Nope...didn't work! Think we might have to buy another air mattress .....from Walmart this time around. Our couch has nice storage underneath and we have plenty of floor space. Think we should keep the couch and throw out the air mattress the Big County #3500 came with.

Wow, Joe...did you take your RV in 2006 to a dealer with this machine? You said it wasn't fool proof and yours was not fixed the first time...just wondering. I watched the video and looks like a great idea. Not sure how much a dealer would charge to check out our rig but looks very...

Well, we caulked all around the back window, lights, side seams and top seams. I thought the problem might be fixed. Much needed rain for San Antonio but not for us.....it's still wet. Errrr....I should figure out how to post a picture. Bob, I just re-read your post...you stated stop just...

OH NO....we just put the patch right over the top of the fuzzy stuff....last night. We are going to inflate it tonight. I'll let you know if it works in about an hour.

Thanks everyone....I just heard back from Camping World.....11 days later :( They still don't have the pull rite rails. Camping World told me that Pullrite has been cranking them out as fast as they can and our order is in line with everyone else. Another 10 days is what they are telling me...

errr....wasted my July 4th morning at Camping World. They are saying only the Pull-rite rails will work. I have the redesigned work horse truck but you can't install a hitch in the bed. Ok, so it tows...nothing. :confused:

They r telling me that the rails won't fit a 2013 ram. I just drove an hour to get here! They ordered brackets for ram 2012 and they don't know what to do. Come on guys the 2014 are almost out and they didn't know this information. Who is pulling with a 2500 2013 Ram? What rail system did u...

We just spent close to $3,000 getting new seals for the slides and the roof resealed, plus other things. The cost isn't the problem. We have a leak in the back wall of our 2009 Big Country 3500RL. Can't believe something made in 2009 would fall apart this fast! Only one side of the wall by...

Thanks guys....you are right it's twice as much for a slider. Good to know about removing the plate. The one that we have been looking at is the pullrite SuperGlide 4100 (?) towing the Big Country 3500RL

Hi john, thanks for the help. I'd like to look into the one that is automatic forward, back and side to side. Not sure which one that is.

RAM 2500 Longhorn Crew short bed....seems about 50/50 to get slider hitch or fixed hitch based on the forum members. DH wanted me to ask....if we get a slider hitch for the short bed will other trucks be able to pull our 5ther. And can we pull other 5th wheels that are not on a slider system...

Have to say Howdy now, not Aloha! We finally arrived in San Antonio. Closing on a house in 30 days. Three adults and a 20 month old grandson living in a 3500RL. Not too bad...it's a lot more roomy than I remembered. Anyway, we went truck shopping. First to find a used truck. Man, these...

Hi Jay, I guess we are a strange breed....but I don't need to carry anything in my bed. I'm going to be taking this truck shopping :) on a weekly bases and don't want something that is hard to park, sticks way out and don't want to hike to my parking spot. If I can't get it under the BC...

Aloha Gene, Can you tell me if you are still pulling your Landmark with your dodge mega cab? I've been looking at several dodge trucks in and around San Antonio with mega cabs. Are you using a slider hitch? Is there anything you're not happy with on the dodge. Or something that you...

Hi Bob, you seem pretty firm about the short bed.??? I had a long bed last time and crew cab. L/B truck made it so hard for daily grocery shopping. Really don't need the crew cab either. Can you explain why not the short bed? Now, I read that I must put something in called DEF if I...

Aloha everyone, Hope your weekend is great! We're deep in web research over here....Trucks, hitches, home mortgages and realtor.com! Brain is frying. From a woman's point of view....it's going to be impossible to get the daily truck I want.....matching all these numbers, color and...

Aloha Eric, I'm so glad someone responded with a 3500RL! Thank you for all the great information. We are a little concerned about the pin weight of the RV on the 2500 rear axle. We've heard of people installing air bags. Do you have airbags on your truck? What are your thoughts on that?

Thanks Jim for the help....if you could combine the two accounts that would be great! (afdds and txdds) I better use txdds as DH will be retiring from the Air Force in four years. Might be helpful for me to read through all our old posts when we first took the BC out! I think I almost...

Thanks everyone, keep the information coming! Switched over to the ford web site this afternoon. Thinking it's best to stick with the 350 or 3500 2WD for now. I'm having a hard time finding used Ram 3500 that are single wheels. Most have duallies on the back. Will my daily ride be different...

Thanks Jim, Yes, that was my user name afdds! I tried several times to log-in but can't access my old email address to get my password. Oh well, hoping someone can help me with a new truck!

