I had the same problem. Turned out when they replaced my jack, they made a loop in the hose that caused an air trap. They took the jack off and bleed it correctly. Problem solved.

I don't understand why a dealer would want to do this? Heartland had no problem sending a new stove and dinning room table right away. My dealer put them in, repaired my punch list from our trial run and did some recalls on the AC. They just couldn't get Heartland to send the jack. Over my...

It's so sad when people have such problems with their new trailers. Most of the problem you listed were there before you took delivery. I'm camped next to a Heartland owner that hates his trailer because of all the problems. The small problems became big problems because they were not fixed...

I just did a thread on this. The caulking turned to dust in one year of use on my Heartland. Had to clean off all of the old and replace it. Would of payed an extra ten dollars and had them use some better quality caulking if I had the option. Have talked to many people sense and this is a...

Having voltage at all the breakers means the break in voltage is between the breaker and the outlets. Each slide has a j-box, before the flex line on the slide. Check those boxes for power next and let us know.

Nice. I've wanted to do that to my door as well. What size of strut did you use?

I had trailers before we went to 5th wheels. Started out with the equalizer hitch and ended up with bags. Used two sway control bars to stop the whip or make it a minimum. After we packed the trailer and hooked up, I would level the trailer to the truck using the bags. A level trailer, with...

Nice. I made panels for all my switches. I hate the loose fit hole and the lick&stick labels that they use.

I bet you get the " you need to check your connection every 90 day". After the first 90 days you are on your own regardless of workmen ship or defect.

When you are towing, you can add or subtract gain by hitting the plus or minus keys by the manual trailer brake handle. Find what you like and save the settings for that trailer. Start high and work down. Never the other way. Enjoy your new truck.

That is one big system. I love my system. 8:00 at night here in Oregon, On the computer, watching TV, the wife is printing reports and we charged everything that has a battery today. All on solar. So far this year, we have made and used 521Kw.

Nice, changes the whole look of the kitchen.

I towed a 29ft trailer with a half ton many years back. Added a second friction sway bar to the set up and it made all the difference in the world. Like others have said, you need to do the total package from tongue weight to tire pressure when towing but, you can feel it when you add the...

I ordered my trailer during the roll over time frame. It said in the contract that the factory had the right to change or eliminate any item. I changed that to, I had to be notified of any changes in year build. I ordered a 2016, when it came time to build it they decided mine would be a...

Sounds like you just want to keep your battery charged. Take some time and figure out what your power consumption is per day. Match a system that will keep your battery full. I like to use a company named Renogy. They do a kit that has everything you need. Gave you a link below. I now have...

I took those out and put in two lazy-boys that have a handle on the side. Works every time. Check all the connections before taking it in for repairs.

This^^^^^^^. Paper trail is your best friend. Send an e-mail to Heartland Customer Service. Take pictures and let them know about your concerns of not being able to have this repaired under warranty. Might as well get everything on the table up front. I had a problem with a jack under...

I've had both, a Cougar and a Bighorn. Doing most my own repairs, I can tell you the quality is about the same between the two. I went with the Heartland this go around because it would hold an apartment size, stack-able washer dryer. There where a few other feature that we wanted that...

Took me a week to clean off 84ft of bad caulking. I've never been up and down a ladder so many times in my life. Some of it came off with a large white eraser. Then six inches away it was still wet and sticky. The skin on the outside was dry but, under that was a gooey mess. Then I would go...

Re: Has Anyone Seen This? I will reach out to Heartland today and see what they have to say. We bought the rig new and there is no treatment on the roof other then what Heartland did, if any. Funny that it is just in the same two places on both sides. Caulking right next to it is just fine...

I was up on a ladder waxing our 2017 (3760) and saw the caulking, were the rubber roof meets the side molding, is cracking. You can rub it with your finger and it crumbles off. All the other joints are just fine. On the front and back caps, the caulking is fine on the caps but, cracking on...

I've always been told by the dealer reps that the weight rating on an axle is the safe load weight. Not how much it will carry before it breaks. You have to put a number on it because people need limits. If you have 7000lb axles under your trailer and have a 7000lb load on it, you can safely...

It's always sad when members have problems with their rigs. Take a few steps back and take a second look at what is going on under your trailer. There's millions of Dexter axles on the road that have no problems. I came off a bridge on I5 outside of Bakersfield Ca so hard that the shelf above...

We went with a 2017 3760. Have 14k miles on it to date. Built a towel rack that screwed to the sink cabinet and the top of the shower stall. Holds towels and wash clothes. Put two bath towel holders on the wall behind the head. The TP holder is inside closet, screwed to the door. I've never...

The wife and I are full time in our Bighorn 3760EL. Down south right now, have some stops we want to make before we go to her folks for the holidays. There was room in our rig for a apartment size stack-able with a gas dryer. We can do blankets and sheets in it with no problem. Takes 25...

I don't think that is a field fix. Over the Fourth of July, we had 4 trailers with leaking hydraulics in the camp ground. I'd say that you are going to replace the hose and check the others.

This ^^^^^^^^^^ x2.

Don't laugh but, when we found the hide-a-bed that we wanted. I told the furniture store that I would buy it if, they delivered it and put it in our 5th wheel. After taking out the old one. Gave them the door size and they said no problem. Two big boys came out and took like five minutes...

We had this problem while running the AC in our 3760EL. Checked all the pipes and traps and couldn't find where it was coming from. Went up on the roof and sprayed non-expanding foam around the vent pipes, filling in the void. My vent pipes had no give to them. What I found was the duct work...

Well.....................he now has skin in the game.

Welcome to the forum from the West coast. The wife and I went full time last year after we retired. Bought a new 5th and truck, then hit the road. Have over 7k miles on the rig so far. So much to see and do in the lower 48. I wonder now, how I had time to work.

Over the fourth we were camping in a Oregon park with family and friends. A camper three doors down thought it would be a good idea to run up to an Indian Reservation in Washington, buy class 1.3G commercial fireworks, bring them back to Oregon and light them off on top of his picnic tables...

I took a few for you. It holds two bikes but, only have one on it now. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

Nice web page. I don't do Facebook however. We are back in Oregon after being south all winter. Hope to see you on the road some day. For extra points, your dog's name Zul, was from the movie Ghost Busters.

I built a bike rack that bolted to the hard points on the frame. There's a thread around here some place of the build. My dealer really liked the install and said only trailer hitches void the frame warranty. A bolt on bike rack are what the hard point are for. Have close to 4k miles on it...

This is what I installed on my 5th. Comes as a kit with everything you need. I went on-line and got it for half price. Run two batteries. We can watch two hours of tv a night using the invertor and still have plenty of battery to run the furnace all night. Batteries read 11.5 in the...

That is how mine was set up when I got it. The crown in the roads out in Oregon is enough that when we got to where we were going, 20% of the tank had drained out. I tied the two over flows together and ran them up into the center island with an anti-syphon loop at the top then back out to the...

Welcome to the forum. We are full time in our 3760 and enjoy the open floor plan and walk around island in the kitchen. The seven foot slide outs make the trailer feel bigger. The big windows and sitting across from the tv is a plus. The closet for the washer and dryer was big enough for a...

All welded up with a coat of paint. Two offsets raised the bike rack 7 inches. Ran some straps to tie in the angles of the offsets. From the bike rack frame down to to hard points were it bolts to the trailer frame is 1 1/8 x .083 square tubing. That down angle in compression will take out...

Looks nice. I think the key is to keep the movement out of the mounts. We'll see if it will hold my body weight when done. That will be a true test of my welds.lol
