Looking to upgrade my top vents, so I bought two vents but seems that was enough and now confused on what each vent is. Here is the lay out and what I think the vents are for, any help would be appreciated. Here is a closeup Getting my saggy fixed.

My Lippert springs are looking kinda flat on my Bighorn. Has anyone gone from 6k springs to 6.5 k springs? Any issues?

I know people on the forum have done it, but any recommendations for an upgrade to disc brakes that will work with a Ford Controller. The Plan: Upgrade to discs and replace the springs with heavier springs as they are nearly flat. If it hasn't been done I'll do a step by step tutorial as I...

We've all seen those fifth wheels going down the road with the rubber roof ballooning up in the front. Have you ever wondered if that was you? I started to suspect I was one of those. So, I went off to get new michelin XPS sneakers for the camper and stuck a camera up on the roof. Results...

I searched and I probably missed it, but can you replace the dinky little 12 volt light switches with regular full sized household switches? Getting a little tired trying to find those little things and they keep popping out of the wall. Thanks in advance...

If you are a Bighorn owner and were traveling on Rt. 95 southbound, at 6pm in the area of Brunswick, GA.. You rubber roof was ballooned up right past the front cap.

I'm getting spamed from noreply [at] message [dot] my space [dot] com through this forum email address... Just a heads up..

Okay, for some reason I can only describe as being a masochist, we headed up to the North East for the past two weeks. Just like clock work the intelligence level dropped as we hit Washington DC. It started when some woman in a mini van, talking on a cell phone, cut us off. She then started...

Pulled in to a campground in Gettysburg PA... Noticed an extraordinary number of fifth wheels there. Then upon closer inspection, we found we landed in the middle of a NuWa rally... Not another Heartland owner in sight for back up.. Lucky for us it was the last day of the rally or they ran away...

In my driveway.. :):):):):):):):) Dang that's a big driveway...

Was wondering and maybe Jim can chime in here. I see the toy lok is a $105 option on the Edge and if there was enough interest could the Owners club get a group purchase on this from the factory? Just an idea...

Okay, I've waited until all the facts are in and everything is clear. In my past dealer problems with Boat N RV of Ridgeland ,S.C. it became very clear that the troubles I had getting serviced was solely a dealer problem, this cost me nearly two months of back and forth. Now lets fast forward...

Just dropped off my camper to get the rear electric jacks repaired. While I was there I asked if I could get a price for the lower right rear sheet metal. I dented it when I backed into my neighbors garbage can. I was directed by Heartland to contact the local dealer to get the part. I tried...

Anyone have bent shocks? At the end of the shock body my shocks are bent down on the threaded portin. IT almost looks like it's designed that way, until I saw cracked paint at the bottom end. 3 of my shocks look bent. The curb side more so then the drivers side.

Drove my neighbor today to a his follow up eye surgery in Fort Stewart, Ga. He's a Army Doctor. We stopped by the Museum there and asked the Sgt. on duty if he could confirm a rumor for us. Do you remember this? Well the rumor is/was that Sadam's head was there at Fort Stewart. When we...

Duplicate, kept getting a internal server error

I'm still frosted by the Lies told to me by Boat-N-RV Warehouse in Ridgeland S.C... Not only did they abscond with my 50amp cord. Not fix my leaking waste gates. (Which I fixed easily). And a host of other lies.... They told me they fixed my TV... At first, contrary to fix listed on this...

Blackbear Campground in Florida,NY Windchill -12

We come up with this great idea. Drive up to NY for the holidays and stay in the Bighorn... Really, how bad could it be? I have to say, I nearly committed murder today. We leave Georgia early Friday morning. Have a long drive of about 415 miles. Pull into this OUTSTANDING RV park in Roanoke...

Okay in the rush to get things finished up, packed and the fear of going from 77 degrees to minus 8 windchill.... I have forgotten which way my bi pass levers go... I moved them around and can't remember which it is... Handles vertical for normal or horizontal for normal... Or is it one...

Have a couple of quick mods to share in a couple of problem areas. As many Rvers know the shower skylight can transfer lots of heat in or lots of heat out. I've seen many mods where people use pink insulation, paneling and various other things I never thought looked all that good. This is...

My next Mod is the SeeLevel II by Garnet Industries at http://www.rvgauge.com/ I as many Rvers are pretty fed up with those lame in tank gauges. Plus the one that came with the RV only reads in thirds. I ordered them from http://www.bestconverter.com/ They were great to deal with. I had to...

It's been long road, but here is the follow up to In the Belly of the Beast Part 1. What started out as taking care of some rust, turned out to be much more involved. Then throw in a few Mods and it turns into a project. Things done: 1. Sand, treat and cover frame with POR 15. 2. Add supports...

There is a black vent in the storage area, what is it for? It's not for heat, it actually is counter productive to heat.... Maybe Jim can find out why it's there.

As you know I've took the belly off to take care of some rust. It's coming along nicely. NOTE: When POR 15 says nothing will take it off you skin if you get it on you, THEY MEAN IT.. I've ordered a bunch of parts for mods and such. I added 4 cross members to take away a bunch of the under...

Well I was unhappy with the supposed repair of my waste gates by the dealer, only to discover they never took the bottom off to actual make a check or adjust the waste gates, I decided that the belly has to come off. I wanted to do some maintenance to the frame anyway due to rust. I'm going...

Opened up the bottom of the Bighorn to clean up some rust and work on my sewer connections as the dealer did not fix them. Was wondering if this is normal under the gray water tank. The bottom of the tank is sagging and contains nearly no water. Should the straps be snugged up? When I...

This past weekend in Stone Mountain, Ga Low temp of 32 degrees. 2 other Bighorns spotted in the campground.

Had my Camper in for a few issues and was expecting them to be taken care of pretty simply. 1. Lamiplast material chipping off bottom of slides and damaging carpet. Dealer stated Heartland told them to sand and PAINT IT. Which is exactly what they did. The did not adjust the slides, which was...

I have a couple questions for the factory. 1. We've had our Bighorn a couple of months. Recently the toilet got stuck and was slowly filling. This of course caused a overflow while we were out to dinner, which dripped on top of the charge controller and toasted it. What is the model and brand...

I have a 3400RL and would like a copy of the electrical wiring, plumbing, audio schematics. Are they located online somewhere I can download them?

Trying to get a definitive answer and the Factories take on it. I don't plan on driving to the dealer to fix , but don't want to fix something that's not supposed to be fixed. Also if I need to add screws , what type. The front lower cap is not attached to the frame. There are holes in the...

Was putting in second battery and noticed the front lower cap is not attached to the frame. There are holes in the frame, but no screws. I was wondering if that's the way it's supposed to be or did they forget. Screw holes are on the other side of these arrows. These arrows point to actual...

Okay, the bed has a platform with a hinge and struts. You lift it up and the under bed storage or what is usually under bed storage is blocked off. What is the theory behind this?

Does anyone have a picture of how the 19" tv in the bedroom is mounted? Thanks.

Bighorn vs. garbage can, garbage can wins. Boy was a really ticked last night. Picked up the Horn for upcoming trip. Pulled into my neighborhood and usually drive down to the cul-de-sac and turn around and then back into driveway. We have covenants in our neighborhood. No parking on street...

Is it possible to order a small body panel from the factory? Or does it have to go through a dealer, all of which are not close to me?

Well we spent about a year and half looking at 5th wheels. Spoke to dozens of reps and even more 5th wheel owners. After finding one that, "just felt right" we ordered a Bighorn 3400RL. The following advise was given over and over again by rvers of all different makes. 1. Get a bigger truck...
