Expert Answers about Heartland RV Bighorn Fifth Wheel


  • Could Cap of Dexter Hub # 8-219-13UC3 be Replaced with EZ Lube Cap
  • Yes, you could replace the dust cover/cap of the # 8-219-13UC3 with an EZ lube style cap and you'd basically have an EZ lube hub as that's the only difference. For that you'd only need the # rg04-120 for a pair and you'd be set.

  • Replacing the Blackwater Waste Valve and Cable on a 2018 Heartland RV Bighorn Fifth Wheel
  • If you're looking to replace your blackwater waste valve and cable, then I recommend going with an actuated cable valve. For these, LaSalle Bristol offers two options while Valterra offers none. Which of the two Bristols you choose will depend on your current setup. The first, part # 34466N4BB72GM, has a 72" cable and a spigot to spigot connection. The second, part # 34466N4AB36GM, has a 36" cable and a spigot to hub connection. You will need to review your setup to find which connection...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • What's Difference Between Trailer Hubs # 8-219-9UC3 and # 8-219-9UC3A
  • The two hubs are very similar but the big difference is the size of the seal that comes with the hubs. The # 8-219-9UC3-A comes with a seal that has an inner diameter of 2.25 inches and the # 8-219-9UC3 comes with a seal that has an inner diameter of 2-1/8 inches. You'd need to measure your current spindle where the seal rides to determine which you'd need.

  • 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.

  • Recommended Replacement Monitor For Furrion Vision S Back Up Camera On Heartland RV Bighorn

  • Recommended Replacement Porch Light for a 2014 Heartland RV Bighorn Fifth Wheel
  • It's really going to boil down to what size you're looking for and what color you'd like the light to be, but you can't go wrong with a simple rectangle light like the LED Porch and Utility Light for RVs # DG52724VP. This light is super easy to hook up, has a decently bright 175 Lumen output, and also includes the mounting hardware.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Do Trailer Suspension Shock Kits Work Well if Shock is At Angle
  • As long as the dampening and compression is set properly with the shock it wouldn't matter much if the shock is straight up and down or if was angled. The angle allows for more clearance when compressed since it somewhat moves out of it's way more to allow more travel. So the dampening and compression would just need to compensate for a slower movement that is shorter and it would still perform. That is why our kits like the part # LC281281 still work great although the shock is at an angle.

  • RV Hitch Recommendation that Does Not Require Stabilizer Strap
  • Yes, the Ultra-Fab 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver for Trailer Frames # UF35-946403 is a multi-fit hitch that will work great on your RV that has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity and does not require a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitches do. As long as your frame is between 47-1/8" to 77" the hitch will fit and work well. I attached a review video for more info as well.

  • What Would Cause Slide Out Gears to Only Make Contact with Half of the Gear
  • What it sounds like is happening, is the outer tubes, are bent, or are bowing enough to where there is enough play for the inner tube to move, and skip gears. That would cause gears to strip, and pull teeth. If you can, please send me pictures of the outer tubes on each side so I can take a look, and let you know more definitively.

  • Recommended Drum to Disc Brake Conversion Kit for 2017 Heartland RV Bighorn Fifth Wheel
  • In order to convert a 2017 Heartland RV Bighorn Fifth Wheel from electric drum to hydraulic disc brakes I recommend using the Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit part # HSE7K-T1. This is a mostly complete kit that has everything you need from the disc brakes to the brake lines and actuator. The only things it does not come with are some of the smaller items like the oil cap and oil, I recommend the Oil Cap and Plug part # HYD27FR and Kodiak Synthetic Bearing Oil part # XLPROLUBE. Please note, you'll...
