Any ideas, pics?

    First trip back to the dealer - no brakes

    Had this trailer 14 months and its the first trip back to the dealer. The Lippert brakes are next to nothing. I bet it would take a 100 yards to stop it from 25 mph with O poop lever. The old trailers brakes wernt much good but they sure were alot better than this one. Not sure what they are...

    Heartland kept me from getting ripped off!

    Didn't get the plastic covers for my toilet seat screws, didn't realize they were even suppose to be there until I saw 'em in the parts book. Dometic dealers wanted $20+ shipping, emailed Dometic said that it would be $20+ $15 shipping! Biggest rip off of the century!! E-mailed Heartland...

    Lippert brake warranty-how long?

    Isnt the Lippert warranty 2 years on these trailers? Ours is about 14 months old. Had the brakes adjusted up and checked by an independent and were told the drums were out of round but they were on our "06" Bighorn also and they finally started working some what. This unit just wont stop hardly...

    Dometic 310 toliet screw covers.

    Dont know why I just notice that the plastic covers that go over the toilet seat screws are missing on ours. Never had them. Looked in all the packages and none there. We did get the wrong bag of manuals when we brought the trailer home last year. There only about the size of a quarter and snap...

    Crossroads "Rushmore"

    Seems that Jayco got their pantys in bunch when Heartland had an "Eagle Ridge" because they had an "Eagle". Heartland graciously renamed theirs "Elk Ridge". So what is Heartland going to do about the Crossroads "Rushmore"?

    What did we see?

    Stopped at the BH dealer in Quartzite. Wanted to look at a new 3610 with the mega bath just for fun. Salesman said they just got a new 3610 in. First noticed it had the new Dexter axles. Walked in and saw it had Pecan finish. Thats when the confusion started. I had no window in the Kitchen and...

    Kudos to Erik and folks at Heartland!!

    We are in AZ a thousand or so miles from our dealer and noticed a day/night shade was torn at the pleats. Figured we may be out of warranty by the time we get back and I generally take care of my own stuff anyway. Called Heartland service and in seconds got a hold of Erik. Told him my shade...

    Take 10 grand off for diesel!

    Talking to a farmer friend of mine yesterday and asked him "whats up?" Said he just got back from the Ford dealer to trade his "06" 6 liter diesel, with 60,000 miles, for and new "11" Ford. Said they took $10,000 off for the 6 liter diesel! Wow! They told them they had trouble selling trucks...

    Slam baggage door suggestions?

    The door side slam door has gas springs that hold it up. It you push up on the door it will go a little higher. On my old BH with convention doors the off door side storage door would do the same but would go almost vertical. I would like my new one to do the same. Is there a way to...

    Trailer sections

    Was giving this a thought. When I go to Heartland brand Communities and go to Bighorn and am done there I back out and it takes me clear to the start page. Have to jump through the hoops to get back to where I was. How about grouping the trailers together similar to what the Heartland web site...

    Swiveling recliners

    Ok I kinda asked this some where else but there are so many topic areas on this form I get lost. Anyone know how the keep the recliners in the new units from swiveling? A guest has already scratched a wall from a run-a-way recliner. Dont need the things to swivel anyway so a permanent fix is...

    You CAN teach old dogs new tricks!

    When we got our new unit I belly ached until I got a belly ache about not having a shower seat or a towel bar on the shower door. Bought a shower seat stool and stuck it in the shower. Now I was sharing space with a stinking stool! All my 65 years I have always dried off in the shower. Thought...

    Copy cats!

    Looking around at RV sites and ran into the new Jayco Pinnacle. Last year we looked at the Designer RE and went with our 3610RE because it was layed out much better. Looks like the Pinnacle took the Bighorn floor plan. Guess it you cant lick 'em, join 'em! Still like some features of our better...

    Need a water heater/electrician Guru

    Thought I did a correct diagnostic on my water heater that quit working on 120v. Installed a thermostat and it did not fix it. I have a heater element that I was going to install but you need a special socket. Did and ohm test on the elements both new and the the one installed. The new one is...

    How many do their own warranty work?

    I did my own day/night shade adjustments, fixed a short in the TV cable connection, re-did a bedroom door striker, re-wired a bassackwards switch, the TimK tent in the vent mod, and various other do-dads. Closet door latch broke and water heater thermostat went bad. Just going to order the parts...

    Water heater thermostat?

    WH quit working on electric. Ran the hot water until the gas kicked in and shut the gas down and turned it on electric and grabbed my test meter and went checking. There was no 110 at the element but there is 110 on the high limit switch and on the thermostat (both are on the same assy). Heated...

    Stain"less" steel sinks?

    We have stains in our stainless :confused: steel sink that were there since it was new. Cant get 'em out. Used all kinds of stainless steel products with no results. "Eraser" says not to use on stainless steel. Didnt try it. Renee thinks it could be from the anti-freeze when they winterized it...

    Removing glass from fireplace?

    We have the new fire place with the controls on the bottom and the inside of the glass wasn't cleaned very well when it was assembled. I was going to remove it but ran into a problem. I am guessing (no manual along with some others missing) that you have to remove the "wood" trim frame to get at...

    Jensen TV mounting bracket or stand.

    Anyone know where I can get and extra mounting bracket or the stand for the TV that goes to the mounts for my Bighorn? We got the bedroom TV option and I want to put the Jensen TV in the basement and put a decent TV in the bedroom. So it will require another TV mount. The 19 inch Jensen (only...

    Lots of Heartlands in Wyoming.

    Took our Bighorn up to Wycolo, WY (Mountain Home)to park for the summer. Had to make a quick trip to Waldon, CO and spotted a Landmark a few miles north of Cowdry in a small RV park. Was on a mission and didnt stop but will check to see it it is any of you when I go back that way. Coming home...
