I have a 2011 Bighorn that is less than a year old. This weekend, traveling from VA to MD, I began to notice both trailer tires on the door side losing air pressure (thank goodness for TPMS). After about 40 miles, 1 tire was down 15 psi & the other was down 22 psi. Concerned that I had picked up road debris, I pulled over, examined the tires, found nothing, checked the pressure with a tire pressure guage, put some air in the tires, and completed my trip. Tires lost about the same pressure (15 & 22) by the time I arrived at camp. Removed tires, took them to a repair shop expecting at least $40 per tire in repairs (or worse, need 2 new tires). Turns out, testing showed both valve stems leaking. The o-rings that seal to the wheel had dry rotted and were leaking. $20.00 later and 2 new valve stems, I returned to camp, replaced the tires, and enjoyed the rest of the weekend.
Anyone else seen this kind of problem? Not sure whether or not to notify Heartland.
