After a lot of thought we finally made the switch to a Diesel pusher from the Bighorn. Our experience with Heartland and the Bighorn for the past 3 years has been outstanding and we will sure miss it. The unit was wonderful and our memories were great. We will miss our fellow Heartlanders but...

Jay Jim & Jean Bowling will be at Ron Hoovers.

Headed to Llano Grande in Mercedes, TX for our 3rd year. Lots to do and a super clean park. We are in the north area if anyone wants to stop by.

2008 f250 crew cab short box 2 wheel drive 430 rear end v-10 gasser timbrens 2008 3400 rl Bighorn 14000 lbs trail air tri glide We usually pull 55-60 mph Tach is 1900 We vary depending on wind spped and direction but probably average 9 mpg. Have gotten up to 12 on flat lands and down to...

We got the lower jaw for the tri glide last week from lippert and had our local dealer make the swap. Only took them an hour and they had never seen one before. I have to say that the ride was quite an improvement. It almost feels like a floating sensation rather than the chucking we had...

I finally got a response from Lippert concerning the problems I am having with the Trailair pin box. I sent them several pictures that showed 4 of the bolts they installed the trail air with that were bent or the lock washers were expanded or totally missed the bolt. After getting these pics...

Just got off the phone with Lippert and had an interesting conversation. I was told that there have been no problems ever reported with chucking with the Trail Air hitch. The problem is probably that I have timbrens on my tow vehicle according to them. This hitch probably does not work...

We were one of the lucky folks to have our springs replaced at Lippert after the ralley. While we were there we were convinced that putting on a Trail Air pin box would solve most of our issues with towing. We bit the bullet and had them replace our old box with the Trail Air. We traveled...

Thanks for the info Ray, I'll make it a point to stop by and check out your awnings. Between the sun and the rain sometimes those windows work against you.

We would like to add window awnings to the two large side windows on our 3400RL BH. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with these. We will be at the ralley in Elkart and hoped we could find someone in the area that carries these types of awnings.

Thanks for the info. Are you pretty tight when you turn your chairs for the slides to close with your la-z-boys? When I measured ours it looks like anything much wider than 32" would be real close.

We have decided to replace the original cloth recliners that came with our BH. They are not too comfortable and the fabric is beginning to wear. Will we have any trouble getting these out the door when we get ready to remove them? Also, we will be attending the ralley and wonder if the Elkart...

All my lower skirting, plastic fenders, doors and roof corners are dented badly. Can I assume I am looking for a significant time for repairs.

We were caught in a bad hail storm in Marble Falls, TX Wednesday and had a lot of damage. The question I have is about the glass in the door window. It broke just like regular glass not safety glass. The glass company in town said it's against the law for them to install anything but safety...

We really like the BH 3580 floor plan except for the center island. Is it possible to order one with this item deleted. Also as long as we are asking, can the stove in the BH be made with the solid cover as in the Landmark.
