That by the way is the gas line!

Found this while doing an underside inspection. Vibration could cause a big problem. Cut bolts off.

OK, soft start unit on order. Thanks for all the input.

Found out that my 3100/2800w generator will not run the a/c unit in my 3160el. Will a 40003500 do the trick. Thanks in advance.

I used some plastic sheet that came off of some pallets, glued and stapled. I will do the interior locations as well. Thanks for the atta boy.

For those of you that live in the country and deal with mice in your trailer/5th wheel. As you can see the manufacturers don't do a great job of sealing plumbing and electrical pass throughs Here is what I am doing to keep them out of my living spaces and the tool for making templates. What do...

Found this manual with wiring diagram which was not in my original manual.... https://www.lippertcomponents.eu/assets/content/support/manuals/leveling/CCD-0001382.pdf You may be right about the secure mounting considering all of the other issues we've had. Thanks again.

Thanks for the picture. I mentioned waterproof because that is what the manual says? Just curious because sometimes after driving on mountainous roads, when I try to auto level, it errors and I have to reset the zero point. and I do make sure the I'm nose high before trying to auto level. I...

Where is the waterproof remote level sensor located?

We had our solar system installed last winter in AZ. Had it on our 2002 Montana and loved it. Used the same gentleman, Brian Boone. Does an excellent install. He is mobile if anyone want's info, let me know.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here it is... Wasn't too difficult and will be much more convenient.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the idea. We didn't like having to step down either. My solution is to flip the door so that it opens from the bedroom side. Had to rework the hinges and strike plate and patch some...

------------------------------------------- After much investigation and advice from repair facilities, I have decided to leave the vent grill in the original position, added additional insulation, and will install fans to help with venting. 'nuf said. Thanks to all.

------------------------------------------------- How did you connect them, on/off switch or temp/controlled?

------------------------------- Yes I am aware of the importance of keeping moisture out. I'm just disappointed in the vent design!

-------------------------------------- I have repacked the sides with insulation. I noticed that the aluminum sheet that directs the air over the fins also covers half of the vent plate ports. I ran the refer and could not feel much air flow from the vent. I then turned the vent plate upside...

I have a Norcold, but I imagine the principle is the same. I have look at the top vent and determined that if it was turned upside down, it works much better. Would need to fabricate eye brows to keep rain out but it evaluates the heat much better. Thoughts????

I have seen where people have added additional fans to help with the refrigerator vent system. I need to do the same. I was parked in a way that the wind was blowing against that side of the trailer and could feel air being push into the trailer at the refrigerator edges. Actually set of the gas...

Hi all, We keep our 2018 BH3160EL 5er in a shop/barn connected to power. I have noticed that the toilet bowl keeps filling with water even though the pump is off and there is very little water in the fresh tank. I understand that the water inlet flow valve may not be closing all the way, but...

Done! the fix included 3" X 3" square X 1" thick blocks glued and screwed to ceiling where the original screw holes were. If it comes down now, it will bring down the entire ceiling!

I just posted my progress on this same issue with pictures. Interested to know if it was the side over the loungers that came loose. It appears that they missed the stud on that end of mine. Work in progress.

I know that there have been posts on this subject before. While In AZ this year, this fixture started coming down. There was a very loud crack when this happened. I am now working on this issue and it appears that The 3" screws on one end barely hit the stud. I am waiting for my Walabot to...

Oh well, so much for dealer repairs. We were sitting in our chairs when it sounded like someone threw a large rock at the side of the trailer. Found wood plugs from the light framework on the floor and one corner of the framework separated from the ceiling. The screw in that corner no longer...

Ordered one today! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

So, looked at the rims, inside and out, and found no indication of suggested tires pressure. I would like to assume that being a Bighorn 3160EL, Heartland would put the 110 psi rims on since it came with 110 psi rated tires. I will reinflate to 110 psi and monitor tire wear. Sent from my...

My tires and the decal on the trailer state the pressure should be 110 psi. Heartland service tech said because I have aluminum rims, pressure should be no more than 80 psi. Does this sound accurate. Thanks in advance. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Our issue was that the led light string had come loose and showing down the middle of the ceiling fixture. The 5th wheel was still under warranty, so they repaired it. They actually pulled the whole thing down . When they did, the paper covering tore and they had to replace the panel's. This was...

Found the diagram for the antenna system and all seems correct. Will check again when we have cable available. Thanks. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Now for the next question. Having trouble getting cable TV to the living room tv. Got it to the TV in the bedroom. Is there any information on the Bnc connections? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Problem solved. Half way through the wiring under the slide a compression crimp completely corroded. Will try to attach a picture. Thanks for all the great advice. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

[CENTER] So I checked all fuses with an ohm meter, no issues. Pulled fuses panel, no loose wires. I did fine a lot of saw dust and 6 screws. And now to trace wires.

On the drivers side slide, the mood light and the light over the stove went dim and now don't work at all. Don't see any blown fuses and the radio still works. Don't appear to have 12v to the light switches. I thought the wiring would go down, but it goes up from the switches. Is this part of...

We have the 2018 BH3160EL as well. Had to have the dealer redo ours. We just drove form Oregon to AZ and all seems well. Had to have major warranty work done after we purchased ours. Would like to talk with you any time.

I know about the water drain under the back. Found another drain when filling the tank that is just open! Is this an over flow drain or should it have a shut off. This is a 2018 BH3160EL. Thanks in advance.

i have already put in a registration request and am waiting for a reply. Here is what I have been told: The RV Park is full for the event at this time. I will add you to the waiting list and we will notify you if and when a site becomes available. Thank you, Julie Bright Expo Center RV Park...

Thanks for letting us know. God bless, and Merry Christmas. Peter and Susie Wold PS. How close are you to Issaquah? A lot of family history there.

Thank you for the reply. We will be heading down to Quartzite Az in January for some warmer weather and to have our solar installed. So Dry camping is definitely a possibility. Will keep in touch. Thanks again. God bless and Merry Christmas!

Is there still space available for this rally?

What year is your 3160? We have a 2018. Which slide is this on? Would also like to see pictures. Thanks.

Heard back from Dexter and they are going to reimburse us for the parts and labor. My hat's off to Dexter for their attention to the customer and their warranty policy.
