    rv and truck sway

    Still have not found out reason for sway. Trying to determine if I am overloaded. My pin weight is 2716, and the GVWR of the Big Horn 3760 is 16,000 and dry weight is 13,240. My 2018 2500 Ram with 6.7 Cummins can tow 17,000. Have not had opportunity to weight the unit yet, but am trying to...

    Is a Surburban 42,000 btu enough

    We are presently rving in Central TX in a 2019 Big Horn 3760 EL, which has a 42,000 btu furnace. The forecast for the next couple of days is 8 and 9 degrees F at night. I suspect the furnace will run constantly during these cold temps. Does anyone know if this furnace is capable of keeping...

    rv and truck sway

    Thanks to all for your thoughts and ideas. The truck is going in the garage tomorrow to check the springs, suspension, and hitch bolts etc. If that checks out the Big Horn is going to the rv repair shop to check the suspension, wheels and tires as well. The hitch is centered over the...

    rv and truck sway

    Not sure of pin weight. Ram specs indicate I can pull a little over 17,100. No tire change in the last year. Nothing has really changed sine I bought the unit in 2018. Perhaps I have a larger cargo load these last two times??

    rv and truck sway

    Not sure if anyone has this experience, but I have had this happen the last two times we were out. We are towing a a 42 ft. Bighorn, grossing out about 16,000 lbs. with a 2018 Ram 2500 diesel. When starting up and accelerating, around 40 mph, the trailer and truck start to sway. By backing off...

    Center stabilizer dropping while in storage

    Thanks, I was hoping it would be something simple, but I'll have it checked out. Is this something that can be fixed or have to be replaced.

    Center stabilizer dropping while in storage

    We have a 2018 Big Horn E3760 and store the unit with the stabilizer legs up. After a couple of months the left center stabilizer seems to have dropped down about 4 inches. The hydraulic fluid tank is full. No apparent leaks on the ground. Appreciate any comments or ideas. Thanks

    Replace Lippert 1621HD kingpin

    Just a final note to my previous post. I ended up putting the original Lippert 1621HD pin box back on. After several hours of troubleshooting, we discovered that the rubber pin box by Moryde, even though it is the same dimensions, will move horizontally 2-3 inches when making a sharp turn...

    Replace Lippert 1621HD kingpin

    I have a 2019 Heartland EL 3760 which I am pulling with a 2018 Ram 2500, diesel, 6 1/2 foot bed. I recently replaced the OEM Lippert 1621HD pin box with a (supposedly compatible) Moyrde 1621HD rubber pin box for a smoother ride and less chucking. First time out, I made a sharp right turn and...

    Black tank will not empty

    Thanks to all the members for their suggestions. We are fairly new about RVing (3 years) and have not had this problem before. I have tried several suggestions, to no avail. Right now we are back in the storage area waiting for a warmer day, so I can try back flushing again. The first back...

    Black tank will not empty

    My 2019 Bighorn 3760EL black tank shows 2/3 full on the monitor panel, however, with the black vale open it still registers 2/3 full. I did make the mistake of leaving the black tank valve open while hooked up to sewer line. (The manual says Never do this) So I suspect either my tank line is...

    batteries draining

    Thanks for the advice. I have two cutoff switches on the batteries which I turned off.. I also have a back up camera that is live all the time which probably did not help my battery charge. I parked it for the next week and will check it then to see if the cut off switches help. Thanks again.

    batteries draining

    I have a similar problem. New 2019 Big Horn 3760 EL. Bought it two months ago, and after leaving it stored for two weeks or so, not enough battery to raise the feet for hook up. Have to idle truck for 30 minutes or so to charge the batteries. Is this normal or do I have a bad battery...
