Ontario chapter potluck event, Dale and Alice Smith will be bringing a tossed salad for this activity. Thanks! Dale

Dale and Alice Smith heartland owners club 1780, we will be attending the rally on the dates as noted by our name on registration. If the sign up for food items is potluck, Alice and my myself will be bringing a Caesar salad to that event. Is anyone aware whether this campground has some sort...

Hello from Dale and Alice Smith, Mike and Donna, we will be bringing a large pot of chili to the potluck. We will still attend this rally, but we are unable to go to the national rally due to some health conditions currently going on with Alice. We will still leave the trailer at Wildwood in...

Alice and I will be there with bells on! Alice indicates that she would like to bring a salad to the Saturday night event. Is there any chapter trip to any local event or attraction? It doesn't matter to me I just wondering if I missed something! It'll be great just to be together with the...

Alice and myself are looking forward to seeing all of you at this rally! It should be a great gathering of a lot of friends old and new. Just wondering guys, about how many are thinking of attending the Eastern Canada rally? Alice and myself have made plans to go, and it should be a good...

Sounds like great fun guys! Let's see how many Ontario rigs we can get into this event! I think most of us are home now from our winter vacations, so let's get on the website and get signed up for this event. Alice and myself are looking forward to seeing all of you! Even a Toronto Maple...

Alice myself have just registered with Sherkston Shores Campground for the Ontario Chapter Heartland rally. We have booked in from 2 June through until the morning of 6 June. We are in Quarry Ridge campground site number 58. Hopefully this will give you enough information to update your...

Re: EVENT: North American Heartland Rally: IN, Goshen - 6/16/2015 to 6/21/2015 Where can I go, to see all of my registration information including site selection? I'm expecting that this is right in front of me but I'm just not seeing it? Your help is appreciated! Dale Smith

Thank you Bob and Christine and also Mike and Donna, for your input on the trailer issue after MacGregor. I think I just made an assumption on my own that we would be on the weekend right before the national rally. You know what they say about assumptions! Yes, we will be getting a hold of...

It seems like our rally dates for Ontario chapter, are now the weekend prior to the National Pre Rally dates? I was under the understanding, that we were having our rally, immediately before the National Rally itself. With this new understanding, and not wanting to be in the Goshen area for two...

This is probably a silly question to some of you. As we work towards filling out our 2014 vacation schedule, I seem to be unable to find an area within the forum that has all of the information regarding the 2014 NATIONAL RALLY. I would like to read more information regarding what the...

We arrived home in Ontario, 10 days ago, after our winter stay in Arizona. We took approximately 2 weeks of travel making our way across the country, on our way home. We saw a lot more interesting countryside and enjoyed our trip home very much. We are now looking forward to the rally season...

since we have now gone through our third set of factory supplied fold-down brackets, I stopped in at a Minard's store on my way home from Arizona this past week. They did not have two of the 12 inch brackets in stock so I ended up taking two of the 8 inch ones home with me to Canada. The first...

Hello Neil and Solange, We will leave for Arizona And the Great City of Casa Grande, on the 14th or 15th of December and will arrive in our Park around Christmas day. We Are in Fiesta Grande RV resort just off East Florence Boulevard on site number 441. I hope we get a chance to catch up with...

Hello Bob, Please count Alice and myself in for the MacGregor rally. We also expect to have our tagalong brother and sister-in-law, Mike and Cathy Jansen, with us for the weekend. Of course many of the people I've met them at a couple of previous rallies. We need to keep inviting them until...

Hensley BD 3 Using it with a GMC Sierra, with a 6 1/2 foot box. Works very well in our set up. Do not have any weather protection for the airbags so would be interested in someone else is using something for this.

Hello Rick and Joanne. And the best of the season to you folks as well. We will leaving on Boxing Day from London Ontario heading to Casa Grande, Arizona. We are having wonderful weather here in Ontario right now, but as we well know, it can change very quickly. In November we staged our...

We will be heading out from London Ontario Canada on 26 December and heading to our winter destination in Arizona. Presently we have great weather here at home, but we know that can change at any minute. They are expecting a white Christmas in our region this year. This compares with last winter...

I just got off of the phone with a Lippert service representative and we had an interesting conversation. He indicates that Lippert has no service bulletin or document on the change out of the 50 amp breaker to a more robust 80 amp breaker. Within this forum, there is a service bulletin number...

I am of the understanding that this fix was required, due to this gentleman installing a second 50 amp breaker in parallel to eliminate the breaker from tripping out constantly. This fix is discussed at length in another thread on this forum. It was in this other thread that yuphuhu indicated...

