This is a bit long, but not as long as the grief it caused. My wife came into the unit and found a "puddle" in the corner by the left bottom of the fridge, next to the carpet. Curious as she is, she thought that the heavy rain may have caused the water to be blown under the vent area. She...

We've experienced a similar issue on an '04 model with about 6000 miles. It had a wiring harness recall in 2005 that we did not receive. By the time we got it taken care of, we had damaged an injector and I thought the engine was going to fall out of the truck. Thankfully, it was all warranty...

We're not Sundance owners, but I'd bet the leak we had in the bedroom slide is similar. We spent 4 trips to the dealer to find the correct fix. Have the Tech check "under" the weatherstripping on the bottom of the slide. There should be a hard silicone piece in the corner, under the...

My wife had the bedroom windows "re-tinted" from a vehicle tinter with a limo tint on top of the factory job. She sleeps late and now, you have to turn on the lights at noon to see in the bedroom. The price was under $100.00

I agree with mrcomer. Heartland service is incredible. We'd also rate our dealer, Explore USA, as the top. Any issues we've had have been addressed with coutesy and promptness. We've been in more expensive and bigger units, but really love the 3055 for our use. We'll stay with Heartland as a...

We're considering installing a high end wood laminate floor in place of the vinyl flooring. I've seen it done and it really changes the look of the units. Also, someone had replaced, or re-faced, the cabinets with hickory wood. Does anyone recall that project? I may be thinking about a forum...

Our Bighorn 3055 is the 5th unit for us. We've had 2 more expensive units, and found the BH factory and dealers to be the most responsive to "issues". Like everyone has said, you will have some problems. However, that's why the warranty and the factory will see that you are satisfied. This is a...

Just amazing. I knew that someday I'd wish I had been more interested in shop class...instead of 16 year old girls!

I am very impressed and now have truck envy as well as mechanical envy. How are the ramps going to be operated? Surely, not just muscled-up, you're too creative for that old technology. You're going to have to start a TV show for all of us "wannabe's".

You "may" have a weld that has worked loose, somewhere in the front frame. We had the similar issue with a Doubletree and a weld had broken on one side and was getting ready to stress the opposite side. I'd absolutely contact the factory rep in your area. I'd bet money they would want to have...

A shorter model was exactly why we came out of a Doubletree 36TK3 to the 3055. That's a lot to wag around. Even with the proper tow vehicle( which we have) and the price of fuel coming down, a "36'" fiver is nearly 39-40 feet. Doubletree has changed their floor plans with a 34' model, this year...

Here's another topic that may, or may not, need to be periodically checked. We developed a "bump" on the outside skin, just in front of the steps, after we had travelled 7500 miles last spring. Being the inquisitive person, I opened the wall from the basement and found that the power converter...

See what you started.... Lots of loyal Heartland folks out here!

OK, enough baiting. I want mine. We're heading to our spot in Port Aransas next week, so I'll have to have it sent there and have folks ask me about it. Maybe a few "select" members could be Plak-R factory reps?:rolleyes:

Jim, if I order one direct from Plak-R for the $35.00 price, am I correct to believe that it would not be numbered? Or, are they waiting to fill the orders with numbered plaques? Thanks for getting this idea working.
