Two years ago we stayed at Whites City RV Park (http://www.rvparklist.com/rvpark/1853/) just outside the entrance to Carlsbad Caverns. It's not a pretty park, but the price was decent and the proximity to the National Park were positives. You can check out their reviews here -...

I have the original euro recliner chairs in our 2007 Golden Gate. Most of the plastic seat support straps have broken in both chairs. The plastic straps form a loop around the seat frame with the strap ends glued or sealed together. The glue or seal has failed in 4 of the 6 straps in each...

I did send Jim Fenner an email last night with the photo of the damage to the bottom of the bedroom slide out. Hopefully he will have solutions to solving this problem. I did manage to squeeze between the bed and the front closet to look at the damaged corner from the inside. The bottom edge...

A couple weeks ago I noticed a patch about 3"x3" of the bottom of the bedroom slide in my Landmark had some damage to the laminate. Since then I have operated the slide 2-3 times and the damaged area is now about 3"x8". It looks like something is rubbing against the bottom of the slide and...

Thanks Dave. I just want to make sure I don't have the front end too high when traveling. I will take a closer look tomorrow at how level the trailer is when hooked up. Then I can decide if I need to adjust the new hitch any. Right now it is in the highest set of mounting holes. Bob

I recently added Firestone air suspension to my F250. This changes the height of the hitch. What exactly do I need to check to determine if I need to adjust the height of the hitch plate so I am towing the 5th wheel level?

The two left side tires blew out a few days apart on the way back from Arizona earlier this month. I replaced the fourth original tire when I replaced the third blow out. I haven't repaired the damage on the left side yet. Since the damage appears to be mainl limited to skirting damage, I...

We are staying in Mesa at Viewpoint RV Resort. There are 3-4 Bighorns in the park. A few weeks ago I saw a Landmark and Bighorn parked in the checkin sites, but haven't seen the Landmark any where in the park since then. Cooler than last year. BUT NO SNOW!!!

We had a right rear tire blowout a couple weeks ago on our '07 Golden Gate. Less than 4000 miles on them. I checked pressure on all four tires about an hour before the blowout. Our tires are Winland BCTJB43 LT235/85R16. Damage is around $2000. Most of it is to the skirting on the...

I have a Landmark. I'm not sure if the Big Horns have this switch or not.

2005 Ford F250 SD turbo diesel 4X4. When pulling our Golden Gate (about 15K lbs), I get about 10.5 mpg going just under speed limit. I get about 14mpg when not pulling.

I had a similar problem getting satellite signal in our Golden Gate. Problem was finally found to be a loose coax connection in a box above the belly cover where the cable comes from the UDC to the back, then out the side frame and up into the entertainment slide. I had reception problems with...

My dealer told me another source of battery drain is the LP gas detector which is always on. I was adviced to turn off the main switch in the battery compartment when storing and not hooked up to shore power for any length of time. Probably good advice to also close the LP tank valves to avoid...

While in Elkhart at RV Capital in May getting some warranty work completed, they had someone come by their service center and patch the dime sized hole in our shower floor. Did a great job. Unless you know where to look you cannot see the repair.

Jim, this isn't about this specific situation, but I don't recall seeing a place on the forum where all the Heartland manufacturer and supplier contacts are listed. This includes names of contact person, phone number, email address, etc. I have overlooked it?
