    New To Me 2012 F350

    Funny you should mention that. I haven't tried to put it in the garage yet as I've been trying to clean out the garage for a few months. Here are the numbers: Vehicle spec for 156 wheelbase: Overall Length = 246" --- My garage, wall to door clearance (accounting for hurricane brace) =...

    New To Me 2012 F350

    Bought my travel trailer last year in May and stupidly bought more than I should have been towing with my 03 Yukon Denali. The TT empty is about 7200 lbs. (800 lbs. less than the max I could tow with the Denali) so I traveled with zero water in the TT and pulled out the 3rd row seat in the...

    Season's winding down.

    I was just thinking the same thing. I absolutely love Fall and Winter camping...

    Is it legal to have pets in the TT while moving?

    Interesting that some say it's awful while others report it's not bad at all. I wonder what the difference is..... For me personally, I wouldn't have my dog back there even if I knew it was a comfy ride, he's a mischievous little sh*t and he would probably eat all the food and tear the place...

    My Heartland experience

    I agree! It's not like we spent a couple thousand that we can just walk away from when things go bad.... these are HIGH DOLLAR items we are investing our hard earned money into!

    My Heartland experience

    I feel so bad for you reading that. Water was a concern of mine too when I bought my TT this year and I knew it had been on the lot for a while. Thankfully, it rained pretty heavily a few days before I picked it up so I was able to see if any water was inside when I picked it up... none was...

    The little engine that could?

    You know.... it probably is in the RV world. I'm still a noob so I have no idea :D I've been to the scales with my trailer and I'm right at max weight... and depending on the trip, even though I'm careful... I'd bet good money I've been over by 100 pounds a couple of times. I recently took...

    The little engine that could?

    What I'm wondering is if they were sitting inside looking out the windows, wondering who this nut is lurking around photographing their rig from all angles :D :p

    Installing new Entry Door in my Prowler Travel Trailer

    Thanks for the input. I just happen to have all of that in my garage... looks like I'm set. Thanks again :)

    Installing new Entry Door in my Prowler Travel Trailer

    So a while back I posted a thread about waiting for quotes from RV Dealer: https://heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/61482-How-long-is-quot-normal-quot-to-wait-for-a-repair-quote Anyhow, I took everyone's advice and ordered the door directly from Heartland... it arrived today! I also...

    Where to order parts??

    Here is the phone number to Heartland: 877-262-8032 It's an automated answer and you will select the option for PARTS (I think it's 2). Make sure you have your Year, Make, Mode and if you have the part # it's even better. I just ordered a door from them and they were very helpful, but I had...

    How long is "normal" to wait for a repair quote?

    I've made the decision to do the repair myself. Once I told the dealer there was no way I was paying $5,800 for all that work I asked them to give me a quote for JUST THE DOOR. They told me the door alone was $644.00 + 50.00 shipping + 3 hours labor to install it for a total of $1144. I got...

    How long is "normal" to wait for a repair quote?

    Since it sounds like we might be in the same area since we are both using Dixie RV, would you be able to give me the information for your mobile RV Tech guy? I would love to have that option as well and it sounds like your guy works out a lot better for you than the dealer. Thanks

    How long is "normal" to wait for a repair quote?

    Yep, same dealer! Probably just as well they didn't know you because I'm guessing it would have taken them a year and a half to fix your tire :D
