    Big country, eliminate dining table and chairs

    Good ideas. I have the 3070RE and can't believe anybody but small kids or 90lb adults would use that table. Besides the few inches of clearance between the table and chairs I've never understood why 4 chairs. It should be 2 chairs with a smaller table, so normal adults can use it. I know...

    A few questions about used Heartland 5th wheels

    Double pane windows is a must if you want to stay warm below freezing temps (maybe one of those Big Horns have double pane windows). I don't have them and my arm next to the little bedroom window gets cold even under the covers.

    Poll: What Landmark 365 Floor Plan should Heartland work on next?

    Looking forward to the Syracuse availability! I'm a big believer in bigger isn't always better.

    Heartland Construction Quality?

    I agree. In most cases, a decision comes down to appearance and design. Which layout is most appealing and functional for your needs? All the companies integrate commercially available products, so a lot of the warranty issues involve the same supplier products across most every brand of...

    Valence Fell Off

    Any problem with the depth of these anchors in RV walls? I'm a little concerned about these penetrating out the other side or using them on the outer walls around the window. I've used these in other applications and they do work good though.

    Valence Fell Off

    There's a good idea. It may be time to go a different route with these things. The side valence's are the worst. At least a couple of them have come lose and have swung out from the wall at the bottom. I think it's time to try something different.

    Valence Fell Off

    Has anyone experienced a valence falling off or coming lose? Got back from a recent 100 mile trip and the big valance (about 9 or 10' long) over the big windows had fallen off and was laying across the furniture. I looked and that big valence only had two little screws holding it up there and...

    RAM Diesels recall 2010-2014

    I agree. I don't mind bringing my vehicles in for recall work. I only get frustrated when problems need to be recalled and aren't. This article says that they have had two overheating cases, no fires, and no injuries. I applaud Dodge for seeing a problem, addressing it with "current" owners...

    Pinched gas line on fridge

    I've got the BC 3070 RE which is very similar to your floor plan. I noticed my gas line was (bent) pinched and had it replaced and rerouted under warranty. Works much better now. I was worried that a single location in the line moving back and forth (with each slide transition) would...

    Feedback Requested - Proposed Big Country Floor Plan

    Things I like: 1. Big slides on both recliner slides. My BC has a slide that is to shallow to hold a couch and it rocks forward off the slide when you sit on it. 2. Love the theater seating facing the TV! 3. Kitchen and Bedroom access with slides in. Recommendations: 1. I'd prefer two...

    2015 Mid Year GMC Trucks

    I'm looking forward to my special order coming in. Interesting about the LED's. I hope you are having fun with your new truck (and trailer).

    2015 Mid Year GMC Trucks

    I love my current GMC, so I went to the dealer and asked them to order a new truck for me configured the same way as my current truck. I'm sure the Ford and Dodge folks love their trucks just as much. I really just wanted to let anyone thinking about buying a GM vehicle about the new mirrors...

    2015 Mid Year GMC Trucks

    They have the defroster feature as well. The old and new should have power folding as well. I'm always amazed at how many dealers order heavy duty trucks without the camper mirrors, but with the trailer package. When I bought my 2012, most heavy duty trucks on dealer lots had the smaller...

    How far to travel to buy fifth wheel?

    My recommendation is to study up on PDI's and control the PDI process yourself. The dealer tries to control it but you are the boss in this case. Slow them down where needed and ask lots of questions. Preparation is the key. Know what you are going to check before you even get close to the...

    2015 Mid Year GMC Trucks

    Just a head's up for anyone looking for a new heavy duty GMC truck. In August GMC started building a mid-year version of their 2015 model that includes some option changes. I saw one at the Texas State Fair. Here's what I know. The biggest change is the camper mirrors. First time GM has had...