Aloha, I'm not new to the forum but we've been stationed in Hawaii for the last three years. I've forgotten my user name and email address that I signed up with. :( We purchased our new 3500RL six months before getting orders.....rotten luck on our part. It's been stored at my parents in...

Ok Kbvols, I needed that! :) If I've learned anything in the last 24 hours....it's have more confidence in myself....practice, practice, practice. Add a fuel tank and most of my stress will be gone. And my RV family is there to always help you. I found a web site in Texas that claims they...

Cyndi, that is about the size or smaller. Just don't know if it's worth taking a financial hit for 8 to 10 feet difference. DH is going to complain that it's crazy to loss that much money for the downsize. o One....he doesn't drive. Two....he doesn't plan the trips out, I do...

Mahalo Bill for your sweet offer to help me out. I knew there was some huge reason I love RVer's....they're one big family! I'm sorry to say that we are no longer in Vacaville. I should have changed my profile. We purchased the RV and truck in Sacramento and then got orders to Hawaii six...

Thanks guys for the quick replies. It's not so much the towing down the road....it's the turning into gas stations, parking and getting the 38' into the campground. Funny, when I'm towing down the road, I love it compared to the TT. However, when it comes time to get off the highway, make...

As you can see, I've only posted 22 times since 2009. We purchased a BC 3500RL and then got orders to be stationed in Hawaii. Our brand new BC has been in storage since 2010. We sold our F350 before coming to the island. We will be re-stationed on the mainland in the summer. Here is my...

Hello, Storing my new BC for three years :( while doing an overseas assignment in Hawaii. Does anyone know the depth of the four slides? My dad wants to park it as close to the property line as possible, but we need to open the slides once in a while. I'm stationed at Travis and a driver...

Wow, I didn't think about that.... I hate the white (yellow now!) front door window edge. I wanted Jeff to replace with a nice black. I can't believe with all the other windows trimmed in black, they put white on the front door. Fix two things at once! Can't really do anything right now...

http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/product/snaps-lite/7616 You can't see the back side of the pin. They're spring loaded and enclosed in the plastic. Camping world is ordering the Heartland parts and I can't remember if you can see the pin. I think it's bolted on and you can see the...

Thank you Charlie for posting some help. We did not think about running through the window to check. Great idea! Our dish is sooooo old and huge. Doesn't fold up for easy storage. I was hoping that we would purchase a Winnguard at camping world. DH is checking everything before we do...

For the satillite input there are 4 possible connectors. One says to TV one, one says to TV 2 which connection do we use for the TV in the living room TV. Trying to connect up the direct TV dish and having some problems receiving satillite signal. I know the receiver is working...working in...

Jim, having a blonde moment....Can you explain this again. If CW pulled the coach into the bay. They are not sure if it was pulled with truck or fork. Then put the legs down to do the repairs....if the legs were bent....how did they get the legs back up to tow it outside the bay area. We...

Talked to CW about this when we picked up RV today. They have to add plywood and other pieces to the back of the entertainment cabinet and then install an arm. They want $500.00 plus the cost of the arm. OUCh! Maybe $500 is the magic number they quote when they don't want to do a job!

CW raised the railing on the floor in front of the door. Said there was a gap. I'll put a towel down just in case and check the next time it rains in CA.

Ok, brand new 09 BC 3500RL goes into CW for leaking front door. Problem solved! (I'll check, just to be sure next time it rains in CA). Anyway, we go to hitch up and my DH can't pull up the legs on the front. Both legs are stuck. We go back inside and get techs to help us. After they looked at...

Wow! I'm so sorry for all your problems. Sounds like this unit should not have left the factory. The guy that went out of his way to hide the floor problem should be fired. Heartlands should step up! We picked up our new 3500 a few weeks ago...needed a few things looked at after our first...

Great photo! Thanks for posting. We just purchased a 2009 BC and have a blue F350. I've been trying to come up with something for the side of the truck. The blue is causing a little problem. Anyone else with pics?

Thanks Bob, This might be our fault....we tested the hot water during the inspection but it might have been off the gas. Is this pin something that the dealership should have taken out? Do you take it out and in with every trip? Sorry if this sounds so stupid? I'm blonde ;)

Just completed our shake down trip 2009 3500RL...couple of questions.... Pull into campground...turn on switch for Electric hot water heater. Nothing 30 minutes later...I flip the gas switch and have hot water quick. A couple of hours go by.... Retiring for the night and switch off gas thinking...

Going into CW on the 28th. It will be interesting to see what they say. Thanks for the phone number and help.
