    ATF: Bighorn - Living Room TV

    just saw on Facebook a video from Hilton Riggins about the new stuff on all Big Horns. I sure hope our new rig will have the swinging television and the new upgraded entertainment stuff above the television. Different zones for playing music. Thanks

    Considering Upgrading To BH 3575 from BH 3185

    Thank you all for so much great information....Wow, had no idea this would be so hard.....I really can't afford a new truck right now. We are in payoff mode for our current truck and house. We retire in August of 2018. We will probably just keep our BH 3185 and tests the waters. Thanks again...

    Pillow Package Colors in Bedroom

    Hello everyone, What are the different pillow packages names. I have seen a red design and a brown design. There may be more, just not sure. I know they have to distinguish them somehow. Thanks, Steve Sullivan Pictures would be awesome if possible.

    Hello everyone, I am currently pulling a BH 3185 which is 35 feet long. We are wanting to upgrade in the very near future. We are looking at the BH 3575 which is 39 feet 4 inches long.

    MORryde Steps

    If we order a Heartland Big Horn from the factory can the factory put on the MORryde steps in place of the regular steps found on most RVs? We are pulling the trigger on ordering our second Big Horn from Heartland. The floorplan will be the 2018 Big Horn 3575 Elite. Thanks in advance...

    Wondering where our Big Horn is????

    Waiting is always the hardest part. We ordered our BH 3185 in February and received it in April. Wow, was that a long 6 to 7 weeks. But, was it worth it. We love our BH. Be patient and when your unit receives a VIN number your dealer should be able to track the progress or the factory can...

    Refrigerator Question

    Above is a picture of what we did to fix the refrigerator. All hot air now goes over the fins/coils before exiting the vent on the outside of the slide. Refrigerator temp remains between 35 and 38 all the time. It is great. Hope this helps!

    EZ pin-box mount for the Club Plaque

    I place my plaque on the pin box when we are camping also. I use a piece of trailer lights wire (green, yellow, brown) to hold the plaque onto the pin box. It works great and very cheap. I use the brown color so you cannot even see the wire holding the plaque. I have the trail air hitch so I...

    3185 Weight/Balance question

    We have the BH 3185 RL and we have had no issues whatsoever with weight and balance. We have the single door fridge with the ice maker and we keep it full all the time. We leave the rv set up at home all the time and always plugged in with all the slides out. We just love it.

    3185 closed slides block access to rear lounge

    We have the BH 3185 RL and we just love it. With all slides closed you can still get to the refrigerator (it does open and close with slides in) and to the restroom. Yes, the bedroom and living area is closed off but we knew that from the beginning. I hope this helps you in your planning.
