I'm pulling our 3650BH with a 2011 Ford F250 Diesel and it pulls wonderfully. You should be fine with 2500HD. My in-laws tow a heavier 5th wheel trailer with a older 2500 diesel and have had no issues. I weighed the trailer last year at a CAT scale. Loaded with gear, no food/drinks, empty...

Yes, I talked to Charlie yesterday and updated our reservations to include Thursday night in addition to the Friday and Saturday nights we already had. See you then.

Slight update to our plans. We've arranged for a MUCH needed mommy and daddy weekend, so it will just be my wife at I at the rally that weekend. Also, we will be coming in a day earlier than expected, arriving Thursday evening. Looking forward to meeting everyone. See you then.

We have a 2014 Gateway 3650BH and have been pulling it with a 2011 Ford F250 Diesel since this past June. Pulls like a champ. I weighed it on the local Cat Scales a few months back. Here's the info from that: Trailer Weight (unhitched): 14,220 lbs Trailer Weight (hitched): 11,920 lbs Pin...

I installed a set of JT Strong arm stabilizers on the front landing gear of our Gateway 3650BH. They made a world of difference, completely worth the $$$. I did not install the two that were included for the rear stabilizers, as I wasn't sure I would need them. I have since decide that I do...

Please add us to the list. Kurt, Dori, and our 2 children. I called today and reserved a spot for Friday and Saturday nights. The current plan is to leave right after school's out that Friday, and arrive close to 7pm. We'll be staying through Sunday. I'm going to see what I can do about...

We took the trailer out to a local State Park this weekend, we have been having camping withdrawls since we were last out Thanksgiving weekend. Turned out to be a beautiful weekend, 60+ during the day, upper 30s at night, hardly any wind. Back to work this morning and it was 18 degrees and...

Marcus, We've have a Gateway 3650BH, bought it back in June. Absolutely love it. Sounds like you're loving yours just as much. One thing I wanted to mention was that we are having an issue with the forward black tank valve (3650BH has a set of black/gray tanks up front as well as in the...

Dang, I was over at the storage lot Monday afternoon checking on the rig. I didn't see this post until later, else I would have measured for you while I was there. I'd be more than happy to measure for you next time I'm over there, possibly this weekend or next. I'm willing to bet it's going...

Yes, it's a 2011 Ford F250 Lariat, 6.7l Diesel. I bought it used back in March with almost 60k miles on it. It pulls that 3650bh like a champ. Coming from a Toyota Tundra, the Ford rides quite a bit rougher, but to be expected for a 3/4 ton pickup. I've added air bags to the rear suspension...

Dave, Last weekend was the first time we had a need for heat in our 3650BH. It took me a bit to figure out that the bedroom thermostat had nothing to do with the heater, but it makes complete sense now. We have two small space heaters from WM from our old trailer that we plugged in and ran on...

Congrats Breeno. We took delivery of our new Gateway 3650 BH back in June and absolutely love it. The kids have plenty of room to play in the back, and we have plenty of room ourselves in the master bedroom. I can't say enough good things about the Gateway line and this floorplan in...

Our Elks lodge, Broken Arrow OK #2673, has an auxiliary camping club named the Roaming Elks Camping Club. This weekend was our fall campout at Sequoyah State Park at Ft Gibson lake in Oklahoma. The campout had a Gilligan's Island theme. Campers were encouraged to decorate their trailer and...

Just an update in case anyone runs across this thread in the future... A Heartland rep contacted me directly last week. He contacted a rep from Lippert who advised against adding a bumper mounted bike rack to the rear bumper of the 3650BH. The Lippert rep also mention that since this was...

Thanks for the suggestions Dave. I definitely like version 2.0, but my dish has the arm mounted like the one in your version 1.0 pics. For now I've removed the dish itself as danemayer suggested. I'm surprised at how much more portable that made the whole thing. Most likely more than folding...
