Hello All, I just discovered a leak on the main slide of my 2009 3490RB. The carpet is wet in about a 12 inch circle out from the outer forward corner of the slide. I looked outside at the bottom of the slide and the plywood floor is all delaminated and the vinyl edging is all pulled away...

My back toilet was doing the same thing. The dealer tried to fix it and did not have the gasket at the time and just turned it and it still leaked. they ordered and gave me the replacement gaskets for it and I installed it in about 30 minutes and it is good to go. If you take your bowl off...

I'm not sure if your 3450 is the same as my 2009 3490RB, but I have the 26" Jensen TV mounted in my entertainment center and to remove the TV from the wall, you have to remove one screw from the mount and then you can slide the TV off the mount. My TV has two carpet covered wooden blocks in...

Well...I was going to take the RV in to have the rear toilet repaired and have them look at the door catch, but for now, I filled the holes with Gorilla Glue and put it back together. It's holding pretty well for now. If I have further issues with it, I will explore a more permanent repair...

I have a 2009 Big Country 3490RB and the catch that holds the basement door up has been loose since I brought the unit home new in January 2010. So my question is, how can this be repaired? There seems to be nothing behind for the screw to go into to hold this door catch? Is there a way to...

All of the posts are correct here. You have to note the configuration of your truck and tailer when hooked up and then make sure you use the same number of links each time. Now, as far as the sway bar goes, it's quite simple. NEVER back up with the sway bar installed. You will not be able to...

Hello All, I have a 2009 BC 3490RB, purchased new in January 2010. The weather is just starting to get warm here and we have started to use the air-conditioning. It has been working fine for the first few weeks, but then the other night, while we were sleeping, I heard the compressor starting to...

I am no pro when it comes to this, but I had the same yet different problem with my 2009 BC 3490RB when I brought it home in January this year. My problem was that the bedroom did not work, but the living room did. So ok, the 1st thing I would like to say, is that the TV amplifier is not in the...

I have been looking at different dealers websites for pictures of the Universal Docking Station (UDC) for the Elk Ridge and I cannot tell from the pictures if your unit will have provisions for a roof top mounted dish or not. I have a 2009 Big Country 3490RB and it has, in the UDC, two sets of...

I am in a 2009 Big Country 3490RB and we love it. We are full-timing until later this year when I retire from the Navy and relocate to the next career. If you are planning on full-timing in your new RV, there is no question that a full profile unit is the way to go. You are going to want the...

Towing a large rig in questionable weather...no question, a 4x4 is the way to go. A dually will give you the stability you want and the 1 ton load capacity will give you the suspension you need. No helper springs or airbags needed. I have the 2005 F-350 Dually with the 6.0L powerstroke diesel...

Hello All, If you want to add a durable and dependable receiver to your bumper, this is the website to go to. The hitch mount is from http://www.curtmfg.com/index.cfm?event=prodetail&id=270&categoryid=65 and you can buy it online just about anywhere. It has a 350# max tongue weight and a...

I don't know if you have thought about it or not, but have you tried adjusting your 5th wheel hitch to the highest setting on the main support frame so it will reach the king pin? If that works, you can manually crank the legs up and then after you get your landing gear motor fixed, you can set...

Congrats on your new Big Country. You will quickly come to really love the layout and quality of the Heartland BC. Like previously stated below, please place strong emphasis on the PDI when you go to pick it up. Make sure you have an open schedule and put the water on, electric on, fill the...
