I have a small solar panel to hook up to my 2 batteries. I have conflicting ways to hook up. Do the clips from the panel hook to one battery or the positive on one battery and the negative on the other or does it matter. Thanks

For tire info from an expert go to rvtiresafety.net.

For traveling non freeway routes I use the Motor Carrier's map book. Any road a semi can go on is marked in orange. If they can go-I can go. Purchase on Amazon or any truck stop.

I have filed a complaint with the National Hwy. Traffic Safety Commission. This is a problem with General Motor's trucks starting in 2009. The problem is NOT in the trailer. GM has a CYA bulletin. The govt has opened a case on this. The majority of people do not know you have no brakes when...

WOW Is this another Thor decision to save money? Thank you very much

Have a 2017 Bighorn 3160. We have been lucky and never had to winterize an RV for 26 years. It is coming soon. I cannot see the low point drains anywhere. I have a feeling they were never put through the bottom cover. Can anyone give me a close idea where the drains are?

When mine did that I found that when turning the Anderson valve to city, go past city and then turn back. Works without spending money.

We live in Tucson, AZ We have used a Sunbrella fabric cover and used for 9 years. We have the dust devil winds. Have had NO problems.

I have filed a complaint with the National Highway Traffic Safety Commission. Hopefully some others will too before someone gets killed when not having brakes

I filed a complaint with the National Highway Traffic Safety Commission today about GM vehicles getting the Check Trailer Wiring prompt. 1-888-327-4236 After spending almost $900 I have found this problem is in the truck. I feel someone is going to get hurt of killed when we lose our brakes.

I hope this gets to everyone. I started having the check trailer wiring as we started cross country. Spent a fortune trying to get it fixed. There is a GM bulletin PITT5311F stating GM vehicles from2014 to 2020 need a 7 prong plug on the trailer made by Pollak. This makes NO sense since the...

Lots of info here BUT here is what was wrong with my Bighorn. Two things. One of the brake wires was rubbing on the frame and there was a bare spot. This was from the factory. My tech took out about 18 inches of wire to shorten the length. Also they found a connector from the factory that...

Do you have a TPMS ? If not. get one asap.

Resolved Had the man come out. Found a wire rubbing on the frame that was shorting out. He also took our 2 feet of unnecessary wiring for the brakes. 2017 Bighorn.

I developed a brake problem today putting my 2017 Bighorn in storage today. I was in the subdivision going to our storage area. The dash on our 2019 Chevrolet said check trailer wiring. I stopped and NO brakes but all lights were working. Drove just a bit and dash said trailer connected...

When looking at a tire load chart there is understandably a difference in the load for duel and single tires. I know that on a motorhome the rear wheels would be duel and you would use the duel chart. However, on a 5th wheel the tires are not side by side but still fairly close. Would you use...

Well, I have tried everything. Added 2 quarts of Cat, use Snap Pads, have changed oil. Still popping from all 6 jacks. I have concluded it is from our AZ temperature change. The more change the louder the popping.:confused:

For the past year our fireplace will only run on low heat. Once in a while it will run for a while and then just shut off. I have cleaned with compressor. Any ideas.

In all my years traveling I have never had this problem. When running the furnace in the morning, we are getting a pulsating noise from the regulator. Furnace is working fine. Only turn on once in the morning to help the electric heater.and fireplace. ANy ideas? Thanks

Have a 2017 Bighorn. A screw came out of the computer desk under theTV and jammed to where I can only get the desk out about 3 inches. Can NOT figure how to release the slides on the pull out desk to get it out. Any help? Thanks

We just purchased a new truck and hitch. When hooked up, our Bighorn is level. However we only have about 4 5/8 clearance with the side of the truck. What is your opinion? I hate to raise the hitch and have the 5th wheel out of level.

We have a 2017 Bighorn 3160. The water tank drain had been working. Now when I open the drain nothing comes out. I ran a wire up it and the wire hits something solid. Any ideas? I know I can use my pump. Repair guy says would have to take bottom covering of 5th wheel off and possibly...

So my regulator on my second tank started to malfunction a couple of weeks ago. Took all apart and bought a new one. Fast forward to today and want to make sure I am not messing up. The arrow stamped on the top and marked IN and OUT. The OUT is the for the hose coming from the tank into the...

I have mine marked 1-2-3-4- with white paint so they stay in the same place.

Had that problem. Now when switching to the city water setting I go past it and then back. Never had a problem again.

Re: Universal Docking System Holding Tank Valves On both my 2010 Bighorn and now my 2017 Bighorn I had to have the cable on my black tank changed from 10 foot to 6 foot in length. Now works with one finger. My repair guy wonders why Heartland doesn't learn. He has changed too many to count.

LOL It worked.

Our rear MCD shade is stuck in up position. Any suggestions to solve the problem?

Just had the black tank cable replaced on my 2017 Bighorn. Old cable was 10 feet long with a big loop. New cable is 6 feet. Works like a charm. The thing is I had the same problem on my 2010 Bighorn. You would think the factory would learn by now plus what they would save in cost. Thor is...

For those of you that use Meguiar's Flagship Cleaner Wax, do use directly on the graphics? I have always used Nu Finish and put 303 on the graphics before waxing. Thanks

I can hardly get my black tank valve open. Getting it repaired next week. Mobile guy says it is a common problem of too long a cable. Sorry I can't give you the length. Had a shorter cable put on our 2010 Bighorn.

Not sure what brand truck you have. Had same problem with my 2008 Chevrolet. Come to find out there was a connection for the wire to charge the trailer battery under the truck that was never connected at the factory.

We have a 2017 Bighorn. Our 2010 Bighorn was excellent. Fit and finish was great. the only problem we had was a front jack problem after 6 years. With the 2017 the problems that showed up are unacceptable for a supposedly high line unit. Our unit was full of sawdust. One air return was...

I use a bucket of hot water with 1 cup of Murphy's oil soap and 1 cup of Spic & Span. Cleans great and does not affect the wax on the side b

We had cupping on our Bighorn last year. The rear axle was bent. NO idea how it happened.

Heartland sent me to 3 different repair shops. Each were the greatest thing since sliced bread. All 3 said the shower needed to be replaced. When I took the unit to Heartland; the rep ( I do not want to tell his name ) was non committal but that was when I was sent to shop #3. That is when...

For the moderator, I do not consider this bashing Heartland. I am just stating the facts of our 5th wheel. Have had our 2017 3160 Bighorn for 15 months and approximately 11,000 miles. We had a 2010 3155 Bighorn and the quality was GREAT and Heartland customer service was outstanding. Ordered...
