    Autolevel system

    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...

    Converted bathroom door to pivot door.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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...

    Refrigerator Venting

    -------------------------------------- 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...

    Refrigerator Venting

    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????

    Refrigerator Venting

    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...

    Weird Potty Problem

    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...

    3160EL Light Assembly/Wood Trim In Slide Coming Down

    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...

    Tire pressure

    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...

    Tire pressure

    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

    3160EL Light Assembly/Wood Trim In Slide Coming Down

    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...

    2018 BH3160EL slide lighting issue

    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.

    Water drains

    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.
