Hi everyone, Jim closed my thread that some good Heartland friends started for me which was titled "Larryheadhunter is getting operated on". I must say that thread and so many views over a 1000, was the best medicine I have ever taken. Without you Heartlanders, I would have been a dead duck. I...

I am trying to decide which leveling system is the best option when ordering a new Big Horn or Landmark. It appears there are pros and cons to both. The Lippert level up is the easiest choice as you can order it as an option, it is less expensive, and has served many Heartland owners well since...

Hi everyone, Many Heartland owners and friends have asked me about my 2009 Big Horn 3400RE, and the fact it is now gone, totaled, but not forgotten. It's not a pretty story but that's the way a RV bounces. It goes something like this........ I guess I should hate Flag City RV Park in Lodi...

I noticed when I have looked at new Landmarks, that the one thing that my wife and I found disconcerting was that you have to either walk through the bathroom, or turn sideways, when you walk between the all-in-one bathroom and the bed. One friend ordered the queen sized bed, but they still had...

Hi everyone, Randy Scianna, owner of See Grins RV in San Martin, CA, just south of San Jose, is an unreal guy. God threw away the key when he made this man. Listen to this, he never sold me my Big Horn, but we met at my Nov 2009 So Cal Rally in Buellton, CA, where he was a sponsoring dealer...

Ok gang, I have the Mor/Ryde Pin Box, but also have a brand new Hensley Trailersaver 2 air bag TS3 hitch, SAWEET! I definitely think that the Mor/Ryde Pin Box is OK, but not great. If I bought the 5th Airborne Pin Box, I would have air bags for both the hitch and the pin box. Is that...

Hi, Just a little note here. I just had the Center Point Suspension installed by a Lippert technician, and just last week he fixed an air leak in one of the connections to the air bags. He told me Lippert does not recommend shocks to be installed with this system, even though the Trail Air...

Hi, I am a longtime Sprint customer, and I just went out of contract, and since I am a premium member (WOW), lol, they have made me a really good offer of a lot of credit, if I renew my contract for 2 years for an air card for my laptop while on the road. Does anyone recommend a particular...

I have been fruitlessly searching to buy a Wall Hugger Power Recliner for my Big Horn. Lazy Boy and most big name brands have one or the other, not both, but to save as much room as possible we want to procure a leather power recliner that hugs the wall but isn't necessarily a rocker. I have...

Hi everyone, After leaving our 2 beautiful 4 year old beagles at home last summer when we went on a 51 day trip, and coming home to both dogs ignoring us for a month or 2 and dog droppings everywhere as they expressed their displeasure of us being gone, we have decided to take the plunge and try...

We have a pullrite 18K hitch but frankly we are second guessing ourselves because of the rough ride we are experiencing, although the auto slider is awesome and the Mor/Ryde Pin Box does help some chucking. The problem is with a bad back I need a hitch that will really smooth out the ride. I...

We would like to make a nice trip to the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona from SoCal in Feb 2010 and are searching for campgrounds there and on the way there. We have memberships in several campground Resorts, including RPI, Coast to Coast, Happy Camper, Leisure Time, etc as well as Good...

Last summer I had a serious leaf spring breakage in Oregon. Lippert replaced them with 3 leaf springs, the same kind that broke, and I only lost 2 days on the road. Unfortunately, Lippert only reimbursed me $65 for a brand new Goodyear 614 $315 dollar tire, and told me they don't warranty...

I am in a quandry so I will turn to any of you that may have an answer to this question, about soft but firm suspension in my tow truck. I thought I was buying the right suspension and springs in my new 2008 Ford F-250 6.4 dual cab diesel last year. The ride even with lowering tire pressure is...

Ok guys, I am sure I am speaking for heartland owners who aren't blessed with technical electrical and mechanical prowess. What easy to operate electrical tools do non technical folks need to carry while traveling on rigs that could make life a little easier? I am sure diagnostic tools are a...

