    Hello all, We are only concerned with the weight and mileage ourselves. We do not do any off-roading with our truck either. Can you tell me what OTR tires are?

    Mission Tires?

    No kidding...I am suprised that Heartland has not addressed this issue myself. Since we are new owners, we will keep a eye on these tires since everyone else on this forum has had issues. This is just a shame that we would have to keep this in the back of our minds while out on the road...

    Fresh water tank fill overflows at 40-45 gallons

    Hello, We are having the same issue with our 09 Big Country 3300 RL. When we left for our first trip over the Memorial Day weekend (dry camping) we thought we had 75 gallons and the meter read full. We did not originally fill the tanks, the dealer had them full when we picked it up-so we...

    Mission Tires?

    Hello, This is good news...thank you all for replying. We keep our BC at an indoor storage facility so hopefully this will be a factor in keeping the tires in good shape. Our RV dealership friend also suggested to put on a latex glove and feel the tires for any unusual bumps or bulges, keep...

    Mission Tires?

    Thanks for the reply...much appreciated. I will most likely take this up with the Dealer and see what they are able or should I say willing to do in the name of Customer Service. I know this is a 'good luck' kind of scenario, but, anything is worth a try. If I don't ask, I will never know...

    Could Have Been Ugly!!!!

    Well ...that is good to know. We have our rig at the dealer and addressed this issue with them and they 'said' they would be contacting Heartland regarding this issue and get back to me.

    Could Have Been Ugly!!!!

    Hello, I have a quick question...I have been hearing about the 'China bomb' tires and wonder if the Mission tires on my 2009 3300RL Big Country fall into this catagory. Does anyone know if these tires are safe? The blowouts look very scary!!! Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, A friend of mine has a 2008 Keystone Everest and made a negative comment about the corian countertops in the new rig we just bought. He said to watch out for these countertops because they scratch very easily. Have any one of you had this problem? Please advise!
