I had an experience maybe some of you might like to hear about. I also posted this on the Heartland RV FB page. I just wanted you, that have the Mor/Ryde I/S, to hear what happened to me over the last week or so. While I was at Old Barn, Preston MN Heartland Rally, I had the thought that I...

I have a R22-100 receiver in my 2008 3400RE. I'm not referring to anything about the roof mounted antennas. I use the SD on a tripod. I also don't use the cubes or such to connect to the satellite. At this time I only use the SD service but may be interested in going to HD if I can handle the...

I just got a 2016 F350 and am thinking of taking the tank out of my 2006 F250 and using it. However the company that made it, American Tank, doesn't seem to be still in business. I was wondering what and where you may have purchased your tank. I want one that fits below the bed rails so I can...

I have a 2006 F250 6.0 diesel that has about 425,000 miles on it. This year I had new heads installed and had to replace the transmission. I recently had all 8 injectors replaced. I have pretty well kept the truck in good running condition but I am also looking at the ability of the new trucks...

The other day I closed my slides in and one of the ceiling fan blades caught on the slide and snapped. I was just wondering if anyone has had to replace the blades on their ceiling fan and where they went to get any.. BC

I know this subject has been discussed before and there are a lot of methods used by RVers. Today I arrived at Drifters RV Park in Rockport TX for a couple of days. They assigned me site #34 which is a back-in site. I immediately asked for a spotter to help me back in and they called a man to...

My 2006 F250 Diesel is due for new annual registration and inspection. I received this a few months ago from my Escapees News Bulletin email. I want to update everyone on the issue of the registration/MVIS law that will be enacted on March 1, 2015, for the SKPs who register their vehicles in...

I am staying in Bend Oregon with my cousin. Today as we were going to pickup a lawn tractor we spotted a Heartland Bighorn going north on Hwy 97 about 10 am and going through La Pine Oregon.

I have been to a lot of campgrounds since 2007 when I started fulltiming. I have been in a campsite for 3 days and it was $70 per day. That is all I could afford. Looking at some of the campsites many talk about that are really nice they are running from $50 per night to $70 and even $140 (for...

Over the years I have stayed in a number of RV Parks. Some good some not so good. Sometime ago I posted a GPX file of the campgrounds. I don't remember when I posted it but as I get ready to travel this year I was going through the list of campgrounds I have in BaseCamp. I exported them thinking...

Well I am not a bullet head, yet. I am just learning here in my old age. I am staying with a cousin in Oregon and he is a firearms Guru. He builds them, modifies them and loads them. I had been looking to get me a good rifle. I have never had anything more than a 12 Gage pump, 22 Ruger...

I would like to check the break wear on both my trailer and truck. However, I really don't want to remove 8 tires to check how much pad I have left. I went to an auto parts place to see if they have something that I use to measure the amount of pad remaining. Actully I don't know what the...

I am at Pipe creek Texas getting my living room slides repaired. Over the years I have had a leak that is rotting out the edges of the big slide. Tried to stop it but didn't get it done. A friend helped me work on the front edge of the big slide last year or so and I worked on the rear of the...

We have a 2008 Bighorn 3400RE. The two lazy boy recliners are about worn out. Mine is broken and we are going to replace both of them. We are wanting a Theater Couch/Chairs. The full width of our slide is 77.5" but the valance on each side takes up extra room making the clearance of 72". If...

I have read a number of posts about having A/C's put into the new trailers.. Some are talking about having 3 A/C's. That should keep it cool in the summer if you're in Texas.. I have seen 3 A/C's in some of the upscale MH's but few in trailers. How many are looking for this? What would this...