Hi you'all, anyone have any good campgrounds to recommend heading from socal to Earp ot Havasu, and up to I 40 all the way to Nashville, TN to the 2010 Heartland National Rally and figure its never too early to reserve the best campgrounds along the way. Jim G already suggested Oasis RV Resort...

I was wondering if anyone knows the specs on replacing my top passenger side living room slide seal that is torn in several places? Should I buy it directly from Heartland or just get it from Camping World. I have a really bad back and its difficult for me to get on top of the roof to measure...

Well folks, almost bought the big one the other day. On the 33rd day of our 51 day summer trip, 5 minutes after passing the Tillamook Cheese factory going south, heading for Newport,OR our spring leaf sets, shocks, U Bolts from the rear axle, and one of our new Goodyear G614 bit the dust. Thank...

I have decided to add a non-ducted 8300 or 9200 BTU Coleman Polar A/C with heat strip for our bedroom, and lo and behold my Motosat 5LNB Satellite dish is located 18" behind my fantastic fan cover on the roof. Anyone know the clearance required to install a low profile a/c like this. And if...

Could someone explain the pros and cons of heat strip or pump for bedroom non ducted ac we are buying for this summers trip? And which one you would personally buy in our situation?

Anyone have good ideas for the bedroom A/C as we are looking for a low profile one that will cool us off in the summer. Last summer without one we relied luckily on a oscillating fan that somewhat cooled us off, but this summer we are heading out for a 51 day trip and while in Calistoga Wine...

Hi everyone, I need a small propane tank, like 5 or 10 lbs max to use with my Weber baby Q propane bbq, and think its absurd to use the little blue or green throw aways which cost alot of money. I plan to BBQ alot on our summer trip and don't want to lug out a 20lber every nite. Where do you...

From latest issue of RV Travel One area often overlooked for RV maintenance–and pretty much every RV has one or more to overlook–are locks. Door locks, compartment locks, locks on hitches, locks on toolboxes. Where’s Dr. Suess when you need him? He’s probably stuck in a locked compartment . . ...

Just so you know that HL Warranty tries to work with you, called Garry one of the warranty service guys. Gave him a list of problems arising from our 32 day shakedown cruise to 10 states. The following are the kind of problems we had: fantastic fans (both) inop on remote; align cabinet doors...

anyone who can explain in layman terms the "tent in the vent" concept i would appreciate it. I have my rig in for warranty repairs, and i could probably pay them a little extra, to utilize that idea, especially if it cools off the bedroom on hot nights. and the idea of adding extra vents is...

wow guys look at this before you buy anything. 1000 trails is in rough times as resellers/and previous owners are selling it dirt cheap plus a $750 transfer fee. Read highway magazines campground memberships for sale as I did and got a great deal for just under a $1000 total first year, for...

I am looking for a discounted private camping membership that includes 1000 Trails, RPI, Coast to Coast, and any other organizations where my family can make reservations ahead of travel. These must be nice campgrounds with hookups. I appreciate any assistance as we are going on a summer trip...

I have a question. Today my local trailer repair store declined my request to replace all the rubber stems on my 16" Mission tires, as he said you cannot utilize that option when you have Aluminum rims. I just bought the tire pressure pro from Pat McFall but was curious if anyone has a...

DW and I accepted an invite by this Colorado River Adventure resort on the Colorado River and they bribed us with $50 and $200 in gas certificates and we got to stay for free for 5 days and 4 nights if we came on a Sunday and listened to their 30 minute spiel. So on March 16-20, 2008, we drove...

I recently purchased a 2009 Bighorn 3400RE in February 2008, and I received a Samsung DVD (not sure if it includes a FM Tuner), a 42" Olevia HDTV, and a 19" Jensen HDTV for the bedroom and surround sound in the living room. That's all folks for an Rear Entertainment System RV. Jim informed me...
