    APOLLO 1/2 Time Oven - HELP!

    I would really like to know how many people are having apollo issues. The microwave side on ours quit working and we went through the "we will send you the box ship it to us and we will repair it and send it back to you" deal. Took two weeks and now three weeks later it is doing the same thing...

    Black Tank issues

    I am having an issue whith the black tank and I cannot seem to find the cause. We never have an issue with any type of odors until we start to drain the tank. While the tank drains and during the flushing process it seems that the odors do not leave they come inside the bighorn. I have checked...

    5ver hitch

    Check out the B&W Turnover ball and companion Hitch. I was a little leary at first but after a little research and talking to some folks that have them I made my decision and am very glad I did. No rails in the bed, can be used as a fifth wheel or gooseneck, and best of all when the companion is...

    Holding Tank treatment

    We have been using it for about three years and IMHO it is exactly what they claim. We use the sewer solution to drain the tanks and rarely hook up the exta water to push the stuff through. That means that everything empties through a 1 inch hose without a pump. We use the TP in the rig that we...

    Kitchen cabinet shelf

    We have a 2010 Bighorn 3610 RE. We love it. We have found one thing we dont understand why it isnt there. We have a double door fridge and the cabinet between it and the exhaust fan is huge but it needs a second shelf. Without it so much space is wasted. I am going to add one but it would be...

    Installed Oxygenics shower head!!!!!

    They are a grat add on. Besides the pressure being much better, they also save you water. I know it doesnt matter if you have full hookups, but if you are dry camping or just water and electric, that is a big deal. We have had ours for a couple of years and when we bought the bighorn the first...

    Full timing

    We are just starting to full time and bought a bighorn. We are praying to get 10 years out of it. We will not be moving all the time, probably every four to 6 months. We know that we will have issues along the way but with regular upkeep I think it is possible. We bought a new truck as well and...

    Air Compressor Question

    I bought this onehttp://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00915309000P?vName=Tools&psid=FROOGLE01&sName=Air+Compressors&cName=AirCompressors&sid=IDx20070921x00003a for size purposes to carry in the Bighorn. It was very quick with 80 pounds and almost as quick with 115 pounds. I was leery at...

    pin box clearance

    We have run into the same issue and actuall messed up the gel coat a little what the plastic cover rubbed the side of the bed. I was nowhere near the 88 degree mark so I wasnt watching the pin or the front and did not hear anything until I started forward. Heard a noise and it was too late...

    Angry and Disappointed with Dealership

    We had an issue with our bighorn and are three hours from our dealer. The dealer called customer service and then had me do the same. They said take it to whoever you want but to have them call Heartland before doing any work. Dealers are notorious for the tactics you are talking about and I...

    shower problems

    I heard about someone that had exactly the same issue in their Bighorn, well the husband did anyway. Turns out the wife always pressed the water saver switch on the shower head and the husband didnt even know it had one. Not saying that is what your problem is but sometimes it the simple things...

    Couple of newbe questions

    THe only dors that we put little bungee cords on are the pantry in our 3610RE THat was due to the dealer reccommending it because of the slide. HE said that he had heard of the door coming open when traveling and while not being seen when opening the slide and messing up the either the door or...

    Water heater anode

    1 1/16 deep and an extention and away you go. That is one thing that was a change from the old rig. It did not have an anode rod and the plug was plastic. Did not need a socket. Now with the socket and ext I do not mind the drain.

    PDI by Dealer

    First I would never do business with a dealer that charged for the PDI. That should be done to protect both the buyer and the dealer. I would also report that dealer to Heartland. Our dealer not only did the PDI and went over everything with us but had us stay on their lot with hook ups...

    Campground Rants

    Some things never make sense to me. At a time when every type business seems to be hurting and needs to make money just to stay afloat they have forgotten what built businesses before the great years of prosperity. Good friendly service at a fair price. Campgrounds are charging more and more for...

    Bighorn delivery frustration

    I know this does not help any but for some reason dealers give you a delivery date based on everything going as perfect as it can be. Most of the time it all works out well especially with the economy as it is now. Yours is one of those that did not have everything go as planned. I agree with...

    NC Chapter of Heartland Owners Rally Info Coming Soon

    We are new to the club but reading along this thread got me to thinking. THat's dangerous. If; as someone said, the fall rally is combined and the group wants mountains/foothills, Why not Mayberry? I have seen this campground and it is a nice place. FHU, 50amp, cable, wifi and for the rally you...

    Columbia SC RV show

    I talked to Browns when we were shopping. The guy I talked to was nice but they were off on the price and he finally followed up on the deal over almost two months after the first contact which was a month after we bought our big horn from Rvs for Less. They are wonderful to deal with.

    Extended Warranty Cost

    Looking at the fine print I have been unable to find a warranty that is worth buying. None of them seem to cover the stuff that you actually have issues with. If you know of one that does let me know

    Best sewer hose?

    We use the sewer solution and have had the same one for five years with no issues. Easier to store, do not have to make sure hose goes down hill, easy to rinse out, and a lot less expensive than a macerator. It comes wit a 10 foot hose but an extra hose is available.

    Fantastic fan in Kitchen

    We just took delivery of a new 2010 Bighorn 3610re. We have encountered a situation that I need some help with. We like to have a maxair 800 vent over the fantastic fan in the kitchen. Our dealer is now informing us it cannot be done because the A/C unit is too close. Does anyone know of another...

    Trailer Hitch Question....

    We had the same question and here's the answer that made up my mind. THe Bighorn has an88 degree turning radius. Yes the pull rite works going forward but it is vey expensive. Others only slide when backing and that is usually not when you need them. We went with the b&W companion with the...

    RV Park in or around Raleigh NC

    Sadly not a lot of campgrounds in the area with lots of amenities. Jordan lake in apex area is nice. Crosswinds SRA is open and a nice place. The only bad part is the gate is locked early.

    Rear Hitch

    We are in the purchase process of a 2010 BH3610RE. I was told by the dealer that Heartland does not offer a rear Hitch. If that is the case, Why? I like to put the bike rack there. I know one can be mfged to put on. Thanks
