My questions probably pertain to my truck but here it goes. Were contemplating purchasing a 41' BH3750FL, this will be the biggest 5th wheel we've ever owned. I have a 2011 Chevy 1 ton diesel single rear wheel (non-dually) so do you think I have more camper than truck? We have has a 34' BH3010RE...

Good Day Folks!! I suppose this question has been asked a 100 times but what type of exterior wax do you use on your siding? I have a 2014 3010RE Big Horn, which I'm not even sure what type of siding is on the 3010. Thanks everyone, be safe!

In our 2014 3010RE Big Horn the fireplace has been operating properly but today when we turned it on you could see the heating element glow a bright orange and then the element and the blower fan shut off. The background "flames" still work. The element got so hot you couldn't touch the front of...

I've been working with Don at the factory, who has been very helpful, on this puzzling issue. The fresh water tank will fill up and overflow on its own. Don sent us a Anderson valve to correct the problem but it didn't help. Any ideas? Also, have any readers attempted to adjust any of your...

Were having the same problem with our 2014 BH 3010RE as we had with our 2009 Sundance. When we turn on the bedroom lights or the welcome home light comes on we lose TV signals to both living room and bed room TV's. Some time ago I saw threads saying other Heartland owners were having the same...

During our trip from Jasper, AL to Marion, AR, we temp parked our 2013 Big Horn 3010RE at a slight angle with the exit door being the low side. We saw water coming out from under the slide out, behind the wheels, onto the ground and located under the reclining chairs. There is a blue water line...

We full time in our Big Horn so I wanted to make sure I wasn't over loading the tires. I weighted both fully loaded truck and camper and the total weight came in at 23,780 lbs. I weighted the fully loaded truck and it came in at 8,480 lbs. Subtracting the two leaves me with a camper weight of...

The leveling system manual says not to lift the camper to the point where the tires are off the ground. I've read in another forum that Lippert told a Big Horn owner that it is OK to have the leveling system lift one side off the ground, what is the real answer? We full time in our 2014 Big...

We purchased a new 2014 Big Horn 3010RE with the six point auto leveling system. We were told and it made sense the leveling system would make the camper a little more stable. After living onboard for a month the camper shakes more than when we first setup the thing although the camper moved...

We have an opportunity to purchase a used 2013 BH3610RE for an very nice price but the unit does not have the YETI PACK or FOUR SEASONS RVING rating. We full time in our current Sundance which is not four seasons so I'm wondering what comes with the YETI PACK and FOUR SEASONS RVING package. We...

The exterior part( the buble) of the bathroom skylight in our 2009 Sundance 3300SK has cracked and in need of replacing. I know its a two part skylight so I'm thinking I need only the exterior dome. Size of the skylight is approximately 26.5" x 17.5" x 5"h. Other than Heartland where can I...

Does anyone pull their Sundance with a Chevy 2500HD with a standard length bed? I've always had a 8 foot bed but for manuverability I'm thinking about getting a little smaller (standard) bed. I have a B&W hitch therefore I really don't want to buy a slider. Is the in dash navigation system...

I have a 2009 Sundance 3300SK with original Mission ST235 80R/16 load E radial tires and I want to replace them with Michelin ST235 85R/16 LT, sometimes rederred to as RIBS. The Michelin tires are 1/2 inch larger in diameter threreby putting the two tires closer together. Has anyone gone to a...

We have a 2009 Sundance 3300SK, VIN: 5SFSG33229E201687 and the outside shell of the ceiling skylight in the bathroom (not the vent fan) is cracked, the inside shell of the same skylight is still in tack. My questions are, can just the outside shell of the skylight be replaced or is the inside...

Can the queen size bed(as shown in the Heartland brochue) in a BH 3185RL bedroom be replaced with a king size bed? Has anyone done this switch? Thanks for your input. Dave

We love our 3300SK and with the options we purchased with the unit were at home! The crazy question I have is, if I brought the 3300SK to the factory would they be able to remove the queen size slide and bed (of course) and replace it with a king size slide and bed? In our coming retirement...

I have a 2009 Sundance 3300SK and I'm thinking about adding extra insulation in the kitchen and living room floor. Next year we are planning to be in some fall and winter areas of the north east plus the extra insulation will help keep the unit cool in the summer and warm in the cooler nights...

Can dual pane windows be installed in my Sundance 3300SK? Can I purchase these dual pane windows from Heartlend or an after market company? We are in the process of doing some upgrades to our 3300SK in preparing for our full timing in 15 months. Might as well do it now while I'm still full time...

Experiencing a soft and spongy floor in the hallway and bath room in my 2009 Sundance 3300SK, my son in law and myself verified there was no water leaks by removing the basement 1/8 inch wood panelling under the bathroom and hallway and inspecting everything. First thing we saw was the floor...

Any suggestions on how to remove cracking chalking along some molding on my Sundance? Would heating the old chalk make it come off easier or would I end up with a gooey mess? Thanks

Lot's of pro's and con's when discussing RV covers, personally I like them because I feel it protects the RV finish from the suns UV and fading the furniture and cutains. Also, when I uncover the RV it looks nice and clean. My question is, where can I purchase a high quality RV cover for my 34...

My job might take me to the Bremerton, WA area starting in January 2011 until Dec 2012. I've heard it doesn't snow much up there and doesn't get into the 0 degree range, my question is will we stay comfortably warm during the winter months in our Sundance 3300SK? I know the R rating in the...

Anyone know if there is there a used truck dealer somewhere/anywhere that resells trucks formally used by campers towing campers? These trucks, I would think, would have been well maintained by former owners, already setup to pull a camper and ready to go. I've been looking locally, SC and Va...

I would like to upgrade my Sundance 3300SK suspension with either a Mor/ryde SRE 4000 or a Trail Air Equa Flex. Does anyone have any experience with either of these system, pro or cons? My concern with the Trail Air suspension is it has rubber components in it which might fail/break after...

How does one tell what type of material the roof a camper is made of, I have a 2009 Sundance 3300SK. Do I have to seal my roof annually? I clean it annually with a roof and preservative type cleaner, is this enough to provide protection and give me a troble free (if possible) roof? Thanks for...

I have an opportunity to temporarily store my 5er on a campground site for 17 days. I don't have a blank tank problem but I thought I would fill the blank tank up, leave it filled during my trip and soak out any lingering debris. Any thoughts or negative issues with this? Also, I think the...

We have a 2009 Sundance 3300SK which was purchased in August 2008. We have livied in it since April 2009 while I work in Virginia. About July we noticed the bathroom floor is spongy and the floor leading out of the bathroom and into the hallway is starting to get spongy. My question is, is it...
