Late this month we're planning a trip from Dallas to Big Bend NP. We plan to travel caravan style with some RV'ing friends. Suggestions for routing, camping locations, things to see, and any other tips/suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Try "campendium.com". That is our go-to website when we're looking for a dry camping location. However, you can also use this site for locating a pay campground based on your price range, amenities, etc. and see user ratings (even for the dry camping locations).

When we visited Zion, we came up from Las Vegas and drove through the tunnel. You have to get a permit to bring an RV or towable through the tunnel. There are size limitations and you need a permit purchased at the park. I believe the permit was $15. You can lookup the specifics on the...

When we were there last fall, we stayed at the Mt. Carmel Motel and RV Park. It is a mile north of the Mt. Carmel junction (US 89 and UT 9) and 15 miles from Zion. The campground has only 14 sites with full hook-ups. It is family owned, has good wi-fi, and is very shaded. There's not too...

Howdy, Pauls Torque, Welcome aboard! Congrats on your new Torque! You will this this a welcoming and very helpful community. The forum is a wonderful resource. Enjoy!

Hello, PStorm7, We were in the same situation as you 6 years ago when we bought our 2009 Sundance. We bought our Ram 2500 CTD Crew Cab 3 months later. I had experience towing a 27 foot bumper pull. The 5th wheel is much easier to tow and back. If you get a short bed truck, be sure to get a...

We usually winterize ours around mid-November. We often go out of town over Thanksgiving and don't want to worry about freezing weather while we're gone. BTW...welcome to NTX!

Bogie, thanks for suggestion! We are at Alameda Cty Fairgrounds Campgrounds now. We drove into SF yesterday arriving at 7AM. I wouldn't have wanted to leave any later! We left little before 2PM. Again...good timing. Saw most of our highpoints. I would agree about not taking 5er into city...

In mid-September we are heading to the desert southwest from our Dallas location. We plan to visit the Grand Canyon NP north and south rims and all the National Parks and Monuments in southern Utah along with Big Sur, Kings Canyon, Sequoia, and Yosemite National Parks, Monterey Bay, and San...

Re: Welcome New Members-Texas North Melvin, Welcome aboard! You'll find the member group friendly and very helpful. The owner's forum is an excellent resource!

Re: Welcome New Members-Texas North Gary and Shannon, Welcome aboard. The HOC is a great group and very helpful. We live in Dallas and hope to meet y'all!

The 16" factory rims on our Sundance are looking tacky. The coating on the rims are coming off. I would consider replacing the rims with factory 8-bolt truck rims if they have the same bolt pattern and fit my drum brakes. I'd appreciate fit advice and any other considerations. Thanks in...

Do you plan to tow something behind the 5er or simply a bike rack?

gscottfowler, Welcome aboard from Big-D!

Bob and Shirley, Welcome aboard! The Heartland Owners group are a very friendly, helpful group. In addition, the forum offers a huge amount of valuable information!

Bersa Thunder Pro Ultra Compact 9mm. I like the size for concealment plus the 13+1 capacity.

Well, our spring trip turned into a fall trip when some family obligations came up. However we had a great 3 week trip. When in the Asheville area we stayed 5 nights at the Lake Powhatan US Forest Service campground at the southwest side of the city (great campground). On the way there we...

Thanks to everyone for all the great suggestions/ideas. Much like RockwallJDGx2, I've been on most of this trip 20+ years ago, but this will be the first time with the TT and my wife. Thanks for the offer, DirtyMax88!

Thanks, Rory! It looks like we will need to make a departure date adjustment. We have a grandkids commitment that popped up the end of April in Tulsa. We will now be departing from Tulsa on May 1st using I-40 east. We do appreciate your suggestions as well as the others. We're still open to...

We are planning a spring 2017 RV adventure departing Dallas late April. We plan to travel to Asheville, Smokey Mountain National Park, Washington DC partly traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway, Shenandoah National Park, Nashville, and back to Dallas via Natchez Trace. We are planning on about 4...

We camped there one night last September during the week following Labor Day. There were only 4 campers in the whole campground and we had a spot by the river. It was a beautiful campground and I highly recommend the park and campground.

Not bad for a Ford! LOL!

I just received an email from Northern Tool on clearance items. This is a good deal at $27! http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/NTESearch?storeId=6970&ipp=24&Ntt=Item%23+51245

RawFaith, Congrats on your Landmark purchase and on going full-time! We purchased our Sundance used 3 years ago. Since I didn't really know for sure what kind of attention the wheel bearings and brakes received, I opted for a first-hand inspection. I removed the hubs to inspect the bearings...

A few years ago, we purchased an off-water lake lot at Cedar Creek Lake (75 miles door to door). It is setup for 2 RVs with concrete pad, electricity, water, and septic. We leave the Sundance there and have used it as our camping get-away for weekends and holidays. Now that Susanne and I have...

$1.599 for unleaded regular and diesel at a QT 5 miles from our house in Dallas! Yippee!

We were the second owner of our Sundance and was surprised to find no signal from the television amplifier connection. After some continuity checks, I found the cable coax and the antenna coax connected to the amplifier were reversed. However we found our reception with the Winegard antenna to...

You have received lots of good advice. Forty years ago (yes I was only 8 YO....LOL!) when I learned to drive a semi-tractor-trailer combination, I had a great teacher. (BTW...my teacher was the trucking company owner who was hiring me. The was before CDLs came into play.) After taking the...

That is exciting! We are thinking of retiring at the end of the year and hitting the road. BTW...how are you transporting the Harley. We have a Honda Cruiser and are considering transporting it with us.

Re: No TV Signal I finally solved my OTA reception issue this past weekend with much appreciation to those of you who posted tips. Here was my process: 1. I had 12v at the power supply but 0 v at the antenna and the coax below the roof connecting to the antenna lead. 2. I checked the...

We recently purchased our gently used 2009 Heartland Sundance 3012 RE. We are still getting to know the our new (to us) acquisition. We've already enjoyed using the forum. More to come.
