I just came back from the body shop where my truck is in for repairs from a blow out. The body shop had to take the bed off and they informed me that two bolts holding the hitch rails on were only hand tight. I normally go under the truck to check the bolts once a year and I was surprised to...

I am posting this for Dennych1 who is out camping with limited internet. He has a 2014 BH 3160 EL. He installed Shaw vinyl planking last week and now the curb side floor, which drops down to level interior floor, is rubbing when the wall is brought in. He tried calling HL without getting an...

I have a Splendide stackable dryer that has burnt wires after 1 1/2 years of service. The connection block by the service cord has all melted parts. I called the company and the new parts are on the way. My concern is that since we only go out in the RV 3 months out of the year, I had very...

We started pulling our door side slide wall in on our 2016 Bighorn when we noticed a major problem, the top of the wall did not come in, only the bottom. We stopped the wall movement immediately and took a picture. We then pushed on the outside wall and bumped the switch outward and the wall...

I ordered my 2016 BH with the back flimsy receiver just for emergency use, well that time is here. I need to carry a 80 lbs. scooter (wheel chair). I was wondering if anyone else has used the factory installed receiver for handicap equipment. I have found an aluminum carrier 28" by 48" from...

I had my 2016 go back to the dealer for AC Tchnical Service Bulletin (TSB) for moisture on the ceiling. I was wondering if anyone else had this TSB done and if so if any new AC vents were added. At the Tampa Show I noticed the model that I have, BH 3160 EL, now has twice as many ceiling vents...

I have a Jensen JWM9A that has lost power. The radio is installed right over the TV in a Bighorn 2016. I checked the fuses in the fuse area and all are good. Next I want to check power to the unit but I can't figure out how to remove the unit. I have checked the shelf above and under the unit...

The refrigerator in our Bighorn 3160 does not always switch to propane when there is no shore power. Propane works when the wall is out, but not when the wall is pulled in. Seems like the propane hose becomes pinched when the wall is pulled in. Tomorrow I will try to adjust or relocate the...

Today while on I71 our microwave door opened and the glass dish was teetering on the the edge, one more bump and it would have fallen. Never had this problem before with other RV's that we have owned. So one more thing to do before we move, remove the glass dish. I heard last week that our...

The BH theater seating has four cup holders in which I was able to attach a 15" removable table top to the two middle cup holders. I bought a 15" round pine ready board, cut a 3" slice off it and to the underside attached two columns if disks. These disks fit into existing cup holders. When not...

I am looking for a current PDI list and I was wondering if anyone had a good list that worked. I know I have seen some in the past, but I have been unable to locate one. Thanks.

We finally decided on a new Bighorn and trading in our LM. We decided on the BH 3160 EL with full body paint. We are not yet convinced on the residential refrigerators that the LM seems to come with and the 18 cubic foot gas refrig will be fine for us. In looking for a new unit, one of biggest...

Barbara and Den (dennych1), congratulations on your new Big Horn 3260Elite that you picked up today. May you have many happy years with your RV as we have had with ours, after all you introduced us to Heartland. Now Mary and I can no longer call you an SOB (some other brand). Now we can also go...

While traveling down a mountain road in CO. this summer, our tire monitor went off for low pressure. When we pulled over, we found the nut locking down the metal stem was loose and leaking air. We guess the stem probably came loose from taking the tire sender on and off. The valve was tightened...

I have never not been an advocate for re-packing wheel bearings every year, but instead by miles. Since my first RV, it has always been 14,000-24,000 miles, but not anymore. I upgraded my axle from 7K to 8K in 2011 while in Indiana by Lippert. Since then, I have gone approximately 6,500 miles so...

Just tried to retract my rear leveling system and the curb side piston will not retract, but extends with slight pressure. I called Lipperd customer support and they said it sounded like O ring is bypassing. I tried to jack unit with a bottle jack, but piston keeps coming down to a point where...

After going on the RV roof last weekend, I did not get a warm and fuzzy feeling using the rungs of the ladder with cracked end caps. All seven plastic end caps facing the sun were broken beyond repair. The left side end caps are fine. I decided that plastic was not good, so I decided to use...

My 2011 Landmark has 10 florescent ceiling light fixtures in it and at a replacement price of approx. $100 per LED light, I was looking for a way to convert the florescent lights with LED lights. I saw a YouTube video by RVGeek where a light fixture was converted to 12 volt LED Strip Lights. My...

I just found this tool in Home Depot that is used with a Vice-grip pliers to tighten PEX fittings on 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" fittings. For the few times that I will use this tool, $24.76 is a good investment for emergency water leaks. On the HD web site, it is almost $50, might have been a miss...

Last outing my rear electric stabilizer quit working, 12 volts was going to motor. I took the motor apart and it was all rusted, springs for the brushes were completely gone. I was able to steal a spring from a ball point, cut it in thirds, cleaned rust, back to normal. Problem was the wire...

After three seasons, my keyless entry stopped working. I cleaned the two posts on door jam and installed new exterior key pad battery, but still did not work. I took the inside panel off and cleaned connections as well as wires on sliding post. Something was not making a good connection, it now...

Yesterday, I found the lights out over my sofa. Fuse was good. I took the two switches out and there was no voltage. I then pulled the paneling back, moved the wires around, and saw sparks, a wire came off its connection. After jumping the wire, the lights would not works. My meter showed 12...

Hi all, I am looking to replace my sofa to sit across the rear of the RV. There are opposing walls that come in that gives me 32.5" space, and the sofa I am looking at is 31", not much room for error. My question is, has anyone heard of or ever dealt with discountrvfurniture.com, they are...

I upgrade to 8K axles after the Goshen rally. I would like to try and find some non-China bearings to carry as spares along with a spare hub. I have picked up the seals from Camping World. Does anyone know the bearing part numbers for the 8K axles? Does anyone know if the 7K hub with 2 inch...

The pressure relief valve on my water heater began leaking badly. Today was the day to replace the valve. The valve was replaced in about 5 minutes, but it still leaked when water pump was turned on. The pump was shut off, then switched on and it stayed off until I opened a faucet, it came on...

Today we lost the wheel off our RV and we could not find it. I watch my wheels often, and as soon as I saw the rear road side tire of RV at a strange angle, I pulled over only to find the wheel missing. I unhooked the RV and looked for two hours, tire was not found. I had to drive on a winding...

Does anyone else have scratches on the kitchen counter top in 2011 Grand Canyon from the rubber seal/flap located about 4 inches under the appliance garage? Seems when the slide out is closed and while traveling down the road the seal/flap scratches the counter. The models built in the first 5-6...

I have had a clanging sound from my landing gear, mostly the curb side of the RV. I believe some have described this as the "Lippert Alarm Clock". I have traced the noise to the pod/foot. I have sprayed or soaked the pod in the past and the sound has stopped for the last two trips. At home it...

I was unable to reach some outside patio lights that I keep in the storeage area above the battery. I had to use a coat hanger to get them out. I then measured the space and found it to be 43 inches deep, much longer then my arm. I took 30 minutes out today and made a drawer with scrape wood. I...

I own a Grand Canyon 2011. While operating the bedroom slide, the circuit breaker for the bedroom slide cut out 2-3 times during the operation. I found the breaker location next to the battery shut off switch and was surprised to find it was only 8 amps. I have replaced it with a new 20 amp...

I own a 2011 Grand Canyon and use the hallway closets (across from bathroom door) as a pantry. I am looking for ideas of how others use these two closets. I usually re-invent the wheel, but I thought I might get other ideas before I start. My first thought is to make and install wooden...
