    How big should our new RV be!?

    We started off in a 35' 5er bunkhouse w/ 2 adults and 2 kids. After they grew up and left, wife/I went to a 41' 5er. Most folks would say it should've been the other way around. We love the extra room tho it does present challenges if we want to visit any state or national parks. Plus take into...

    Furrion Cooktop FGH4ZSA Center Burner

    I cannot answer this question directly cuz the wife is chief user of it, but from what I gather the Furrion stoves are junk. Insignia's are much better. Shoot,, the micro, tv's and A/C's are branded Furious as well. Fridge is Norcold.

    Anderson 4-Way Valve Repair or replace

    In past cple of years, have replaced the check valve for hot water tank, water pump and 4 way A-valve (replaced it w/ the brass one from Anderson). Crap happens. Biggest PITA is taking everything out of the basement, removing panels and then stuffing my LA into the basement to fix things. Only...

    What model are you?

    There's no VIN anywheres you can see? Should be a sticker on LF outside corner, perhaps even stamped into frame or as cookie pointed out above. Do you have the reg for it? If you have the reg or see anything w/ the VIN, then contact HL to see if they can help you.

    Coil spring hitch from Lippert

    Has anyone seen the video yet from Big Truck Big RV on his series on Lippert and especially the one on what Lippert/Curt (?) maybe offering soon regarding a coil spring and shock pinbox? Yes it will aid in the jarring compared to a std one, but for my money, I'd still rather have a air bag just...

    Trailer Purchase - What to look out for

    I'm on board with the others above on having a checklist and TAKE your sweet 'ol time going thru everything. Do NOT hand over any final monies until your satisfied. In regards to the 2 posters who purchased from Couches, the same can be said about General RV as well based on stories of Alliance...

    Why no discussion

    Dear Sir, Why are there no or very few and far between Heartland dealers that carry Big Horn, Big Country lines? Here in Central NY, there are hardly any dealers that do. Thank you for your reply to main question.

    Will be buying a 2020 Torque T285 out of state and need to know the approximate height of the tongue. I haven't purchases a hitch yet.

    You can look up the specs for this online. Has to be 13'6" or less. What are you towing it with? Like rhodies said above, go w/ the B&W one rated for the weight or the biggest one they offer. Remember you should have at least 6" of clearance between top of box and underside of RV. The B&W is...

    Bed slide on a BC 3560SS

    Question came up on my FB page where a poster has a '18 BC 3560SS and when they put the bed slide out from the huge wall slide, it comes right back in. Any suggestions? We have the same unit and never had that happen.

    Flex Armor roof cost

    I've got 2 places according to their website to go to and each is approx 5-6 hr drive 1 way. 1 place I'd have to pay tolls, the other no. LOL. Coach was built in '17 as a '18 model so going on 7 years old if you will. Yes we look at new RV's but then come back to ours and say, it's not too bad...

    2023 Cyclone 3714 king mattress size

    Quality of traveler

    In Heartlands line of top to bottom: Landmark, Big Horn, Big Country. The Traveller is sub line (lower food chain) for the Big Horn. IMO, the Big Country is above the Traveller. I very well could be wrong, but we've been very happy w/ our '18 Big Country. We came from a '06 Silverback which we...

    ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE IMPROVEMENTS

    Not being a naysayer, but based on all what was written, why did this unit get purchased in the 1st place if all these items were wrong? Was told many years ago that don't buy something that isn't to your liking and say "we'll make it work" but rather get something that fits the bill 100%.

    2021 Landmark Tuscon 365 TV problems

    FWIW, the 2 tv's in our BC are Furrion branded. LR scans fast, but picture is a tad snowy. BR scans slow but is crystal clear. Like Dans above, we too have 2 separate connection.

    winterize 5th wheel when NOT using it for 9 months

    Another option too is to place charcoal briquettes onto/in alum pans and place in a couple spots in coach w/ things closed up to aid in moisture absorption. I do this as too much dust gets kicked up by owner of storage place , so keeping vents open isn't a option.

Upon getting back onto 17/86, I see a whole bunch of emergency vehicles on shoulder of the road lil ways past the on ramp. Once on top of things, saw what looked like a SUV of some type and a TT both...

    Would you tow this with a 1 ton short box SRW?

    On a typing roll this morning. So my question is: would you tow a 43' 5er total GVW 16,600, advertised pin of 2880, UVW 14,900 w/ a 2024 GM 1 ton SRW, 4x4, CC, Short box, 6.6 gas? My thinking is it's probly within the tow ratings albeit the max side of them BUT it would seem like the tail...

    Just for laughs

    The other day I had a new GMC HD passing me that had the outer "C" LED daytime lights. Granted 1 "C" was reverse, but a "C" nonetheless. Anyways as I was looking at it all the while it was passing me got me to laughing as it sorta resembled the "Chester" character for Cheetos smiling.

    Frameless window piano hinge

    Rubber rain seal on corners

    I did exactly what rhodies1 said as ours was comping apart (coach made in April '17). Took some doing but the real PITA was on underside of 5er. But once apart and re-done, just sealed it up again w/ some RV sealant I had and and all seems to be good for now. Have lots on hand in garage now.

    Bathroom sink drain

    The stock sink in our '18 BC bathroom, the drain plug(?) is barely open. I looked underneath but really don't see much in way of adjustment to have to it sit higher (more open) in base of sink. Any suggestions?
