    TOWMAX TIRES: I will add my recent experience

    This is so sad. This problem has been going on for over two years as told by varies owners with varies types of rigs, and yes it happened to me. Why can't this be stopped. I know several people who sent their tires in for inspection with no action. I was asked to take mine to a designated...

    3685RL accessibility with the slides in

    HI I have a BH 3685 . With the slides in you can access the refrigerator, bathroom, pantry and front closet/washer/dryer. You cannot access the bedroom. Hope this helps.

    Gateway 3650BH

    Congratulations Heartland makes a good RV. However the tires they use are very low quality. If you are getting TOWMAX tires, look out. I don't know anyone that has a unit weighing over 13500 that hasn't had tire trouble. With less than 3000 miles I just had to replace all four. Good luck.

    Looking at trucks need towing advise FAST

    I agree with cookie. I have a 2007 2500 HD 4x4 duramax with a 6 ft bed and pull a Bighorn 3685 dry weight 11000 gross 15500. It does fine. Having said that, if I were a full timer and loading it down accordingly I might want to get a bigger truck. I have made trips mostly in the east and...

    TOWMAX Tire Failure

    Well once again and again and again the same story. How can anyone with a conscience keep allowing this to happen. If Heartland puts 614s on Landmarks why can't they offer a switch out at their cost plus shipping or just authorize local buys with a dollar reimbursement representing their cost...

    Magellan RoadMate RV9165T-LM

    I bought the Magellian RoadMate RV9165T-LM from Camping world (very expensive). Unfortunately it does not work as advertised. I have loaded the truck/rig data in order to avoid places I can't go, but it doesn't do any good. Several times I have had to over ride it and change the route. I...

    Towmax Tires

    Ok I got it and sorry didn't mean to rub you the wrong way. Just that if we all keep fixing the problem out of our own Pocket Heartland and Towmax/TREDIT will still keep putting people in danger and making a lot of money doing it. I posted the following on another site and is worth repeating...

    Towmax Tires

    Re: ATF: Big Country - Towmax Tires Sorry I don't trust Tredit. When I suspected one of my new tires was very badly over heating I contacted Tredit. They had me, at my expense, tow my Bighorn several miles to a Discount Tire dealer for whom Tredit also delivesr tires. They looked at the tire...

    Discussion Thread for Roadside Assistance Program for Towmax STR tires

    Yes I know about that service. Some have not been so fortunate as you to get fast service. I did notice u replaced your tires which, I assume, still had good tread etc. Why, since the service was so good??

    Towmax tire blow outs, Heartland may want your tire

    I am excited the HL is looking at this problem. I have been beating this drum for over a year now. I have friends that could have been seriously hurt on I 95 when one blew and took out the rear quarter of the 5er. I have know several people with TOWMAX problems and they keep getting the same...

    Towmax Tire Warranty???

    I too can not believe Heartland is not doing something about this. We should stand in front of all dealers selling Heartland with these tires and hold up signs that warn people. Perhaps then the dealers will do something, like refuse to sell Heartland with these tires. A very good friend of...

    PowerKing TowMax Tires (Junk)

    I have these tires on my 2013 Bighorn. My good friend had these on his 2012 Big Country. Within a month he had two blowouts causing damage to the 5er. He finally got a few bucks from Heartland/Dynamic and replaced them with GY 614s. All seems to be good now. Based upon this I contacted...

    New covered Hitch

    I have upgraded to a 2013 BH and although the new hitch cover is good looking it presents a real problem when trying to make a sharp turn the new cover hits the bed of the truck. I have friends who also have a new Heartland RV with the same cover and are experiencing the problem. I have raised...