I also have the Hensley BD 3 hitch with the airbags. Mine rarely comes out of the back of the truck since we are busy with the trailer in the summer months and snowbirds in the winter months. I do have a small Spitzlift crane assembly that mounts into a pedestal in the back of my truck, which I...

Thank You for all of the good advice, thus far. I have always been of the thinking, that I like to look at the bearings once a year for a good inspection. This gives me an opportunity to look at the seals and replace them, and also to repack the bearings. Since I am now on the recovery side of...

We are the owners of a 2011 Bighorn fifth wheel trailer and I am wondering the frequency for which to repack the wheel bearings. The trailer has a full year of use on it now, including an 8000 km round-trip to Arizona, plus various shorter excursions this past summer.I have not done any service...

Thanks folks for all the good advice. I will make up some 6gauge jumper wires to have ready for this project once I am in contact with my trailer again. (End of December) In the meantime, stay safe and stay warm! Dale

I am really hopeful that someone close to the factory will be reading this and can respond with an answer. With all this talk about surge protection, why would trailer after trailer be produced without any protection such as this. Is there an optional install available at the factory, I don't...

Wow!!! Sounds like I even I might be able to handle that! I would expect this means that the wiring that I use for the jumper pieces should be of the same size as the wiring that is running to this single breaker presently? I expect that I will have to make up these short pieces of wire with...

I have a 2011 Bighorn 3055 with the same slide out travel problem as described above. The 50 amp breaker intermittently disconnects during inward travel of the large slide. It then reset itself and the slide starts to move again. I have purchased two new 50 amp breakers for this location. I have...

Dale and Alice Smith plan on being in attendance at this rally. I would think that I will probably have a tag along of my brother and and sister-in-law, whom many of you know from last year's rally! I'm trusting that they are still welcome! The rally last year in McGregor was very well done and...

For storage applications I use a lock assembly very similar to the Road Pro that was noted in one of the replies above. I fabricated mine myself out of stainless steel with two slots cut in it at the appropriate height to lock this on to the kingpin with a good quality hardened padlock. Of...

my 2011 Bighorn 3055 is also experiencing the stuttering of the large living room slide during its travel inward. I went out today and purchased two more 50 amp breakers and replaced the slide room control breaker with a new one and the problem has gone away.......... temporarily I expect. This...

I use the BD3 Trail Saver hitch with the slider attachment in my 2010 GMC three-quarter ton short box truck. This hitch works very well for us and we have had no issues with it, other than the fact that you have to remember to give it a few shots of grease from time to time to allow the hitch to...

You've done us all a big favor by your experience. I always carry loose short lengths of two by fours and two by sixes in the back box of my truck when towing. After reading of your experience I will know now to keep these secured down while traveling. You never stop learning little tricks of RV...

I have a new scenario to the low point drains discussion. On my 2011 Bighorn 3055, I am told that there are no low point drains on the trailer. I searched for them after I received the trailer and when I could not find them, I contacted my dealer who informed me that they were not built with...

Thanks to everyone for all the replies thus far! Looks like I have captured all of the items that everyone has mentioned, including the outdoor shower, the washing machine hookups, and the bypassing of the hot water heater. As mentioned, I bypass the hot water heater, and then I went and...

I have made up a attachment device for the fresh water inlet with an air compressor fitting on the other end. I have set my air compressor to a low pressure level (25 pounds) and have blown out all of my water lines by opening each faucet one at a time. I have also held open the toilet valve to...

We are often over in New York State, during our summer travels and maybe we should look up this event! I would love to see everyone and meet some more heartland owners. But the main reason that I would come would be to say that I found a park that topped my highest-paid amount per night.! Wow...

The plastic latches that came on our 2008 Bighorn 3055 were constantly breaking and I always kept a couple of extras in my storage compartment. When we purchased our 2011 Bighorn 3055 we found that the latches were of a new style and these present no issues with breakage. Since the style of the...

Prior to Picking up Our 2011 3055 Bighorn from the dealer, I had him install a receiver hitch that bolts directly to the frame on both sides. I was assured that there will be no issue with any warranties for applying this hitch to carry bicycles. I have a three wheeled recumbent tricycle that...

Hello Dave, I looked at your website attachment for the different carriers that are available from that company, after I posted my first response to your question. I see in their lineup a number of dual receiver type of applications. My set up on the back of the Bighorn is a variation of that...

Hello Dave, I have a trailer hitch installed on the back of my 2011 Bighorn 3055. Once the trailer arrived at the dealer, I had them install the hitch prior to me picking up the trailer. I have a three wheeled recumbent bicycle that rides on a special carrier in this hitch location. This...
