This thread won't die until the LAST Blow Max is off the road! I related my experience with a local sherriffs deputy that I knew purchased a Greystone within a month of when I got my Sundance. I warned him to check his tires. He thanked me and said that they only had one more outing planned this...

Yeah 'cause we all carry our failed tires around on vacation...... The Towmax tires are defective, we do not need a lab for that. As long as Heartland and other manufacturers move away from equipping these trailers with proven crap we the consumer win. Sounds like they are indeed moving away...

60 MPH going around Chicago = Death by 18 wheeler! I run 65 most of the time, but hills drift it up a bit. These tires are not suitable for a manure spreader with a SMV sign it!

Two years and maybe 3000 miles and broke belts in two tires. I have watched them closely, these failed in the last 45 minutes of an 8-hour pull. Temp. was 82 degrees, speed no more than 68 mph. I had 5 failures in a single year on my old trailer, so I'm no stranger to these piles of crap. I was...

The insurance guy was out yesterday. He has to crunch the numbers yet..... But both he and I are VERY impressed with how well the trailer weathered. The fiberglass is perfect all the way around. Roof is fine. Damage is limited to the lower tin skirting on the slides, (2) window frames, and the...

Bad day for the 3300CK. Skirting dented up for sure, have not fully inspected yet. Don't want to look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IHWlKtKrBo&feature=youtu.be

Bill, That's a definate option for those that don't want to pop a bunch of holes in the side or just want to "prove" that a gutter would fix the water problem. When it comes to dealing with water issues, ALL options are on the table. Myself, I did not want to deal with any adhesion issues down...

I just went to my RV dealer and requested a 9' length of gutter and EVERYTHING I would need to install it. They had several pieces of take-offs that could have been had for cheap, but I thought $17 was pretty ok for new...LOL. My total was less than $50, but I already had the grey putty tape...

Well kids it looks like a success. Several storms have rolled through and not a drop of water enterred the outside pantry and I did not even bother to lock it. I highly recommend this modification if you have a 3300CK. (Is it a modification if the factory used to do it?)

SJS, Very interesting. I did a search and found the 11's with the gutters and hit and miss on the '12's. None on the 13's Here is a picture I found of a 2011 Looks like a running change in early 2012. Wow, looks almost exactly what I installed.....guess I'm in the wrong industry! They also...

Forcast is rain and storms tomorrow. We'll see what happens!

Well I went all in and opted for standard RV gutter. Hated to drill holes, but I wanted a factory style fix that would last. Les than fifty bucks. for everything to complete the installation. It has spouts on both ends, but is angled to favor drainage to the rear of the coach.

Is your '13 the newer colors with the tan lower and maroon accents or does it have more blue graphics. Mine has the maroon skirts and it looks great with the purple-burgundy skirts. Otherwise...ya.....Happy painting!

I found this product while surfing around tonight. Looks pretty good ( I would prefer aluminum as well). If I found a place that sold it by length I would probably use it. http://www.trimlok.com/prod/Drip-Rail/Plastic-Profiles/All-Product-Categories_141/Drip-Rail_67.aspx

I'm hunting for a solution to keep water out of the rear outside pantry door. In heavy rains water comes down the side and invariably ends up on the floor back there. Myself and the dealer have taken turns trying to correct the seal, but what it really needs is a "visor" / gutter over this area...
