Yes, I will opt for repainting these pieces.

Yes, up here in Maine, I am sure the temperature variations went from 100 degrees to well below freezing for 5 years. Anyone know if Frigidaire offers a set of new drawers for these models? Frigidaire Gallery Model FGHC2331PFAA

Yes, the Big Country is 2015 but the 5th wheel sat for 5 years. We're just getting everything back up to snuff.

Hello fellow RVers, Has anyone had a similar issue with shelves in the Frigidaire yellowing over time? I'm trying some different chemicals.

Hi all, Thank you for the replies. I am planning to be at the BC tomorrow (Sunday) and will get some photos of the brackets. We've had our 5er in storage for more than a year and have a lot of repairs and cleaning to do on her.

Hello all, I'm in the market for replacement awning brackets for my Big Country as mine got damaged during high winds. Anyone know where I may order a new set? The awning itself escaped damage. Ralph

Thank you, TravelTiger, I'll check out the site right now.

Hello danemayer! Long time no contact. I've been working a lot this past year. Thank you for the post. I knew Heartland bought Mallard as I see newer Mallards sporting the Heartland name. I was hoping Heartland would keep some sort of technical files for these older models. As you probably may...

...are you kidding??? Yes, I'll probable make some enemies with this post so whatever and probably get banned from here as well. We've had our Heartland Big Country since it was purchased brand new and little by little, I am reversing the shoddy workmanship that was done by those wonderful...

Good morning and hello all, We have an older 1985 Mallard TT 26 footer that has the large plate glass windows where the upper section does not slide. These windows are located in the dining area of the TT. These windows have a 1/2"-wide plastic strip that surrounds and holds the glass against...

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the info. I am in Maine but haul cars around the 48 states and could load a few of these on my trailer on my way back home Ralph

Hello folks, I've decided to try and make my Big Country shiny and new looking so I got up on the roof and started scrubbing. I used car wash but couldn't get the mold/growth stains off the membrane so I applied some straight bleach which did the trick. Worried that I might do damage to the...

Can you name your source for those those 55-gallon poly barrels. I am in the market for e few of those. Ralph

Hi all! :-) I seem to have inadvertently started another thread along the same lines as this one. Very informative and this has clarified my query. I'm running electric when possible, and propane when needed to hurry up the recovery when we have guests aboard. Ralph

Fantastic! Thanks both for the quick reply. Ohhhhh, my wonderful, caring bride will be so happy to hear that she doesn't have to wait so long after I've used up all the hot water. ;-) Ralph

Hello all! We are in Maine, in the mid-coast region. More specifically, Stockton Springs just a mile or so from the harbor. 40 miles from Bar Harbor, 25 miles from Bangor. We are actually working on clearing our newly-purchased land for a future house build and at this time getting a 30' x 50'...

Hello all, I am surprised that there is a backlog. But it's probably just me not paying attention to what's going on. I haul cars for a living now and would like to possibly offer a hand to haul your RV to you. I am leased on with Foremost Transport since December 2015 and have been pulling...

Hello all Heartland peeps! Just wondering.. in an attempt to recover my hot water a bit quicker so that the next person in my "circle" could get in the shower, could it be possible to use both my propane system as well as my electric heating system to get the hot water up faster or would I run...

Greetings and welcome to Maine. Where are you now? By the way, there is a great section of road that you may consider in the future trip from/to Texas and Maine. It's the route 209 between Stroudsburg and Milford, PA. Just do a quick search on Google Maps for both locations and you'll see what...

Hello all, It's been a bit crazy here at the Bohm Palace. I can't remember if I'd submitted photos to the contest. update: I DID, on November 9th but, no reply regarding them. I hope they'll be considered. 'nother update: Dave got back to me. Cool! He DID receive my photos. Oooooh, I hope he...

Good morning, Dave Bennington! I was just referred to this post by TravelTiger and would like to lend support if only in offering some photos. My wife and I just completed a 10,150-mile road trip and have taken many hundreds of photos. I should say thousands. Many are of our 2015 Heartland Big...

Re: After 10,150 miles...we've completed our "re-position" Oh! Very cool! The attached photos are reduced versions and I have stored the masters in case I had use for them for the resolution quality. Thanks. I will check the link out. - - - Updated - - - Hey MTPockets! You are not...

Re: After 10,150 miles...we've completed our "re-position" Hello Trace and Teri, Yes, we really enjoyed getting together with everyone at the rally. It was the very first (and still the only) rally we've attended and we intend to get to more as our schedule allows. And we still talk...

Beginning Sept 11, Maine - Vermont - New York - Pennsylvania - Ohio - Indiana- Illinois - Iowa - Nebraska - Colorado - Utah - Oregon - California - Arizona - Utah - Nevada - California - Arizona - New Mexico - Texas - Louisiana - Mississippi - Alabama - Florida Ending November 07

It was great and very peaceful. A little bit of a rough road to get there though.

Hello rxbristol, I think I may just do that. They still rebound albeit very slowly. So, when these trailers were/are assembled, Heartland may have opted for a less-expensive item possibly? - - - Updated - - - Thank you for the post, rsg1963. I think I will do the same as soon as we complete...

Hello all, I am adding this installment due to a discovery I made after driving several thousand miles on this round-the-country trip so far. Apparently, the assembly plant didn't tighten the nuts on these shocks as the below photos show one of my shocks loose and completely missing the lower...

Taken late September at an area just past the entrance to the Painted Hills unit of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. A serene and obviously secluded spot for sure.

Good morning, All! These past few days have been wonderful in so many ways. Alina and I have had an incredible time getting to meet so many good folks. You've welcomed us, helped us, spoke with us, accepted us into your hearts. Saying "thank-you" seems so short I just cannot express our...

In Omaha and heading west.

What time and date is the Daniels Summit dinner? We're planning arrival for early evening of the 18th. We are currently enroute and in New York. Alina and Ralph

...here's another possibly-useful link for us who may be closer to the coast: https://stormpulse.com/ Ralph Update: I just realized that after signing in, you're also able to see storms risks throughout the US not just impending tropical storms and hurricanes. Quite interesting.

Good morning all, While doing my route planning, I've come across what I think is a very informative website that you also might be able to use for YOUR route planning as well. http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/# Ralph

We're looking forward to it as well. Right now, we're frantically prepping our "5er", completing some upgrades and improvements here in the Maine summer heat. :-)

Hello Trace and Teri, I will contact Cache later this morning to see if we can fill that last spot. UPDATE: Great news! We, Alina and I, are locked in for 18th - 21st September, and we will be in space U-8 (as there are no more spaced in the "P" section). We are arriving later...

Hello Jeff and Laurie, I am still working on that. So, for the time being, I am running off the outlet located just behind the left recliner with a UPS and power bar. The UPS will hide behind one of the filing cabinets and the power bar will come off that and hide behind the other. Ralph

Hello all, For the last several days, we've been busily preparing for the "BIG Trip" across country (Maine to West Coast to Florida) beginning September 11 and part of that preparation is to doing some modifications to our BC. So I thought I'd share some of the work we are doing to make our 5er...
