Greetings, I'm getting ready to equalize the batteries in our RV and will be running the voltage up to 16.2 volts for two hours. I usually just turn the refrigerator off and keep the doors closed but with the weather warming up it would be nice to be able to just let the refrigerator on...

Hello fellow campers, My wife and I have a Bighorn 5th wheel that we've had for about 6 years and for some reason the pilot won't light on the oven. It has always worked fine up until now. I don't think it's the thermocouple as it will the burner will light and stay lit if I hold a lighter...

Greetings campers, My wife and I spent the winter in Arizona and when we headed back to Michigan I noticed that the slides were opening slightly. I closed all three valves and the only one that opened then was the offdoor slide so I just kept the tank topped off and made it home. Now I have dug...

Greetings, We have a 2011 Bighorn and just recently the landing jacks have been blowing the 30 amp fuses and I'm wondering if something needs to be lubed. Same thing on the big slide only that one has a self resetting breaker on it. I suspect that the landing jacks also were fused with a...

Greetings fellow RV'er's, My wife and I have a Bighorn 3055 and have never been real thrilled with the Apollo half time microwave. My wife likes to make popcorn and it just doesn't seem to have the power to do it so she had been using an air popper but that's just one more thing we have to take...

I'm getting ready to mound a couple of 280 watt panels on the roof of our 34 foot Bighorn 5th wheel. I'm using a couple of 10 foot lengths of unistrut to mount them on and am wondering what kind of fasteners to use to mount the unistrut. I'm planning on using 1/4" stainless steel lag screws and...

Greetings Campers, We have a 2010 bighorn 3055RL. We've had if for about three years and the refrigerator has always worked fine until this winter while we were full timing in it. We left for a weekend and when we came back the refrigerator had an error message. I turned it off and back on and...

Hi Campers, My wife and I were traveling from Michigan to Arizona for the winter several months ago. When we stopped for the night in Texas I noticed that a blade was broken on our ceiling fan. Did a little looking and couldn't find one locally so I just took what was left of the broken one off...

Greetings, I am wondering if anyone has a part number for a fender skirt for a Bighorn 3055. I have found several of them online but the measurements don't match. One of ours is cracked, probably due to being over-tightened at the factory. There is also no bracket in the middle to keep it from...

Hello, I have a few questions about using this site. 1. Posting pictures. What is everybody using to host photos? I used to use Photobucket but after they decided to hold my photos hostage I don't want to use them anymore. Suggestions welcome. 2. New posts: Sometimes I click on new posts...

Hello, The pocket door at the top of the steps in our 3055RL keeps coming off of the hardware. The plastic lever that is supposed to lock it in place keeps coming loose on one end of the door and it won't stay latched. Every time we pull the RV somewhere it is off when we get where we are...

Greetings fellow campers, I noticed on our trip from Michigan to the Southwest that we are having an issue with the trim showing movement under the bedroom slide on our 3055 Bighorn fifth wheel. The only thing that I can figure is that maybe a weld let loose on the frame. Door side still looks...

Happy New Year Everyone. My wife and I just rolled in to Deming New Mexico where we will be spending the next month or so before heading to our property up by Kingman Arizona. As I was raising the trailer with the landing jacks so I could unhook the trailer the jacks quit running. I had just...

Help, We are on our way to Arizona from Michigan and when I turned the bypass valve for the water heater to un-bypass it we get only partial hot water. It acts like it's not choosing just hot water but mixing hot and cold. I did have a problem last year with the lever rounding out where it fits...

Hello, I have a question about mounting a television to an outside wall. I bought a 28" smart tv for the bedroom and it is a little too tall to just set on the tv shelf when it is mounted to the pedestal. I also want to be able to mount it on a articulating mount so I don't have to take it down...

Hello, Like the title states, I am looking for a new lever for the water heater bypass valve. The one on our Bighorn is a red lever and it turns 90 degrees. Earlier this winter when we got to warmer weather I turned the valve and didn't get any hot water into the heater. I pulled the lever off...

Hello, My wife and I are traveling in our Bighorn 3055RL and this morning while parked and listening to the radio, the radio quit playing. It seems that the power in the entertainment slide and the power on the back wall are out. I checked the breakers and they are all in the proper position. I...

Hello, I am looking for a source for drawer guides for the drawer beneath our inflatable sofa. I called Heartland after reading on this forum that they were usually pretty fair on prices but they quoted me $55.00 for a pair and that seems like about twice what they should cost. Does anyone have...

My wife and I have been living in our 3150 Bighorn 5th wheel since we left Michigan on January 4, 2017. We spent the first few nights in Walmart parking lots just trying to get away from the cold weather. Long days of driving and short nights of sleeping. Charging system seemed to work fine...

Hello, My wife and I made it to our property in Arizona after a slightly rough start getting out of Michigan. We are off grid so we make all of our own power. We do this with the help of a Honda 2,000 watt inverter generator, a Air-x 400 watt wind generator and a couple of 150 watt solar...

Greetings, We have a 2010 Big Horn 3055 and we are having problems with the fantastic fan. While camping in Texas last week I decided to try the fan out. It seemed to work fine. An hour or so later I heard the motor that raised the cover running. It opened up then closed. Half hour or so later...

Greetings, We are having an intermittent problem with our furnace on our 3055 Big Horn. After having a mobile tech come out to troubleshoot it when it was completely dead the tech replaced the thermostat and everything seemed good. Fast forward a few weeks and we were packing things for the...

Hello, My wife and I bought a 2010 Bighorn 3055 a couple of months ago and when we had the A/C running the fan wouldn't turn on when the thermostat fan setting was set to auto. It ran fine on lo or hi setting and kept running when the A/C shut off. Anyone have any ideas? I'm guessing something...

Greetings, My wife and I recently bought a very clean 2010 Bighorn 3055RL. It is replacing a Montana 3280RL that we have had for 9 years. So far we really like some of the features of the much newer Bighorn like being able to use the kitchen without having to open slides. There are a few...
