Expert Answers about Heartland RV Bighorn Fifth Wheel


  • Recommended Vent Cover For A Fan-Tastic RV Roof Vent
  • For your Fan-Tastic Vent I recommend the Fan-Tastic Vent Ultra Breeze Trailer Roof Vent Cover - White # FVU1500WH or # DMC38FR for Black. These covers will allow you to use your vent during inclement weather and also while driving down the highway. The mounting hardware will reuse the screws that hold down your vent to attach the cover.

  • Is There An Extender or Repeater for Chevy Factory Trailer TPMS
  • I do have an option for you but we don't carry any extenders/repeaters compatible with with the Chevy factory trailer TPMS. The best option we have would be a standalone system, the iN-Command TPMS part # NCTP100 which uses a mobile device for a display so you don't have any bulky monitors mounted on the dash.

  • How to Determine When Shocks on a 5th Wheel Trailer Should Be Replaced
  • Shocks should typically be replaced between 50,000 and 100,000 miles or when you start to experience more bounce when you go over uneven surfaces like railroad tracks. For your 8,000 lb. axles, we only have one shock option available and it is a kit. - Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers # RM-2470

  • Replacement Wheel Center Caps For 2014 Heartland Silverado Big Horn 34SE
  • I do not have the resources to look up the exact wheels that you have on your 2014 Heartland Silverado Big Horn 34SE, however, I did some research and it looks like you may have 8 lug wheels on 6-1/2" lug pattern. According to my research, your wheels should have a hole in the center of the wheel that measures 4.9" in diameter which would allow fitment of Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap - Stainless Steel - 4.88" to 4.90" Pilot # AM90156C. To verify if # AM90156C will fit your wheels,...

  • Best Way to Reduce Chucking Towing 2015 Heartland Big Country 3950 FB Fifth Wheel Trailer
  • The best cushioned pin box we offer to replace your Lippert 1621HD rated for 18k is the Trailair Flex Air part # LC328492 that you referenced. This is cushioned vertically and horizontally so the chucking you are experiencing will be greatly reduced. The other thing to think about is a new fifth wheel hitch with a tighter jaw setup. In nearly all cases of chucking it's actually the hitch that's causing the problem and going with a better hitch will give you the best results. For that...

  • Correct Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box for a Heartland Bighorn 3010RE
  • The Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box part # LC328492 is compatible with a Heartland Bighorn 3010RE and will work with a PullRite SuperGlide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch. However, you will need to obtain a Quick Connect Capture Plate from PullRite. This capture plate is to ensure the Flex Air does not pivot inside the jaws on the SuperGlide.

  • The Greystone 26" Electric Fireplace with Logs - Recessed Mount - Black # 324-000065 is the F2609E that replaced the 277-000118 you referenced.

  • Dometic Thermostat Changing Temperatures At Random
  • Unfortunately we do not offer any other Dometic brand thermostat, other than the # DMC79FR which does use touch buttons. This is actually a known issue with these Dometic thermostats. Removing the face plate usually will allow it to function normally. I have heard of several cases where folks have contacted Dometic and they have replaced components under warranty.

  • What Gauge Wire Does The 50 Amp Hardwire Cord A10-5025END Use?
  • I double checked with the manufacturer and you were correct in your assumption. On the 50 amp hardwire cord # A10-5025END, the one ground wire is 10 gauge, the other 3 wires are 6 gauge. I will have our website updated to reflect this. Sorry for any confusion.

  • Cargo Carrier With Ramp For A 2018 Heartland RV Bighorn Fifth Wheel
  • Currently the only cargo carriers we carry that come with a ramp are hitch mounted and largest size is the 30x50 Flint Hill Goods Cargo Carrier w/ 48" Ramp # FHG77ZR. If your 2018 Heartland RV Bighorn Fifth Wheel doesn't have a trailer hitch receiver then you could install the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 18" to 51" Wide # C13702 if the distance between the frame beams is within the 18" to 51" capacity of this hitch. If you have a larger frame width then you could use...

  • Which Replacement Shocks For 2018 Heartland RV Bighorn 3270RS 5th Wheel Trailer
  • The Lippert Standard Replacement Shock - Black # LC283271 is only rated for 3500lb axles with 2-3/8" diameter axles so I am a little surprised that they were used on your 2018 Heartland RV Bighorn 3270RS 5th wheel as it has a GVWR of 15500lbs. The Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock - Yellow # LC283280 will be just over an inch longer when compressed, and 1-1/2" longer extended but is rated for 3500-7000lbs which would be much better suited for your trailer. I included a video of the...

  • Solar Panel Kit for 2015 Heartland Bighorn 3875 FB that Might Draw Up to 18 KWH
  • To power everything you have you'd need something with a lot of wattage like our 6 panel Go Power AE 6 kit part # 342-75011 which is capable of putting out up to 1,140 watts per hour. This has capability of powering up to 50 amps too like what your fridge has. Hopefully you have high amperage Lithium batteries already as well like with the part # GP99QR which is rated for 100 amp hours.

  • Determining The Correct Lippert Solid Steps For A 2018 Heartland RV Bighorn 5th Wheel
  • In order to determine if the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps # LC733931 you mentioned will work for your 2018 Bighorn 3160EL, you will need to make two measurements. First take the measurement of the doorway flange, then take a measurement of the distance from the mounting point to the ground to determine the amount of steps you'll need. The first measurement is known as the "Doorway Width"; and the second measurement is called the "Entry Height". Using the chart attached, and the two...

  • Options For A Black Tank Leaking Near The Discharge And Dump Valve
  • Using PVC (white pipe) between ABS fittings (black) is not usually an optimal setup on a trailer because of the movement during transport and colder temperatures can cause PVC to break more easily. The Oatey Purple is a PVC primer and not a glue so it wouldn't adhere correctly. Using a green transition glue as well as the purple primer on the PVC pipe could have worked however. Ideally they should have used black ABS pipe between the fittings and used ABS cement like LaSalle Bristol...

  • Are the Ventline V2094 and V3094 Interchangeable
  • If by interchangeable you mean you can swap them out with each other then yes they are, but they do not take the same parts. Both of these (# V3094-601-00C & # V2094SP-28) roof vents are going to require the same mounting space (14-1/4" wide x 14-1/4" long), have similar 100 CFM 12V fans, and both units have manual lift dome designs.

  • FlexAir Pin Box Replacement for Lippert 1621HD King Pin
  • I have a solution for you but the # LC328492 is not a replacement for the Lippert 1621HD pin box. You will instead want to use the Curt AirRide # LC158778, which is the correct replacement for the 1621HD pin box. The Trail Air AirRide pin box replacement is the perfect solution to improve the ride when towing your 2019 Heartland Montana 32CK.
