I have some pictures from when they repaired ours in 2011, claims rep said it was our trailer but was never sure as there were several others in for same repair. Anyhow pictures show 2 large triangular pieces welded in the corners of the overhang and 4 more around the corners of the pinbox...

Same thoughts as Bob except we bought ours used and became "Part Timers" again last year when we bought a house. We have put a lot of miles on our rig and sure have had some problems but I read from others with bought new trailers who have had same issues so...... With all the varieties of...

We had a hail event 2 years ago which resulted in new roofs for both house and trailer. The only piece of plastic left intact on the trailer was the AC cover and 1 large tear on edge of the rubber, probably from a glancing blow. Both the adjuster and I crawled over the roof feeling for damage...

Same experience as Bill except we almost never use the light so it is just mostly a large decoration on the ceiling

We have met quite a few Europeans while living/traveling in Mexico and it has always been an interesting discussion on how they settled on the particular RV they were traveling in. Some things to think about that might help in your selection. Are you planning on seeing Canada and Mexico? Or...

We have used the Escapees mail service since 2001 and am retired Navy using Express Scripts for meds. It is easy to plan ahead for mail delivery and have never had a problem although it does get a little tricky once you get outside of the U.S.

Had similar experience 2 years ago here in east Tx. Resulted in a new roof due to tears. Suggest you look carefully at the roof, helped me to have an insurance adjuster look as he found a couple things I had missed.

We were there in 2011 to get the frame repaired, good experience, great guys to work with and they do good work. Bottom line though is you need to work through Heartland customer service. Suggest you give them a call, have your VIN handy and pictures you can e mail to show the problem.

Re: Sam's Club Gift Card for Active and Former Military Members thanks for the info

In 2011 we suffered the "Broken Frame" problem that a lot of others have had to deal with and I wound up having to move the trailer from Utah to the factory. Think I spent most of that trip staring into the rear view expecting to see pieces of trailer scattered over the road. Anyhow got a...

We have an early 07 with the 5.9 that I bought used with approx 25K mileage. With the exception of going over hwy 70 into Denver where I was looking for a stray Elk to hitch to the front end it has worked well. The weak link has been the transmission and would have it checked out before...

This is a Coast Guard facility open to the following: Active, National Guard, Reservists, Retired, 100% DAV, GS/NAF personnel.

To really answer your question you need to think about how you are using the batteries and how many batteries you have in the rig. If you are mostly always in an RV park and only have the 1 battery then not a real concern. If you spend time off the grid, have more batteries then it's a...

For those eligible and heading to the keys in Dec. As of this morning there is a 1 week spot open beginning 2 Dec. at the Marathon CG campground (our plans had to change due to family problems). These spots are hard to come by, especially at this late date so thought would post it.

I use a couple pieces of unistrut and ratchet straps to carry an 8 ft ladder
