Good Evening, I have a leaking hydraulic jack on my Level-up system. This system was one of the original add-ons and it was purchased about 8 years ago during a Goshen rally. I began having a problem where I was losing my level after the coach sat for a few weeks, but I never detected a leak...

So....I'm getting ready in a few weeks to set up at a resort in Mesa, AZ for most of Feb/Mar and I have a parking problem. The resort is booked and my spot is extremely tight since it has a tree and light post that I have to get in between while backing in. In the past, an RV dealership next...

This is our first winter with a Sleep Number Bed in the coach. I wasn’t thinking about filling it with the “Pink Stuff” but was wondering if anyone changed air pressure or took the pump home for the winter. Thanks for the advice, Chuck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We have a 2009 BH 3580RL. I'm on the road and ran into a problem with the kitchen/living room slide circuit. We were running the kitchen/living room slide in and popped a fuse (automobile blade fuse not circuit breaker). The kitchen slide was completely closed but the living room slide was...

I need to purchase a tire guage for the truck/5th Wheel that will support 110lbs. Any favorites out there? I tried the battery operated type a few years back and it didn't last too long. Thanks in advance. Chuck D

So....we're out on the road for one of our first semi-retired trips and I'm having a problem with my awning. We are at a campground in St. Augustine, FL and I tried to roll out the awning. It went about 2-3 ft and hit a hard stop. I let up on the switch so I didn't pop a breaker, but then...

We got a new truck and had to find a hitch to match a B&W Turnball Gooseneck. I got some really good input from a previous post and narrowed it down to the Andersen Ultimate and B&W Companion which both had great reviews by their owners. I selected the Companion because I'm not the greatest at...

So...... We opened up the wallet and purchased a 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500HD Crew Cab Shortbed that was equipped with B&W Turnball underbed hitch. I like the idea of not having rails in the bed, but I also like the performance of our Airbox 5th Wheel hitch (which requires rails), that we used...

I had a problem with my Chevy heater control a few years ago and should have posted my solution since I received a couple of inquiries regarding the same problem. The thread is currently closed due to its age so I thought I'd repost a discussion that was developed through the forum. I've...

Quick question??? I'm installing new dump valves and pull cables this week (hopefully). Any suggestion for tools/methods for cutting the pull cable/cable housings to proper length? My current cables are getting really tight and need to be replaced before something breaks. Thanks in advance...

So.....I bit the bullet and purchased the Goodyear G614's for my 2009 BH 3580RL. I'm replacing the Freestar tires that have around 10,000 miles on them and were manufactured in June 2008. The tires have always worn wheel covers and don't look too bad considering the age. There is plenty of...

We were truly blessed last Sunday when several tornadoes ripped through the Midwest leaving a trail of destruction. We lost 6 people to the storm and our prayers go out to those families, but the toll could have been much higher given the number and strength of these tornadoes. The hardest hit...

Water Pump Issue….please excuse the long post. I ran into a problem this week with my fresh water supply system. I added some water to the tank (1/4 tank per the indicator) for use during a parking lot overnight while en route to the Iowa Rally. When I flipped the switch in the coach I could...

I just purchased an older 2 bag AirSafe AirBox Revolution hitch from an RV parts guy in Florida that was going out of business. The hitch is unused and was acting as a store demo unit. I received the hitch via FedEx in 3 separate boxes and had a local trailer hitch guy install the unit. When...

I thought I read up on the posts and was confident that I had properly installed the Jack Antenna - complete mast type, but I must have a problem since my reception is way off. I may have a problem with the coax, but unfortunately I screwed and caulked it all down to the roof. Here is what...

Just a quick note to say thanks to Mike and the folks at TST Inc. I had a problem with some 510 sensors and shipped them back last Friday. I received a call from Mike on Tuesday afternoon and he provided a quick resolution since the replacement units are being shipped back to me as I write...

I ran into a problem this year as I prepared to winterize my coach and was unable to draw anti-freeze. Some troubleshooting revealed that the plastic handles on the 3 way valves (both of them), developed cracks at the base and would not turn the valves to the proper position. I discovered this...

I ran into a couple of problems while winterizing my 2009 BH3580 and was looking for some advice. I think I've had some past issues which I'm hoping to address through some guidance (obtained through the forum) and Spring repairs since I was able to winterize my coach. The first problem was...

As part of the Illinois Rally, I asked for some help and we had a class on packing wheel bearings by hand (special thanks to Dave, Jon, Jan, Ken and the peanut gallery). We had a great time and I learned from some very experienced folks. Prior to this lesson, I pumped grease into the zerk...

I have a 2009 BH 3580RL and am having intermittent problems with my Landing Gear/LevelUp system. On occasion, I start to Autolevel and a solenoid begins rattle before stopping the process. This was not a regular occurrence, but did happen enough to cause concern. At times, it would also...

We wanted to thank Steve Kennel, Warranty and Service Rep, Chris, Service Manager and his team for the excellent out of warranty work which was recently performed on our 2009 BH 3580. We've thoroughly enjoyed our coach every seasonal weekend at a local campground and during 3-4 road trips per...

Hello....I hope I'm in the right place. I'm looking for some help with my truck heating system. I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with a dual control (digital display) heater/ac module. The heat will not turn on until I set the temperature to 90 degrees (max setting). If I drop it down to...

I have a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Diesel with a funny noise. At low speed/rpm's I have a sound from the engine compartment that sounds like chirping or a bunch of crickets. The sound is most noticeable around 25-35 mph. I can replicate the sound by lightly pressing the accelerator...

I was cleaning the oven and noticed a 4" coiled wire stuck in the upper grill. It appears to be a heating coil that may have been part of the oven. The oven seems to be working, but I am somewhat concerned. Any suggestions? Thanks

I have a 2009 BH 3580 with a stainless steel sink in the kitchen. I noticed that the sink has some discoloration and small traces of rust. Any similar experiences? Any ideas on fixing this or is a replacement required. I did not want to try an SOS pad or other cleaners without checking here...

I was fortunate to attend the Rally and had some excellent work done on my 2009 BH 3850, but did not realize a water problem that appeared after the Heartland Team had finished for the weekend. I did receive some help from other members and believe I have isolated the problem to a faulty hot...

A quick question....can anyone advise the size of the PEX plumbing lines in a Big Horn? I thought RV's usually used 3/8" ID -1/2" OD.... OR 1/2" ID - 5/8" OD. Also, do they use brass or stainless steel crimps? Thanks, Chuck

I have a 2009 Big Horn 3580 and ran into a problem while trying to fill the fresh water tank. As I filled the tank, the water came flowing back like there as some immediate blockage. I removed the panel and noticed that the fresh water fill hose was routed above the hot water lines. The fill...

Hello, I'm a new Heartland owner, (actually a partnership with the Credit Union) and I wanted to introduce myself. I just purchased a Big Horn 3580RL and am very excited about the Heartland product and this forum. We decided to jump right in with both feet by joining the Owners Group and...
