Wow thanks for all of the great information. I knew I could find assistance here. I plan to visit my state retirement office and the SS office this week. From my first job at 17 I have paid into SS but my retirement is with the State of Georgia. I am not sure if the pension prevision is...

Thanks WDK450. When my wife and I were in Elkhart In. a few ago we met the President of the Family Motor Coach Association FMCA. He informed us that their association had taken a vote to change their by-laws to allow all campers in their organization. He was telling me about some of their...

Thanks all. This is great advice and somethings to think about.

MT Pockets and Lil Guy, Thank You so much for you input. I guess we have lived such a structured life that making this type of change is a little unsettling but, I know we can do it. As I told my wife (who wants a big new fifth wheel) I don't care what we travel in but I want to be able to...

My wife and I are just under two years from retirement. Our plans are to sell our home and most belongings and travel in a fifth wheel. We have just returned from touring several manufacturers in and around Elkhart In. and have narrowed our selection down to three. We currently have a 2014 BC...

My wife and just returned from a week in Elkhart Indian and the surrounding communities. We are planning our retirement and wanted to tour several of the fifth wheel manufacturers who claim to have "four season" or "full-time living" units. The trip was well worth the cost of flying, hotel and...

Thanks, I have noticed the rubber at the top and bottom of the shocks looks dry rotted and cracking. This is way I am asking if any know how often they need changing or what to look for

I could not agree more with Dan on the tires for your RV. Just because they look good does not mean they are safe. Look for the manufactures date on tire. I would almost bet your tires are three years old or more. I have experienced the Towmax/Blowmax world and its not pleasant. Two tires one...

I have a 2014 Big Country 3650RL. I was wondering if anyone has replaced the shocks and if when did you know it was time to do this. Plus, has anyone replaced the Dexter suspension component with a Mor/Ryde. About to hit the road for some extended travel and wanted to make sure these items were...

Re: water coming from camper Repair work completed and I wanted to share some of this with. The areas where the front and rear caps connect were the worst. The from cap had large gap that needed dicor caulk and tape. The rear cap also had cracks in it and I have repaired them also. The one item...

Re: water coming from camper The underbelly was my first thought because I had that occur before so I raised the front of the camper to its maximum, hoping to see water come out the drain holes I cut in the underbelly or run out the back of the camper, but it didn't. As a matter of fact more...

Re: water coming from camper Thanks I was thinking the same thing. Is it possible for water to get between the two caps and not enter the coach area?

I wasn't sure what section to post this. I have a 2014 BC 3650RL. This weekend we were in a couple of strong rain storms at the campground. Today when I retracted my rear levels water began coming out of the front of the camper near my left from leveler. If I had to guess it looked like approx 3...

I have a 2014 BC and I have replaced this item twice. The heat and humidity in Georgia causes the paper backing to become dislodged and it begins to kink-up and bend. The breaks the connectors in the strip. I wish I could find something more solid/substantial to go in its place.

Thank you so much for that information. I can't wait to get the new hitch and use the new truck. I had a 2013 prior to this. Because I use the truck everyday I selected the SRW over the DRW. With my Big Country colors I had to purchase the Western Brown and tan interior LOL... - - - Updated - -...

Thanks Dave good information. I know it will arrive and I will need to assemble some of the unit. Just needed a starting point - - - Updated - - - Thanks for the information. On your airbag system you alt height...I have found two settings one lowers the truck and the other auto levels. Are...

Just purchased a 2016 dodge ram 3500 with the trailer prep package and auto leveling system. Because of the prep package I ordered a Curt 20k hitch that is designed for the unit. I tow a 2014 Big Country 3650RL. My question is, the hitch has four height settings, to accomplish the 4 to 6inch...

OK enough hot air has been generated about nitrogen...has anyone tried the Carlisle ST 12 ply tires ? If so your thoughts on that...

I thought the Nitrogen was a gimmick also until two years ago. My dodge ram has electronic pressure monitoring. Here in Georgia the road get very hot, so I I inflated my truck tires with regular air on one side and nitrogen on the other. Drove around all weekend and notice the air inflated tires...

I am a victim of the towmax issues also. While my 3650RL is in the shop being repaired because of the tire explosion I have done a lot of reading about RV tires. Prior to my taking delivery of my fifth wheel from the repair center, I plan to have a new set of Carlisle 12 ply RV tires installed...

The slide walls are have a lower R factor that the other walls of your RV. Warm in side cold air outside creates the condensation inside. A area you may not notice is inside any closets especially where the wall and roof line join. If you are using the gas heater in your RV try using electric...

2014 Big Country 3650 RL this is my second issue with towmax. The first was noticed by my wife when we pulled off the hwy a year ago. The sidewall was bulging out as big as my fist. As the tire cooled the bulge disappeared. I raised the unit up and put on the spare. I located a Towmax dealer and...

being we are on roof issues, do any of you ever notice air bubbles under the rubber roof on your unit? If so is this a issue I need to be concerned with

Not sure where my remote brain for this system is located either but, the only item I have found useful on the remote is the flashlight. If i use the slide button my side begins to open and stops after approx three foot of movement. The awning does the same. The outside lights do work but, it...

RollingStones I feel your pain. I have a Dodge Ram 2500 with every tow feature possible but, no towing mirrors. I have a BC3650RL and fortunately there was a Camping World just down the street from where I picked up my new camper. I purchased the strap on type and they have worked very well...

I have a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 4x2. I am considering installing a set of " 4000 lb Super Springs" due to the soft suspension on the TV. Yes, it squats some and its not a problem other than my concerns with front landing gear being approx 12 inches off the deck while towing. Are any of you using...

Its not just there. Its everywhere. Always amazes me that the refineries are down for maintenance at a time when most are using more fuel for travel, thus giving them a reason to increase the price. Another time is if there is a hurricane anywhere moving in the direction of the USA. I don't...

That was very good and incredibly stable. Keep it coming

MCT Thanks for the reply. I looked at the hitch and I can raise it one more notch. I also looked at the front landing gear and when retracted there is space between the mounting unit and the RV frame. I feel I could raise the entire leg one notch giving me another inch or two clearance without...

An easy and inexpensive product to remove adhesive is WD40.

Hello yall ; ) My wife and I took ownership of our new Big Country 3650RL yesterday. Its our first Heartland product and our first fifth wheel. I picked her up in Summerdale Al. and brought her home approx 250 miles to Cataula, Georgia (just north of Columbus, Ga.). I had been towing a 38 ft TT...

Re: Upgraded our mirrors Thanks, trying to find information related to the trucks capability is crazy. All the information is different including the manufacturer.

Hello All, I tried posting this yesterday and I think I added to someones post. My wife and I are awaiting the arrival of our new 2014 BC 3650RL. This will be our first fifth wheel. We have owned a FR product Flagstaff 30WRKSS prior to this and we have been enjoying the camping community for...

I noticed that and have added some suspension bump stops to assist with possibility of sagging. As to the mirror issue I have to agree some of you. My Dodge came with every towing feature but tow mirrors and finding them for a 2012 Laramie is almost impossible. I purchase a set of the clip on...

I noticed some of your TV are 2500/250s. I have a Dodge Ram 2500 I6 with a 3.73 gear 4x2. I am picking up my new 2014 BC 3650RL next week. Its our first 5er. Do any of the dodge owners think I may have a problem towing with my TV.

My wife and I will take delivery of our 2014 BC 3650RL next week. We would have picked her up this week but, unit arrived with no slide toppers. This is our first fifth wheel and our first post with our new Heartland family. Our prior unit was a FR Flagstaff 30WRKSS. That unit was a 38 ft TT. I...
