    Slide bottom repairs.

    I went to an R.V. dealer in Yuma this morning regarding a slide problem. While there I looked at a brand new Landmark. On the bottom of one of the slides I noticed two screws protruding from the bottom of the floor. Just a matter of time before the slide rips up the lino. I just wonder how much...

    Slide in Kitchen

    I have one of the edges of my floor under the slide rubbing when it comes in and out. There is a fix from Parkland Plastics that I used once before but it has come loose and caught up under the slide. I managed to remove it and will order another. The bottom edge of my slide also needs the...

    Big Horn Cable Slide

    I hate cable slides and wish they were never used. One of my cables has broken. The slide is stuck open halfway. I am in Yuma A.Z. and no one wants to touch it as yet. There is a dealer who maybe able to help next week. The cable that broke was the bottom one on the front of the bedroom...

    Went to use the microwave a few minutes ago and the turntable no longer turns and the unit does not heat. It makes noise and the light comes on inside the unit but that is it. I have unplugged it etc. and it still won't work. Any ideas? I will contact the company on Monday and try and get it...

    Black Water Flush

    Every time I flush my black water tank the hose connection leaks and water goes behind the docking station. I do not use a pressure regulator to flush the back water tank. Should I ? The hose connection is tight. It appears to be coming from below the connection to the at the docking...

    Fresh Water Fill (Poor Design)

    I have tried to fill my fresh water tank but hardly any water goes in before it back flushes out the filler tube. When I looked behind the docking station the filler hose tends to go uphill before going down into the basement where the tank is located. Is there a fix? I know some people get a...

    Fresh Water Fill (Poor Design)

    I just went to put more water in my fresh water tank. Problem is that I can hardly put any in before it comes back out of the top of the filler. The dealer during pdi shortened the fill tube but it still will take next to no water. I only have 1/3 of a tank and can't seem to get any more in...

    Cracked Skylight

    The other half was having a shower today and noticed water dripping from a screw in the skylight. I took the inside cover off and found a crack in one corner of the skylight which is letting water in. I live in a wet climate especially at this time of year. I can only assume that it has been...

    Floor Not Level in Bighorn 3580

    I posted this same question awhile ago and absolutely no response from anyone in the factory? I thought this site was monitored by the factory? I have a new 3580 Bighorn. The trailer is siting on a pad level. The kitchen floor is not level. It is level from the entrance door to the built...

    Bighorn 3580 floor

    I have a 2009 Bighorn which I bought new just 2 weeks ago. I have noticed that the kitchen floor is not level. It is level from the door to the built in island then gently slopes down towards the kitchen/entertainment slide. Is this normal? Can someone from the factory advise. The slides...

    Floor in Bighorn 3580 not level?

    I am not sure if this is normal or not? I have a new 2009 Bighorn 3580. From the entry door to the built in island is level. Then if begins to slope down towards the kitchen slide. This maybe on purpose in order to allow for the kitchen/ entertainment slide to come in easier but I don't...

    Cold Air Only

    Woke up this morning and the heater was only blowing cold air. I am assuming it is a circuit board. I have only had the trailer a week and it is brand new. What a drag. I am hoping the dealer will send someone out so that I do not have to drag it back. A week for a board if it is that is...

    New 3580 Bighorn PDI etc.

    I am now sitting in my new 3580 at the Pacific Border R. V. Park here in the S. Surrey White Rock area of British Columbia Canada. I spent last night at the local dealers transferring stuff from one trailer to the new one. It took hours. The PDI went well but there were a few problems as...

    Slide Corner Blocks

    I have read in some posts about corner blocks? They are used to prevent slide leaks during wet weather driving. How do you know if you have them? They are supposed to be in 2009 Bighorns according to the brochure. You would think though that if the slides were properly sealed against the...

    Tire Pressures, where to fill

    Just wondering where everyone tops up the air pressure in their tires. 110 lbs is a lot and of course necessary for those towing heavy trailers. With most service stations near me you would be lucky to obtain 80lbs out of the air pumps let alone 110. I guess truck stops would be the best bet...

    3580 2009 Bighorn, No Bedroom Slide Sseals? I am purchasing the above model from a local dealer. When I checked it I noticed that there was no rubber seal on the back of the bedroom slide. There were good seals on the other slide but not the bedroom? I checked two other Bighorns at the...

    Water line fittings

    I am picking up my new 3580 on Monday next. The dealer will be doing a pdi? If they do a proper one I hope to have no leak issues. I will confirm with them on Monday and make sure it is done. Just in case it is not as through as it should be do you tighten the fittings by hand? My current...

    New 3580 and the slide fix.

    O.K. you guys. I went to the dealer today to speak to them about my concerns. The trailer we are buying has been sitting on the lot for almost a year. There were no issues with the slide but I am getting them to put the plastic molding on the bottom of all the slides. I saw three trailer on...

    Poor Quality Control etc.

    I replied to the post on delamination but wanted to post this here as well and get others opinions. I am presently dealing on a new 2009 3580 Big Horn. We like the trailer a lot. I have given a deposit and was supposed to take delivery in 10 days. I got a good deal but still a lot of money...
