    Back in Rouge River, Or.

    We are back home (Rouge River, Or.) after spending the winter in Arizona. Winter this year in Az. wasn't quite as warm as in the past years but compared to home it was great. Our neighbors in Az. were from Mn. and they were especially happy to be in Az. However the weather here has been all but...

    At home preparing to head south in about 6 weeks.

    We arrived Sunday early afternoon. Unloaded the car and went shopping for food and water. When we got back we had a visiter coiled up in front of the steps. Yep, a rattle snake, not a big one (just about 2 feet long) but big enough to keep us ay bay until I dispensed with it. Because IT IS...

    I have joined the Dark Side.

    Now let me guess where you are talking about. They don't sell RVs and I know you live in or near Shasta Lake City. Are we working at Safari? I choose them over Nor. Cal RV because I think they sell Tent Trailers and you are a lot closer to Safari that the RV place on Victor.

    Touble baking with our Half Time oven

    Sounds like your doing it correct. Our works great and in half the time. Are you sure the Microwave portion is working? My understanding is the Microwave cooks from the inside at the same time the Convection cooks from the outside. If the inside of your brownies are not done it may be that there...

    Thor Industries buys controlling interest in Heartland RVs, LLC

    Re: Thor/Heartland?? This marks the end of quality and Customer service we all came to expect, now Heartland products are just another Thor crappy trailer. I really hate to say this but I guess my next RV will be a Jayco. I have owned Thor products in the past and when Thor took over service...

    Forum slow to load

    Yes I agree the log has slowed and needs to be addressed, however I also think the problem has been exaggerated a bit. This morning I timed how long it took to log on; it took 45 seconds to get to the web site then 25 seconds to log on. Something has changed and it shouldn't be that difficult to...

    We had some work done ( Refer) at one of our local Repair Centers Redding, Ca. I noticed they had some new Heartland models on the lot. I ask the repair Tech what he thought about the Heartland Trailers and was surprised at his answer. Quote" don't know a thing about them" Not what you want to...

    Refer temps

    I envy all of you, the best we get is 38 to 40 and that is first thing in morning the first time I open the refer door. During the day 39 to 42 is the norm. The dealer has been working with Dometic and they have replaced everything, cooling unit, thermocoupler, circuit board and hot wired the...

    Don't count on Dometic

    Latest update: Spent the morning on the phone with Dometic, spoke to a rep. then the Manager. All I got was the run around, they want me to take it back to the Service Center and start over and let them do all the replacement and test they have already done once before. They won't replace the...

    Some people just don't take care of their RV

    A few weeks ago A BH came to the CG we are in, the unit looked terrible as did the TV. I introduced myself and ask how they liked the BH. First thing out of his mouth was it is a piece of junk and falling apart. I ask what had happened? His story on a trip to Alaska he had torn the spare tire...

    Don't count on Dometic

    I forgot to mention they also replaced the board and today they hot wired the fans to run constantly, this is some kind of test and they will return tomorrow. According to them the refer should be down to 25 degrees by tomorrow.

    Don't count on Dometic

    Time to vent; our Dometic Refer stopped cooling six weeks ago. As of today they have replaced the cooling unit that I was told was on a Recall, then they replaced the Thermo-coupler, then the Cooling fans. Each time we had to clean-out our Refer and through-out some food. Now they want to HOT...

    We have a 2009 Bighorn 3400RL and having issues with the Kitchen Faucet. When I use the faucet sometimes, it acts like it has a vapor lock, I can hear the faucet trying to come on but no water. Sometimes I have to turn it on and off 2 or 3 times to get water and then sometimes I can't get any...

    Thermostat

    You may be correct that the Thermostat is the problem, however; if that doesn't correct the problem it may be the mother board in the furnace. I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPENING and it turned out to be the mother board in the furnace. I still have the original thermostat. And IMHO the thermostate is...

    Bighorn Spring Thing

    I don't know if this has anything to do with the issue you are concerned with but; when I ordered my 09 Bighorn 3400 I ordered it with the upgrade to 7,000# axles and G Rated tires. I have about 7,000 miles on the trailer and have had no problems with the suspension or tires. I keep my tires...
