    1500HD towing

    I owned one and it was a great truck. Pulled 8,000 lbs. with it and it had no problems at all. I'd recommend it for 7500 lbs. any day.

    TOWMAX Claim denied - Anyone been successful?

    The trailer manufacturer's should not be putting this junk on thier trailers be it Heartland or any other manufacturer. People could be hurt, raise the price if they have to and put decent tires on these units!

    I need a reputable dealer or Internet dealer in the Northeast

    I have bought a few units from Pete's RV Sales in Burlington VT. He now has Heartland products and his service is excellent and prices are fair. I would not hesitate to recommend these people.

    Ford or Chevy

    I can only pass along my own experience not a comparison. I owned a 2008 Chev 3500 DM and loved the truck. I originally pulled a 37' Mobil Suite with it and then traded for a 2010 3580 Big Horn. They both were very heavy and the truck pulled with ease. I never had one bit of trouble with the...

    Duramax/Allison Transmission Question

    I have basically the same truck and I always tow with the tow haul on even at highway speeds. The Allison manual recomends it also so I figure there must be a reason they do.

    Dual Pane Windows ?

    We have them and would do it again. They are worth the money in my opinion.

    Brand new Focus has to have complete nose rebuilt due to water damage!

    I will pass on the expeience that we had with another brand before we bought our Big Horn. We purchased a very expensive fifth wheel and after the first weekend of use discovered a serious water leak. It was very much the same circumstance that you have. When the unit was tore apart it was full...

    Opinions Please: Which is better - 100% Diesel or Bio Diesel
