Plans have changed, and we need to sell our beautiful Bighorn. Our original MSRP was about $93,000 (I can find this if you would like to see it). We added over $30,000 in options including: 4 point hydraulic auto leveling system with electric rear stabilizers Onan Cummings 5500 Watt Propane...

I am very interested in getting more information on this unit. It looks like it might fit our family situation better than our current Bighorn. Now, if it was part of the Bighorn line, I would be even more interested.

Hey guys and gals. We love our Bighorn 3585, but with a 14 year old son with a disability that will be traveling with us on the majority of our trips, the layout doesn't quite suit our needs. What we are looking for (maybe the end of this year, or the beginning of next year) is a 2 bedroom...

We would like more information and pictures of the Gateway 3650 BH. When will this line be available? Larry

Last month, shortly after returning from a short trip, I pulled my trailer to a lot around the corner where we store it. When I encountered a very slight uphill, I noticed I had to push down on the accelerator much more than usual. About a week later, I hooked up, hoping the "glitch" had...

One of my circular light fixtures in the living room of my Bighorn has come loose from the ceiling (see picture). We have tried Crazy Glue, a bunch of different types of tape, a little silicone, etc. to try to hold it back in place, but nothing is working. Any suggestions?

After taking off the panel behind the UDC to access and reposition the fresh water inlet line so that it will actually accept water from a hose now, I noticed a big hole in one of the ducts. The first picture shows the actual hole. The second picture shows where the duct originates. It is the...

We are currently hooked up in a campground. A few days ago, I was at a different campground. When I hooked up and turned on the water, there was a great deal of air in the lines. When I did get water, the pressure was poor. I was able to clean the screen in the bath faucet to restore pressure. I...

When I try fill the fresh water tank, it rejects the water. I have tried some different things. Most recently, I paid about $25 for a valve that screws onto the opening, and has about a 7" clear plastic tube attached. That didn't work, so I purchased more tubing and tried to go further into the...

I have had this checked by my dealer (when my warranty was still valid), and they claimed they couldn't get the issue to repeat itself, but when I am out with my trailer and want cold water in the bathroom sink, I get lukewarm water. The temperature outside doesn't seem to have an impact. Any...

I am leaving for a trip in a couple of weeks, but I have a couple issues that I need to resolve, and I am past my one year warranty. Both my slideout and 4 point autolevel system will run part way, then stop and turn off during the cycle. I have to turn it back on and start it (autolevel), or...

Most of the trips we do are local (100 miles or less each way). There is an occasional longer trip (250-300 miles each way). This Summer we will take a little longer trip (700-800 miles each way). Next Summer, we are tentatively planning a much bigger trip (2500+ miles each way). I am looking...

I bought my fiver just over a year ago. I upgraded to the Goodyear G614's when I placed the order. I was just walking by my trailer and I spotted a nail sticking out of the tire. I'm wondering if there is any kind of road hazard warranty on these tires, or if I am on my own? The nail is in...

Happy Birthday Bob! It was a pleasure getting to know you this year. I look forward to more trips together down the road (pun intended). Larry

For those of you that have purchased a Landmark or Bighorn in the last couple of years that opted for the microwave/convection oven combo. What came with the unit other then the round glass microwave dish? That's all I received with mine, and there appears to be some confusion as to what I...

We have the factory installed autoleveling system on our Bighorn. It's wonderful . . . when it works properly, but if it is supposed to make the leveling task easier, how come a couple uses after I zero it out, it is not level when we set it up the next time? If anyone has advice or tips on...

First off, let me set one thing straight, I am mechanically challenged, but that doesn't stop me from having good ideas, it's just the implementation part that requires assistance. I don't know if this is possible, but I also don't know why it wouldn't be possible. Is it possible to get an in...

If money were no object (that would be nice) , what would your satellite tv system for your RV look like? Please give me your top 1-3 choices. Thank you. Larry

On our last trip, we had some difficulty getting the stabilizers to come up. We eventually figured it out, but prior to that we grabbed the crank so that we could manually raise the jacks. The problem is, there was no post for the crank to fit over, therefore we could not manually raise the...

