Was looking for the same thing when I ran across your post on line. Am placing an order at Advanced Bedding as they will custom make your sheets to the width, length and depth you want. They are a little pricey but we are ordering the 600 thread count sheets which should be smoother. The site...

We've had our 3410RE for over 2 years without any problems. I added some HDMI cables for Satellite Receiver and Blu-Ray player and at that time, I secured all the wiring with cable ties (zip ties) to make sure nothing got caught in the lift drive. Love this layout. Good luck with your future...

Marty, We have a 3410RE which is no longer in production. We love the floorplan. As others have noted, watchinig TV from the recliners as shown in the factory layout would not be comfortable. We just move the recliners out for a better viewing angle and it works for us. See photo. Good luck with...

Re: Kinpin Stabilizer Dylan, We are by no means 5th wheel experts, and have never used the king pin stabilizer. Whether you "NEED" one is a matter of taste. Our Bighorn is pretty solid in the vertical direction, but when someone walks around, we get some fore/aft and side to side movement...

I have a Hunter 44260 from Walmart, about $26. Works fine. My trailer came with the El-Cheapo Dometic analog t-stat which was not very accurate.

My coach has a louvered vent in the kitchen wall which is a return air passage to the furnace which is in the basement. I think all Bighorns have this vent somewhere. I know there are lots of other areas which are not closed off to the basement, like my drawers under the steps. I think the...

Bill, Are you satisfied with the Air Wedge? I was thinking about getting one for our long slide. The water does tend to pool up on that one and a little noisy if the wind is from the right direction. The other shorter slides are fine. Back to Cliff, I'd vote yes to the slide toppers. There is...

We didn't like the overhead light, so I improvised with a pendant 120V light from Lowe's. Uses a 13W (60W equivalant) globe shaped CFL. Puts a nice light on the table without too much heat. With the plug, it is easily removed for travel. When I find a brown switch and plug, I think it will look...

Here is the photo of my Dish 1000.2 showing 3 LNB outputs. As I mentioned before, these give the ability to see the signal strength with a meter for each sat. Hope this will help. George

Bill, When I have had had similar problems, it has been a tree blocking one sat and the other 2 are good. Sometimes a little wind can move tree branches enough to cause problems which did not exist the day before. Using the reciever and its signal strength meter to align the dish is VERY...

That app sounds really useful, especially around trees. As others have noted, getting the mast plum is the first step. I have a Dish 1000.2 (3 LNB for 3 sat). After fighting with a Dish 500 and a cheap meter, I knew there had to be a better way with a 3 sat system. Dish recommends pointing the...

Another option (although not cheap) is the Bear Bed http://www.bearbeds.com/ We had one in our previous trailer in a short queen and really enjoyed it. We sleep on a Slect Comfort at home and really like the individual firmness control. We custom ordered a 70x80 king to fit our Bighorn (the...

Has anyone tried one of these ??https://ssl.perfora.net/www.awningairwedge.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154c90e1595f940/shopdata/index.shopscript Just looking for an easy way to keep the water from pooling up on the main slide awning as well as some of the flapping in the wind. Comments or other...

Re: Need ideas for taveling tools Plastic zip ties are handy for tying things up. They saved my bacon once on a camper when I suffered a broken awning support arm. I was able to tie it together until I got home. George

Erika, Yes, we were under warranty, but barely. The other owner was out of warranty, but I believe he had the problem documented while he was still in warranty. George

I know there have been a lot of negative posts about Lippert, so I thought I'd share a positive story. In May, we took the Bighorn to our selling dealer (Bill Thomas Campers, Wentzville, MO) for some warranty work and complained about bucking/surging brakes when comming to a stop. When we picked...

I'd vote for some kind of fan upgrade. When we ordered our Bighorn, we asked if the factory could install the Fantastic Fan in the bathroom instead of the kitchen. They did and even located the fan thermostat in the bathroom. I then installed a Maxx Air Fan Mate cover which allows the fan to be...

Tom, It does seem like the brakes are being pulsed and I can imagine the controller doing that. However, when I apply the trailer brakes manually with the controller and not touching the truck brakes, I get the same jerking / bucking. Do you think the controller would do this? The truck is going...

No, the wheels are not locking. I'm not sure there is enough brake force to lock the wheels.

When slowing to a stop (below 15 MPH), the trailer brakes begin bucking as if the drums are out of round. I thought this might be caused by the factory brake controller, but I have applied the trailer brakes manually without touching the truck brakes and the results are the same. Braking from...

MeanGene, If you are considering the BH 3410RE and have located one, you'd better buy it. According to the Heartland site, the 3410RE is listed as "dealer stock only". I assume this model is being discontinued. We really like the 3410RE floorplan as it allows easy access to all of the kitchen...

We replaced the mattress in our new Bighorn 3410 with an Americana Bear bed. We chose this because they will custom make the size to your specifications at no additional charge, which Select Comfort will not do. We have used the new bed twice now and it has made a world of difference! If you...

Tom, I have read elswhere on this forum where some folks found 115V wiring had been damaged by chaffing with structure under the bed. It would be possible for a short to only exist when the slide is closed. If the external power is on during closing the slide or before opening, the circuit...

Hi Moose, Welcome to the forum. I had hoped someone with more experience would jump in and give you some feedback. We just took delivery of our 3410 a few weeks ago and this weekend will be our first trip. We also upgraded from a 30' TT. You already know the Cummins will pull most anything, but...

Denbill, Since we just took delivery of our 3410 last week, I can't offer any expert advice. I can tell you some of the things we considered in our selection. 1) auto vs manual: Unless you just like shifting, the auto is a no brainer. With my Dodge, the auto with 4.10 axle gains 3,000 lbs in...

:DWe took delivery of our new Bighorn last week and now I can see why so many of you love your Bighorn. We had worked with our dealer to have a few changes such as moving the Fantastic Fan to the bathroom and replacing the day/night shades in the living area with blinds. Heartland built our unit...

Thanks for the feedback from everyone. FYI - for future reference to anyone else out there - we ended up ordering an Americana Bear Bed. They will custom make your bed any size you need for no additional charge; offer a lifetime warranty on it; and provide free UPS shipping. We had one for 6...

The bedroom slideout on the Bighorns we have seen measure out at 70 1/2" wide. Since king sized beds actually measure 72" wide, has anyone out there tried putting a regular king size bed in their Bighorn? We were thinking of buying a Sleep Number bed but aren't sure if the extra 2" width will...

Thanks to all for the ideas/suggestions. Just got a call today from our salesman.....our Bighorn has been finished and should arrive any day now! Can't wait to get it!!!!

Hoping we can get some information concerning the unit we ordered in June. Our dealer has no information and we were hoping to get some news by now. The order was placed at Bill Thomas Camper in Wentzville, MO on June 5th. They keep telling us they have no information for us so thought we...

Jim, Thanks for the welcome. Anything I should pay close attention to during the PDI? Our dealer claims to do a thorough walkthrough of several hours while the hitch is being installed. Then we are supposed to have a on hiway road test. They have pads with full hookups where customers can spend...

We are looking forward to joining the ranks of Bighorn owners with all you great folks. This will be our first 5th wheel after 15 years of travel trailers. We have been shopping for quite some time and have not found anything that compares with the Bighorn. We are so excited to be getting such a...

Hi to all! We've been watching this site for quite a while and I must say it is great! We have been pulling travel trailers for 15 years and are ready to get a fiver. Really like the Bighorn 3410RE and wanted to get some real world feedback. Just upgraded the truck to a 2010 Ram 3500 SRW, crew...
