Thanks for the info, Tom. I have really liked the FL design since I saw the first one back in '05 or '06. It was only made for about two years and it never caught on well. I think it was because the pin weight was so high with two slides in the front overhang. Then it seems like about two or...

Don, They do exist. Take a look at the Redwood RW38FL or the Crossroads Lincoln RF39LN. In the Redwood you could probably swap out the couch for two recliners. I am not trying to drive anyone away from Heartland but perhaps the Heartland designers could get some ideas from these.

Durham, NC.

I have been following the "Crowded Camper" page on Facebook for several months. Their adventures are always entertaining. Becky's blog is also outstanding. She is an excellent writer and her posts will make you smile and laugh and sometimes bring tears to your eyes. This shooting thing...

Mizmary, who is your grandpa? I was born and raised in Caldwell; high school class of 1956. Left Caldwell in '58 to work in Seattle, ended up in the army, retired in VA. Was in Nampa three weeks ago due to the passing of my sister who was a long time resident of Nampa and raised her family...

Just press on the end and slide it one way or the other and the end you press on will lift out of the hole. The manual says to slide them to the rear but the first one I tried to remove wouldn't slide to the rear so I slid it forward and that worked. After getting it out and looking at it, it...

This may give you some ideas. Note the "optional patio" on several of the floor plans. I saw one of these at an RV show last year and it looked very interesting: Optional patio. Here is a video: Patio video: The model in the video has a small garage at the rear for a golf cart or a motor...

Has anyone else seen this announcement about the New Lippert control system? Here's a link: http://tinyurl.com/8ql437g Wonder if Heartland is one of the three manufacturers that are going to preview the system at the National RV Show, Nov 26-29 in Louisville, KY?

There are no Discount Tire stores in VA. I checked a few days ago. Might be some in NC.

Jim and Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad I got to meet Ruby last summer when you were in Williamsburg. She was a little sweetie. I know how much this hurts; I still remember when I lost my yorkie and that was five years ago. May the peace of God comfort you in this time of sadness.

They used to do those at Dually Depot in Elkhart. I would imagine they still do.

Just finished installing my Butch's Services 5th Wheel Latch Kit. Was not difficult, took about an hour. The thing to be careful about installing it on a B & W Companion is to make sure you locate the bolt holes equally spaced on either side of the vertical support web that is welded to the...

JohnDar, I too have a Ruger LCP that I got last June (2011) and I try to go to the range twice a month (1st & 15th are "free" days at my local range for active and retired military and LE) and I usually shoot 30-50 rounds with the LCP and my XD-9 sub-compact. I have never had an FTE with either...

Where is the "LIKE" button for this post? :)

JohnDar has it right. There is a check valve in that fitting. The first time I winterized my trailer, several years ago, I followed the instruction that said to press that little button while the water pump was pumping the pink stuff through the system. So, I pressed it until some pink stuff...

I'm glad you got some responses from people who have actually driven over that road. Sounds like it should be O.K. to travel with your RV. Have a safe trip.

I have never driven that route but I have a "Motor Carrier's Road Atlas" and it does NOT indicate that route is suitable for heavy trucks. So, unless someone who has personally driven it recommends otherwise, I would not attempt it with my trailer. Just MHO.

Re: ATF: Landmark - seven pin tailer cable It is intended to be connected to a receptacle inside the bed of your truck. It is a simple modification.

Do some shopping around. I got mine for $290 at a local gun shop/range. The Laserlyte was about $73 from MidwayUSA.com.

Ruger LCP 380 auto with a Laserlyte side mount laser pointer. Carried in a Black Hawk Size 1 pocket holster. Really convenient to grab and stick in pocket when I'm headed out the door in a hurry.

O.K. It was just a thought. Time to go for Plan B.

ZNK, you mentioned getting promoted to Captain so I am assuming your are military. Or...you could be an airline pilot or a tugboat pilot or something else; but let's go with military. Check on base for RV storage facilities. I have mine stored at Ft Eustis, VA, and the cost is $25 per month...

C'mon you guys! I've had deer whistles on my last three trucks and I haven't hit a deer yet. So, they must work, right? ;)

Interesting. However, being the skeptic that I am, I wonder why they never let you see the outlet side of any of those covers. Hmmm? Not trying to imply that anything deceitful is going on, I would just like to see the difference in the design of the outlet area of those different covers...

I used one of those harnesses shown in the link in post #10, above, on my 2007 Dodge 3500 DRW. I mounted the connector on the sidewall in front of the driver's side wheel well. I mounted it there for two reasons: 1. I can connect and disconnect the trailer plug at the same time I am latching...

Do a Google search for "5th wheel landing gear pins". You will find several prices lower than that. ebid.net, amazon.com, etc.

Thanks, Jim. I have not been in Elkhart in several years so I was not aware they had closed down. I suppose the recession has affected them just as it has some of the RV makers. That's too bad because they built some really nice stuff.

Jim, was there a particular reason(s) why you chose the CC hauler bed this time rather than the Chariot, or did you just come across a deal that was too good to turn down? I had the opportunity to have a detailed tour of the Chariot plant several years ago and I was very impressed with their...

Brett, did you get the black powder coated box or did you get the shiny one and have it sprayed with your bedliner? Thanks.

There is an extra "e" in that link. It should be: http://www.butchsservices.com/5601.html This will take you right to the item. I looked at ordering one yesterday and it said "Out of stock." Oh, well, try again later. Edit: I see now it says, "Out of stock until 1/27/2012" O.K. Get in...

Map looks good. No one has an excuse for getting lost now. :)

Hi Tom, I just did some experimenting with Google maps and found if you enter "2554 SW 28th St" it points to the SE 28th St location, but, if you enter "2554 28th St Southwest" (notice the difference) it then correctly points to the 28th St SW location and shows the River View Camp Ground.

Ray, I had a 2002 GMC 2500HD with the Duramax and I had problems with the injectors that caused excessive smoking at idle. This is a known problem with the LB7 and GM extended the warranty on these injectors to 7 yrs/200,000 miles. I started having problems at around 96,000 miles and after a...

There is also an Android app available for Pilot/Flying J. It is not an "official" one like the iPhone app but it works fairly well. It is by a private developer and still needs some work but if you don't have an iPhone it will give you some useful information. Go to the Android Market and...

My wife and I went to Turkey last month to visit our son who is stationed there with the USAF. Upon landing in Istanbul the very first thing we had to do was to go to a window and purchase a $20.00 per person visa good for 90 days. When I was delivering RVs and later driving an expediter truck...

Just realized you said "Front Kitchen" and not "Front Lounge." I looked up the floor plan and I have to say I don't really care for it. I believe you are correct when you say it is the only "Front Kitchen 5th Wheel currently in production." I have never seen a front kitchen floor plan before...

There are currently three FL models in production: Montana 3750FL, Infinity 3750FL by Dutchmen, and Redwood 36FL. The Bighorn would be the fourth if it goes into production. I don't know if they have actually built one yet. Perhaps someone from Heartland could enlighten us. Fleetwood built...

Hey, Jim, I was scanning the forum stats and happened to notice today is your B-day. So, I just wanted to say, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY," hope you have a great day as you wander around MS and the rest of the SE US. Glad to see Nancy is recovering from her unfortunate "camel incident." Wishing you both...
