    Big Country Front Cap Cracked

    We have a 2015 model and while getting a hand wax done this morning this Crack was found in the front cap under the clear coat. I called my dealer and he asked if it was near the center, which it is. He has already seen another one not long ago. Check your front caps people, and get that...

    2015 Big Country 3800FL Bedroom AC Question

    The bedroom AC does not seem to be blowing very hard at all in our new 3800FL. The living room AC blows cold and great, especially when we flip the switch for it to only blow in the living room. I am a shift worker and need the bedroom to stay cool while I am sleeping. I know that the duct work...

    RV Amateur Radio

    How many HAM's do we have on here that regularly operate from the RV? I will be installing HF/VHF/UHF in my RV soon. I am looking to have two vertical antennas that will attach on the roof somewhere that can be lowered and secured for travel. Anyone have any pics of their installs? Mark, K5EXX

    Outback or Morningstar MPPT Charge Controller?

    I will be purchasing some flexible solar panels to go on top of my Big Country soon, and will also be needing a charge controller. I know I will be getting a MPPT charge controller from either Outback or Morningstar. For the people that use these on a daily basis, is it just a preference on...

    NORCOLD the "TOWMAX" of Refrigerators

    Sorry to hear about that! I am taking delivery tomorrow on my Big Country, and I made sure I took the time to read in the generic manual that they give you. It clearly states in it that Heartland and their limited warranty have nothing to do with the warranty of the refrigerator. I have found...

    Can a Honda EU7000is power both AC units on Silverado 37QB

    So I purchased the Honda EU7000is, and will be picking it up tomorrow. We are taking delivery on our Big Country 3800 in a couple of days. What plug do I need to go from the 30A to the 50A for the RV, and the switch/selector should be on the 120/240 selected, correct?? I guess the standard 30A...

    Reputable Dealer Recommendation

    Did just that today. My wife talked to Joe French this morning, and I spoke with him this afternoon. He actually lowered the price of the RV we are looking at, and gave us a better percentage interest rate. I have spoke to him as well as the service manager, and was impressed with both. We are...

    Reputable Dealer Recommendation

    I have to tell ya....the search for one is mind blowing. So many bad experiences documented and not very many good ones. It's just very difficult to pull the trigger on a dealer because it's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get!

    Reputable Dealer Recommendation

    I realize that finding a reputable and honest dealer is difficult. We have been searching for our Heartland model and have narrowed it down to a couple, but every dealer that we have researched seems to have super crappy reviews for customer service and service after the sale. We live in the...

    Torn - HELP!

    One dealer that we were going to buy from told me this while we were talking to them about getting ready to be full timers, "If you buy from us and have an issue, you will go to the front of the line. The pecking order around here is our customers that give us their business first, then Route 66...

    Fulltime Domicile Newbie Question

    We will still be close to our family, and visiting on a weekly basis. Our home base will be about 40 minutes from the address we are going to use. I still work a full time job, but we plan on making some excursions on my days off. I work a DuPont schedule, so that means 7 days off at the end of...

    Normal Full Timer Propane Usage

    I still work a full time job, so we will pick a park close to where I work and use it as a home base (monthly). I work a DuPont schedule, which affords me 7 days off in a row at the end of every hitch, so we plan on doing some traveling during that time. We will pay the monthly fee regardless so...

    So being new to the RV world, I am trying to work a budget for full time living. I have a couple of questions. 1. What does it cost these days (I am in SE Texas) to fill a single 30lb Propane cylinder? 2. What is a realistic number that I need to look at for full time RV living when it comes...
