    Water Heater Problems...again

    John, If you put a voltmeter across the two terminals on the solenoid, I would think you have to see 12 volts when the switch is flipped on. That should lead you where to go next. I'd unplug the 120 VAC on the RV just to be safe also. If you see voltage then its the solenoid, if not the...

    Wanting to replace recliners in Bighorn...

    We also have been talking about Theater Couch/Chairs but my concern is how do you get them into the rv? Do you remove the back window or disassemble the center section from the two chairs?

    ATF: Bighorn - Disappointed Heartland will not cover delamination past the 1 year warantee

    I contacted my dealer about the delamination and they said it could not be covered on the extended warantee I purchased from them. Also they just sent the pictures to Heartland and the response is "no". It isn't covered past one year.

    Making up the bed

    On saturday we did a modified version of what John did. Above the split under the matress we stapled left over vinyl from our kitchen floor re-do. My only concern is will the matress be too mobile when used for sleeping. We addressed the "making the bed" issue it seems. It was enough slip to...

    Washing the Bighorn at the Blue Beacon may be a problem?

    Trace, I wqas also thinking about the decals, do you think they "go lightly" on them? I'm thinking they could probably peel a decal with their high pressure wand?

    Washing the Bighorn at the Blue Beacon may be a problem?

    I done it twice and they do a nice job. I'm a little concerned with the decals and how well they stay stuck to the RV. I asked Blue Beacon and others but no one is willing to comment. They claim to be capable of washing RV's. But not comment on the decals. I assume that means its a...

    Exterior Antenna

    Use the TV antenna instead of those other's, you'll be able to listen to something. I have a 2011 stubby black that doesn't really receive anything!

    Now I'm an Owner

    We did our PDI in the afternoon and we were offered overnight at the dealer. We went home instead and found a snag in the bedroom screen (minor). Other than a few minor issues over the years waranty, still the quality is way up compared to all our previous experiences. The technicians at the...

    Have you checked the little on/off switch on the hot water tank? Don't remember if this is the whole tank or just the electric. Its easily overlooked!

    ATF: Bighorn - Telephone Connection

    Ours is in the UDC and its routed below the desk. Our 2011 3670RL was built in April 2010. Might be useful for a fax machine, but those are fading too!

    Having trouble with Southco Keyless Entry system

    Well my problem last year has been fixed by Southco. They sent me a new transmitter and it was installed at the dealer in October. I installed the battery last week and it works just fine.

    Keyless Entry Lock Problems

    Steve, that was my choice too. I thought it may be easy but then the door looked like too much chance for misalignment. Glad I let the dearler do it.

    Anyone use a CPAP machine while camping ???

    I think you would be fine with an inverter off of the camper battery or a separate battery. I purchased a second battery from Costco to run in parallel on my Bighorn. It can use it just for the inverter if I think the camper battery will get used up on cool nights with the heater running. I...

    Keyless Entry Lock Problems

    Mike Faye sent our replacement a while back and I took the camper to the dealer to install. I has been cold, wet and rainy and it still is working. Looks like Southco is figuring out what was wrong.

    Fireplace Y or N

    Absolutely YES. Thought it was kind of corny but the saleman talked us into it. It is nice in the evening to relax and view while watching tv even though we know its a fake BUT don't forget you can heat on the governments dime at Federal campgounds. And 1500 watts is a lot of heat.

    FEEDBACK NEEDED on Potential Bighorn Floorplan

    We looked this morning and its a nice fresh idea. BUT...we agreed that we picked the 3670 over the 3600 because of the bathroom. The split bath was the specfic reason. It would be hard to move away from the 3670 at this point. The shelf by my side of the bed is necessary for my CPAP. Oh...

    Lippert Sewer Management System

    I stopped capping the drain inside and make sure i completely flush the drain. Water sloshes out down the road and then the drain gets an air dry naturally. The cap vacuum was one issue and the wet drain i didn't like either. I doesn't smell I'm going with it! It is convienent now too.

    Anyone use a CPAP machine while camping ???

    Dan, I run a Bi-PAP on a 250 watt inverter and a Costco Deep Discharge battery runs all night no problem. I turned off the humidifier but I did run the whole deal one night and the battery had plenty of reserve.

    Automatic Light Over Entrance Door

    One question... do the lights in the keypad go on when you push the keyless buttons. Mine went dark in the keypad when the keyless quit working. If they light up in the keypad when pressed the sound like the problem is in the door...IMO.

    How much electrical can I run with the 30 amp male to 50 amp female adapter provided.

    Thanks all. I'm in Tionesta, PA campground w/ 50 amp for now. I will find out when I get back to Michigan. I'm sure getting the compliments on my Bighorn. There are two other Bighorns here.

    How much electrical can I run with the 30 amp male to 50 amp female adapter provided.

    I'm a noobie to 5th wheel / 50 amp and now that I need the A/C when camping I'm a little confused. What do I have to give up at the campground when connecting to 30 amp shore power. Here in Michigan, the state campgrounds don't always have 50 amp sites.

    Keyless Entry Lock Problems

    Greg, it locks only the deadbolt. I sent my broken transmitter back to SouthCo today. The battery wasn't shorted. It measured around 1.5 volts like it should. The module was sealed with the same blue compound on the new one that works. The inside was dry also. I'm not so sure water...

    Keyless Entry Lock Problems

    I called Mike Faye @ Southco. He Next Day UPS'd the repair parts and instructions. Tomorrow I'll look at the door and decide if I should go ahead because of simplicity or ask dealer to install parts. The Receiver is located in the door and the screen door needs to be removed to allow power to...

    CPAP Requirements

    Re: I have a RESMED M series I'm on the road or I would scan and post the bottom of the unit. It is 24 VDC on the bottom. I have 2 Honda 2000's for dry camping and shore power otherwise. The state parks have no generator hours so I have to run on battery(s). The inverter I have is 250watt...
