Expert Answers about Heartland RV Big Country Fifth Wheel


  • Troubleshooting Thomas Payne Momentum RV Dual Reclining Sofa that Won't Close
  • What I recommend doing is swapping the Control Box # 195-387596 from the working side to the side that isn't working to see if that makes a difference. If it does then you'll want to get a replacement using the part above. If it doesn't fix the problem then I'm afraid you'll have to get a new recliner system as the Thomas Payne Momentum series is no longer available and they don't have a great amount of replacement parts left available.

  • Do Edges of Solera Awning Fabric Rollers Have Tendency to Fray or Tear
  • The Solera awning fabric setups like the part # LCV000211492 might be a slightly different design than what you have now but this type of fabric is very reliable and we've had great experiences with our customers who have used them. There's been no reported issues with the fabric fraying or tearing.

  • How To Choose Correct Replacement Landing Gear Legs for Heartland Sundance 5th Wheel Trailer
  • In order to confirm the correct replacement landing gear leg for your trailer you'll need to take a few measurements, the first simply being the length of the outer tube. Then, you'll need to measure the distance between the weld stops either inside to inside or outside to outside. The weld stops are what keeps the brackets in position on the outer tube. I have attached a photo below for reference. The most common replacement has a 29-1/2" long outer tube with 15-1/2" weld stop spacing...

  • Can 2-1/4 Lift Kit be Installed on 5th Wheel Trailer With Lippert Correct Track System
  • I do have a solution for you, but the Tandem Axle Lift Kit # RR23QX is essentially the old Correct Track system, just without the yellow adjustment blocks so they can't be used together. I confirmed this with my contact at Lippert. The other option to look into is an over-under conversion kit. From what I could find you should have 3" diameter axles so you need the kit # K71-385-00. What this does is move your axle so it is located under your leaf springs instead of on top of them. This...

  • Roof Vent Cover that Fits Fan-Tastic Roof Vent

  • Could Cameras of Furrion Vision S Camera System be Active All the Time
  • The cameras of the Furrion Vision S Systems # FOS05TASF are normally powered by the running light circuit of the trailer wiring. In order to have them on when parked and/or towing you'd have to have them ran to a power source that's on all the time like to a RV battery or to the 12 volt accessory circuit of the trailer wiring. You could put a switch on the battery circuit like you mentioned so that it's only active when you want it to be. It would be a matter of wiring a switch in line...

  • Is It Possible to Turn Furrion Side Camera Observation System into Motion Sensor Camera
  • You'd have to source a 12 volt motion sensor trigger to wire to the power sources of the cameras in the Furrion side marker light kit part # FCE48TASL so that the cameras only have power when the motion sensor is triggered. While we don't carry motion sensor triggers they are pretty easily found online. You'd need one to basically act as a 12 volt relay. So the sensor would be wired to your RV battery directly through a switch like # D16740 and it would complete the power circuit to the...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch and Trailer Pin Box Height Adjustment
  • When a 5th wheel hitch's height is raised to increase clearance between the bottom of the trailer overhang and the tops of the truck's bed rails this can put the trailer into a nose-high orientation. Since trailers tow best when they are level it can be necessary to then also shift the pin box upward on its trailer mounts to restore the trailer to a level stance. Sometimes adjusting the pin box upward will allow for that extra clearance and still allow the trailer to be close to level...

  • What PSI Range Should TPMS for Trailer be Set at if Tire is Rated for 110 PSI
  • Hey Kevin, so here's a fun fact...when you are driving on the highway the pressure will increase one PSI every five minutes in the first 20 minutes of driving. So what that means is you'd see about 115 psi if the tires were inflated to 110. So I would probably set the max of your sensor setup to 120ish and the minimum to maybe like 90 or so? There isn't a set number but this would work well.

  • How do I do a Zero Reset on My 6-Point Lippert Hydraulic Leveling System?
  • Thanks so much for the pictures! I went ahead and reached out to my tech at Lippert, and she confirmed that you always want to have the slides in when zero leveling with a 6-point hydraulic leveling system. For the reset process, you will use the LCD OneTouch screen only. In the right hand corner of the screen, there will be a gear or a menu called "more options" or "advanced options." After that selection, that is where you will find the zero-leveling option. You will not have to go through...

  • How Does Jensen RV Stereo JWM62A Get Wired To Replace Old AWM970?
  • After looking up the wiring diagrams for your old RV Stereo AWM970 and your new Jensen RV Stereo # JWM60A (Jensen part number JWM62A) you new stereo should actually have 3 more wires, not less wires. The AWM970 had two connectors, a 12 pin and a 4 pin where the # JWM60A has 19 wires in its connector. To install the new harness you will need to match the functions for shown in the two included wiring diagrams, and importantly go one wire at a time so that nothing gets mixed up. I went...

  • How to Determine Replacement Lead Leg For Landing Gear For Adding 2nd Motor
  • So while this is possible, what you will need to do is add another lead leg - as there isn't a way to add a motor to a follow leg - and disconnect the cross shaft. In order to do that you'll want to get a leg with the same dimensions. I know you mentioned your granddaughter's trailer was some distance away, but those measurements would be needed to ensure the trailer is even. Here are some options for when you do get the measurements: - 33-1/2" With 21" Drop Leg: Replacement Lead Leg for...
