slides

Noticed when I was inspecting the top of the fifth wheel that the stitching next to the slide topper where it attachs to the rail is starting to pull apart. The stitching at the end of the awning is double and triple stitched and looks OK. But just inward of that, the stitching is breaking for...

I have been working on replacing slide seals and some wipers on our fifth wheel and have run into an issue. I ordered and have been installing AP Products 018-341 RV Trailer Camper Sealants Ek Seal Base with Wiper Black and the associated D seals. I assumed that Heartland would use the same...

Our 2011 BC has rain gutters the entire length of both sides at the roofline. (Thank you Heartland!) It also has a rain gutter over the dining/couch slide on the starboard side. But over the 3 port side slides (B/R, kitchen, entertainment) there is no gutter. Any know a good reason? :confused:

I have a 2017 Heartland Mallard M312 and the cables for the slide are rubbing against the frame wall. Is this normal? Does anyone else have this issue? I had it in the shop and they told me that they contacted Heartland and that Heartland told them that it was normal and no correction was...

I hope this is not a duplicate question. I searched this section of the forum and also looked through the troubleshooting manual and master manual for the leveling system in the HUG section and didn't find anything that exactly explains my situation. Was helping my father hook up to his fifth...

The PDI guy at my dealership told me when I picked up our rig that the bedroom slide is not hydraulic but electric. He said the other two slides are hydraulic. I was under the impression that all the slides were hydraulic. Can someone enlighten me on this? Bob

I recently purchased a 2015 North Trail that has cables to extend and retract the slides. The motor that moves the living room slide cables and pulleys went out within the first 2 months and now the motor that runs the kitchen slide cables has gone out as well. The warranty has covered the...

Hello everyone! After reading several posts I realized I'm not the only one with this issue. The edges of ALL the slides are rotting out. Will Heartland make it right since its been an issue, and if not, has anyone fixed this themselves and can let us know the best process, and also what to do...

Hello. I have a 2008 Cyclone 4012 triple slide. It is a PITA to control the slides. If I want to open all the slides, no problem, I press the button and out go the slides. However, if I am parked in front of my house and want to only open the curb side slide then I have to open up the...

Slide won't work RESOLVED We recently bought a new Pioneer trailer. The slide worked fine at the dealer and a few times after that. We are now not able to open the slide at all. We have tried it off of the battery it came with, a 12.9v battery and by hooking it up to power and we have no...

We've traveled full-time in our BIghorn for three+ years. I think the hydralic fluid needs to be boosted. Right now, the slides are out, and a pencil line put on the reservoir by the dealer shows the fluid is low. But.... if I put the slides in, maybe it is OK. Also, our handbook on the...

After reading this forum a couple of months ago, I looked at the bottom of my living room slide and it indeed had places where the black plastic material had rubbed down to the bare plywood, right along the slide edges. I talked to a few Big Horn owners and they installed the polyethylene...

We have our 3055RL in storage about 140 miles away. Will be bringing it home soon. We are reconfiguring our RV storage place next to the house to make sure the Bighorn will fit. We have looked in the various sites in the Owners Forum and the main Heartland page and cannot find the dimensions...

Can anyone tell me the width with slides out on a 3580 Bighorn, or similar Heartland product. Rick

As winter approaches and the temperatures being to fall. I was thinking that it would be nice to have the floors in the slides a bit warmer. Has anyone added foam insulation under the slideouts? I have thought about adding a skirt, but that is not an option right now as the RV skirting place is...

'08 3055 The (black covered) plywood under two of the slides appears to be delaminating along the edges. It looks as though water/moisture is wicking along the edges- about 2" in and the length of the slide. It is soft and beginning to swell along the edge where it is hanging down past the...

We have not picked up our unit yet but do have a question or two. 1) With the slides in can we sit at the kitchen table? 2) My wife is very concerned about the fancy sink in the bathroom, her question. If I drop something or hit it will the sink break? 3) We noticed that all cooking fumes vent...

What do you use to maintain the lubrication on your slides? We have used - sprays - silicone - and everything else on our slides. They are so noisy - steel on steel - ug - the sounds are horrible. :cool: Coming in our going out - the sounds are the same. Looking forward to some good...

