Had a great time at the rally! The seminars were very very helpful for us newbies as were campers near us (IF 507), the NY folks! Service department was great...we had a flooded basement do to a water valve leak...and they fixed it right away! Just want to thank Jim B. and everyone involved in...

Re: 8 of us here now! Hi Jim, Allen and I are really looking forward to our first Heartland rally in Goshen! We have lots of questions so I'm sure the seminars will be very helpful...and all the Heartland folks! Need some expertise on backing up too! I see there are more cancellations. Are...

Hi Jim, Allen and I are really looking forward to our first Heartland rally in Goshen...as we have a lot of questions and need more help learning to back up. I see there are more cancellations and was wondering if any were 'full hookups' we could switch to. If not, no biggy. We are assigned...

Wow...that is just awful! I feel so bad for the folks in Alabama. I pray they can re-build and get back on their feet. We donated a bunch of clothes and shoes when 'PaknMail' had a clothing drive for them. They had a ton of donated stuff to be shipped down there.

We bought our BC from them in April and also spent 2 nights at their sevice center so they could help us learn everything about it. Rob Reid helped us with hitching, unhitching and even took us out on the road for a practice run with it and then helped DH back it in again. We are very happy with...

Thank you, Jim. I will let Al know that.

SilverRhino, just want to say hi. We are very new to this forum and have learned so much and have a lot more to learn.

On Saturday we practice backing up in the driveway. DH did a fair job with me guiding outside. Me backing up, on the otherhand, not good...not good at all! :mad: I finally just made a big ole u-turn in our yard (we have the room) and DH jumped in the truck and I drove the BC around town for half...

Must be nice to know how to do all that stuff.

You have all been a very big help! Thank you!

Thank you, just want to be sure. Tryin to keep it all strait.

I dream of the day when Al and I have our own set routine. I have started a "sloppy copy" check list and add to it with everyone's suggestions. It's just trying to get it all in order. I don't think I would like moving that many times in a cg but it would sure give us a lot of practice...

Our instrution booklet says there is an 8, 9, and 10 o'clock position for the lever. You pull the release pin and lock the lever in the 8 o'clock position...is this what you are talking about? What is the 'trailer brakes on-pull away test? :confused:

Thanks, caisiel. It kinda freaks you out to see it wobble like that after disconnecting for the first time...for us newbies I mean. Thanks everyone!

Having shown dogs in the past, I am a big advocate of ex-pens (play pens for dogs)... and crates. My little guys are older but still crated at night. I think using a ex-pen outside is the way to go for your two beagle girls. I too will have to get a smaller -actually shorter- one for my girls...