We picked up our Bighorn from our dealer on 12/31/10. Although we have had it in for a fair amount of warranty work, we have still been enjoying the use of our first luxury trailer. My question at this time is in regards to the cabinetry. We have the Pecan wood cabinetry. We have noticed...

Last time I went out, I set up my folks tvs, and they got a bunch of over the air channels. I was camped right behind them, and barely got any channels. I tested it at home and picked up a bunch of channels. Now, I am at a park with a cable hookup. I ran a scan earlier and picked up a bunch...

Ok, it's time for the dumb question of the day. I don't believe the water runs through the fresh water tank when you have water hookups. Can someone confirm or deny this please?

I have the factory installed, 4 hydraulic jack, with electric rear stabilizers auto leveling system. As of about a week ago, the stabilizers decided to stay in the up position. They do not come down after the auto level does it's thing, nor can I use the manual overide on the panel to lower...

My wife and I were watching "How it's Made" today, and they showed Propane cylinders being made out of fiberglass. I found a website that has more info. These tanks weigh 30% less than the standard metal tanks, and they are transparent, so you never have to guess how much propane is left. They...

I am curious if any of you have ever been sent to the scales by a law enforcement officer. If so, was there a different primary reason that you were pulled over? What was the outcome?

I am going to replace my stock tires on my 2011 F350 SRW. Which would you go with and why? 285/70 R17 AT both rated at 3750 load rate. I realize a lot of you don't care for foreign tires. I understand that on the trailers, where there have been numerous problems, but on my truck, I am...

I have a 2011 F350 with less than 2000 miles on it. It came with LT 245 17's on it. They are rated at 3195# ea. I would like to get a little biger tires with a higher rating. I might also be interested in adding some kind of airbag or airride system to help distribute the load on the truck...

We just picked up our Bighorn on Friday. The brochure dry weight is about 12,400, but I guess all of our options took it up to almost 13,300. I have a 2011 F350 SRW 6.7. The max towing capacity is 16,000. Not that I can do anything about it at this point in time, but is this going to be a problem?

I wanted to find out what average length of sewer hose everybody uses to hookup at campgrounds. Please click on your choice and submit your vote.

Jim, somebody, anybody, Our 3585 is supposed to complete today and hit the road to California soon. We have been waiting since mid-October (our choice due to waiting for Pecan). I know it will be here soon, but does anybody have any pictures and/or details of the updates on the new Bighorns...

I guess I haven't been doing my homework. What can you guys tell me about this special license designation that applies to all fifth wheels with a GVWR of 15,000 or greater? Has anybody been through this process? Do other states have similar designations?

Waiting is the hardest part! Signature test We should be getting our fiver in 2-3 weeks. We ordered from the Pomona show in October. I am using this post to test my new signature.

Does anyone have pictures of the optional 4 point leveling system that Heartland offers? Is it 4 including the front hydraulic jacks, or in addition to? The reason I ask is because I ordered this option on my unit that is being built, yet when I see Lipperts magazine ad and website, they talk...

We have a Bighorn 3585 on order. I was wondering if it's possible to install a larger tv in the bedroom? My parents just bought a fifth wheel, that mind you is not quite as nice as our Bighorn, but it came standard with a 32" tv in the bedroom. I think with the low prices on tvs these...

I have a Bighorn unit on order. I am looking through a current Camping World ad, and am surprised to see suggested annual maintenance offerings that add up to over $1500. What do most of you do as annual maintenance, and where do you generally have it done?

I asked my dealer what kind of tires would come on my new Bighorn. He told me Sailun (another Chinese tire). Does anybody have experience, good or bad with these tires? I need to decide if i want to upgrade the tires.

We have a 3585RL on order. We were wondering if these units have an external connection (like a quick disconnect) for propane anywhere on the exterior of the unit, that could be used to hook up a coleman stove or other device.

I have read several posts on this forum of people that are talking about getting a new Heartland unit. When I look at the bottom of the post, it says that their current unit is only 1,2 or 3 years old. i wonder why you would get rid of such a recent purchase, and how in the heck can it make...

Well, it might be a little too early to get excited, but my wife and I ordered a Bighorn 3585RL at the Pomona RV show. The factory won't start making it until the end of November, because we wanted to go with the new Pecan wood vs the Cherry. So, even though we won't have it until late...