Just came back from a 3 week roadtrip, BC ,Alberta, Idaho, & Wash. I had great weather & met great people . My thanks to a fellow Bighorn 3055 owner in Lethbridge for showing me how to choose what slide I want open if needed. I had noticed the 3 control knobs on the hydraulic system, but had...

The bottom fell out of the drawer, screw came lose. Need to get drawer off the slide. How do you remove the drawer from the slide? Also, why does the stove top have only one adjustable burner. The other two are not adjustable. Thanks

Whats the procedure to deal with the loss of hydraluic pressure on the slides. Wondering in particular if a manual method might get the slides in? And will it actually work..

I was wondering are the slide outs insulated?.

Does anyone have a method for cleaning the top of your slides after camping under trees? I know their are awnings for the slides, but we haven't got to that yet, and we're concerned about sticks, leaves, branches being up there when we retract the slides and causing damage. Any ideas or...

I just noticed a small amount of transmission fluid on the battery case beneath the slide reservoir, but I can't see an obvious leak. It might become readily apparent during operation of the slides. The reservoir is just less than half full. The owners manual said I could check the level by...

I have a 2009 3670rl. The kitchen slide will tilt in when you open the ref.(it will come in at the top about 2".) The rear slide has wire bundle hanging down about a FT. also with it extended you get a loud squeak but it seems to go away when you retract the slide. I picked up my new 3670rl in...

This weekend as we started our camping experience I noticed the Kitchen Slide on my 3670 did not operate in its normal order. It has always been the second slide to move, this time it did not operate until the other 3 slides were out. Whne I retracted the slides the kitchen was again lagging...

This is my first Big Horn. I noticed that when closing up, the lower portion of all 4 slides stick out by a couple of inches. Is this normal, or is there an adjustment I can make?

I just started having a problem when retracting the slides on my 2008 3055RL. The bedroom slide comes in OK but after the curb side slide comes in approx. 90% everything stops. I wait about 10 seconds and then everything is OK. No jerky movement...everything is smooth. I found a possible...

I am a new owner of a Big Country 3500RL. When it was dropped off in February, I could not get the slides to go out with the slide switch, even when it was plugged in. I hooked the battery up to a pick-up truck and the slides when out. I just assumed that the battery had died on the trip. I...

Just took delivery of a new 3670RL Bighorn Friday. During the PDI, the tech explained "During the retraction of the 4 slides, the relay will quit and the motor will stop. Give it about 30 seconds, then you should be able to finish bringing the slides in." Is this normal???

2 days ago I read a post from "GOLDWINGERS" about the top of their slides blowing in with high winds. I gave this some thought, (sometimes it hurts), but I may have solution. Truckers use what is called a LOAD-LOK to keep there loads from shifting. Since the slides are only held in place by the...

We looked at a 3055 once. We now are ready to buy but, there are non in our area. My question is, with the slides in, are you able to open the refrigerator?

Hi I have got a problem that I just can not find, If the slides are closed for a tiime they seem to open on there own. This has both my wife and I very worried. I have had them come open a little going down the road. Now that we have it in winter storage we go out every 2 weeks or so to make...

We have noticed that the bedroom slide on our 3055 was beginning to hit the corner of the bathroom cabinet was slide was in. Then one morning after a stormy rainy night, we noticed water on the floor between the shower and bed. We mopped it up, checked the seal on the inside we showed no...

I have a 2008 Sundance w/ BR slide out. I'm concerned about the bed hitting the dresser..not that it will damage the dresser but that the slide is not closing fulling and sealing completely. Am I worrying too much? Better to solve not than to have problem later.

I wanted to hear from other owners on recomendations regarding winter storage. Do you store your fifth wheel with the slides in or out?

One of our drawers is always jumping off the slides, it's not over loaded and I'm not sure how/why it keeps coming off. It almost seems like they are spaced a tad too wide and if I shimmed one in a little the assembly would be more secure. Not sure... Anyone else see this? Did you fix it?

I can't open the slides manually because there is not an hole or anywhere to insert the crank handle through the outside. I have looked at other manufacturers and they drilled a hole and put a grommet in the hole to insert the crank on the outside of the skirting. Is this something that should...
