    Lippert Hydraulic Jack Issue

    Over the past couple of weeks, when I operated my front jacks, I noted that upon upon retraction of them while hooking up to my truck, they stopped retracting before being full up. I jockey’d the switch a little and they started working again. Finally got the all the way up. I thought my switch...

    Slide Topper Issue

    Our Bighorn has an issue with the metal wrapped slide toppers installed by the dealer. When extending one of the slides, the topper jumps over the top metal trim, resulting in the topper roll resting on top of the slide, which is obviously a problem. This has now happened to two of my slides. It...

    Locking Out Front Leveling Jacks

    Our Bighorn, like many, has the auto leveling system controls behind one of the basement storage doors. However, also like many other Bighorn units, the front Lippert jacks can be independently raised or lowered with the front rocker arm switch, which is particularly used for hooking up and...

    Loose Electrical Wire

    Awning Rain Flap Adjustment

    Our RV dealer replaced our main awning with a metal wrapped awning (wrong one came on it when it was received by dealer). When the awning is fully extended, the rain flap is no longer positioned such that it can be used - in other words, the flap seam is too far up on the main awning material to...

    Replacing Ice Maker Line To Residential Refridge

    I have a Bighorn 3970RD and want to replace my ice maker line with a more durable SS braided supply line. I keep hearing that I need a 25' line but that seems pretty long - I'm thinking more like 20'. I don't want to pull the old line to check the length in case I need it to fish the new line...

    Uneven Furnace Heat In My Bighorn 3970RD

    Right now it is getting into the lower 30's and upper 20's here at night and it has become apparent that there is a challenge for me in keeping the rear living area of our Bighorn warm enough without baking us in the bedroom/bathroom. It can be especially warm in the bedroom and bathroom, but...

    Full Body Paint - Best Wax To Use?

    I'm looking for input regarding the best wax to use on the full body paint job we have on our new Big Horn. I have long been an advocate of synthetic waxes, staying away from pretroleum-based products. Any recommendations?

    Plumbing Penetrations - To Seal or Not To Seal?

    I am thinking about foam sealing that big hole cut in the flooring under my BH sink - seems to me that this could provide an entry point for ants, etc. Does anyone see an issue with doing that?

    Bighorn Winterizing Problem

    I need help or advice in winterizing my unit. I bypassed the hot water heater, drained it via removing the anode rod, then turned my water valve selector to Sanitize/Winterize. I set up my suction hose into a 5 gallon bucket of anti-freeze - all set, right? Nope. When starting the pump, I cannot...

    The New BIGHORN Full Body Paint Colors Are Here!

    Our new BH unit finally came in this week. It has one of the paint selections available, and it sat beside another special order unit with the other color option. Basically, the only difference is our unit has a platinum stripe and the other unit has a maroon stripe - the other colors are all...
