    Farewell

    Thanks for clarifying Jim. We'll definitely keep in touch with the chapter then. BTW, Tony is definitely more into Red Woods :) although we do have a Titanium again.

    Farewell

    I just wanted to post a note to all Ontario members. We no longer own a Heartland RV so, as I understand it, we can't be members of this "club". We won't miss traveling in our Big Country and honestly we probably won't miss HOG a great deal. We won't miss waiting for the next failure in...

    2011 Big country

    Our 3510rl was built in January 2011. We ordered a 3510 but they'd switched in early January. We met the BC product manager at the Tampa RV Supershow and the order was being filled at the time. (mid January)

    2011 Big country

    Can anyone tell me how many 2011 3511RL's where made and sold? We've never seen another one anywhere and would like to know. Thanks, Jon Vidler (jvidler@gmail.com)

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: ON, McGregor - 6/5/2015 to 6/7/2015

    We'll still be in the Maritimes. Another catch is that we use up virtually all of our 182 days in the U.S. during the winter. (Neither of us are fond of cold weather any more.;))

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: ON, McGregor - 6/5/2015 to 6/7/2015

    I'm afraid we won't be able to attend this year Bob. We're planning on being in the Maritime Provinces during the time of the rally in McGregor. Safe travels all.

    Never Lube wheel bearings

    I know I'm coming into this discussion a little late but... You're absolutely right. We just had our trailer changed back to grease from oil because of constant leaking. We replaced all the seals and several damaged bearings. That being said I won't use the zerks to grease it either. The shop...

    Corner Shower Faucet

    We bought a push button attachment last winter while in Florida while browsing a Camping World. Love it.

    ATF: Big Country - Mattress type

    We were lucky to be able to order our trailer rather than buy one of the lot. We ordered a queen size bed to give a little more room in the bedroom. The mattress in our trade in was less than a year old and we had paid over to CDN$600.00. We had them swapped when taking delivery. When we went...

    rear ladder bent and broke on 2013 2950RK

    I don't have a rear bumper but you gave me an idea... When we bought our trailer I had a trailer hitch made and installed. There is no reason I couldn't have 1 1/2 - 2" angle iron welded on with supports going up to the base of the ladder. I climbed that ladder once and went out and bought a...

    Propane Bottles

    I'm guessing the reason is simply price and the time it takes for installation. They gotta make a price point.

    Plumbing Changes

    We've been plagued with plumbing leaks since last fall. We had things patched up, with varying degrees of success, at a Camping World in Florida during the winter and new ones have been popping up since then. We're back in Canada now and with all the rain we've had here I've had lots of time on...

    Receiver hitch for Big Country 3950FB and full-timers mail service

    Our dealer had one made and installed when we bought our trailer. Most dealers should be able to help you put or know someone that can do it for you.

    Propane Bottles

    A neighbour at a campground we've spent the last 5 years in has an Open Range. He's in getting on in years and cannot manage 30lb tanks. To him the 20lb tanks are important. I'm sure he's not the only Open Range owner to feel that way. If it can help someone stay on the road and active then, to...
