    Advice for the "new to RVing"----

    Lots of good points, Guys. Here is another perspective. When we bought our RV we had no real idea what we were getting into. I had researched brands so I knew about construction etc. When it came time for the walk through our salesman told us to look over the trailer and to meet him in the...

    Kitty litter box

    Diane, We travel with 3 cats and put the litterbox in the shower. I bought a rubber no track rug on the floor of the shower stall so the litter would not get into the grey water tank. Before a shower, we take out the box. vacuume the rug and floor and then wash out the shower floor. No mess and...

    Rally location ideas - 2012

    Believe me you do not want to be in Tucson or LV in summer. Hot, hot, hot. In Co or Wy can be warm but in June not usually in the 100's. And the nights cool off so that you do not need air conditioning. I cannot think of a campground large enough to accomodate the entire club here in CO. Maybe...

    First Look: Heartland Greystone mid-profile 5th wheel

    Greystone While I agree with all of what you said, When we bought our 5er we would have liked a mid profile for the gas mileage. Quality is extremely important and if you have a good thing going don't mess with it. HL will have to compete with eco-friendly units shortly but I believe that you...

    Colorado Trip

    Colorado trip I agree with 2010Agusta. All of those sites worth seing but they are all on the front range(except ouray-pronounced You-RAY) Come to the western slope and experience a more authentic of what Co was. Absolutely go to Durango to ride the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge...

    Limiting a stay in Carbondale CO

    Carbondale Hey Guys, We lived on the Front Range of Colorado for 30 years and once we were invaded by the east coast and the west coast, Colorado was no longer Colorado!! We have moved to the western slope and hope that "they" don't find us. The problem with Carbondale is that it is so close to...

    King bed in 3055rl

    King Bed Dennis, we also have a 3055RL. We found the matress to be VERY uncomfortable and I went to work shopping at Walmart!!(tough job but someone has to do it.) I bought a foam pad & pillow top matress pad. Put these on the bed and now Jim says that "the bed sucks the life out of him"...

    Step by step winterization for 09 3055RL

    Amen. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what to do, fearing all the time that I missed a critical step which would result in ruptured lines buried in the walls or an exploded water heater coil. I found the low point drain to the right of the steps, realized the tubing in the control...

    Discovered fire hazard?

    It is standard practice in most industries to use a wiring harness so the wiring is all put together on a big sheet of plywood, tested, tied together then installed in the unit. This makes testing and trouble shooting a snap. Just look at the wiring in a car. The pictures in these postings...

    HELP ... big trip coming up and fridge quits

    I can't believe "Dometic apparently requires service checks at the 1yr and 2yr points to retain the warranty to the 3yr point." I am a 6 hour drive through the Rockies to get to the dealer - not an easy trip, especially when the snow flies. This is yet another example of a manufacturer...

    replacing kitchen sink in a 2008 Bighorn 3400rl

    Stained sink I sympathise. we are getting ready for a trip and I am cleaning. I was dismayed when I lifted the sink mats. What a mess! I would love a large one hole stainless steel sink!! Wish that Heartland offered this as an accessory. I have stainless at home and love it. Won't the chlorine...

    Poll: If in the Market, Would You Buy Another Heartland

    BH=Freedom We purchased our BH 10/07. We had never owned an rv before and were intimidated by the unit. We had received absolutely NO training form K&CRV in Longmont even though they knew we were ignorant about rvs. Luckily we had some friends who gave us advice. After alot of trial and...

    Sometimes Chicken, Sometimes Feathers

    Jim, I just joined the Forum so you don't know me. I was a nurse on a surgical floor that took care of thoracic surgical patients. The single most important factor in a successful recovery(beside a good doc and care) is the patients attitude toward the surgery. Keep positive, lean on the...

    Dog ride in trailer?

    We travel with our 2 Border Collies in the back seat of our king cab pickup. When we bought the truck that back seat was a priority. I worry that during an accident they could be trapped under debris. Happy Trails, Lynn

    Traveling with your pets forum

    What to do with dogs Jim and I just began rving(took or first trip in Aug) and find that most campsites respect well trained and courteous dogs. We have 2 Border Collies who are herding dogs. They are very high energy but also well trained. When we are in camp the dogs are tied outside on wire...
