I purchased a new 2008 heartland bighorn fifth wheel 9/2/08. After 3 weeks, 4 electrical problem arose simultaneously in one weeks time. Dealer and manufacturer will only continue to repair and not replace. This trailer is our home and very unsafe. After waking to a smoke filled trailer, the fire dept was dispatched.
