    Jesstalkn,i believe that could be it. I noticed an extra control by the furnace-air conditioner control and wondered what the heck it was. Now all I have to do is figure it out and hope it works. Thank you. Bill

    Let me vent a little....

    Give me a break guys. the previous owners had no way of know the slide out floor was rotten, if so i would have caught it on the pdi. We bought it from a dealer and I am sure he didn't know it. I would think you all have been on forums and have been owners long enough to be aware of the quality...

    Bought a used 2009 Big Horn 3580RL a month or so ago. Looked pretty nice. the Better half really liked it. Trouble with the living room slide, marking the floor, some broken wood in the area where the washer and dryer would be. Took it to a repair shop. Wife ask me if I noticed the soft spot...

    ATF: Bighorn - Sagging front overhang fiberglass

    I can't believe it, I have the same fifth wheel, purchased about a month ago and it had the same problem. It did have a washer and dryer, which we had removed. I had the dealer replace the fiberglass and he said he looked inside and no water damage. There was none where the washer and dryer were.

    ATF: Bighorn - Wood Damage

    The way this wood is damaged suggests damage from the inside. Very recent. There was a washer and dryer in the rig and we had the dealer remove them. The wavy filon was replaced. The rig goes to a repair shop on September 12 and I will have them check this damaged wood area. Bill

    ATF: Bighorn - Wood Damage

    Thank you for you reply. When we bought this, very recently, the fiberglass under the front area (king pin area) was very wavy and we had the dealer fix that. We are taking it to a repair shop next month for some serious slide repair. Thinking we made a mistake buying this. Bill

    Disappointed in Manufacturer

    ****, I thought Heartland was a better builder. I guess with these blood suckers, all that matters really is money. I just purchased a seven year old Big Horn and it is in for all three slides to be repaired. Big Horn, in the luxury group, so they put one air conditioner on a 38 footer. They're...

    ATF: Bighorn - skirts for Big Horn

    Just in case they get the slides fixed (all three)on my seven year old Big Horn I want to buy a skirt for the door side. Due to the design, if you are standing between the skirt and door and don't be careful when you turn around, you hip will hit the edge of the skirt and break the plastic...

    Bighorn - Saging Front Overhang

    Just purchased a 2009 Big Horn with the same problem. It had a washer and dryer, but found no evidence of leakage. The fiber glass had puled away from the trim. Had the dealer install new fiber glass before it left the lot. I will be keeping an eye on it.

    ATF: Bighorn - Rubber wheels on slide

    Dave, thank you for the reply. I have looked and couldn't see any thing. If you can believe it, the previous owner let a plastic jar get under the slide and the dealer didn't know it( should have), that was fun to get out from under the slide The propane tanks in the Big Horn are short and fat...

    ATF: Bighorn - Rubber wheels on slide

    Bob, thank you for the info. I'm sure I would have a **** of time trying to post a pic. I will be taking it to my mechanic on the 4th of August and see what can be done. Needs a couple things. Looks like 20 pound short propane tanks, I bought two 40 pounders and will try to get them installed.

    Enough truck?

    Thanks, guys, for all the advice and help. If I could afford a new Dodge, I wouldn't have been asking for advice, I'd have anew dually. I totally agree that the 2003 Dodge Ram has no hold back power. My next pickup will have a manual tranny so I can add an exhaust brake. I checked in to a...
