star link will be completely up in the near future and is a game changer. It is partially up now for the northern US and So. Canada and is fantastic with no limit an very fast at $100/mo.

Welp, after 2 years of evaluating various 5th wheel trailers, manufacturersand dealers, we finally ordered a new trailer and truck. Our budget was less than 130K MSRP for a trailer and 75K MSRP for a truck. This was a very difficult task, but with my wife's eye for fashion and functionality and...

Oh great, Heartland advertises that their trailers are "full time rated" and have a "yeti option" but you can't use your ice maker in cold weather because they refuse to heat tape the ice maker lines. What a joke and it is on us the consumer.

I am talking about when the trailer is not in storage and I am living it. My ice maker water line has not frozen in weather in the 20's and the battery will never go dead when I am living in it when charged by solar or shore power. Again Heartland should either do something to protect the ice...

My gas electric absorbtion frig comes with heat tape on the ice maker line to mitigate freezing. Why doesn't Heartland apply heat tape to residential frigs so the conumer will not be inconvienced in cold climates. Seems like a relatively inexpensive way to go that would demonstrate customer...

YES PDI is very important when it comes to RV's, but Heartland did a very bad job building that unit. Lets not put the blame on the buyer for an inadequate PDI, but it is the manufacturer that created the problems in the first place. What makes it even worse is Heartland bragged about a new PDI...

There are a lot of unverified claims about power and milage improvements on engines. I doubt that one is valid. I loose about .5 mpg because of the regeneration on my Ford. The economics and State regulations do not warrant or allow the various deleted kits for my truck. If I did install any of...

I just read where the RV industry sales are down 20% this year. What is interesting is the economy is in good shape, Jobs are plentiful, folks are getting raises and etc. So why the decrease in sales. Could it be that folks are not happy with the industry and shoddy workmanship? I am holding...

Last year Heartland anounced that they opened a new final inspection (PDI) facility to improve their quality control. How come this unit (and others) slipped though that final inspection with those kind of problems??

I generally stay a Bayfield River Park because it convient while visiting relatives. It is a small privately owned park that meets our needs and has an accommodating and friendly staff. However, the other parks mentioned are OK and are generally on par. If you want scenery of the mountains and...

It appears Heartland's new quality control center is not working well :-)

When folks claim a state, is the claim based on time camping in that state or simply drive thru it without camping. I think it should be common procedure to only claim a state that one has spent time in while camping. However, I am not sure that is a the proper standard.

Those that design and manufacture things spec things out for good reason. It is always a good idea to stay within the manufacturers specifications. If you need a DRW I would go with the F450 over the F350 because it was designed to be a DRW rather than an add-on. The new F350 SRW is the most...
